Have you all noticed the amount of new blood we have in the club, or at least on the forum, its good to see so many people walking the path of the Zed. I sound like an old hand but I haven't had mine a year yet :smw: Still can only be good for the club to grow.

Just had a strange thought about a lime green zed! Bit random i know but it would look lovely. Anyone on here got one and care 2 post some pics???

Is there anyone on here that would do the two console pods with the blue led`s for me as ive never used a soldering iron in my life and would botch it just by looking at it. There would be many beer tokens for anyone that could do it :) What price would i be looking at for someone to weld me 2 new rear arches as the owner before dafox rolled them with a ball point hammer or a bears claw :headvswal Dafox had them wax-oiled so are good for a while yet but just wanted to get a rough guess at cost to replace. If i was to get a set of UK clocks, could i transfer my milage on mine which is in KMs to miles? Dont know if thats entirely legal or not? I wouldnt be …

As the question says, there's an error somewhere on the site that obviously hasn't been picked up yet since we passed into 2007 :D Can you guess what it is yet? :confused: :D

Have a good birthday and all the best for the coming year Have a few :duffer: :duffer: on me Dave

Hi everyone, Ive had my Z since September, it was the white one once owned by Kenny_g0. Anyway, in two words "LOVING IT". I see what everyone means now when they say it puts a smile on your face when you drive it! Anyway, ive got christmas out of the way so ive got some money to spend on her. At the moment the only thing engine related that has been tinkered with is the BOV's and its got an aftermarket Jap exhaust (no idea what, its in the garage at the mo getting a few bits and bobs done). Any ideas as what the best route to go down whould be to increase performance? So far ive got.... 1. Apexi air filter

Does anyone have advice on what suspension set up is best with electronic dampners fitted so I can raise the car height from inside the vehicle (having massive clearance issues at the minute) It was mentioned by my mate who thinks Eibach do them (he is looking put some, dare I say it, on his Supra) for the Nissan but he is not sure. If it helps I have a budget of around £800. I have an 89 TT Auto Targa 2+2 All advice appreciated.

Since I bought my Z in 2004 (N/A 95 5 spd), I have a vibration issue. When I accelerate there is a big vibration comming from underneth. What I tried to solve the problem I balanced the 4 wheels I bought a new tranny rubber mount, I balanced the stock drive shaft, I bought a 1 piece aluminium driveshaft (stillen) (The runout is in the factory spec) I changed my N/A engine for TT, so I changed the tranny and the engine rubber mount at the same time. I did a 4 wheels alignment, I tried some friend wheels, The problem persist... :mad: I disassemble the old tranny and I found out that there is a worn bearing,(main drive gear bearing i …

http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=26597-Z32SL MJP says they are not listed in the UK ??? It's a bulb holder for the rear perspex strip with the brake light CheerZ

as above just wondered do they leak much if so how hard are they to stop leaking?

Saw a red Z with Gold alloys in Maidstone on Sat. Followed you into on of the multi story car parks. Must admit it did sound nice when yoiu blipped the throttle :bow: J

Ok got the car safely back and tucked up in the garage.......... almost,bloody mrs old cooker at the back so the garage door dont quite shut!! went outthis morning to checker her over as it was dark when she got here all seams fine :D I've known the batt is knackered for a month or so but as she's off the road for another few months i thought i'd make it one of the last things i buy, i normally just jump her with the omega ( never had a prob ) untill now.... i know 1 spark plug is knackered, but surly she should start??? Jaffa was over new years eve to help fix the air leak :bow: :bow: but even together we couldnt get her started........... she's turning over b…

The garage I had my car booked into for a big fix has just rung me to say his partner has left the business and he now cannot repair my car until he has employed someone else. This leaves me with a car and no MOT until it's fixed. So anyone used any garages around the Ipswich area before that they can recommend as I use the car most days to get to work, so can't really do without it. The car needs new rear brake pipes as they are all corroded (badly) which means dropping the rear axel, which needs two people to do safely and I just don't have the facilities at my house to do this (no garage and no flat area). Cheers, Gaz

i want to get a HID kit but a little short on cash at the moment. are there any cheaper alternatives to HID that will make zed headlights or front sidelights on a UK TT brighter as the standard main beam lights are just plain dangerous. I mean stuff like brights bulbs and things that would make a difference but not hurt my wallet

I took the Zed out for the first time the other night, that didnt end well.... ayway while i was out i had a little play wit my apexi multi checker, and it came up with ignition timeing 0, i'm sure i've read that you can advance the timeing for better performance, can anyone tell me a bit more about it. Cheers Neil

crash my zand the insurance dont want to fix it they wana write it off im :rant: :headvswal by the way how do we put pictures in here so i can put em on?

Has anyone ever tried to get the stock temperature gauge to work accurately? I'm sure it must be possible to make some mods to the circuitry to make it read over a wider range and be more sensitive. I like the stock look so I don't want extra gauges and at the moment I use Datascan once a month to check everything is OK, which is a pain. Any electronics genius's out there?

Saw a nice blue Z parked outside Longton park today...I parked in front of you...Nice Z...Was it you?
