FAO all traders. As you all know, we're still trying to finalise the Membership packs for distribution in the near future (ideally before the end of April). I know Mac has already posted about traders offering some form of welcome discount for new members and some of you have expressed an interest. Some have said that if everyone gets the pack, how do they know who's new and who's not. I would like to propose a more suitable method that should satisfy all our traders: Each trader design an A4 "flyer", get them printed and post to myself. I will then include the flyers in the Membership packs. If a trader would like to offer an initial discount and advertise it on th…

I'm taking my two front seats out today to take to be re-trimmed. I haven't even looked at how they come out yet, I expect it will all be pretty self explanitory, but where my Z is, I haven't got internet access so thought I'd ask if there was anything tricky about it before I started. Cheers.

Spotted yesterday in Avenue Road :smash: . Chrissy P was is you?

Does anyone know what the red paint is called on the Dyno Rod vans ? Seems to have a luminous effect. Any ideas where it can be purchased from ? Thanks

I'm fitting adjustable camber arms all round to get rid of my tyre wear problems. What do you recommend I set things to considering I've got 18x10" wheels with 285 tyres, wide arch kit, Blitz lowered springs, Koni adjustable shocks and whiteline anti-roll bars. Should I just get it adjusted to the stock values or are they a bit conservative for my uprated beast? Oh, and what are the stock values?! :D

Anyone got a write-up/tips anti-roll bar installation and which setting should I go for as the front is adjustable? It looks like there's just 3 bolt holes to choose from on the end of the bar if that's the "adjustable" bit?! LOL What needs to come off to install?

Do I have to remove all the pillar panels, etc.?

Car failed mot on brake pipes (rear) today, i am going to have a go at fitting new pipework myself. Could anyone help with the size of the pipework and fittings?, as i have searched the manual and search facility on this site and cant find a size stated any were. Would rather start the job with the right pieces instead of cutting and going to find bits later. Cheers Cookie

Ryan at Ztech changed my heater matrix about 13 - 14 months ago. This morning as i drove off i noticed a trickle of water running into the passenger footwell, no discernable smell and the heater worked fine. However the screen would not de fog, no matter how hard i tried and as i was driving i noticed a little bit of steam coming from thefloor come to drive home tonight, let her warm up as usual for about 10 minutes, leaving work the trickle started again screen fogged up massively (we had a 20 minute thunder storm) and would not clear at all, no fun driving in the pissing rain, and having to keep wiping my windscreen so i could see out, heater blowing full on screen…

I am looking fot a reputable company/person in the noth west to modify engine, brakes and suspension?

Right here goes. As you may have gessed my auto box has gone bang. Im looking into sorting that but my question is what is it that makes the box go bang and what part of the gear box is it that fails. I ask this because so many boxes go but we dont seem to have a fix for them. has anyone looked into fixing them at a decent price. I know thay are very complicated as i took out the valve unit and checked and cleaned it(it made no difference). I was just wondering if anybody had looked deeper in to this and if there was any reason why those of us with a little knowledge could not repair them.

I now NOTHING about engines so I know this might sound like a stupid question, so please no sarcastic answers, unless of course they funny. Can you supercharge a turbo charged car?

Well I believe my engine is running lean (so Datascan says anyway) what can I do? Is it a problem?

Just fitted my HKS FMIC.. and i need to know the setting for my profec as im not boosting as much as i used to.... So can someone that has a FMIC please give me the settings they are using... i want to be running about 16-16.5 PSI Cheers :bow:

Anyone know where I can get the bits to make up a true twin POP kit using 2 MAFs? Like this: Been told there's one on eBay.com but I can't find it. I've already got the MAF's and filters so I'm not paying for the full JWT kit. Really only need the pipe bends and silicone.

Hi guys. I bought some Veilside style sideskirts (thanks Maxsunny) & decided to have a go at painitng & fitting them myself! I have never fitted skirts before, so my questions really are how do I attach them!? Im assuming I drill either end & fix in the front & rear wells with self tapers!? Do I also need to bond them on too? Im pretty sure that the bodyshop used unibond on my old car but Im not sure if thats just the sealant for piping across the top of the skirts? Thanks in advance :)
