Hi, I've joined this site due a gearbox problem with a zx that I own. I sold the car in good working order but unfortunately it came back four days later with a so called "blown gearbox". I was rather surprised as a new one had been fitted in February and had only done a few hundred miles since. Basically the gearbox wouldn't take up drive and just made a nasty scraping sound like two metal plates rotating against each other. A few days later, I went to collect it and for some reason it decided to go into gear and drove ok but still with a bit of a sraping noise. The gear change isn't quite so smooth now and i'm wanting to sell but obviously cant while it drives as it d…

Cheap SWB TT with a buy it now price on Ebay HTH ;) SWB TT EBAY

Ok we know that beemer drivers can be a twats at times but today I got another example of bmw idiocy, so im driving towards penzance on the a30 country road section doing 40 as its wet, when a beemer ( 330ci ) pulls right across me from the left from a junction forcing me to brake hard as he pulls in front of me, then he decides to pick up his speed very slowly and then races off into the sunset to piss me off, wonderfully I meet up with him again at the next roundabout which leads onto a dual carriageway, he does his slow as feck routine again all the way round the roundabout and on the exit nails it, I know I shouldnt of but I quickly high boost and decided to teach him…

Peeps, Does anyone know if any company makes a rear valance/bumper for a single exit exhaust. It seems that the aftermarket aero part companies only seem to faciliate for people with double exit exhausts, and i cant help but feel that with double exit valances leaves cars with single exit exhausts looking unfinished. Over to you guys and girls to see what you can come up with.

just been out in ZED and was going on to an A road so put my foot down in 3rd, and noticed alot of 5iht out the back get in to 4th and it was like being in safty boost (but boost was fine). Anyway doinf 70mph in mid lane (5th gear) go to over take a van, so build up speed gently boost went to 0, and the car stat's to shack so i stay behind van came of the power and it still does. (at 1st i was thinking that a tyre had gone). the car idel's like it's only on 4 or 5 but has no loss of rev's, but under load it's like going on and off the power. Any idears?????

Hey people Can anybody tell me what sort of mpg i should expect from my twin turbo if driven steadily (not that it happens that often) ? Al

Hi just had a few things i wanted to find out, first is the width of the lwb 300 is suppose to be 70" going from this http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=38078&d=1150734364 Could some please confirm that for me. Also the targa top Zeds do the make any wind noise when travelling on the motorway? my gtir did due to the rubbers being week on them. Anythin over 60mph and you could hear the wind.

I had the strangest experience on Saturday night. First my wipers stopped working and then the car stopped changing gear. Testing it this morning it dirves quite well in 1 and 2 but put it in D and it stays in what I think is 2. The engine is fine and there are no nasty noises anywhere. As the fuse for my wipers has just gone again, are both these problems indicative of a wider electrical fault. I thinking it might be the heavy rain getting into to something!! Any ideas?

My ZX is fitted with Blitz dumpvalves and they have never seemed as loud as i imagined they should but on closer examination i noticed that the oridional recirculating valves are still also conected so its not releasing all presure to atmosfer, The question is why?? Is there a reason that the recirc`s are still conected or can i just blank them off?? Will it cause idoling problems? Any advise will be apreciated!!

am i right in thinking that the z takes h3 dipped beam bulbs it is a uk spec tt by the way Thanks Si

1) size of speakers in the car - yes all of them 2) Where can i feed my amp wire thru 3) In the uk cars do they have the wiring for the double din (ie 2 Cd players) 4)Carbon doors and carbon wings - i know bonnet and boots availible 5) can i have 2 boost gauges - 1 for each turbo 6) fmic yeh or no 7) Roll Cage availible ???

is the timing figure on conzult the "autual" timing of the engine or what it expects??? the reason ime asking is because its showing 12 btdc but ime getting a "to advanced type" type of rattle (dett) sound on v-power and with only moderate boost :confused:

anyone aware of info on this site [icould print out] to help with this [so ive been told] not so pleasant job , need to gain access to valve covers, to check on slight oil leak ,thanks

Well today i thought i would swap the wheels over, well why did i bother??? one of the nuts were cross threaded when put on and when un-doing the bloody bolt snapped off within the nut. I'm really not having much luck with this car. I hope my luck changes for week when it goes in to be mapped and finished off.
