I think they will come in time - but not soon enough for most and the other huge problem that is being consistently ignored/pushed under the carpet is where is the power going to come from for all these chargers we need ?. We would need at least 2 average sized nuclear power stations (well...

That would be right - NI gets a fair bit more of the lions share of public infrastructure. Where I work we have 6 chargers for over 200 staff (no idea how many drive ev's but there are a fair few) - No rapid or fast chargers and you are limited to 4 hours maximum , certainly no "public" chargers...

Its done 142000 k's so just over 7400 per year - not super low but no just a fairly "normal" VZ Clubby - so not too special :cool:

Its the same issue here in N.Z, charging points around towns - when not vandalized , nothing in between and nothing to provide the power if there was - Its a world over problem same problem different scenario.

Replaced the rear wishbone bushes with nolathane ones , went for a quick blast does feel physically better - now for the front ...........

It has had all 4 rotors upgraded and replace, upgraded pads, hoses & brake fluid. Full exhaust system and an otr (at some point in its life its been stroked to 403(?) as well and tuned accordingly . It has an aftermarket hu but is standard otherwise. Dont have the correct rims or exhaust system...

New wheels

So heres a question - Given the age of our VZ Clubsports, do we keep them OEM or not bother given that parts are getting pretty hard to find (Well here in Christchurch at least) ? and they are now nearly 20 years old. I have a full coby exhaust - so not OEM, OTR - not OEM, ABD brake rotors -...

Been away from the forum for a while - real life/work/health and a prolonged trip to the UK - back now though :-)/ Started to sort through the "things that annoy me" on or with the BB and wondering if anyone can identify the wheels currently on the car - was told they were off a Calais but...

Living in N.Z absoultely sucks, you just cannot get anything with any sort of urgency or even get it at all .....all I want is 2 tp-link security cameras - nothing too clever you would have thought ? - Nope bloody impossible. :-(

I didnt fit it - But I shall ask the people that did after xmas . Couldnt use my normal people but these folks came recommended - it will be done again foc thats for sure !.

My Clubsport - 2005 LS2

The Sisters of Mercy - on rather loud :-)

New rear main seal - been in a month and leaking again already grrrrrzzzzzzzzz

The othe $25.00 Oh that was a mistake meant to debit not credit

They start on the wall 25th December , should take a year , oh and some over sea's investors called Tiddly & Winks Cheap **** Investments Inc

Nah - We sold Auckland.....

This car is odd - no denying that . When the engine tuner got it the first time he was certain it had had headers on it , had non oem cats and remus cat back. It made good power too easily but we opted to keep it at around 300 kw at the wheels (ended up at 313 rwhp)in fact it was making 336 odd...

So it very much has a stroker kit - more then likely a Mace kit and about 403ci. Engineer tuner didnt completely strip the engine but some numbers he got come from a mace kit. So unless some other bits were put back to standard its a stroker LS2 , with standard 243 catherdral port heads and a...

Well I think I have had some good news - My engine may not be quite 364 ci (LS2) , mechanic was doing rear main oil seal yesterday (that got a bit complicated ) and in the can of worms that is , it hasnt a standard crank in it, he thinks its stroked . So a little gobsmacked at that :-)

wheeled it out of the shed in preparation to replace the rear rotors and pads .....cannot find the new rotors and pads anywhere :mad:

They were also usually that hard that they doubled as armour plate and ammunition - you should see the damage a regulation mod gingernut can do !!

Found an intelligent wof tester - passed with flying colours - picked up on the rear main weeping and a mist of power steering fluid - Ive booked it in with him to fix , so just like the U.K , tester's are a very varied and random bunch. And yes I have red calipers but as the air is colder...

Took car for a wof - failed because i've got "racing brakes" on it - they are DBA T4000 T3's all round . Now looking for a new wof tester.

Should have stayed single - the fallout after a 35 years marriage isn't worth it - you wont find me on "desperate single fat old male needs love.com"

I do 2 days a week at home , 3 days in the office , dont get paid overtime , dont do overtime or out of hours - But as the Senior Network Engineer there are additional work elements that must be done out of hours - just comes with the territory. I quite like this format to be honest. In the UK...

Well I'm labouring away.....doing I.T stuffs. Planning on beers and bbq later tho.

Went to fit an exhaust tip (currently only has a large black pipe sort of ending just inside the bumper) damn thing doesnt fit the fabrication is utter garbage(it will never fit). Anybody know a good place to get 3" or 76.2mm inlet exhaust tips from ?

I hate not being well, growing old , still having to work to earn $$ - But being ill pisses me off the most - 2 cracked ribs and a torn muscle in the back , horrendous cough - thanks covid youre great.

Cannot get away from politicians - its one of those constants bit like that family member that no one likes yet still turns up at all the parties.

Yup as a Kiwi that has been away from "home" for 35 years my return has not at all been what I expected and I may even consider going back to the UK as this country is screwed big time. Its always the same a few feckless pricks get to screw over an entire country to suit their own personal...

Fitted a new Pioneer HU - Finally got it to fit right !!- Ordered up a cam upgrade because that how you fix oil leaks right ?.

Nightwish Rock - Floor Jansen an absolute Amazon.

I have the belly, multiple previous injuries - I get it totally.

Not being able to get the correct wheels for my car :-(, 2 folk's in N.Z both in the N.I neither will ship to ChCh at my cost grzzzzzzzzz

So I have just been "told off" by a little old lady and her male passenger - was filling up with NPD's best 98 (birthday treat) when this old couple in a 198x nissan something or other pulled up beside me (with enging idling while Im filling up) - Apparently I am a very bad person for multiple...

Def Leppard -

I must be the only one that prefers GPS - beats carrying 30 or 40 different maps around as I had to do as a field engineer in the UK, pulling over every so often to read them reorintate and carry on - major pita and dangerous.

Replaced the rear view camera - pain in the arse but well worth the effort. Took about 3 hours in the end.

I'm 593/4 last time I went to a club was 1984, last time I went to a pub was 4 years ago , last time I went to a live venue was 1991 (Wembley for GnR & Skid Row).............
