Just worked it out today, been averaging 12mpg around town :cry: And most of that is just sitting in traffic :rant: Just thought you should know :rofl:

In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average IQ and driving ability to display a warning flag. The flag (comprising of a red cross on a white background) will be attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle. For drivers of exceptionally low ability, additional flags are required :xxx:

Ok standard 60-0 braking distance is 125ft. I have near stock setup: New disks all round standard size, front are grooved, rear standard, brake pads are mintex, brake fluid is dot 5.1, and finally I have braded brake lines. Results: 60-0 braking distance is 113ft. So thats 12ft knocked off the distance, I suppose it all helps. To put it in perspective I tested the brakes on my dads 2 year old Ford Focus and got 111ft 60-0. So my zed has virtuall the same 60-0 stopping distance as a modern family car, which I suppose is not bad. But yes I agree with many on here the brakes on the zed should of been manufactued with much more powerfull brakes as it is a car…

i have recently bought this plate from dvla for £250 all in . it's not for the zed but should look good on my new car when i get it. T17 FDX (M FOX) ;)

Hmmmm, not sure I like this one, to see what you think, take a look at the whole article >>> Translated Page Here (Hope that works!) Like it or not, you can't ignor the amount of work that has gone into it!

well most are here. only 2 Z,s eggy,s & me. some no shows wich I'm pissedabout as I cold be at roehampton. no big deal to you guys,but major to me. still, companies cool,dispite loosing the pub quiz to schoolkids. update soon

It's back! Well, not quite, but it's running (full engine rebuild). Just a few little issues to sort out and it'll be all mine again.

....as to why the top gear website says that TG has been taken off air to allow for the world cup, when so far I haven't seen any bloody football on bbc2 between 8 and 9pm on a sunday! Rant over.

Guys you've done a first rate engine rebuild for me. Very impressed. It's even better than when I first bought it. Just got back now and it ran faultlessly all the way back. Even the idle issue is now sorted. Just some running in to do now. But I'm driving it like I did before the rebuild...it's the same style of driving! LOL Can't get over how smooth the engine is. It was smooth before hand, but now, it's just lovely. It's so nice to have the thing back, even though (like I always am) I drove home like an old git! The exhaust is still as clean as it was when I left your place!!!! :bow:

Can anybody rotate a 3gp file 90 degrees and save it as a windows media file?? If so, could you do it for me please??

wtf :rofl:

Anyone know where I can download a manual for a 1995 WRX Import. Cheers John Crisp

http://www.iespell.com/ ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your web application already includes spell checking functionality, you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.

Just had someone attempt to fit an upgrade chip to my ECU and he's fooked it up :headvswal . Any body got a chipped ECU for sale or an ECU they can chip for me.Being Zed less sucks!!! :(

Should I have the section between my front indicators and fog lamps painted Black, or should i leave it dark red as it is at the moment? Seen it both ways on other peoples cars, but then I've not seen the black version on a 99 bumper in my colour. So, what do you think??........

Here's the site you wanted for the Waterless cleaner. http://www.go-waterless.co.uk/ Regards, Hu. Y DDRAIG GOCH.

1. Sing the Batman theme incessantly. 2. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sensual massage." 3. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go." 4. Learn Morse code, and have conversations with friends in public consisting entirely of "Beeeep Bip Bip Beeep Bip..." 5. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others. 6. Amuse yourself for endless hours by hooking a camcorder to your TV and then pointing it at the screen. 7. Speak only in a "robot" voice. 8. Push all the flat Lego pieces together tightly. 9. Start each meal by conspicuously licking all your food, and announce…

There was a squeak of belts sometimes on starting up my Zed. I made wooden ramps to JD's measurements / plans :bow: Got instructions for tightening the belts from Greg :bow: Got the car on the ramps and tensioned the belt today - problem sorted! I've never done any work on the Zed before so I'm chuffed. Pics of ramps shown (plus one of the bike I bought last week - an old Honda XR400 for wheelies / mucking about in the brick pit).

Pretty much as in the title really, just want to catch anyone before i start working out the payments. Cheers andy http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=74350

Has anyone used UnShun gauges, you see I have seen them on a web site and think they look good. They are cheapish but want to know what they are like as I don't want to buy crap. Cheers, Scrawn.

I went out yesterday with the wife for a drive in the country, well a thrash realy. You see Audrey has been worrying me a bit of late so I thought I would give her some full foot action and put my mind at rest. Well she still goes like a rocket, and sticks to the corners well but i found a couple of little issues that I want to put right, but as they are not major I can take my time and enjoy driving. Maybe over the winter when its not good to drive like an idiot I will take her off the road and see if I can put some things straight. Scrawn.

A couple of new pics taken yesterday evening on my phone cam. Showing of the re-fitted mud spats and the new red (illuminated) centre tail section......... Going to get some new decent good quality pics soon, along with some of the illuminated panel.

Was drivin about yesterday when i heard a bangin noise from the front, stopped and had a little look,and guess what the under tray had been catchin on the floor. Theres not a lot left now, was wondering if anyone else has had this happen !!! :confused: :confused:
