Which part of the swb exhaust is different? cat/x-pipe/rear I take it half the prop and all the rear subframe and arms are the same lwb/swb. I ask, because I am looking at new exhaust options, thanks.

I'm looking at getting a Greddy profec-B spec11 boost controller for crimbo, I've already got an Apex'i filter and a de-cat stainless exhaust and is running 306bhp (rolling roaded it a couple of months ago). Can a boost controller be run on this set up effectively or would I need to get it chipped at the same time? Any help appreciated. :)

My Zed appears to be sick. (mk1 Twin Turbo Auto import) on idle she is running fine, no problems. on any rev at all (2k and more) she whines quite badly, I cannot find the noise around the engine, but is very distinctive in the cockpit. the noise is coming from the back/center or back/nearside of the engine (or Transmission) Its dark, so cant do much tonight, but does anyone have any ideas of what it may be before i attack her? any known whines with pumps, belts or auto trans ? thanks in advance, Zeegles.

No zeds under 2 grand!

Hi Stuart - As you are not a subscribed member I have not been able to pm you to ask if you would please send me the £41 balance on the indiglo dials. Please also send me your name and address so the dials can be sent to you. Please understand that you are preventing ALL the members of the group-buy from receiving their dials as MyGarage has to receive full payment for all of the dials before they will send any of them out.

Can anyone tell me whats happening to my zed again, its being excellent untill the last few weeks and i'm getting a few problems.

I've just got a set of new (well used) wheels. :dance: I need locking wheel nuts. The front wheels have quite a long, narrow 'well' that the wheel nuts sit in. The wheel nuts provided are long and thin and have the hex on the inside. Can I get locking nuts like this? Any idea where from? Cheers! :dance: :duffer:

Got the dash out at the mo' Just noticed the black box on the left of the driver's footwell, which after searching, appears to be the air con amp module. If I'm junking the air con can I ditch this as well or is it needed to control the remaining heating system?

Anyone done this? Did you remove the plastic squirters that I assume oil the intake cams?

I've just wired in my in dash satnav and it's gone a bit wrong, I've been stupid somewhere but i just can't see where, hoping for some inspiration :) it all worked fine, aftermarket stereo wired in, both front speakers origonal bose ones with built in amps working fine (no rear speakers) power to amps taken from headunit electric ariel switched output so i add the in dash sat nav, Y-split the permanent live, switched live and headlight feeds; attach ground to stereo ground point; short handbrake and reverse sensors to ground, feed speed sensor from speed sensor connection in passenger footwell. now the sat nav works correctly, but the stereo dosn't - the he…

HI ALL, I am looking at a set of 18" rims. What size width is best and what size tyres go on these. Cheers. Harty.

I have bought and broke perfectly good zeds because they are worth more in parts than they are whole. This lat month we have broken 4 zed that didnt really have a great deal wrong with them. The scrap man comes once a week roughly and takes our shells and crap and everytime a shell goes i wonder how long it will be before there is not alot left :(

Everytime I have to remove my wheels, I have a major problem getting the centre caps off as they seam to have kinda sucked on. Thought about applying vaseline or some kind of silicone spray to stop them from sticking. Any ideas if this would work cos it would be a nightmare having to try and get them off if I had a puncture :( Cheers Vijay
