Just finally finished fitting the new clutch and flywhhel combo and replaced the clutch line to stainless. Can't seem to get all the air out though. I know there are 2 bleed poiunts but the dam thing still won't work. Any tips or advice on how to get the air out or could anything else be wrong.

Travelling to Camberley in our Black RX7. The top was open. I saw a Zed coming in the opposite direction. Couldn't pay too much attendtion because a deer stepped out on my side but behind you. It was about 9.40pm ish. Was it anyone from the Club? :rofl:

considering upgrading the cams along with other bits and pieces - now from my limited knowledge, do upgraded cams really cause lumpy idle? have seen jwt and tomei advertised - are there any major differences or things to be wary of? i understand that the valve springs normally have to be uprated, and was looking at solid lifters - the tomei website also talk about using shims for the lifters?? sorry for all the questions - any experience/advice appreciated! ta mowgs

Hi Guys n Gals, Anyone know what could be making a kind od grating noise when I pull off from standstill. It only happens when pulling away, it's worse when there is two people on the car or if you pull off in second, sounds like a metal rubbing noise, seems to be coming from clutch/ gearbox / propshaft area. I was thinking prop bearing or clutch related???? Car is a UK manual with 160K on the clock. Thanks in advance for any ideas........

Anyone know this off the top of their head??!! Cheers Henry

besides the standard brakes being absolulty pants in my opinion mine squeek like hell sometimes unless i brake hard, what causes this???, i brought some bigger discs drilled and grooved to fit at the weekend, i was going to do pads too but they look brand new, discs dont look TOOO bad they are a few mm worn though. Do i need to get some new pads, has the jap guy before me brought crap pads?? or shall i just fit disks and then see if they squeek?? Also one brake is binding how can i solve this, i think this is front left though so maybe the new discs will solve this?? thanks everyone in advance.

Been having a load of problems (see other thread) I decided to call it a day & got my roadside assist to have ago & recover it to a garage. Whilst i was at work the chap managed to start it by playing around with the autobox gear stick - over the phone he said it was running ok... When i got home it started ok but it is running lumpy & shaking the car abit, dosent sound right (this mean its not firing on all cylinders?) - certainly not running ok (I drove it around our village green slowly). Is it safe to drive it to the garage, ie will i cause any harm to it by driving it 20-30 mins to the garage? The chap at the garage - over the phone thinks …

I think my spark plugs have gone, i'm also thinking of putting a colder plug in due to the car running at high boost. Can anyone recommend plugs, whether it be platinum tipped or a colder plug ????? Cheers

My auto zed (nearly) always seems reluctant to boost after it has been stopped! The needle on the stock boost guage seems to stick just after the 0 and the car won't rev over about 2000 rev's but forcing the rev's in 1st and then it work fine so it's little more than annoying but would like to stop it happenning. Anyone got any ideas as to the problem?

hi guys who do i need to contact with regard to a private parking driveway to get no parking or no turning written somewhere. im sick and tired of t**ts turning and parking near my car!!!

ive just bought my first zed and loving it but i am a novice with them and need some advice.all 4 exhausts seem 2 really give out alot of steam even in mild weather.if u hold hand up against tail pipes it makes hand hot and sweaty and on a run of 10 miles or so the underneath of the car sends out a lot of heat.i wondered if these cars naturally do this until there really warmed up or is the steam a problem. thanks for any advice. :confused:
