Fot those of you who do not have HID lights, I expect you can't go wrong fitting these into your head lamps........ http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=115

anybody had much to do with these tubs , as i bough some a while ago from the usa via my dead mate jaypsc and believe they are bb type, but as they were secondhand and done supposedly 3k i had em stripped and inspected, and have decided to have the 360 degree cartridges fitted, question1,,is there likely to be any different spool up time is just the usa that prefer bb versus 360 and why? as my very experienced turbo specialist prefers 360 as being bullit proof but is that at a loss of performance?? rich

Got to nurse my Zed from Glasgow down to Z Tech in Swindon tonight! Leaving at 2am so as to arrive first thing and then its a bus to Heathrow and a flight back up north at 1300! Its another journey that i really could do without but after not having my zed for 12 months and then once i get it back being told not to drive it for fear of it going bang! it is an essential journey.

I have heard a relay clicking behind the speedo/rev counter the past few weeks. I does it with no throttle i.e. when slowing down. When the relay clicks on and off the car jerks quite a bit as if you are quickly dabbing the throttle. I have checked and adjusted the TPS, the voltage was .444 and I've adjusted it to .452. Only a small difference. I now can't hear the relay behind the dash clicking but my idle is now around 1600rpm. Have I done something wrong or does something else need adjusting ? Does anyone know what this relay is for ? should the relay be clicking on and off depending on where the throttle is ? CheerZ Paul

I'm hoping someone on here knows DaFox. The guy who owned my car in the sig before Spongey. I know he had some paint done on it in the past and at the moment my paint guy is having trouble matching up the colour. I thought it was a pearl but now he thinks it could be an effect white. :confused: Any hints on how I might be able to contact him would be appreciated. Cheers

Guys just a thought. I am trying to solve an intermittent problem with my speedo. And figured it would be useful reference material if I could raise thge back wheels off the ground and bench test the speedo. The car is currently on a SORN while I sort out the work and I dont really want to be fiddling with wires out on the road!! However in order to do this I need to know what speed should be registered at various revs in each gear. So what I was going to suggest when you guys are out and about if you can note the following info for various revs and I will collate and post up for future reference: - NA/TT - JSpec/UK - Manual/Auto - Year - Gear - R…

Did a search earlier on Insurance and managed to get mine down from £932 with Norwich Union to £500 with a company called Warwick Davis :hyper: Thanks to everyone for discussing this hot topic. And i can definitely recommend Warwick Davis. it says on their website that they speacialise in jap imports

I got nicked yesterday for my front numberplate being too small. £30 fixed penalty fine. Have these coonts got nothing better to do? :headvswal

The turbo seal has gone on one of my turbos and is leaking oil which makes some excess smoke come out of the exhaust. So I was going to replace them probably with standard ones as I cant afford upgrades at the moment, but what else would I need when replacing them? Do I need some gasket kit etc? Thanks

OK ignoring teh engine as this is pretty much covered, from the flywheel to the rear tyres, what would be the ideal setup for a trace/raod/race car. Not drifting as the rear diff would be useless on the roads/track. So off the shelf what options. A: Cost not and Option B: Realistic budget. (£500 per item) So we have Flywheel, Clutch, Gear Box, Prop, Diff and anything else I am forgetting. Lets try and get facts only as I tend to find that hearsay and forum rhmor tend to not hold true in real life. I was thinking of Fidenza fly RPS MAx Sport OSGiken gears z1 1 peice ali prop OSGiken DIff
