I've always been a fan of red (especially as the car is also red) or shall I go silver, or somet totally different? Could give them a good wire brush and tidy up and keep it standard but whatcha y'all reckon?

right i have seen a few diagrams of fitting for the boost controller. i get that the actuator pipes need to be T'd together and ran to the solenoid but do you T off to both intercooler pipes or just the one and blank of the other pipe that run to the other side of the solenoid?!?!?! i would have thought being a twin setup it would have to be T'd to both...... im totally confused with this

Looking at buying some 1989-1990 original clothe seat covers from the US, will they fit JDM seats of the same year. Thinking about it, they could be from the earlier version. cheers Paul

Afternoon guys, Started my zed up this afternoon to run it for a short while (it's off the road now for winter), just to make sure that there are no problems with it, no leaks or anything, and of course to keep the battery charged...

Vid of smoke below: qve-fNzX5Ww Also, after turning the engine off, for a minute or so after the engine goes off there are some small wisps of smoke that come from the exhaust as well, see other vid: S8dTid5Cif0 Am I just being paranoid or is there anyth…

Just come back from town after shelling out money to get some work done on my daily driver to find that the roof on my car port had come down in the wind and a bloody 10 foot 6x6 timber post laying on my zed!!!

Not been able to have a proper look ad the weather is terrible but I have had it now really, one thing after another, watch this space for a breaking thread!!
