Yo guys, as you know i looking waiting for some autostada alloys to pop up, soi went to check the size of mine to make sure i buy a matching set in the same size. i went to have a look measured and come up with these measurements. i thought these alloys only come in 16" and 17"'s mine are saying 18.5 and so on ...are these alloys measure differently? or maybe mine have been converted? 1 2 3 4 5 thankz

Im nearly ready!! There is a space in the garage! Its coming soon.:clap: Some parts are here already.:biggrin: Some are almost here.:thumbup: I feel a big long forum thread coming on......:innocent: With lots of pics and some familiar traders involved......:punk:

Hi all. I`m having issues with cold starts/idle/running in that it will start and idle on high but as soon as it drops it chugs, hunts drops and dies. I`ve swapped maf (cheers joely p) and eliminated that, replaced the water temp sensor last year but still have to check. No vac leaks as far as i can tell. So i`m now onto the idle valves. I`ve removed both, cleaned and ohm tested but my query is this. All i can find re the ohms is 10 ohms for the main idle, the idle/aircon compensator i`m not worried about as i have no air con. The bi metal idle valve (air regulator) 75ohm. I`m getting readings of 9.4 ohm and 75.8 ohm respectively . Can anybody tell me whether these…

was around a fellow members house, trying to help diagnose a cylinder out. Checked spark, there is a spark, checked coil pack, the coil pack is fine, checked basically everything, when doing the screw driver test on the injector, you cant here it, the spark plug is dry and not wet, even changed spark plugs with a known working one, changed the coil packs with a known working one, it makes no difference if the coil pack is plugged in or not, the cylinder isnt firing, i checked for corrosion on the injector plug, but its clean, infact really clean lol, and checked the wires. Only thing i couldnt check was a signal to the injector wire and the injector its self. …

Hi Chaps, Can I just run this past some way-more experienced eyes? :bow: Just to see whether I'm working this out right for the Rota Grids (18s) that I was looking at. Working from the standard sizes [Front 16 x 7.5 45mm Offset and Rear 16 x 8.5 35mm Offset] I'm thinking for 18 x 9.0 Fronts with an Offset of 25mm and 18 x 9.5 Rears with an Offset of 22mm would give the following; Front Inner Clearance of +1mm and Outer Position of + 38mm Rear Inner Clearance of -1mm and Outer Position of +26mm IF that does sound right, would the increase of Outer Position warrant any arch rolling / flaring do you reckon? I'm thinking that it wouldn't but hey, I'm st…

Right this is the 3rd Zed ive owned.... all TT's all imports. all Autos (although this one has been converted.. 1 was a 1990 and the last 2 1992's As the title suggests, is it just me or do they have "a smell"??? I know when i get in.. that im in a Zed... its just the smell of the car, nothing unpleasant i think they just have a particular smell to them.. Now is this just me.. or is there anyone else who has noticed this... CheerZ Neil

Finally got my car back today thanks to the expert guidance from Powerzed.. The car sounds awesome and growls like a huge beasty and its still on limited boost thanks to Noel being a big dirty spoil sport.. I thought PowerZed just did Engine rebuilds but that Myth has been well and truly smashed, Jimmer does everything. Ive got a couple of bits to sort and break the engine in and then of for its remap at TurboNoz Id like to publicly say a huge thanks to Jim and Noel. Ive asked daft questions, changed my mind added a few curve balls and nothing was too much trouble for Jim.. And with Noel lurking in the background offering me tips and guidance Iv…

With this in mind (Particularly the subframe drop) can anyone pls advise me of the best points to place the axle stands?.... Thanks all Jamez

Hi! Just thought I'd share my euphoria after getting back from Belgium. Since buying my Z in June I haven't really driven it much in the wet and was finding it a bit frustrating on the public roads - it just seems to attract tossers in Corsas with wide wheels and black windows who want to impress their spotty mates/girlfriends. So when an open-pitlane trackday at Spa came up I seized the opportunity with both hands. The wife wanted to come too so the trip was expanded to a couple of nights in the Ardennes followed by an inevitable couple of nights in Bruges. I'd done a full day at Spa in my previous car (V6 Peugeot 406 Coupe) and loved the place. Not diffic…

Well I was trying to get this finished to show off on the Blackpool run, but those who saw it on the night know it was not quite working properly Anyway now it stopped raining I've fixed the little problems and now it works as intended It's my own design and uses an Arduino Microcontroller to handle the necessary functions, I wrote the control program in the 'C' programming language What do you think?

Whilst away on our holidays my other half had a little present made for me of my zx. So thought id share a pic of it on here(any excuse for a z pic to be put up,lol) just gotta get it a little led base to sit on now.

Right, having got over my annual period I have decided that selling the car may be a little hasty (if a mod could please lock, delete, burn, dismember that thread I would appreciate it). Ok. So here are some symptoms and status. They may, or may not be associated to each other. 1. On cold start up, revs climb to 1300 after catching, then drop to approx 150, before picking back up and settling at 1000 ish. The rev drop will occur after each touch of the throttle until the car has been running for a few minutes (no accurate engine or coolant temp gauge). 2. Pressing the horn causes speedo needle to quickly swing 80mph above whatever it is currently at and t…

Just gauging reaction, has anyone attempted putting this 'fly eye' film onto the headlights of a ZX, as a way of tinting the headlights apparently legally example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50cmx107cm-Road-Legal-Car-Headlight-Tint-Perforated-Fly-Mesh-Film-Like-Fly-Eyes-/251350033810?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a85a12592 Do you think it looks any good?

I'm gonna treat myself to some in the next few days. They are 180 plus postage plus vat from America. £330 from the UK. Anyone know a better deal or have some for me before I order from stillen direct? Anyone want to get in on the order?

Hi, I finally got the car on the ground again. I noticed a bit tyre wear on the inside and checked the camber. Was +1,5 on right side and +0.5 on the left side. shouldn't they be the same?
