Hi, I'm just wondering, has anyone removed the standard rear 'foam rubber' type spoiler? How much damage did it do to the boot lid. And how difficult was it to fit a hoop type spoiler. Cheers Ian

Went for a road trip last Saturday with some friends. Got a friend to take some pictures: :D The guy with the volvo estate is mental, I can't believe how well he managed to keep up with the rest of us! took this along for a bit of fun when we got to our destination, I thought the pictures were quite cool:

:smash::hyper: It's taken 3 attempts but finally got the plenum on, solved two leaks and now the car starts on the key. Remind me not to sell the plenum off a zed again! :headvswal Step one's done now to tidy up the bodywork, clean, bit of rewiring inside, fit the working gauges, put in the new clutch and it's ready to sell :hyper: Truly gutted to sell Zena but whoever gets her is going to get a real deal :( More pics to follow as i tidy up and spray the engine bay and polish her up for the last time

i've got a noise coming from the center consol between the targa tops.took the cover off and its a fan ,seems to start spining as soon as i turn on.what is it? the wire to it looks big enough for it to be important but buzzy rattley noise driving me mad.antone got any ideas how to fix it?Cheers p.s. where is best place to get a spoiler ?

got back from a quick spin in my zed today and noticed that my headlights only work on full beam also my sidelights do not work and my rear lights do not work. checked the 2 15amp fuses under the bonnet and they are fine. any advice on this one as my reversing lights and brake lights work fine.

iv got a lwb on 18's and im about to have these ---> fully blended into the bodywork like this----> im not buying coilies iv been down that route and as im a perfectionist i was constantly fiddling with them... i had a set of pi 40mm springs on my calibra and they were fine did the job and didnt scrape (too much) so whats the safest drop in mm? and has anyone got any lying around? am i gonna end up ripping bits of side skirts off

and hoses, gonna change these as they havent been done that i know of and appeeretly it will make my car run even smoother wuwhooooooo (for the new owner lol)

saw you as you were comeing out from tescos car looked absolutley fabulous you then went through town and head out towards netherd

I am after a new exhaust system for my ZX LWB TT, I was wondering what the best options are, I am contemplating on getting a custom one made or just going for one of the Branded ones i.e. HKS. I know it's all down to personal preference, but does anyone have any info on which exhaust is proven to be the best overall?... Do X style make better gains than the H style? or is that just for looks?.. Is a single exit better than a twin? Finally, all the kits I look at never include a manifold, why is this?. Cheers!

although still lots to do i think it looks a little better lol before after

how do i change them anyone got any links, im going to change the vavles and pipes before i sell as ive been advised it would be best to change them

http://evalbum.com/2332 Should be cheap to run, but I think expensive to build. Since I watched the program on the killing of the EV1, I have been searching to find if a conversion has ever been done to a Zed. The thought may be sacreligious to some, but think about a cheap to run, nice looking motor that would have practically zero road tax (over here normal tax for the 3.0 is horrendous - around €1300). Just wondering if the thought appeals to many or any from the club. When I get funds (after I get a job again and after I clear my accumulated debts - probably 5 years time !), I would love to have a go at a conversion.

ive just recently bought a 93 TT and im having problems re-fueling!! it has had a wide arch bodykit fitted and the alluminium fuel cap but i dont think its the right hose as it goes up then down into the old fuel hose!i dont want to really fork out for a new cap costing £120 when i have one just need some idea of how to fix this problem! does the old rubber from the old cap need to be removed?where can i get a hose and what size do i need. if you have had one of these fitted please let me know so i can get this sorted. most people use alot of fuel in their Zeds i cant get the fuel in!!!LOL..... many thanks Andy.

Tony:)

Ok, Phil has looked at the car and found that the oil leak is actually coming from the oil return from oil of the turbos. There was no oil in the clutch at all and has just burnt away because it is crap, gone all the way to the rivets too which means it has also damaged the flywheel so looks like a faults part or whatever. This is the clutch I have got, http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=1837 Says it is good for 550 ft lbs of torque!!!! What do you all think of this??? Bare in mind its only been in the car for around 2 months or less?
