Hey all, Been huming and 'r' ing over selling my zed for awhile now, looking for some advice and words of wisdom on the best way to go about it? Cheers, Ste

Saw you filling up your car on saturday morning. Dark blue, standard rear lights, may of had the roof off.

Hi all, Getting going doing some more work on the car. The rev speed meter is reading high, the turbo timer doesn't work, and the handbrake light is always on which I want to fix today. I don't think it's low brake fluid, I have disconnected the switch from the lead and it is pemanently earthing (the lead that runs to the switch that is). So that'll be why my handbrake light is always on and turbo timer isn't working then? But the wire runs into a nice protected sheath and into the dash, I've traced it to the centre console and it all looks fine. If my brake fluid was low it wouldn't be earthing it on the other end would it? Sounds like a bizarre system... …

Now before I get slated here........................................... Seriously, how hard would this be? does anyone know if there is a particular engine that would be easiest to do this with? For example does anyone know if the gearbox would have to be changed or is there an engine out there that could work with most of the running gear of the Zed? The reason I ask is that obviously the fuel economy of a zed is not great, but if all you are after is looks (and what better car to look great in?) why not? The idea would be to use the car purely as an advert for a company - all logo'd up and driving around towns for people to see. Business wise t…

Hello to you all. found this looking for an answer to a question on line i have a 300, jap import, with the speedo in km (300) the km has been changed to read in mph so 40kph is now 40mph i have now got a new face for my speedo which reads maxz 180 mph, trouble is, it now is only right if you read the kmp and use that as mph can i get a convertor that will change it to read in the true mph and not just make the kmp become mph thats makes no sense when i read it crap

hi there does anyone know what the sticker with a number on the top of the front window means i had one and my friends rx7 has one i think its to do with when they are at auction cheers :p

Ok, went on the rolling road today and got 262fwhp BOOO!!!!!!, the equipment also showed im boosting at aconstant 0.5 bar. The car was on a consult just a few weeks ago and no probs at all. Fitted BOV's last week or so but there's been no noticable loss of power. I posted my 0-60 times a while back and everyone thought they were low which leads me to believe its been like it since i bought it. Theres so much on this (o2 sensors, boost leek, cold start valve etc etc) so im really stuck. Any ideas??? Car runs purfectly and the fueling matches the low boost levels. Thanks
