Zed sightings all over the shop. Number 1 : G*** WEG Black Import, after market alloys A14 7:40 this morning, turned off towards Kimbolton Number 2 : J*** TMG Grey Zed, looked stock, M42 heading towards the M6 at 8:40 this morning Number 3 : J*** *** White (possibly UK - traffic suddenly ground to a halt in front of me which demanded more of my attention... ) about 5 minutes later, also on M42 heading towards M6. Anyone here?

I've go a quite loud whirring noise comming from the rear wheels it starts at about 40 kms and gets louder the faster i go, sounds like a wheel bearing but ive only had the car a few days and i know nothing about likely faults with these. anyone got any ideas?

Is anyone selling or knows where i can get a standard steering wheel with the cruise buttons on it (mines got some crazy jap kamakazie pilot job on it and im none too keen on it) Also my cruise control doesnt work with the normal dash buttons is this cos the wheel has been changed or is there something else i should be checking ie fuses etc and if so where are they? Apart from that im having great fun in my recently acquired z who cares if it only does 18 to the gallon!

Just replaced my rear tyres. Old ones badly worn on each inner edge of the tread. They are 265/30/19's. 40psi. Is this just the way it is or will tyre pressure changes help any? P.S. I also noticed a bulge/softening on the inner tyre wall about the size of a 10p piece. This could have been very naughty! Keep an eye out guys. cheerz

You should be able to see pics of them on my car in my profile. Cheers, Kash

Just wondered if anyone on this site has just aquired a G reg grey coloured import from a private address in Stevenage. The car was recently advertised in Auto Trader for £3250.

ok - don;t anyone throw a giant wobbly or anything. ok. but.... i was looking at a GTO twin turbo, - hold on...just bear with me people.. and i was thinking of buying it....alright, everyone just stay calm for a second ,,don;t go mad.. but it apparantly has a small hole drilled in the exhaust manifold. i was wondering if anyone new why anybody would do such a strange thing. i don;t think it is anything to do with a perfornance part or what? it is a bit confusing really. why would you want air to get in [or seep out] of the exhaust manifold??? i know that the turbo;s are gonna be sucking air from this area, but why would you want a bloody hole there as well ? why? to …

My boot struts have an annoying habit of closing on my head, can anybody tell me if they are a serviceable item or do they simply have to be replaced?

I have just noticed that my boost gauge reads a smidgen over 0 constantly even when I floor it. Funny thing is though I have not noticed a massive drop in power. Is it possible a pipe has come off. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Dean

I'm looking at getting some really wide 18" wheels - bigger than 10" at the rear. Anyone know who supplies these sizes as 10" seems to be the widest most companies do. Can I get something like 14" wheels?! They are to go under Strosek arches... A guy I knew used to have 365 or 385 tyres on a kit car but god knows where you find these things. Also what does the J mean ie 10J or 10JJ? [This message has been edited by ChrisC (edited 10-03-2002).]

My replies seem to be taking up to 30mins to appear on the forum. Is this just a problem with the cache at NTL broadband not updating or do others get it? Used to have a similar problem ages ago on BT Internet but that went away. Hitting refresh makes no difference.

someone in a silver zed flashed me going in the opposite direction near Park Gate area on the A27?? was it You ??? Tony

I'm only new to driving a z but i swear that every time i take it to around 110, 120ish k's i can hear a dong, dong kind of noise (like if you leave the lights on and open the door). No warning lights come up on the dash just this weird noise. Is there a simple explanation for this or should i get down the doctors? Also somebody ppllleeeaaassseee tell me how to get the stereo out or even better where to get a owners manual
