Yes been looking today for one great mind think alikeI really like that Dave. Just need to do a speedo to match.
There is a tool for keeping those carbs ingood tune as I had them on my first Z and using them with a colour tune the car always ran perfect can’t remember wot it was called or looked like as it was a long time ago but I’ll see if I’ve still got it as it’s something I wouldn’t throw away
On Friday, a nice man from Magic Windshields (definitely not Autoglass!) came and took my windscreen out.
His name might have been Cary Glass. But it probably wasn't.

overall I'm very happy.... Except.. I'm still getting the idle speed settling a little higher than normal on occasion, a blip of the throttle and it settles nicely. The two areas I'm focusing on are the springs linked to the heat shield and the throttle shafts which I know are a little worn and have been on my jobs list for some time.
£20. Although I didn't have any cash at the time so he didn't get paid I'll pay him for both when he puts it back in. Putting it back will be harder so more I'm sure!How much did he charge Jon?
I was planning to today but had to change plans. I will on Mon or Tues if you are around.Nice work Richard you will have to call up to the workshop found another box of Z bits today for you to rummage through.
So... Keep it as it is, here's a fine for how it is?Took a drive up to snetterton in the rat look zed. Good days testing for Dean with a few issues sorted on the car. The drive home started well until a traffic cop notice my original US licence plate on the front of my car!!! Got pulled over for a full vehicle inspection by the cop on a bike and another one who knew a bit more about the legality of imported cars. The main focus started with the legality of my pressed US style rear plate and font spacing and after a 20 min discussion on it they except that although not actually legal it wasn’t tacking the piss so they let it go. They then decided not to Bother looking for other issues and moved onto a vote on wheather I should paint it of leave it ratty. The ratty look won with me a the traffic cop choosing the rat look. The other cop was undecided. We all agreed that the original blue front licence plate looked cool and should leave it as is and just accept I might get pulled on it occasionally. They gave me a ticket on it but said it will only be a small fine. They didn’t pull me on all the other things they could of and sent me on my way after taking a few pictures of the car.
Just a fine, no points?Yes Jon. His words were: “I’m goog to have to do a ticket for the front plate but I can see why you want to keep it, as it does look cool. It’s up to you what you do but if it was me i’d Leave it on.”
