If the air con is removed, is there a way to stop the revs changing when it thinks the air con is on? Is it just a case of unplugging the iav or aac valve? (or whichever it is).... I have no belt on it as it snapped, will be removing the lot in the future as it needs re-gassing anyways... Cheers, Tudor...

Just seen a nice blue z import, reg i think was gtv at 7.45pm tonight on daresbury expressway heading towards widnes,i was the one in the marano along side you staring at you,never see any zeds in runcorn was you just driving through?

Power steering stopped working so being a prat I assumed it was he pump so replaced it.... It's still not working :( what else could it be?? It's a 92 imports manual NA converted to TT.. It failed whilst under heavy load at a drift event /:

Im looking forward to getting my zed back tomorrow after 2 weeks at the spray shop, oem spoiler gone and nice new fibreglass one fitted:clap:

hi can anybody help, i need to beg or borrow a pressure gauge to enable me to set the upper boost limit on my ebc,or can anybody point me in the right direction to buy one, ( dont care what it looks like as long as i can connect it using a bit of silicon hose and read it in the cabin as a temporary measure , ta sayers

Does anybody have any close up pics of how the DW rear lower arms are fitted. I think I've got it but wouldn't mind a second opinion The kit comes with a seperate 'pin' for the zed, which is slightly shorter than the other (for S13 I believe?) Anyway this is how I've fitted it: Shorter pin with thicker thread (large nut) at the bottom/thinner thread (smaller nut) at the top

just done my quotes and cheapest so far is adrian flux at £545 any 1 recommened any others to try

after taking the car off the road for the winter..the last couple of days of proper driving iv got a sever problem with my brakes...i thought at first it could be the calipers..but could it be the master cylinder causing the pistons failing to retract?..or is it maybe as simple as a siezed caliper.. symptoms are braking from 60+ causing severe judder(i know its not warped discs because on a hill the car doesnt roll back or forward when the brake is released+ theyr only 5k yo) also if i use engine braking rather than braking i dont get the judder when i do use the brake..if that makes scence.. thanks

I'm looking to buy new wheels for my '93 UK TT whilst re-using my current Goodyear F1 Eagles, 245/40ZR18 on the front and 275/35ZR18 on the rear. My current wheels are Devil 147's - 8" front and 9" rear, both ET35. Most of the deep dish wheels that I'm looking at are 8.5" and 9.5".....will my current Goodyear tyres fit these slightly wider wheels? :huh: Is there an online resource that gives you said information? Thanks - Andy

Im looking in to buying the rest of my exhaust system...Can any of you direct me in the right direction in the uk or cheaper sites in the states? Im after the mid section to back boxes. Not sure if to go for X pipe or just straight though with twin exits either side. Thanks Dan

Hi guys noob here Might sound a really stupid question but why is there a gap below the tail gate between the two rubbers that attach to the lip of the car. Also how do I subsribe? Thanks Paul

For everyone`s information his thread about a clutch unit sale gone wrong is not about ZEDWORLD as assumed by some but most likely about a company of similar name (?), we do not source our clutches from the US we do not charge import tax, we do not take 3 weeks to supply parts and we do not text customers with excuses! I did place some pictures of of clutch units in his previous thread and I think this is where the mistake has been made, we are not in any way part of this deal, if we had of been he would of had free delivery as he lives close to Jamie.

does anybody have a set of Image wheels on their zed? I've been hunting high and low for some rims and i think Image have a style that will work well. Any pics, feedback etc? The UK seems to be crap for wheels. I quite fancy a set of Work VS XX or Advan Siena Gen IIs but they aint easy to find.

Thought u guys might be intersted in this ... This was my winter project 2011 :) my bro in law bought it as a donor car for his and i bought the remains of him .. I thought i would get away with it being a cheap build , un be known to me the cost of parts for these bloody things it ended up owing me a fortune so had to let it go 90% finished :( lovely car though :) hope you guys like it .. Got a feeling the guy who bought it will take it to the nxt level :)

To be honest I dont really think I am dealing with mega-cowboys but this is a tale of woe. It was Feb 13TH 2012 and I ring them up hoping to find the illusive part. They say they can help. It was explained it would take 3 weeks to be despatched cos it was being sourced from another country. I said OK ( I felt I was running out of options) They explained how they would take the card details to hold on to so the did not end up with this part if I were to backout. They explained a handling charge of about £10. it was really £17. I place the order to find I have too add on the tax, another £35. They took the money immediately. - That is not what they said the…

Right then, as I need to disconnect some air con pipes to remove the cooling unit under the dash I'm going to remove everything else hopefully including the compressor tomorrow. Is there anything I need to know before cracking on with it? Cheers

Hi guys, I'm replacing the engine loom so I've removed the glovebox and need to remove the above part to get easy access to the loom retaining bracket on the bulkhead. Looking at the service manual I need to undo 2 pipes that run into the back of the cooling unit, I'm assuming I will need to drain the system, where is the drain point on the car? I will be deleting the air con anyway so I'm assuming I won't have to put the pipes or the cooling unit back after the loom.

Heard the engine has a coolent drain plug somewhere I'm about to give my car a nice new fresh set of coolant and would like to empty the block so any help as soon as possible would be most appreciated
