I'll hopefully be there on the weekend of Aug 7/8/9 whilst visiting the Old Timers Grand Prix ( an ironic yet actual title for the event). Taking the Zed and of course it'll be so much quicker with newly painted bumpers, polished alloys and that new rear spoiler...................... If anyone's out there give us a shout. Last yeat not another Zed in Germany it seemed.

Does anyone know of any services that will replace journal bearing turbos with ball bearing turbos. No other work required just the bearings... Cheers in advance! :p

When it shows the O" sensors one of them says O2 Sensor RH. Is this the Right Hand side when looking at the front of the car or is it the drivers side?

I have a greddy e-01 ebc, my settings are Set 20 Gain 45 and Start 0.15, I have an option afer market boost gauge that goes to 10 on full boost, im either at 1 bar or 10 psi not sure. Can anyone help?

Finally sorted my hesitsting and nearly stalling issues out. Found out that the rubber seal was missing between the nose panel and front bumper, water was dripping onto my air filter, took my air filter and AFM off, sprayed some engine cleaner into the AFM, cleaned my air filter using the KaN cleaning kit and replaced, I then got some perspex and cut to shape to fit under the nose panel so that any water that did manage to get under their would drip beyond my airfilter, car is now running smooth even when its been raining, well chuffed.

Dilemma....but think i have made my decission. Ok folks, as use all kn ow i bought stellaz car knowing i had to do something with the engine. My first plan was just to go for a replacemet engine from jeff at zedworld as the engines go through a strict amount of tests before being decalared safe to be put in the car. Then people started going on about rebuilds and i started to swing that way..... But i think i have my answer.....at the moment the zed should be running around 346bhp at fly and 286 at the wheels, which im more than happy with as speed and thats on a standard engine....So i think i am going to go for the replacement engine from jeff and lo…

I bought this last year and have just got around to fitting it. My problem is i can't remember how to fit it :confused: Has anyone any pictures ? where does the black plate go ? I'm not even sure 100 % which way up it goes LOL :smash:

Got around to starting to sort out a few bits and pieces for bringing the Z up to scratch again, and instead of having one headlight blown, its actually both of them. Obviously my first thought was bulbs when it was one, as the nearside went first, but I checked the bulbs and the filament seems intact. My next thought was it must be the relay, so I swopped the dims relay for the other one in the fuse box which is the same, (cant remember what it was for), but that didnt make a difference. Now I'll try getting bulbs anyway but I think its too much of a coincidence that 2 bulbs would blow in such a short timescale together. I'm just wondering is there anything else it could…

Very nice black one with crystal sides, parked on somones driveway in front of there garage located on the A440! Not a clue what the name of your area is LOL!

Hi guys, I need help, im really quote upset with this!!! Car has been off the road for quite a while as it needed a couple of parts. The parts changed were both turbos oil return pipes and the drivers side oil feed pipe. Also a new O2 sensor on the passenger side. Went to get the car today and all seemed fine, car driving okay etc. On the way home I spent about 2 hours stuck in stop start traffic. The car then started to seem like it was struggling... revs going up and down around200 - 300 revs and running like a pile of crap, had to keep a bit of gas on so it didn't cut out in the traffic jam. When accelarating or even being in neutral and reving up it strug…

...I do hope this doesn't belong to anyone on here! Spotted this on the Isle of Dogs yesterday...

Driving in the rain, turned a corner in second, put my foot down and whoosh! The car slid 90 degrees before I had to wrench it straight again! Scary to say the least and I think the car behind me was absolutely terrified. The car's a NA, I've been moaning about lack of power and the tyres have lots of tread. Is this normal? Does the car have any form of anti-skid/spin? My rear shocks are due to be changed shortly as they are finished; would they 'help' the car to spin/slide? The only reason I ask is that I have driven more powerful cars in the past of a similar configuration (RWD, Manual, over 230bhp) and never had it slide so easily, even in the rain. …
