Is this the worst paint job on a zed youve ever seen? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/217073 :hurl:

I have arranged to buy a really lovely zed which is 99% finished from a local guy. Not having all the cash, I need to sell my zed to help pay for it and it is breaking my heart to think the old girl is going... Things I have ordered before I decided to sell have started to be delivered like new 3G brake disks which turned up today (Thanks Maxsunny). I went to fit them today and couldn't look at her for more than a few minutes without feeling really bad - like I was letting someone down! What would you do? Would you sell the zed you have worked hard to get sorted and buy a finished one? or would you keep the failth and finish what you started?

Hi All!! Now when i first bought my Zed, i was horrified at the shagpile mats..but over the months i grew to love them and can see how they suit the car....now im changing my mind again!! Think i might buy some new ones..maybe they will modernise the car somewhat..!!!! Ed

:smw: this is a polite request for any of you talented photoshoppers out there to do me a quick 'shop. i'd do it myself but i don't have photoshop at work and i'm also a talentless f*ck anyway, what i need is the maroon 5 album cover "songs about jane" changed to say "songs about shen" i'd explain why but it wouldn't be funny unless you work in my office and enjoy winding up the same people i do. thankyoumuchley p.s feel free to tell me to p*ss off for being cheeky but please do me the picture anyway :)

I thought I'd better start a new thread rather than highjack bantambunny's. Can anyone tell me, in some detail, how to convert a Jap import Z32 from km to miles? Dave

My cat did a dissapearing act on saturday :headvswal While me and the missus were searching the golf course behind us for the cat , she tore a ligament in her foot :headvswal To cap it off , i was underneath a car , which in turn was mounted on a chassis jig , using a Porto Power ram with attachments fitted ( very heavy ) the whole lot fell and smacked me square in the face :rant: :rant: The result is a very sore jaw , a split lip with four stitches :headvswal and i,m having to drink my coffee through a straw :rofl: Apart from that everythings peachy :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

20k ohms is it for 180mph? The guy in the shop only had 22k ohm, will that do? I know there's a certain amount of adjustability but will it be enough with 22k ohms in. If not i'll stick two ten k ohms in series but thought i'd ask before i peed about too much with it :) Mental note: 4500rpm in 2nd gear locked out is 55mph ;)

well tonight the night, its official pk2 will be making his first apperance tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! womans just been in for a check and shes going in tonight!!!! however.. i should still be at ross on sunday ;) will supply pics etc as soon as i can! behold... quake under the presence of the LITTLE BIG MAN!

Hi all.

Its good. Stu

Hi mate, Just to let you know that its me who you sold the Apexi turbo timer to. :) I've managed to put it on and it works perfect. :dance: Thanks mate.

Have you ever seen anything so utterly vile? Was at the Total Vauxhall show for some reason...

...a coconut to whoever answers this first: whats the difference between a GTR34, an ECR34 and a BNR34?

I know its a common subject at the moment, but I thought it might summarise peoples experiences for the many new zed owners that are coming along. My personal experience as many know is first a standard zed with boost jets for 4k that was an utter nightmare, autobox broke, rebuild engine,etc,etc My second zed though was a gem. 5.5k no problems at all, lots of money already spent on new high spec engine, basically all the modding done already. I'd now never buy a standard car. Its often considered sensible to buy a bog standard car so you know its not been trashed or had silly mods, but I think they are too old now and will often require new auto boxes, turb…

All those going to the above have a great one :bow: :dance: :dance: I'm missing it due to doing the London Prowl, :D but will be thinking of all you wonderful lot having a Zedful mad time :D :D :D

Right, i took the car out earlier and filled it up with fuel, after this its felt fine, no missfiring. Ive just been out with my dad (so he can check it too) and it was fine on the drive revving it. We took it down the road and it was all good until i went round a corner and it started to missfire, then it ran smooth again. It missfired abit more every now and then but not as much as in the past few days where it missfired all the time. Could it be the fuel filter? If so where is it?

have you tried http://www.torque-power.co.uk its quite a good site for all makes of car and has some good traders on there what have ya got to lose give it a try

Just wondered really, I have bought a BMW I'm afraid as I need a more sensible daily driver and my lovely Z was just being driven at the w/e Anyone help if I put a pic up? Damn insurance people really piss me off!! Thanks, Chris

I'm sure everyone's seen the news this morning or heard it on the radio on the way into work. A terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight from the UK to the US has been disrupted. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm I'm off to the States next weekend and to say I'm somewhat apprehensive, is a bit of an under statement.

Happy Birthday Dave!!!!! Sorry I nearly missed this but got home late!!! Hope you've had a good one dude and don't worry about being 30!!!! I'll worry about it instead when I hit 30 in October!!! All the best dude!!! :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :dance: :dance:

...Turboflush wished he had been nearer the front of the queue when the Autobots were handing out disguises :rofl:

I understand that John Helps passed away late last week. At the moment I have no more details than that, save for I believe his death may have been diabetes related. He was a member here and a frequent contributor in the relatively short time he owned a Z. If anybody has met him or knows him personally then we can send some flowers or make donation to a nominated charity etc. I hope to have some more details later and I expect something will already have been posted on IMOC, RX-7 forums etc.

in Christchurch....bloody hideous in the flesh IMO.
