ok gents this is for the techies :dance: right then my uk auto zed has a new engine fitted but it is a manual engine, im still using the same ecu with a dixons chip, nothing wild :smash: i have just read this & it got me thinking :rolleyes: "Aside from minor changes in the ECU, the cam profiles & turbos are also different between the M/T & A/T models. The A/T has 240 degree intake cams & 248 degree exhaust cams (the M/T has 248 degree cams for both intake & exhaust). Also, the A/T uses smaller turbos for more responsive low speed acceleration (the A/R ratio is 0.63 for the M/T & only 0.54 for the A/T). Even with 20HP less, t…

I'm in the "will I or won't I sell it" stage which im sure a lot of you have gone through. Main reason is business has been quiet since january and it's putting a strain on the finances bigtime. I guess it will work itself out later in the year but for now my family come first. But jesus I LOVE this car so much it would be heartbreaking to sell it. On one hand i'm telling myself it's an un-necessary luxury, on the other I remember all the time and hard work i've put into it not to mention the money i've spent (when I wasn't self employed!) which i will never get back. What the hell do I do???????? mothball it? Go through weeks of tyre kicking by people in baseball caps …

Hi all, :) Have recently put my BOV's onto the inner hard pipes, (which were fabricated by DTA) :dance: , and was wanting 2 know wot vac lines r best to use? As in which ones, wot diameter is best if it makes any diff? Ive currently blanked off the orginal re-cir pipes and vac line's and am using Greddy BOV's if this helps. Cheers, Andy.

I would like to know what setting would be ideal for the above rear shocks as I have them set on 3 at the moment and when you go over a speed bump the back seems to bounce a bit more than it should?? Cheers. p.s they go from 1-5.

I was trying to figure out why I had a code 13 and noticed that the wires that go into the plug aint even in the plug itself but just hanging loose. So I cut back the covers and was going to put them back in but errmmm... which ones goes in which? I noticed that the plug has a label, 1 and 2. But which of the two, yellow/green wire and black wire goes where!? If anyone can help that'll be great! :dance:

Right it seems like a stupid question to ask but, how do i get my wheels off? Im planning on getting some new ones in the near future but can't figure out how the hell these come off lol :headvswal Do you have to unscrew the hexagon cap or is there some other trick to it Thanks Rich

Happy Birthday Chap, Hope you have a good day. :duffer:

Heading East, around the Newbury turn-off. Only saw it when it had gone by, so only got a rear view- looked stock apart from oval tailpipes. Sounded nice :)

There's an amp in the boot for the 6x4's, is the + terminal able to cope with my Sub Amp??? Will be running 2 12" and a single amp??? If not, where is there a hole in the bulk head to run my + from the engine bay???

Having had a Mini Cooper S since November I now find that my Zed feels a little bouncy and wish to stiffen her up a bit. Have purchased some new rear shocks but as I have to fit them I may as well upgrade the springs. Have seen a few advertised (Eibach/tein) but can't make up my mind what to go for. Not keen on lowering her too much so any suggestions welcome.
