Yeah I'll check them out. Have heard Sheik yerbouti before but don't think I've heard of the others although I seem to remember a song called Willie the Pimp??

from Hot Rats, its actually Captain Beefheart singing that track.

look for track called black napkins on you tube, its about as zappa as it gets!
 
Fitting my new waste-gate actuator today, my one is buggered and bent, £35 from SP, very happy with it.
I will be replacing the turbo cartridge and associated piping and have sourced a replacement cartridge from Melett.

Funny you should say that, I did think was a tad loose, pushed the hook further in and found a second click, went around and did it too the others all good now.
Been using aero twins for around 10yrs now very happy with them.
( i have had to pinch up my hook on other cars before with these)
 
Toys have arrived!
x 3 Lucas green top brand spanking new injectors, so I forecast some swearing and spanner throwing this weekend....

Ouch bet they were a bit dear.
Just out of curiosity how much was the turbo cartridge if you don't mind me asking.

By the way looks like you can get Hot Rats again, there was a dispute with Zapa's estate and the prices of some of his records went crazy I thought they were misprints.
Still have my Vinyl copy
 
Injectors £160 Plus vat ( I have a trade account with suppliers ) they found some old Mercedes injectors lying around so waived the £80 per injector surcharge, so happy days. They are brand new, not reconditioned and made by Lucas which I understand is what I would have got from main dealer for just the small sum of £759.99 each!

The turbo waste-gate actuator was £35 (inc P&P) from SIP, no trade account there sadly.

Check out www.zappa.com discography and links to purchase in all media's. I got a copy of hot rats a few months ago on CD from HMV online for £5.99 xmas gift for friend. Pre 84 was released on 'Zappa Records' by phonogram, anything from 84 onwards was released under 'Barking Pumpkin' via CBS.
The record companies are a bunch of cnutz, and hated the fact he retained all rights for artistic media and production, ever so often there is a bun fight about it. Zappa Estate does re-release stuff on vinyl every now and again.

Blimy that's a great price for brand new, I think re con are usually more expensive than that.
