Very new member here; just in the last dying throws of purchasing my first zed! Looking for an operators manual for jap tt - worked out most things during test drives but auto box is still a mystery... I take it 'overdrive' puts the car into 4 wheel steer mode? What is the a/t button for? Any advise greatly appreciated Added since Paul's reply; Also wanted to know why does the zed I'm buying have only 105 MPH top speed showing on the UK dial conversion instead of 180!? And the boost dial shows +7 -7 instead of +14 -14.... I eagerly await you all waking from your beds [This message has been edited by T3RBO (edited 06-10-2001).]

Just come back fron new F1/indiy car movie that makes Fast & Fury look even more stupid than it was.All the hype for Fast& Fury and it was crap,yet Driven has no hype yet one race sene is beter than whole F & F film.The FXs are realy somthing else and all race senes have you on the edge of your seats,especialy the race through the city streets (unbelevebly fantastic).The acidents were amaising and so real,granted the story was only slightly above F&F but this was made up by everything else in yhe film.Strange but when i went to see F&F the cinima was full of disapointed custumers,but DRIVEN had a hand full of happy people,so what went wrong with the pr…

So how long have you had your Zed then? and how many miles have you done in it? What would be your next motor? ME 25k DB7 Vantage

Anyone here know where i can get a x-pipe for the exhaust to fit a swb tt, cant find one anywhere.

OK guyZ, here's the deal:- Everybody posts once and only once to this thread. Lets see how high we can get the number of replies CheerZ, Andy

How reliable is S.E.'s engine work? I've heard (from you guys) that it's not exactly tip top! Who's had any bad (engine failure) experiences at S.E., and want's to spill the beans? I need a rebuild (new pistons) and want to know where there's a decent place (not too far from London) to get the work done. Any good ideas? Hope this post gets a few replies!!!

As I've just posted on the For Sale and Wanted, I found a Z that seemed fine. This meant I had to decide if I was really going to buy one - and the answer was: no. Those rear seats are just too useless. So, any suggestions for what I should get instead? (I know, wrong place to ask). I'd like sports car (or at least "grand tourer") performance and handling targa top or convertible. 4 seats, where the kids (girls, 13 and 10 - but the 13 year old's already 5'7") can sit relatively comfortably. I suspect I can't have all three, so what's the best compromise? P.

Need help with Seat Belts... Are they controlled electrically ? My passeneger side is stuck fully (yanked) out - won't recoil - didn't think these things ever broke..! Any ideas ? Gary@designworkshop.co.uk

I bought (well I nicked it from my shop) a PS2 and GT3 and bugger me if it aint a piece of crap to play on that stupid Donkey Kong Gamepad. So I paid £50 for an analogue wheel, CRAP!! car wandered all over, unplayable! Anyone recommend a wheel?? cannot believe Sony spend all these millions developing this Console and Game and give you a controller from the 80's handheld game 'Mini Munchman' (which was a kickin'game ) Glen

On my way home I saw a *lovely* grey Z, H reg, 18" alloys (multispokes of some form), laaarge wing, laaarge front bumper, in Slough.. (Anyone here?) But I was in the 19 - so no point waving, so I was wondering.... How about a sign for the rear windscreen that says "My other car is a Z" Might sound daft, but hey - we'd know who we are!

while travelling back from sheffield last night i happened across a black z was it anybody on here

Has anyone got an stock aerial they want to get rid of. Even if it is siezed cos i only want the mast bit.

I just nicked this from the 200 group, made me laugh The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded into the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab finally figured out what it was and what had happened. It seems that a guy had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off - actually a solid fuel rocket) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra "push" for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long…

Is there any way of making the passenger side window like the drivers, i.e. press the button all the way down and the window will wind its way up to the top automatically? Stuart ------------------ Aztec Red UK 91 Manual TT

Need the one with the fog light switch built in. Mine is an import and I have the switch lashed up below the steering wheel somewhere. (it is on the RH switch gear on a UK, right ???)
