lol, stupid question seeing as i already have it installed, but what make is it? (the 4th pic in my sig) i thought it was a particular make but i have been proven wrong :rolleyes:

Seen several times over the last 10 days. Wondered if it was anyone off here? Must say the Isle of Wight is full of bloody scoobies!! :) Dave.

Have a few bird shit stains from a severe albatross attack yesterday. Washed it pretty much straight away but you can see where they peppered it-any tips for getting rid? Also anyone recommend a particular wax/cleaning methods? I'm using the old two bucket rule at the mo' with Turtle wax shampoo and then a monthly wax with something I've forgotten the name of but it clearly isn't giving it much protection. I'm going to have stop feeding the cat I think.

Spur of the moment, took my car for its MOT today. Knew it was due soon. Flew straight through, no advisory.....perfect emissions as well. Its always a worry at MOT time, but nice to hear of them going straight through, so just thought I'd share the good news! And as always the car generated a lot of conversion:)

Seen you on your phone while driving! :nono: I was in the van behind you. It was a jap import with stock exhausts.

Passed a yellow 300 with those circle light thingys, not too sure if it was a wide arch i passed it too quick :rofl:

There is an annoying squeek coming from the drivers front wheel, I think it may be the bonnet. Does anyone know what it could be and how to resolve it?

The car went for the last part of the exhaust to be done so should be ready next week for a conzult session the MOT:dance: But... I think am going to have to change the springs, the front scrapes and the side skirts grounded coming off my drive, had to use wood to get it off! The springs dropped it 50mm although there is still a massive gap between the top of the wheel and the arch even with 18's, any suggestions apart from a new driveway :confused:

n/a manual-i know the 300 has progressive steering but the other day i was going around a corner when the steering went really light which caught me by surprise and hast'nt gone back to it being tight and firm any ideas?

Stunned i saw another zed. Grey lwb think it was a k reg, no idea who it is. I was coming off the A66 onto the a19 and you drove passed.

i saw you last nite could have been between 8 and 9 ??? driving south on the a1 looked like a standard zed was nice and clean ??

I was wondering if theres any point in doing a remap when the only thing in my car that isint standard is a blitz induction kit. I was told today that my car is problaly running 200bhp because its 1993 and cars loose power over the years but a remap would problaly bring me back up to 240bhp to be honest I have heard so many dof stories that im confused, can anyone give me an idea about this and also how could i have my 280bhp back? thanks in advance guys :)

hi to all, i am just getting my replacement autobox ready for refitting and was going to try the refit putting the torque converter in the gearbox so i know they are correctly alligned - is this the easiest method or is it easier to bolt the converter to the fly wheel and then offer the box up - its just when i put the new (to me) converter on the autobox it does not seem to go on far enough - i compared with the old box and converter and the converter slides crisply back with a clunk - the replacement sits about 5mm or so less than the dead box - is there a way to tell its in far enough as i would hate to damage anything on fitting - any help and guidance greatly re…

Hi guys ive just decided to keep my car and not sell it. So now im wanting to put a nice sound system in and do my interior,so im just asking for any cheap way of doing this,and also about speaker space as i do like a bit of bass in the car,ive got to admit theres not alot of room in the back to put a bass box in when the roof comes off. If anyone has got some pics of the sound system set up,would like to see if thay do not mind,plus would love to see the interior of your cars if that was ok too.:D:D

I've got a dead J-SPEC 1993 LWB TT manual sitting on my drive. Actually it's been sitting there since December 06 just after I bought the house and, although I've always intended to get it fixed eventually, I've just never had the cash. I've just resubscribed, and I'm waiting for that to go through before I stick it on eBay and advertise it on here, but in the meantime I'd appreciate some opinions on the best thing to do. The car sas a problem with misfiring on cylinder 5 (I think)--think it's a valve, needs head strip down according to the garage I took it to anyway. At the same time it needs a new clutch (which I have), a new prop-shaft (which I also have), an…

See you on the traffic lights near the john lewis car park waiting at a red light! Targa tops were off, it was an import as well! Passenger had ginger hair!

saw a nice looking black zed sat in traffic waiting to cross @ dartford. held my lane up a bit so you came up along side me so i could say hi. anyone off here?

Hello, just wondering if anyone could help. I got a problem with the bottom of my door coming loose which is making it hard to pull shut when getting in. The car has had lambo door hinges on it for a while and whilst i have enderverd to maintain these the doors are not suited for them in the long term, which is where i think this problem has arisen from. I have had a look to see if i can spot a simple method of tightening it back to the door but cant seem to locate where/how this can be done, as the bits i can see seem to already be tight. I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas, as if / when i have to change the doors back to normal hinges i w…

Having recently purchased a 99 spec front its time for the removal of the stoneguard look on the rear, just wondered if its actual stoneguard or were the bumper moulds designed like that? Also what grades of paper are needed to take it back smooth? Cheers Paul
