Put my car in to Jamie at evotune in Durham. As the zed says he is an evo specialist but having all sorts of problems getting the suspension and geometry set up so thought why not give him a call and ask.. Fantastic service and car is running superb... Got loads of useful info from him as well about the Dyno, mapping, engine builds etc... For the Northern Guys, definately worth a call if you need anything doing... Hes own evo is something special as well, race car with about £120K in it so far... Top Guy...

When I have the windows down and the targas off, When I shut the drivers side door it sounds awful!! a bit like putting the lid on an old style steel dustbin. Embarrassing when people are about, sounds cr*p. Is there a fix? Seems a lot better when the window is fully closed though?

Anyone ever considered doing this to their car?

When I take the zed to a car wash, I keep getting wet lol. I've stuff the ends of the rubber trim down properly, checked the targa drains but the water still comes in down the edge of the window. I'm wondering, could the windows not be sitting against the rubber right for some reason? I doubt it matters but I don't have the top door catches on my zed. Any ideas on fixing it?

Hi, I recently changed oil cooler for auto gearbox and would like to know how to check oil level and how to top it up? Also - which oil type should i use for my gearbox?

Ha, not that kind of paint. Normally I paint using oil but fancied a change and tried acrylic. The bike I painted for a mate. Excuse image quality as they were taken on my phone.

Well i have just been reading through vijay's thread (which is now closed) and I must admit I was very surprised it was zedworld you had the problem with. I have spoken to jeff on the phone a few times and he has always been very helpful and has given me free advice. There is generally never a bad word to say about the customer service at zedworld and most people post up how good and friendly the team at zedworld are. Because of these posts in the past by many happy customers im intending to get my car booked in with jeff to have a once over. I appriacte you have had a bad experance and can understand your fustration. Mods i really dont see why you close these…

I bought my TT Zed off a club member about 1 and half years ago and have enjoyed it almost daily. I have had the odd niggle but for a 21 year old car it has been great. It is quick but I would like to get a bit more reliable power out of it. This always happens with me and new cars! It has been modified a little (spec below) but I am after some advice as to how best to spend some cash on increasing the performance but maitaining the reliability? I understand that the skys the limit but I would probably be comfortable spending 2/3k.... Also what sort of power figures should I be getting at the moment? Its running about 1 bar pressure. ENGINE: K&N…

Hi Rob, Just spoke with Jimmer, think there is a prob with my Hicas. or something at the rear of the car. He advised a good option, would be to get you an experience TT owner, to take the car for a spin, and let me know if it is right or if something is defo wrong, before getting him down from Bristol to check it out. If you could get back to me, arrange something that would be highly appreciated. you can email me HERE Cheers Ryan
