The arches are an issue whether brushed silver or whatever. They do deteriorate. There are probably ways to get them back to original nick if you really want to spend. But most folk will either live with them or wrap them or get them sprayed. If you’d wrapped them in matt black I doubt most...

Wrapped arches will become more common as the originals become scabby over time I reckon. It’s been done sympathetically anyway and as you say, reversible if anyone wants to. There’s no great rush to sell so I’d hold out and see what happens. If it gets to point you just want rid then that’s...

I think mine is supposed to have come with them. Thankfully the original owner binned them before I got the chance

Have you had any codes read? Start there and work forward. Could be any number of things really

The R is a different prospect to all the other Zs. You’ll need pretty deep pockets at times with those if you want to keep them going. I was in the Lancia motor club for several years in the late 90s and much of the chat was around the place ntegrale. I had use isn’t one in the mid 90s for about...

I’m waiting by let thee tree get too worn on mine before I change them so I’ll be able to compare. But TBH although these are budget jobs with about 6k on them they are feeling decent. I definitely do watch what I’m doing when it’s wet all the same. I’ve had the car kick out a few times and...

I wear desert boots most of the time. They are good for a bit of heel toe as the soles don’t slip. I did attempt to drive it in a pair of Chelsea boots that have leather soles, on a wet day. That wasn’t so good 😐

That seems to be the one. What tyres came on the car from new?

I normally do put decent tyres on my cars. Mostly because they do last longer. the ones currently on my Z are pretty good as far as dry grip goes. Not so good in the wet. When they wear I’ll replace with Michelin or Continental and see what difference I can tell

The way some folk go on as if they are the main man in a race team. It’s probably quite hard to buy really duff tyres for 19” rims anyway. As long as there’s tread on them and they aren’t wearing out all wonky most folk will cut about oblivious.

My Z had Accelera on them when I got it. As they were brand new I wasn’t going to change them. They are very good in the dry but I do feel they are quite skittish in wet. I definitely drive to the conditions more with these. When they wear down I’m not sure yet whether to stick with them or buy...

I’ve ordered some Total 75/80 which I’m led to believe is the right oil for the gearbox. (THP200) unfortunately I ordered from Autodoc and they take ages to deliver and I’m sticking the car in tomorrow. I’d like to get the gearbox oil changed when it’s there so is there an alternative I can use...

They had some wild seat colours. Burnt orange. Lime green. Electric blue 😂 the 70s…

Not my car. Buy the same interior and colour. Marrone Parioli 😁
