Was there a difference in targa end caps between models? Mine are in pretty bad shape so I was intending to replace them with some I picked up (not sure what model they are from) but they seem to be a different size by quite a bit! My car is a 1990 UK Auto. Not sure what model the donor car was though.....mine are the ones on top.

As above can anyone recommend some sticky stuff to stick down the front edge of the centre dash gauge holder I am fitting , it has 2 tangs that hold the back down I just need something to hold it in place basically Cheers Jim

Hey everyone, been running my TT Zed for a few days for the work commute whilst looking for something cheap as chips to run, and on a 50m round trip (with a heavy right foot) I have been getting 26mpg!! I thought that was pretty epic. Thing is I was looking for a mk3 golf gti 8v as a daily commuter and that is only 32mpg on a run apparently!! well no point havign two cars for that saving - only thoughts is I would rather not put commuting miles on a Zed with only 65k on the clock. what would people suggest for a cheap commuter which won't kill me with shame - also for a budget of £500 :p Best, William.

Right, got finally got The Dutchess in the garage for the winter ready for her full suspension upgrade & rebuild, subframe & diff replacement. So...... not fazed by the suspension rebuild, however, i'm kinda dreading dropping the subframe & diff & replacing the pair of them. Was going top get Jeff to do it but as I've spent so much on upgraded parts funds are running low...... Can anyone who has changed the subframe & diif before tell me what i'm looking at time wise & the difficulties I may encounter? Cheerz Jamez

Does anyone know who does it and how much roughly does it cost?

Hello all, i got a spare set of heads for a twin turbo, looking into getting them ported, but can you point me in the right direction, also anyone who could give me a rough price guide would help alot.

Hello, Can someone with a 94 and newer post a photo of their oem power steering cooler? This was a European spec oem feature and I believe it is routed differently on the 94 and newer Z's due to the 94+ having electric hicas. The power steering cooler is located in front of the oil cooler assembly. Thank you!

Some of you may know I am on the hunt this winter for new wheels, I have found the ones I want but have some questions, for the rears I am looking at 18x11 with a 20mm offset, does anyone else have this on rear? Thanks, Dan

My Z has some sort of Piranna alarm on it for at least six years now, it has a single button fob which locks/unlocks the doors and arms/disarms the alarm. Just recently the button will only arm/disarm the alarm and not work the door locks. I can manually do it with the key which will lock/unlock both doors. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it wont some something is playing up... Any ideas? Thanks Dan

Hey guys its been a long time coming but im hoping to get the engine in this weekend, not really a problem however.. when i pulled the engine, im sure i seperated the engine from the box and pulled them seperatly. ive been thinking about it and obviously its nicer if i can fix the box up to the engine and bolt it all up nice without bashing too many knuckles etc and swearing at the clutch spline with 70kg of box on my chest so three options box and engine seperate box and engine in through the top box and engine bolted to front subframe on trolly then drop shell over as per factory anyone got any real world experience, ive pulled two engi…

Is there a difference between manual and automatic ECU' s? I have removed my auto ecu and wandered if it is compatible with my manual car. I would of thought that engine management would be the same as there is the separate Auto box ecu. If they are different, what functions are? Thanks in advance, Tony.

Well just collected our new tilt trailer ready for our zed to be transported round ready for a little weekend fun racing,just waiting for Andy's swb zed to turn up now should be tomorrow:-),Then need to crack on getting it ready:hyper:

Was just wondering what peoples views on this are. i've got welding to do so to tack a plate in place and ditch the rear wiper and motor isnt really an issue. i know there's a weight loss to it, and obviously the smooth look. so what does every body else think?

Can anybody tell me how you remove the ignition barrel from the steering column please. Thought it was going to be a 5 minute job until I saw the 2 fasteners that clamp it to the coumn???? Thanks in advance. Tony.

Recently it appears a few Zeds have joined the 500bhp club, and apparently with seemingly minor mods. Two questions; how much does it cost to turn a stock zed into a 500hp zed and is a tuned 500hp zed really a contender along side a car with 500hp out of the box in terms of reliability and drivability? If so it's gotta be the cheapest serious performance car on the market when you consider what any standard 500hp car will cost to buy.
