So as a few may no I sold the vento, and was on look out for another xud, I've been watching this zx on ebay for a while and it's kept being relisted with a slight price drop, it ended and I decied to message him and arrange viewing, so me, my mate and ash_23 set of early this morning for the drive to Newcastle. 150 miles later we got there, I wasn't massively impressed with the car but we took it for a spin what put more doubt about it but after lots of checking over a phone call to tom (zx_volcane) thanks for the advice tom! And some more checks I was happy to buy the car at the right price, so a good 15 mins stand off began between me and the seller I eventually got him down to a price I was ok with and we did the deal, here's a few pics.

So there's a few things that need fixing main thing is the horrid lucus pump need to get it off asap so I can get a bosch on it for the veg running.
Gonna attempt to clean it tomorrow as it's clearly not been cleaned in a very long time, it has very heavy swirling, so I suspect it's going to need a Merchine buff, but I'll see how I get on tomorrow.
Long term plans (pretty basic)
11mm pump
Gt20
Arp head studs (on there way) straight though exhaust
That's pretty much it for now.
Comments welcome
P.s big BIG thanks to ash 23 for taking a day out and giving me a lift! TOP MAN! thanks
