Right... I am considering gutting the interior to save weight. If mine was a 2 seater the interior would be long gone. However as mine is a 2+2 on occasions it is nice to take people out in the back but... when i get my car back from the garage it might be a tad lower than it was before and also running 18" rims. 295's on the rear which may rub with people in the rear. I am expecting mixed comments here like dont do it will look silly, im not too bothered about the look of the interior as it will be serving a purpose. Besides windows are tinted and cant really see in. I know i can loose allot of weight by gutting the interior but my main concern i…

what's the max bhp the autobox can support? is it around 350 - 400 before having to alter?

How many people are running seat belt harnses in a 2+2? How have you done it? Are you still able to get people in the back seats? Was it worth it? and why?

Who or where is the best place to get parts for zs from,and is there a number.:bow:

I have owned my Z for 2 years and 2 weeks exactly and today have had my first warning light come on:shock:.......................... But it was only for the water in the windscreen washer bottle :hyper:

Saw it just as I went to buy my ring card, didn't see it go round the track though which was a shame!

Finally decided to get another one after too long dreaming so here she is.......... :hyper: Mark Ps guess I'll have to subscribe when it gets here !!

well got the volks racing alloys on over the weekend any comments, thoughts, abuse? :D

Since my car has been sorted properly by Jeff I raced my girlfriends gtst completely standard, my car has been moddified with forged engine and jwt 530 turbos running at a mear 14 psi, I new my car was going to be quicker but OMG diddnt think it was going to be that much quicker, she said she thrashed her car, I literally lost her in my rear view mirror, she may as well been driving a robin reliant lol, I cant wait to turn the boost up, its going to be a monster.

hey mateys, gonna have myself a little project next year and rebuild my own z engine. I am very practical and although i am giving myself a challenge it is something that i want to do and also on a self educating basis (learn how to maintain my engine) i was thinking of nothing huge but i would like to hit the 380 to 400 BHP mark, please can i get help with a list of what i should buy ready for the project? so far i have: Stage 2 ECU Front Mounted intercooler. new timing belt kit (waiting to be fit) what i would like to know is what injectors and stuff i would need to purchase? also as for replacing cables and clips where on earth do…

right it looks as if my clutch slave cylinder is going as im loosing a little fluid. now i already have a braided clutch line waiting to go on when i replace the slave, my question is the bleed nipple in the engine bay, does it get removed when you replace the old lines with the braided one. so i can clean up the engine bay a bit??

im doing a auto to manual conversion, i have the clutch pedal and booster etc out of the car, but theres a wire/switch coming from it, and goes to the loom of the car? does this need to be connected when i put into the auto car? didnt see anything on the guides about it? and woudnt have a clue where to splice it on the loom of the auto car?

can anybody help me by telling me in plain english how to set the timing on my zed? i got the belt ready to fit but need to know so i can line everything up! looked at a tech page and now i am totally confused!:confused: all help very apreciated thanx mark

Would I be better off with Polyurethane Sub Frame Bushing Set or Z1 Solid Subframe Bushings?? Also is this the best value for money kit on these parts?? http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_8&products_id=3115&osCsid=7fa0ce49a8f24237e347c4071ef65941 What else should I do to improve handling?? Already got a set of tein coilovers

heres some pics of all the zeds that turned up. it was packed today. 20k people aparantly :shock: . were a fair few scoobies and evo's there. including some clubs. was a good day and there was some good quality racing. as i bonus i got to meet murray walker and got his book signed by him and had a chat with him. parked the zed up with the bonnet up and loads of people came and had a look. left early and the burble from the zed stole peoples attention from the track :D.

OK i`ll try and describe symptoms pulled away hardish then had a clunck/bang from bell housing area now have no drive can still engage all gears and also when it 1st happend a scrapping noise from bell housing area does any one think on same lines as me i think clutch is BKN up ripped apart centre we no it has 531bhp clutch was good for 600hp plus. Any advise greatly accepted.:headvswal

As title Silver Z , old raf rd at back of Deeside Industrial park Anyone from here ?? in a world of my own as usual lol , but seen ur flash :D Nice Z by the way;)

I currently have my engine (TT) and various other parts scattered around the house after my old zed rotted away. I had been hoping to get the engine rebuilt and then start looking for a new SWB shell, but my partner recently changed her job and money is alot tighter at the moment so I am thinking about a new plan. My engine was running ok before I removed it so I was thinking of just doing a few small jobs on it myself, all low cost and putting it into a new SWB shell as soon as I can find one. I can always remove it again later for a full engine rebuild when funds permit as it will be a weekend car only. It has already had a few bits done before such as cambe…

Hay guys, do either of you have a set of ramps just spoke to Andy and he says toget it up on ramps to check for cracks in the third arm... Matt, he said when we shock the suspension it may have put it back in line and the second pass may have shook it free again or the rubbers in the camber arm ar shot and collapsed on them selves... again when we shook it it all sat properly.. best to get it on ramps and check under for cracks in the third arm... so have either of you got a set or has anyone else in th area got a set? they an loan me?? Cheerz Neil

Right, bit of a strange one here...... every since the car was damaged te front passenger wheel sits in a the top... so with the help of Matt (cheerz mate) we stripped it down.. well a little any way, neither of us could see anything belt.. we removed the upper camber arm and that all seamed fine we gave it a good shake to free up anything thats wasnt sitting right.. so put it all back together and hay presto all looked good the hub was sitting straight...soput the disc back on and that too was sitting straight, on went the wheel and again that was sitting straight... so took her for aspin round the block... nice and gental, and all was good.. the wheel was still si…

Stopped in a layby to take a piss today. Left the engine running. As I got back in my knee clipped something around the ignition key area - either the key itself or the little release button. Anyway on impact there was a split second high pitch beep noise which I thought was odd. On pulling away though I noticed I had no power steering & the speedo needle was dead (the rest of the dash was working.) I pulled over and switched off thinking a fuse must have gone or summat, but nope. So I start her up again & all is hunky-dory..? Any thoughts?

how can i stop the crank moving when i want to take the pulley wheel off? as soon as i try to turn it the whole thing spins! i would have thought could do it by putting it in gear but its an auto so that wont work. any ideas people? thanx mark
