Noticed while looking at Zeds that some have single exit and others have twin, was wondering if it was purely aesthetically, or is there a reason? For me twin's look much nicer, fit the profile of the car etc (whereas for eg a supra would look silly with twin exit pipes, and I dont think Ive ever come across one), is there a practical reason people choose to get rid of twins and stick a single exit pipe on?? :hyper:

my digital clock in the car has become so dim i can hardly see it now, any ideas?

I'm after an easy place to put a set of 6x9's till I put my sound system in, dont mind a bit of cutting.

If the timing was out could that be the cause of my missfiring at top end problem? I dont understand timing at all, it goes right over my head :rolleyes:

Hello all! Merry xmas and all that!! I have a uk TT and I am wondering is there a fuse for the door locks? mine have stopped working and I dont have a door key just the key fob for the alarm which opens the doors! if there is no fuse any ideas why it stopped working?? cheers!

Ive got a petrol leak from a small rubber pipe which runs under the plenum, its leaking at the joint closest to the passenger side throttle body and doesnt have a hose clamp on, i cannot get to it. with any kind of tool! Any info on how to remove the throttle bodies and or plenum?

what preasure to set up on fuel preasure regulator? at present running on 1 bar boost,stage 3 chip,decat pipes,light flywheel,free airflow... thanks

how much power will i get by upgrading to 440cc injectors?

Got bored today, so decided to teach myself how to use Windows Movie Maker. It's actually quite easy to use. I got a load of my Z crap together and some film of the car that I made today (yes, the roads were clear enough to take the Z out for a bit....bliss!). Added all of it together with some effects, added a spacey bit of music and Bob's yer Uncle! I enjoyed making it. Just wish I had some more and better quality video. I'm not that good on computers, but it came out ok. I'll make a better one someday, but it looks ok for a very amature thing.

can hear it whilst driving too, it sounds like the central locking every 3 - 5 seconds it makes a clicking noise like the central locking is doing somthing (its not) also when im staitionary and the engine is idling it makes the lights dim when it clicks so its sucking power, iv checked the battary and its perfect looks new to its reading 14.70v anyone got any idea what it is thats making the noise iv taken the door card off but i cant locate the noise?

Ok, my current situation is that i have a mapped ecu, standard new tubs, forged rods and pistons and AVCR bc. Problem is the stock boost restrictor (not the solenoid, the actual mig tip insdie the pipe) was taken out of the passenger side, but left in the drivers side. What effect would this have when trying to reach 15psi or 1 bar boost? Would the passenger side compensate? is it even a problem that its still in there? Can the pipe be accessed from under the carwithout removing any components?

Does anybody have any of the above that i can borrow located around manchester? Just a wild stab in dark here :hyper:

Murt & his mate, and also Jimmer's mate Daryl (don't know your forum name) For popping over yesterday to find out what was wrong with my zed! Jay ---

I wake up this morning, lovely sunny day in Sussex, going over to my folks this afternoon and the kids are coming to my mums at 3. So i had nothing to do. My neighbours must think im bonkers, i washed the zed, and hooverd the inside, so fook it nothing to do for a few hours. Im off for a drive. The roads are empty and dry, the music was tranquil (Motown classics) £50 of Shell's finest and a shot of injector cleaner, and hour later, the lady is spot on and hasnt missed a beat. Now the drinking starts, im onto my 3rd Stella and feeling great............ and if you ask! Yep im feeling merry. Stu

Hello folks. Thats me stuck out at work in the middle of the north sea for xmas and new year, how fun.lol. Not getting home until the 3rd of january:( they got us alcohol free becks tho and gave us the day off so should be fun:rofl: Anyways............... I am hoping to be getting a high level rear spoiler, it has a 3rd brake light in it, i was wondering how i would connect this in to my car to ensure it comes on as im sure with the spoiler on and the light not working it is illegal. I have a jap import 1993 incase this comes into the equation. Cheers Lads Merry xmas:D

Driving into town to meet up with some friends iv not seen for a while on my way i see Griff925 parked up by the bypass stopped by him and we had a nice little chat, was nice to meet him as well!!! Later on (10pm) was on my way home and spotted another Zed in a BP petrol station, turned around and had a nice chat to the guy for a few mins and told him about the Forums! He had just bought a White TT Manual on 19's with some Blue Decals down the side and a huge fusion sound system! looked very neat and was also nice to meet him as well!! Shocked as the entire time i have owned the Zed apart from Car meets and trips to Zedworld i have only ever seen 2 Zeds on the…

Dark blue,modded Zed, reg (R*** OKF) - parked up in volvo car park around 16.45 on Zone 2 never seen you around so would be nice to know who's it is !:)

my car has not been driven for 3 months because it wasnt taxed, when i parked it up there were no probs at all. taxed it and took it out for a short spin today and there is something wrong, not the engine, but over 40mph dreadful vibrations and some kind of juddering from the rear passenger side i think, and the steering didnt seem to be working properly, any idea lads thanks.

When i close my drivers door it always feels weak and rattles but the passenger door feels solid and strong. Any tips to make it sound/feel better?

Well my wheels have taken a beating on the winter roads. All the laqure has started to flake and dirt has started to get under etc. Now the lips isnt s/s its just polised alloy. so what i was wondering is i was going to wet and dry the whole lip and polish it to a high finish and keep it well waxed, or with the 1st sign of water will it turn grey?? If this is the case then i will have to relaqure them. Its not the spokes that have gone funny its just the lip :(

Ok, ive been having a problem with idle and boosting lately and ive finally fixed it.. The dump valves! So ive removed them and refitted the recircs, but im still getting problems when on boost, at high rpm's i hear a sound from the exhaust that sounds like its dumping oil or fuel and it's struggling to get to the redline. EDIT - Missfiring! It also feels down on power and the boost gauge is stating 0.6bar (8.7psi) when running on 1.2mm boost jets which should be 0.8bar (11.6psi) Ive search everywhere for a boost leak but cannot find one or hear any hissing anywhere. Ive also done a ECU error code check and o2 sensor check and all is fine. All inje…
