Hi people, Does anyone know a reputable company to lower my Tein coil-overs and reset my geometry, in Suffolk/Norfolk area, maybe north Essex area too. Cheers all, Al.

Got my zed MOT'd on Friday and happy to say it passed as usual :hyper: :dance: Also got it taxed in the nick of time, the queue was rubbish on Friday the 31st with every other unorganised person taxing their vehicles also! :rofl: Anyway just filing the MOT away with my other stuff and i noticed i have done a measly 3000 miles in a whole year!! Who's done less and who's done more - thats what i wanna know :D Mine is primarily used on Sunday's however if its a nice day i will take it out after a hard days work and get some girlies looking my way - i say girls i mean men who don't wanna look but they can't help themselves having a peek when they think you won't not…

anyone know uk spec car cant seem to find it anywhere stereo and mirrors

Seen a black zed, came off the round about at glasgow airport and was heading in the direction of linwood cinema and car showrooms etc?

how smooth should a zed idle? i ahve beem trying to iron out all the bugs from my zed. im not sure if i still have a problem or not. i stilll feel it could be better. it deffinatly does not misfire but still has a slightly lumpy idle which infact feels worse when touching the body of the car than touching the engine. i have replaced all the connectors checked the temp sensor resistance replaced the pcv valves (they were new anyway) cleaned up the cas today and set timing the 15 btdc- was about 11 cleaned out throttles replaced all vac hoses checked coil packs and the springs that go to the plugs cleaned out idle valves etc deleated carbon c…

Just finished moving the zed and its engine in this afternoon, just my bed and desk etc to do tomorrow and i'm finished :D Good to know i have my priorities right eh? :rofl: (sorry for the crap quality, haven't had time to stop all day so quickly grabbed a couple of shots) The first 6.3 litre mid engined metro in the uk :rofl:

got my 300tt MOTed today.on the way home i spotted my short shift was a bit worm. i had a new clutch and flywheel fitted two weeks ago but have only just picked up on this. is it due to the clutch bedding in or do i have a problem.it is a compition clutch and a supper light flywheel.

Hiya bud , just wanted to pick ya brains about an autobox problem , i replaced my last autobox about a year ago , it had a slipping 2nd gear clutch pack but it als had a strange quirk of when starting the car up , usually after being stood overnight or all day , i would put it in drive , try to pull off but it would be in third gear ???? switch off and re-start , it would flash the power light but not a definate fault code , in drive again and it would be perfect apart from the slipping clutch pack . Now after replacing the box with a low mileage and really smooth box , it,s started doing the third gear thing again , switch off and re-start sometimes a few times before …

Anyone know the correct running water temperature for TT, the oe gauge is about half but the aftermarket gauge is around 85-90 degrees. I'm trying to work out if the rads I have are big enough or I need to rig up one of the fans to run off an ignition fed live so it runs as soon as the engine is started.

Orderd all new drive belts ,not cam,3in total asked for a fitted price ?£86.per hour, no wonder garages are strugling he wouldnt entertain a drink ,ie £50 , seemed most of his regulars are retired folk , by the way this is a local main dealer,

1st one early in the morning in the High Street black 2nd one about 4pm parked up in Green Lane Northgate again black 3rd one about 5pm driving past the White Knight in Poundhill again in black

Hi all, Am currently looking for a TT and have found one at a nice price however seller says the Turbos are 'smoking' two questions really; 1. Is it a big job to replace a pair of turbos? 2.(More importanlty) Does this mean the car has been thrashed ? Thanks in advance! Jake

I am debatting whether to drop my 300 1" to get the rims up to the arch. What do you all think? Should I do it, or stay as is? Al.

losing a little water from somewhere under driver's side engine bay, boost has recently dropped by 3psi under the same settings that were giving me 15psi before and although ive not put stupid settings in, ive not been able to get higher than 13.5psi, and im getting some whitish smoke reportedly from only one zorst does this mean that one of my turbos (baring in mind that they were rebuilt less than 2 years ago) is fooked? also, an idiot's maths lesson: ive read that a koyo rad takes about 7 litres of coolant - i just put 700ml in to fill it to the brim, does this mean that i was ok for fluid before and that the level had just sank down out of sight naturally?…

Red LWB with vented nose panel flying past me towards harwell green bank (The 20mp steep road with loads of speed bumps lol) This seems to be the place to be for Z's lately, 2 on the trot! :-/ Anyways, who was it!! lol

there is a silver zed in the video with the same wheels as 300_zedx and funkysi's car is in the vid

To wide arch or not to wide arch?? This is the question :)
