Morning all! Fitted my KYB AGX adjustable shocks and Ebach springs yesterday but have a slight problem with my Rear Tyres grinding on the arche's when going over bumps... It's fine when driving along normally but if i go over a bump in the road you can hear it rubbing the arch as the wheel is trying to go up there.. Now my tyres are 285/35/18 on a 10j rim and are getting on a bit so thinking of maybe changing them to 285/30/18 so they are not as tall and may just help when going over bumps. Was trying to find 275/30/18 on the net but that size doesn't exist and 265/35/18 on a 10j rim the tyres are too stretched on and the wheel rim's have no protection! At the …

Hey Guys, Got a slight issues where the noise comes from the front passenger side wheels. What could be the cause? It only happens when the car is moving slowly after it stops. Its like a creaking of an old suspension kind of sound lol. Mine has standard suspension with aftermarket springs, any fixes for this?

Hey Guys, Out of the few z's i have owned i notice that the end part of the windows always tend to have vertical scratches on the glass. Is there a particular reason for this??

Does anyone have these fitted and how does it change the sound etc? Any clips? Just got hold of a new set and gonna get them fitted over the next couple fo weeks.

Hey again does anyone know were i can find the door rubbers or whatever there called that go around the top of the windows and round seems mine are leaking, Was washing the car for the first time the other day and realised there was slight drips of water on the passenger side seat

Part way changing out my standard exhaust system to a 3" fully stainless one. So far I have managed to fit a de cat mongoose back section. At the weekend I hope to swap the pre cat standard part for a 3" inch through stainless one. My question is, can I remove the cast elbows with the engine in situ so as to de cat them and re fit? I know.. I can but dream!!:lol:

Hey guys before i waste my time taking of the bracket to drain the gearbox fluid from my auto box is there a filter and if so were can i get one, Ive searched on ebay but cant seem to locate one

This will be difficult to explain but here goes. The zed is running well, it idles fine, is smooth and pulls well on acceleration, but I have this small issue when driving at a constant speed. You feel the car ever so slightly bouncing in the revs, which manifests itself as a small rhythmic vibration in the cab (Steady!). Its most noticeable when you are in a higher gear and often when cruising up an incline. It only happens when the car is in gear, and stops instantly if you take it out of gear and coast, so I know its engine related rather than the drive train or wheels. Its like something isn’t controlling the revs properly and is bouncing on and off, …

My God im in love.

Hi, I have my zed booked in for paint at the end of march. But tonight my painter phones and say I can now do this plasti dip and the do a lovely matte red that would look good on your zed.!! But iv only seen a couple of pictures and im unsure of how it would affect say resale etc. It is basically a liquid wrap, looks quite cool and he has offeres to do it for fre as long as I buy the supplys at 300 quid!! So whats everyones thoughts?? I would imagine most people on here will say dont do it but I could be surprised!?!

Hey Guys, My zed's got a spare tiny front number plate, what are the regulations in the uk regarding this matter. Would it e legal for me to use this instead of my full size number plate? Its white with black normal font! Cheers!

So I saw this and thought hmm, if I got it cheap then I would haven't to spend the next two years welding my sills, I could combine two NA's and create one perfect one, I'd also have plenty of spares - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251232138498?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 I've mailed the guy asking about the condition of the sills and he replied "The sills look average in my opinion". So I've responded asking some questions and if it would be ok to view it, jack it up and prod... I just wondered if anyone knew anything about it as I see its been re-listed once, but also receiving no bids (probably as they guy has only 2 feedb…

Has anyone used torque exhaust in Enfield

Anyone around Merseyside that could possible have a look at this for me to see if its actually worth buying. I know its got a missfire, but was hoping someone who knows what they are doing can take a look to see if its a ****ed cylinder or something easily repairable. I'm not to bothered about the body work as I would probably pull the engine out for my zed anyway. EBay item number 261172625536.

Hey Guys, Bought a zx off a fellow member but its started to develop a certain issue. While driving it is fine but sometimes almost can smell like something is burning, however once i stop smoke starts to rise from under the bonnet or under the car(no a massive amount but noticeable, smells like oil) . Had a look underneath and the engine and front bits look very greasy, could it be a oil leak? Hicas light has come up during driving too but its just had the hicas pipes replaced and previous leak fixed at zed world two months back and it had a full check up! . :confused1: So what could be the probable cause? Any advice would be great! Will try and …

Not just yet but am starting to look at wheels again. Tempted by Rota GTR-D's. A few questions; what width can you get away with at the front and back without the risk of the tyres/wheels catching. What offset? I am wanting a big dish at the back, I assume the lower the offset the bigger the dish? Thanks, Dan

Hi Guys, For the last several thousand miles my car smokes blue out of the nearside exhaust. Only when sat idling after 3-5 mins. I have replaced the PCV and still have the smoke. My next step is to change the turbo on that side. What turbo is the replacement? Will I be able to use both the original flanges? What am I searching for? Garrett TB? T25? T2? Thanks, Dan
