spotted heading north, just past j.15 lunchtime Saturday - sunny day and you still had the roof up!!!!!! I was on the other carriageway in a Renault, having just left 'my girl' in Jeff's loving care at Zedworld.

I'm going to put an after market stereo system in my zed, it had the clarion tape deck and nissan cd player as standard. The ariel lead is the two pin type. My question is; Do I need the amplified or non-amplified ISO leads that you can get on ebay?

My zed is a 93 Uk and I'm trying to figure out what colour the interior is; and what material as well.

Ignore the maf on the passenger seat, it keeps me company..lol to be fair, the pics make it look a bit bluer than it actually is. The best I can say is a bluey/grey like colour!

As the title says... no club stickers, but apart from the CF flap it was a really neat car.

Finished doing my panels in cream leather... To be fair the pictures prob do it more justice than it deserves, but not bad for a first atempt costing 90 odd quid. Just need to get some black pvc/leatherette to recover nissans upper rear halfs Rich

Today was the day, new clutch time, it started well, everthing off until it came to the bellhousing bolts, someone must have hired guy the gorilla to do them up, besides no fooking room, to get sockets in. After much swearing and ciggies it was off, the new clutch went on no probs, and the rest wasnt too bad. Honestly i thought zed engines were bad, but then it throws O2 sensors and a clutch in the party. I have learnt a big lesson, NEVER NEVER AGAIN will i do it myself. But its in and fully working, just need to adjust it slightly. Give me engines out anyday. Plenty of Stella to be consumed tonight. STU
