My zeddy poo's is a 93 manufactured 95 spec jdm. Velour interior, pillar seatbelts not door, rear 3 points and boomerang spoiler oh and 4 speed fan control pod. Is it a series 2 or series 3. never been 100% sure :headvswal I've read the model comparison thing but still not certain.

Has any one put a for sale sign, in there car , if so how did you get on

once you get past the front bumper and spoiler, looks like a nice clean zed with a few nice bits http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1210718.htm

Just been dummy fitting the turbos to the engine and noticed that there is a adapter block on the engine which the oem oil feed line went too from the turbo. With the new oil feed line on the t28r's i've noticed that i need a new adapter fitting to replace the adapter block to accept the oil line off the new turbos to connect to the engine. Does anyone know where i could get these little adapters from or what thread sizes i would be looking at? I'm guessing they would all be the same size for uprated turbos and the oil feed lines? Thanks, Ant

Just out of interest, how much did you spend on your zed when you bought it. I know mine was a total bargain and fully working, needed the odd bit of cosmetic stuff on the outside, nothing major, any work ive done myself, the most expensive was doing the clutch. £200. M reg UK TT Manual £1500. everything working and it still gets used every single day.:hyper: What did yours set you back??????????

What brand would you guys recommend for clear, crisp, bass sound and good price.

is it normal for the digital climate control reading to re-set itself to 25 everytime the car is turned off, or is there a problem,with it doing that ??

Where is the best place to jack the whole back end up without doing damage? I have two jacks, but was wondering if there was a central place? Cheers...

As well as being new to the Zed, I'm also new to turbo's (used to V8's) and therefore know little about boost controllers. A few questions Is the boost pressure controlled from the module, or do you still need to adjust a valve located elsewhere? Do people slate the seperate boost gauge/boost valve because it's good to have a flash looking gizmo inside their car? Why are the controller modules so wildly different in price? Is there really a huge amount of gain for paying £200 over the odds of another make? I just need this basic info so I can assess fully which unit would suit my needs!

The black widebody has been relisted on ebay, at least this time he lists the problems with it. Looks like he is trying to get the chavs interested with the graphics:hurl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230370650036&rvr_id=&mfe=sidebar

As in the title im looking for info on any ones settings for the profec b to compair as well as your engine mods/spec, plus what power did this set up achive for you.

My E280 had been feeling somewhat sluggish for the past few months, and matters came to a head a few days ago when anything other than a feather light right foot was causing the car to stutter and refusing to accelerate. Took it to a Merc garage today and the result was a new MAF (and a huge bill!). Voila! Feels like a new car; amazing how you get used to things. The only problem now is that it doesn't feel any slower than my rejuvenated NA Zed...
