Is there a difference between them. Which is better for our cars. Is there an improvement on performance between them and stock plugs. Thanks Guys Konrad

And found the magnet in the bottom covered in very small metal filings. almost like copper slip but silver. it was about the size of half a golf ball. is this normal?

has anyone seen the car for sale in the forum. its a white 93 tt manual with 19 alloys and smooth tailgate. its nearly at top of page. i was wondering if anyone knows of this car as i am going to have a look at it soon. also is the price ok. i got some pics from him of the engine bay and the inner wings are black. why would this be on a white car.

Anyone know where the cheapest exhaust suppliers are. I want a twin pipe like a mongoose but most places want about £500. Also, they don't come with gaskets, anyone know who supplies these.

AS above ppl, is it worth putting both in? or will they cancel out one another, by CO2 i mean fuel bar air intake and intercooler spray, NOS is a wet kit, any thoughts?? Cheers Guys and gals Neil

F**k me. you people werent joking when you said the gearbox was heavy. gonna pull the engine on sunday when i get a crane. got about a thousand bolts and dont know where any of them go. as for the wires im gonna need alot of help from you lads.

Has anyone installed this on their car ? How beneficial was it after install and overall was it worth the money spent ? On the Powergate Solutions website, there is a massive list of products, which one does one go for ? Finally, how does one get this installed and what does it cost, anyone in North London who specilaize this ? Cheers..

...right, I'm going to order some MT90. Have noticed 2nd and 4th being audible. Not excessively loud. No crunching or anything. But with the t-tops on, you can hear the gears. I've changed the oil, but not for MT90. I had light crunching in 2nd, with replacement gear oil that went. But 2nd and 4th have become audable. Should MT90 get rid of this?

I've just ordered a Hawk HA-101 Cat 1 alarm and am planning to fit it myself to my new Zed this weekend. The professional installers charge a fortune for fitting them and I am not too interested in getting an insurance reduction, I'm more interested in security, remote central locking, engine immobiliser and a microwave sensor (to help protect my Zed when the Targas are off). Any advice on things to do, or not to do, when self installing? Dave

what is this and how do i remove it? it is attached to the drivers side of the gearbox.

My present Zed is 1990 Jap import manual and, although it is a non-turbo, it has a TT front bumper/spoiler which I think is a great improvement. I am picking up my new Zed on Friday which is a 1995 Jap import manual. It also is a non-turbo BUT it has a non-turbo front bumper/spoiler which looks a bit plain to my eyes. SO, I am planning to replace with a TT version. I am negotiating for one at the moment that is identical to my 1990 version but it has occurred to me that the 1995 version might be different. Would anyone who has a photo of a 1995 TT that shows the ORIGINAL front bumper/spoiler please post it here so that I can judge/compare. Many thanks - Da…

Turned on my windscreen demister earlier and steam started coming throuhj the vents and water was spraying out into the passenger footwell... not good. Is it a simple job to replace? IE can I do it myself or should I just go to my garage.... bloody thing... :rant:

I want to fit my Boost controler. Cant find a faq with pics to help me understand it. Anyone round my way got time to help me out with this.

I have had a problem with my idle which i have nearly fixed. For a while i had to keep my foot on the gas at idle as it was threatening to die on me. I removed the idle air adjusting unit, gave it a we clean inside and cleaned up the connectors. I know have my cold start mechanism and air conditioning compensator back working fine. The problem is my idle wanders every fifteen seconds for five seconds. So, in other words, for fifteen seconds its pretty smooth at 800rpm then it drops for five seconds to between 6-700rpm. I have the TPS set correctly, no faults showing on ECU? Any ideas, what have i over looked? Cheers David

Can anyone help, recently discovered a strong smell of fuel or exhaust gases in side the car BUT only when i really boot it :confused: Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this? Many thanks
