[XPT_Furio]

<img src= "smileys/depressed.gif"> all right for some i thought i wis doin well not comin back to work till 3pm monday but youve really pissed on my fire! <img src= "smileys/silly.gif">

[ciars]

lol, thanks dude, its not sitting exactly as i'd like due to cash flow, but it'll do for now, until i can sort some more mods!

whats your general plan or is it gona be hush hush?



BTW, Murph get in ere and ave a chat with us

[XPT_Furio]

Wouldn't say hush hush mate, im not one for big fuck off body kits n the like, i like the general shape of the car already so theres no point putting big sharp bumpers on or anything, IMHO the "jap-look" has been done to death so im trying to avoid going down that road. Big fat round bumpers are gonna be nxt i think, if i see one i like i might be tempted but roght now just focusing on what rims to get when the better weather comes in.



*takes deep breath after all that*



p.s. you watching the O/F game Saturday??

[ciars]

im into the same kinda thing...the only bumpers i like are the Dimma and Wingrove ones for the front!

u decided on rims?

[XPT_Furio]

Not decided on rims atall, like 7 spokes, multi spokes but done the 5 spoke thing with my old ibiza so want to go for a wee change, dont really know. Dont want to rush into it feet first tho, got plenty time to think! <img src= "smileys/wink.gif">

Introducing the new twin-engined Z100 and Z100WR.



The Z100, developed in association with Z Cars is fitted with two 900cc Kawasaki ZX9 engines, power is delivered to the 225x15" rear tyres via a bespoke transfer box. The transfer box not only combines the drive from the two engines but also provides a reverse gear.



At a recent magazine shoot-out, the fully road legal Z100 achieved a 0 to 60mph time of 3.11 seconds and a 0 to 100 to 0 time of 12.5 seconds.



Once development work had been completed on the Z100, the four wheel drive Z100WR was put in to development. For the WR, twin 1200cc Kawasaki ZX12 engines were used, each producing approximately 190bhp.



In November 2001, the Z100WR posted a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a 0 to 100 mph time of 6.3 seconds using road legal tyres.
