How much does it cost to refurb recircs? anyone had this done? I have goosehonk on both slightly so was thinkin it may be cheaper to replace with bov's any help appreciated

Well, it would appear that in some poeples eyes we deffinatley do. I went down to the "Goodwood Breakfast Club" supercar sunday yesterday and out of a row of 9 of us from HJC I was the only one directed into the "supercar" parking area, the others were ushered off to other parking. I was parked with a DB9, XJ220 Couple of GT2's and an R35 and I have to admit that I had my smug face on:D. All in all, it was a good morning out. Did anyone else venture there?

Unfortunately, i had a bit of an incident with a traffic light on friday night. I was coming out of tesco on friday night and was sat at the set of traffic lights, at a stand still. They changed to green, bearing in mind it was Lashing down, I started to move forward while turning right. When my rear wheels crossed the metal drain covers, the back end kicked out to the left and started to spin. I steered into the slide and the car went broadside into the traffic light. The N/S/F wing is completely crushed, the front bumper is hanging off, the bonnet is crumpled and the N/S/F inner wing has a bit of a rip in it. Also, the wheel is sitting further under the car…

hiya peeps, just wondering? how much bhp/torque can the standard twin turbo engine handle before having to go down the forged road??? thanks in advance.:D

heres the sig pic i said id make for you :D

something had to happen as she´s been running great , especially after the carbon canister removal. Now it´s a smoke issue. When I pulled up yesterday I noticed white smoke coming from between the left fender and the bonnet. Thing is though I can´t tell where it is coming from :confused: when I open the bonnet I can see the smoke rising up as I have a halogen lamp mounted on the ceiling right above the engine bay but I can´t see it actually coming from the engine or anywhere around there. The smoke is white and doesn´t really smell of anything as far as I can tell, and it appears to start smoking once I turn the engine off :( any pointers would be greatly appreciat…

hi there guys since owning the zed the red warning light has been on, on the dash board on later inspection the break lights on the spoiler work fine but the 4 on the standard lights dont! checked the bulbs there fine and the connections seem to be fine! any ideas would be great cheers guys

Spotted a Black LWB with high spoiler and Private reg Beginning "N" on the A406 near barking Sunday evening about 8PM . I was in my Black Supra Looked over but that was it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

my car has a really strong smell of petrol, used to get a whiff but since the weekend it's got really strong,had a look under the bonnet but can't see any leaks

I raised this before but now have a photo of the extra plug that has no connector when Phil replaced the loom. Does anyone know if it is needed or what it is for? The car was a 91 UK Auto and is now Manual. The loom is new style with new style injector connectors and CAS plug.

Got a couple of photos on the progress of my engine from Phil today!!

This post may seem like going back to basics but we are constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore have no idea of what they are looking for, buying or using. This post should help as a basic guide, for more detailed information contact us and we will be happy to help. So, to be blunt about the subject, if a bottle of oil does not contain the following basic information then DO NOT buy it look for something that does! 1) The purpose for which it is intended (i.e. Motor oil, Gear oil etc) 2) The viscosity (i.e. 10w-40, 5w-30 etc for Motor oils and 80w-90, 75w-90 etc for Gea…

having spot of bother as it were at the mo, engine has been swapped, i used the NA loom tho still. swaped the ECU, and fuel pump. car has ben started, but i dont think fuel is getting there at the mo. if you did the conversion, did you use the NA loom, and did you use the NA fuel pump ECU? i spoke to Jeff TT and im sure he said it was fine to use the TT ECU, NA loom, NA fuel pump ECU, and TT pump (even tho the NA pump is good enough) just wana rule that out, before i think about getting a new loom. only other possibility i can think, is loom or fuel filter

Let me know mate. The thread has been moved to a subscribed area only Dunno why as I'm assuming you cant access it either. gordonparker76@btinternet.com

Or is this just a dinky toy model http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1052355.htm

Looks like they are getting a bit more fussy on exhausts. Failed for being "obviously far in excess of what would be considered normal for a car fitted with a similar standard silencer" :rolleyes: LOL The car is very loud but it's been through 4 MOT's like this before. It's a custom made stainless system with empty back boxes with no baffles :slap: Been told I just need to quieten it down temporarily and he'll pass it. Any ideas what I can do?

i have loads and loads of pics so if anyone who was at the meet wants me to put up a pic of there car or if anyone wants more pics of a particular car, just ask and i will post them up.

My car has a mph speedo face sticker over the kph logo and the speed goes up in mph with the markings on the clocks. But i think my milage is going up in km, is that possible?

Spotted a silver zed near Hillside train stations today about about 5.30 - was in my zed but did'nt get chance to flash. Had a high/mid level spoiler and a SAZ **** no plate. Was it you? :)

DAMN, DAMN & DAMN again!!!! Well I've run the Conzult balance test in the past few weeks and it worked OK but Mr. F ran it today and it consistantly failed with only a drop of 30-60... Swapped over Coil packs later on and no change, disconnected injector and there was a drop in performance... I don't believe that it's low compression although it'll be going to see the Mr. F or Jeff to get checked over and hopefully sorted... I'd just like some more thoughts... I know that Conzult should can only point to a fault being present and not to what the fault is but my understanding is that it can only be Compression, Spark or fuel so I am more than a little concerned a…

I'm wondering what to do with my UK 92 white TT manual, 146k miles? MOT about to run out and I put it through a little while back to see what it needed as I expected it wouldn't go straight through - 4 items: * Wiper blade. * Offside rear brakepipe corrosion. * Excessive carbon monoxide. * Offside front (floor to outer sill) seat belt anchorage excessively corroded. I also took it to Jeff at ZED WORLD with a view to getting it really sorted and to get the bodywork back in true shape. Needs: * Front & rear sills. * Rear wheel arches. * Re-finishing - partial or full respray. Also needs new cambelt, front tension rod …

gonna get it on the ramps and drop the sump off, anyone got any advice or things to look out for???? hope the weather is ok

Power issues, misfires, lumpy running? Many of the running issues are simply sensor faults, connection issues and poor set up, or a combination of all three. Now most of these have been dealt with many times here but a little known issue that is increasing with time is with relays in the fuse box that can potentially upset the clear and concise running of your zed and be the cause of all manner of issues. Check out the circuit diagram above which among other things shows the fuel pump relay and the equally crucial coil pack power relay, for the purpose of this illustration the coil pack relay will be focused on but to a slightly lesser degree the fuel relay and…
