How many people have upgraded their fuel pump to support other upgrades? A couple of tuning shops have said that it is a recommended upgrade for raising the boost above 1bar.

I was looking at a Fiat Coupe Turbo yesterday after someone mentioned to me that they have Brembo calipers. They look pretty big and beefy but would they fit/be any good on a Z? There are quite a few of them in scrappers so should be fairly cheap.

My SWB Auto works fine when moving from first to second gear. but wont change up third. Yet if I remove my foot from the accelerator it seems to drop down to approx 1000 rpm and if I put my foot down again it start starts screaming in secong gear agian. Did the auto box diagnostic which gave error code 3"TPS circuit disconnected". Went through all the fuses and found 1 blown,then cleaned the sockets on the TPS itself. Re-did the Auto boc diagnostic, gave me the all clear. Yrt problem remained. Just got it back from mechanic today after him doing an auto box flush and checking all connections. Still the same problem . I have heard this happen to others, any…

Hello! Rated at 220bhp, how power is achievable from a N/A? What are good basic mods and what effect can they have on the power, e.g. stainless exhaust, induction kit, chip? All information greatly received. Please feel free to mail me at mj1100@hotmail.com. PS If you are going to Billing, check out my uncle's cars, a white 280 known as Freebird and a black Z31 that sounds like a beast. Thanks MJ

I'm after the trim that goes around the radio, that has the vents and clock. Anyone out there got one at a sensible price - it must be as new, no extra holes or bad scratches? Thanks Tim

like it says on the tin. cheap HKS performance kit www.express.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/zeebuygum.htm

Satarday/sunday either, just turn up & have a laugh, but who is having a few beers & going for a 'nighter'?

Both in black, XLent condition. Mirror £15 Parcel shelf £25 Providing they are bought together, I think I've got a couple more things that I can through in for free with them that I took off the car before it was scaped.

I bought this printer last year and never used it. It's a kodac dot matrix printer. I dont even know if it works but if anyone wants it, it will either cost you a beer at Billing or you pay for the postage/petrol to collect.

what can i do? needed to get hold of some quickly so used one of the numbers from the back of the autotrader - £75 each I thought sounded much better than trying to buy new and much better than travelling 100 miles to look at a citroen zx, which very nearly happened due to dizzy cow desperate to not give me any info...anyway - brakes turn up through post, one is rusty as hell, other not much better - the shop just snapped the brake pipes instead of unscrewing them and I'm 200 quid down - they're going back for a refund needless to say but has anyone got any ideas - or 2nd hand calipers ??

Been trying to convince myself that a K&N or Apexi induction kit is worthwhile. Does anyone have real dyno results for a stock TT before and after? is it 4bhp or 20? I gave my K&N filtercharger panel filters a mild hoovering out and they look nice and clean. The car goes great and I've Apexi rear pipes so it breathes out fine. Incidently I had a nose into the engine of my my neighbour's new Scooby STI, as you do. Opened up the airfilter housing to find a paper element about the size of only one of the stock Z ones. Yet the Scooby STI does 265bhp. Methinks the Z has double the breathing area as is for 280 so unless the engine was chipped or otherwise inve…

so last night had a chase with a audi tt, took my beastie upto 152, but due to poor brakes and knowing the limiter was going to ruin the party, i eased off. However, i know that once me boost controller, and chip are in place then its gonna be capable of a lot more. So question is what are the limits guys? top end? how fast ya been?

On my new TT the 'lights' dash warning comes on whenever I hit the brakes and also when I put the lights on. The weird thing is that all the lights are fine! Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? Thanks, Andy

Hi all, I've just got my new TT (manual SWB NA still for sale) and I've a couple of questions. The TT seems to be limited to around 125-130 mph. The speedos been converted to mph. I get a strange single chime when ever I stop the car as well (the headlight chime). Can anyone let me know what's going on? Thanks, Andy

Im am going to upgrade from Windows2000. I have found it to be a pain latley. The computer just stops for about 10 seconds every now and then, games crash in about 30 mins of playing them.
