jj260z If you own a Z then you no all about the clock not working.

Mines been pissing me off for ages.

So with a screw driver in hand and started to fight the dash to get the little ****** out.

A day of ******* around the little **** come out.

I took it apart and looked at it for a day.

Cleaned it bought some oil fiddled abit and thought hello that seems to be freed up.

Plugged it back in and it appears to be working.

Added bonus I appear to have also solved the ground loop issue that flats the battery.

No just waiting for the new rear shocks to turn up from America as the **** Koni's are for the front.



Sounds like a productive day then!

Ordered new front callipers, disks, pads and fluid (full swap) for the Lex.
Stupid seized breaks - lucky their easy to swap over.

It will be worth it. I had konis on my MR2 and the ride was awesome. Far fewer mozzies here though :lol:

Mozzies spiders snakes something's that I've never seen before. Nice. Take it all my stride now it's Nike oh look a snake never mind. Ill walk round it.

The koni's are hopefully going to fit on the front we still have to mod them by not as much so theoretically is should be easier.

I have KYB's on the rear only ones that I could get that a were the right size and b at a reasonable cost. $158 for the pair delivered from the states. Wish I found them earlier.

There are coil overs available but are not a straight fit and at over a $1000 I can't justify it with my wedding next month.

Took the rear seats, rear seat belts, rear speakers and rear 1/4 trim panels out. RX7 is now a 2 seater! Also fitted a new boot light because mine was knackered and hung down from the boot lid whenever I opened it.
