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…

Hi all, I ordered some nice shiny parts for my Zed from Pete on Monday 22nd ..........and received them TODAY.:dance::hyper::D Quality items at good prices and delivered in superfast time. Pete .............you're a bl**dy marvel, thank you - I know where I'll be buying all my shiny stuff now. :bow: Best regards - Andy

hi chaps have another quick question figured out most of the controls and buttons on the starship enterprise lol ( 300zx):wack::wack: but am still clueless about 1 button ??? its like a slider button on the very front of the gear selector ,havnt the faintest idea what it does ??? im sure someone hear could tell me tho many thx :)

Does anyone have his new contact details in Mexborough or his e mail address. The web site address just returns mail. Thanks.

does anyone know witch headers are best for the n/a zed? i made the mistake of fitting some from xs tuning, passinger side went on fine but had to relocate the lamber cencer on the drivers side then found that it rubs on the steering coloum! :rant: i was thinking of fitting a pair of stillin units next time as the ones i found are ceramic coated but does any one know which ones would be the best? and is there a differance between left and rite hand drive? cheers guys

ive got a 1990 auto zed and the switch that allows you to move the gear selector when the break pedal is depressed keeps playing up an i can't select any gears..... could anyone tell me where the switch or connection is located. I suspect damp causing the problem. any help appreciated.:bow:

Just got my zed back today so could finally give it a good drive around :cool::hyper: On the down side, the car is far to noisy for my liking. At the moment it's got what looks like a K+N cone on the front and large single bore twin exhausts. The exhaust isn't rattling or anything its just bloody loud! Is there a quieter cone filter than a K+N? Also what exhaust back boxes would people recommend? It needs to be SS and I would prefer a quad over twin. Failing that, is there anything I can do to quieten the existing set up down? Cheers Dave

Does anybody do these anymore? If not can anybody point me in the direction of a guide

Just went to go out in the zed earlier and it's no longer starting at all. This is only about 1hr after having just driven it without any issues. Some of you might remember i change to a mines ecu a couple of months ago and i notice straight away that it took longer to start up, only 0.5 seconds or so but definitely noticeable. I go to start up and the starter kicks in but the engine doesn't fire into life at all. Not even a splutter or a murmur. Just the starter going at it. Anyway; I've checked the battery and even tried a known good one. No issues there, plenty of juice. external lights don't dim at all. Disconnected the fuse for all afterm…

I would just like to wish every member of this Club and their Families, A Very Happy Christmas, & And a Prosperous New Year.

Passed you just before the bridge in Bramford Saturday morning, not one I have seen before in this area :cool:

Not been around for a while cos I've been mega busy so hi and a Merry Christmas to you all :) Now - does anyone know anywhere where I can get tyres fitted for a reasonable price around the Bedford area? I had a word at my local garage the other day and he was talking about £17 each... I thought that was a bit high and after reading another post that said to expect about a tenner each, I suppose I was right. Cheers!

Hope this isnt a repost.. This seems cheap: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/825363.htm Though I would be worried about a) lack of service history/MOTs and b) lack of pictures Thoughts?
