Has anyone who's used one of those large 1 farad capacitors for a sub amp noticed a difference? Cheers Vijay

OK I've got the car looking the way I wanted and running well so now I wanna sort the sounds out! Can anyone help me out with a rear amp/speaker shelf and how you go about making one? What's the best stuff to use MDF or Fantastic Plastic? I bought some Rockford Fosgate speakers for my Captain Kirk but they never fit so I'm stuck with them. What I'd like to do is replace the front and rears and maybe have the James Rockfords in a parcel shelf setup along with some bass mothers! Any suggestions would be much appreciated boys and girls. TIA MARIA ------------------ Ha Ha, very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes!

Right everyone. Dick head here has gone and lost his locking wheel nut socket. Anyone know how the **** I can get them off?!!!

Just a short note, not meant to be antagonistic to anyone. Could I suggest that we keep the Price Checks Forum just that. Could people refrain from putting comments about the mentioned kit that they've fitted or asking other people about it? That can be done on this forum. I only ask because the price checks forum is a potentially great source of information. However, the more posts get filled up with conversations about the kit they've fitted, the less use the forum becomes. Notably, Nelson Mainfella spent some time creating some great post subjects. It may be an idea if the moderators were to remove any posts not directly related to the cost or supply of …

I'm changing the front bumper this weekend, stock for stock. Any thing I should be wary of. I have looked at the on-line manual and can't make head nor tail of it. Anyone have a quick guide ???? Cheers, David

Does anyone know where I can get a body kit fitted and sprayed in the South West? I was going to get it done at the Z Centre but Nottingham is just a bit too far away. Also, I'm looking for somewhere I can get seats and the interior replaced with leather as the Z I'm thinking of buying has the cloth interior.

I have been looking for replacement kick/scuff plates for my 2+2 and cannot find any, however in case someone has a 2 seater I found these. www.japaneseaccessories.com/KickPlates.asp ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary! John Newcomb (NukeEm) www.geocities.com/jn300zxtt

Hi guys I've been having what seems to be the standard o'heating probs.Decided to go for a big flush and add redline 'wetter water'. In the process, found that when engine is hot, the viscous coupling to the fan gets erratic, rough in operation and sometimes stops when at tickover - just when you really want it. Anyone had this prob Can it be fixed or is it a new coupling thing. if it is, any ideas on cost to buy?? Thanks experts [This message has been edited by bryane (edited 17-08-2002).]

An engineer, of the BMW corporation died and went to heaven. At the gates,St. Peter told him, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven". The Engineer thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took him to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God. He then asked God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?" God said, "Ah, yes." "Well," said the engineer, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention. 1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion. 2. It…

I've got some Z bits lying around if anyone's interested... F40 style wing £150. Veilside ECU (out of a H reg manual) £250. Drivers side window motor £15. Original headlamp panel in met Black with the older Z logo on it. £20. I'm open to offers on any of these bits. Mail me on Ben_wagg@hotmail.com. Cheers.

Been thinking, apparently you can wire one of the harness connectors to the injector duty line or the throttle position sensor line on the ECU. You can't do both which is a bit of a bugger - I'd like to keep an eye on whether my injectors are maxing out and for day to day I like to know if I'm flat out... Any thoughts on wiring both lines to a simple 2 way selector switch so you can take your pick?? Obviously you'd only switch when all power was off - any flaws with my plan??? Cheers, RobH

MSN is down for routine maintanance so it looks like I'm gonna have to do some work... Either that or someone give me another suggestion.... Hehehe maybe we could use the forum instead - this thread could get VERY long LMAO CheerZ, Andy
