That Zr1 is hot. I'm test driving a z06 this weekend. I was at the chevy dealer tonight and saw this earth angel.



What stuff would you use if you wanted to paint the underseal on yourself?

How much weight does it add?

This stuff

it's about a £10 a can, I used 2 to underseal an MX5 completely.

Added weight is negligible really.

That sounds absolutely epic. Proper cloud9 material!

Nice camaro. I think your top speed is limited by a governor. I know on the U.S. models you're supposed to be able to remove it with a tuner handset.

The 5th pic is a 1st gen camaro/firebird. After looking closer at the emblem its a firebird, however it's pretty much the same car/same platform.

The recaro baby seat is so cool.

I have a question I hope you can answer. When I was young my dad used to be a salvage diver for Smit Tak Holland. I remember eating chips with a certain type of mayonaise. It was not regular mayo, it was some special dutch traditional kind. Any idea on what it is? Sorry to go off topic but you seem well versed in all things dutch.

Finally had the chance to pick up and fit the parts. 3 weeks delivery... wont be trying that again.

So ill start at the beginning:

1. JLT 3.0 catch can. It uses OE lines to connect. It looks nice. It seems well built. It (literally) took <30s to install. Brilliant.



It replaces this OE line:



And in place:

I really don't like they way that thing just dangles there - it should have a bracket that attaches it to the motor or fender wall/radiator surround etc. A nice product spoiled by a lack of thought in my view.

I see your point but it is really light weight. Even the ford performance oil sep just hangs there.

A slightly sweeter tasting mayonaise.

Nice to see your daughter is travelling in style Kaptein. Shame about the kerb rash though.

Not sure how I managed to miss this, the 'stang looks awesome!

I always enjoy your readers cars threads. Although this one makes me miss working at MUAC.

That would be awesome, i'll drop you an email once I get back from the store.

I didn't realize Levi had an actual parts store, I just thought they were a dealer.

Their prices are good, along with tasca and partscheap. How are your pony projection mirrors holding up?

I love that work carpark!

Question - are you allowed to buy and register RHD cars in NL and bring them back to the UK once your employment has finished etc?

No problem getting RHD cars on the road in NL. Don't know about bringing them back to the UK though, but I suppose it's the same routine when importing a car the normal way.

Having seen a few about now,these do look great. Unlike previous generation,s they lose the contextual looks which meant they look awesome in the US and slightly out of place anywhere else.

Sounds properly mental. I think toning it down is probably a good plan for actually living with it though!
