Hi every one i just wonder if anyone knows where can i buy a bonnet/hood like jason farrow one? thanks for your time.

how to explain this now: looking into the engine bay from the front, on the left hand side , mounted on the inside arch is a small black plastic box looking thing with a hose running from it: A: What is it ? B: is it supposed to rattle and sound like there's a loose spring in it when you tap on it lightly ? :)

As you may know i'm having troubles with my current setup, i'm hoping that my turbos are fine and it's something else causing the issue. Seeing as we have a good rate to the dollar at the mo i'm looking at some other turbos just incase mine are not suitable. I was looking at a JWT turbo kit but Z1 have took the JWT kit and improved on it. I'm after something which can produce allot of power but not too laggy, best comprisation of the two. my current setup GT65RS GT725R I may be getting ahead of myself and keeping my fingers crossed my current turbos will be suitable but just planning ahead so i'm not in the dark

The Z is needing a respray and I'm trying to decide on a possible colour change. Been thinking about going a crazy orange after watching the Zonda on a Top Gear repeat yesterday. Also absolutely love this Lambo colour but I don't fancy ordering paint from them LOL Does anyone know what cars use something similar so I can price up the options? I'm not sure if the Focus ST orange is quite as vivid and metallic as I'd like but I might call in and have a look at a dealer if I can find one. Can't say I've ever seen an orange Z other than this one in Thailand that I've always loved: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224298 …

Hi all, i need a bit of help from anybody that may have information in regards to my missing Targa Roof Panels.

Thanks in advance Marcus
