hard top

Yes the hard top is brilliant for the winter and looks cool, it's got a heated rear screen which gives better rear view than the window in the soft top. You'll need space to store it. if you have a garage that you can drive the car into get yourself a hoist. makes it easier to put on and take off. O...

Lane Discipline

Lane hoggers are a pain. The correct approach should be: If the carriageway is clear keep to the left lane. Use the middle and right lane for overtaking. You are however, allowed to stay in the middle lane if you will continually change from middle to left and back again to pass slower moving traffi...

floating rear end

I've heard that the rear anti roll bar (sway bar) has been known to come out of it's mountings. I think they either pop back in or needs new bushes. There may be previous threads on this. Could even be low tyre pressure. Also the top suspension mountings can break.

It's probably the tyres Foxy.
I've heard Yoko's are lethal in the wet, I use Eagle F1's and believe me they stick to road even in the wet. Also make sure you keep the car balanced with new tyres all round if you do change them.

Drove the TT Quatro today really impressed with the solid sure footed feel of it, but it just didn't push me back into the seat like the z does and the sound of the straight six purring away just wasn't there.
Although I like the TT I would'nt swap the Z for one.

Re: strutts

Recommend doing the front strutt first, then if you want to go further the butt strutt then body brace. You can't fit the body brace without the butt strut anyway. You'll notice a big difference as soon as you put the front strutt on. But as fit the rest car seems complete.
