The weather was perfect, the crowd were there, loads of cars of all types, good banter. We met up near Goodwood. Then off to a disused airfield........ One for Funki si, very clean and original.

As above i have a boost controller and an induction kit with the boost controller set to 15 psi i can not seem to get the power down i have got new rear shocks and whiteline lowering springs which i been told are 15% stiffer than standard but every time i put my foot hrd down the rear tyres just spin my car is an auto which proberbly does not help the tyres are hancook ventures sport with plenty of tread anybody get any hints.

Which connector is it?

ive nearly done all i want to my car, performance wise. (apexi filter, chiped ECU, decats, full exhaust, boost jets @ 15PSI) im estimating the car to be 340 BHP most ive ever done in it was about 150mph, and i wasnt really trying. im want to see how fast i can go, as 150 is the fastest ive ever gone in a car. im aiming for 170 mph, asuming this is a realistic figure? however i dont want to be pushing the car so hard it blows up! engine or turbos! ive just done an oil change, and the car seems to be running ok at the moment. what have you all managed top end from your cars? anything bad happen?

whats best to use, i was thinkiing just washing up liquid, wont be back on car for few days so will be fully dried out on radiators lol

As above, Castrol Edge cheaper than Opie Oils (who are supposed to be good value) and thats before postage.

Heres some pictures of the turbo pipework and another picture of the front of the engine where you can see how much you need to grind away the engine mounts to allow the pipework to pass past them Sorry i dont have anymore but i lost a dvdr full of all my pictures :( Mike

Just wondered how long tubs will last when they start to smoke? and how long is it possible to carry on driving the car?

As above, I'm hopefully picking one up next week and I'm already having visions of doughnuts, powerslides, mad ass fast & furious races down the ring road :) you can also include non-driving type of madness ;)

Hello, im going to be installing a Air/Fuel gauge tommorow and just wanted to know if one of the connectors in the top of the engine bay for the o2 sensors is where i want to tap into? and which wire do i need to splice? My gauge only needs one wire to slice. Thanks Pete

iv got a 91 Jap TT, (manual of course ;) ) notices today the rubbery standar spoiler is coning away from thre boot. its the part where the badges are, which are all rubber aswell? so the rubber bit is coming away, and is rusty underneath! ive seen other Z's with different tailgate, as if thers an extra bit to follow the lines of the rear lights. ive got this pic (off StellaZ trust doesnt mind) which is the shape mine is. if you look at this one you see what i mean: is there something i can replace the rusty bit with? or do i need a new tailgate completly? they different? or just the lights part?

Hi folks. Lost the thread i had on how to upload a picture of my zed, any help?

Ok here we go. Iam looking to get my Zed to 500bhp. So i need some help here. Blitz induction kit done. Free flowing system done.

Spotted pretty standard black L reg on the M3 near Basingstoke. Got stuck in traffic next to you between Basingstoke and Winchester. Tinted windows so I couldn't see the driver.

Hopefully fitting them tomorrow and starting up if nothing fouls with them or needs modded to get them in. As ever, quality of Leon's work is outstanding :D

Can somebody let me know where the windscreen wiper motor is located? I cannot seem to find it in the engine bay area. Its probably infront of my eyes, but just cant see it. Cheers, Colm
