Looking to buy some wheel spacers, what is the best type to go for, my wheels although non standard fit the Standard wheel hub, Thoughts, Cheers Sayers

Saw this zed today at 3:30 pm going up the broadway. Anyone we know?

So I have got a set of new Ultralites sat in my garage which I am tempted to put on the Zed. They are 18" x 8.5j all round - not staggered like my current wheels. Anyway I can't get a decent answer for what would be ideal tyre sizes to put on front and rear and stay within the 3% ideal tolerance. I have had tyre places recommending from 225/40's to 265/35's. I want the widest possible on the rear but possibly less on the fronts - to replicate a slightly staggered set up. Thoughts? Also, my thoughts are on Yokohama Advan Sport V105's, Pirelli P zero Rosso's, Federal 595 rs-r's or Falken FK453's. Anyone know much about these tyres? Ta!

Saw this advert on FB and made me laugh, guess you have to be a certain age mind you. http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/5446478628.html

time to start a thread now so wil have a go loads of pics to up load so will start with some parts i have the car 100% uk stock when i got it , now in bits ready for paint sub frame before and after

Some more advice please gentlemen! About to do a manual conversion and due to the exhaust pipe on the new car (the section that bolts on to the turbo) being rotten, I hope to use the pipes off of the old car. Now on the old car I have a japspeed system from the turbos back and on the new car car I have Greddy system from cat back. First question is what is the section that bolts onto the turbo called? I presume it's a decat? Second question, can I use this section from the japspeed exhaust and the Greddy catback? Do they join with the same flange? And lastly, the japspeed exhaust has no lambda/O2 sensors, so if I were to use this do I just unplug and remove them? …

As my zed won't be ready in time for a full season of time attack I am doing a single round at Brands Hatch on the 19th June and am entered in Club Pro. I will be attending a time attack test session at Cadwell Park on the 24th March but most likely I will be in my Evo. As always I will be competing in TOTB and as we managed to field a pretty strong team in 2014 I want to try and better that. I was with Eurospec team last year but it would be good to see who would be interested to join me in a one make team again. I will also be competing in the MLR Sprint championship and am enquiring about hill climbing too. Once we have the car running and a fixed calend…

I need to relocate my expansion tank as my left wheel is rubbing it when turning right, and yes I've just had the alignment done and it's all good. And no I don't want to remove it! :tt2: I know A fair few people have done it, any tips on what tank to get? What size? Where do people put them? I like the idea of next to the battery like the AMS one as that would make it easily accessible, but was wondering if anyone knows a tank that'll fit there well? Aside from the AMS one that is :wack: Otherwise it might be a bit of trial and error which I'd rather avoid, I've barely driven it for ages now and just want to get it sorted quickly!

Having got my boost controller up and running I now seem to be only able to hit 14/15psi Max whereas I was previously up to 22psi. I've checked the ecu for error codes and got a 55 all clear. I checked the hoses visually but what I really need is to do is check for leaks. Is there anyone in or close to Croydon that might be able to help out? I'm heading to Santa Pod on the weekend with some mates and it sucks I'll be down on power. Thanks in advance! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Okay, a bit of a marmite look, Im considering fitting plastic rear overarches, I think similar to to those which Baz had fitted , but not at sticky out. Any one where I could buy said items, Or what other manufacturer standards may be made to fit, Thanks Sayers

Thinking to eventually install the AEM water/method kit (boost dependant one) once I get some larger injectors. Anyone had experience with this or similar kits. Going to be running 14-15psi then though run the math from 16 maybe up to 18psi? On stock turbos but would like to hear input if anyone has experience with it.

It looks like Fran has grown tired of seeing me mope around following the debacle that was my wheel refurb, so she's suggested getting a new set and sticking them on her credit card. Bless her! So I'm looking for suggestions please. There are a couple of criteria that ideally need to be filled: 5 spokes please. If I'm buying some then I'd like 5 spokes... but I'm not really after a set of Rotas as they seem to be such a popular wheel these days. 19" ideally. This is so I can keep costs down a little and reuse the tyres that I have on my Team Dynamics currently. Not overly expensive! I know that wheels can be costly but, even using a credit card, there'…

I'm looking to find out if the Bose rear speaker enclosures will fit behind stock boot trims on 2+2 that didn't have them from the factory? And also what aftermarket speaker sizes will they accept. Looking to enhance the sound but keep the boot as stock as possible.

Anyone know of a courier that will handle an airbag steering wheel. chees Paul

Anywhere UK I can get the 6 1/2" front door speaker adapters?

OK so I've got my zed up on stands, have had a good go with the wire brush, and am about to wax oil the underside and was wondering before I get spraying whether there are any areas that I should avoid or any areas where I should be particularly generous? Also am gonna fill the sills but with what? Oil, cavity wax, wax oil, or fertan (rust converter)? Or a combination of those?

Found another one today in Spital. It had club decals in the rear windows. Anyone's on here?
