And I am too excited. Only been without the old girl for 2 weeks, but can't wait to see her all freshened up. The suns out too:rockon:

Took the Zed in for her MOT today and came away with another 12 month cert :D She would have failed on emmissions but as she's only done 150 miles since last year's test, the tester gave her the benefit of the doubt ("she needs a good blast to clear her out") Went to fill her up at my local Shell afterwards, and got an unexpected compliment from a biker on the forecourt - "fine example, don't see many that good any more". Altogether I'm chuffed - I will drive her more this year! CheerZ Steve :)

A little bit of background, which can be skipped - Since I bought my Zed I've had a big switch on the side of the headlight pod for sidelights / headlights. Apparently the normal turn switch broke and the lights were wired to into this great ugly industrial sized switch inserted into the side of the pod. Later I discovered the lights had been rewired directly from battery, from what I can work out it bypasses the normal relay. I have no permanent main beam on pushing the stalk forward, only 'flash' main beam. Fog lights don't work either. I thought about playing around with the original wiring, to restore it, but discovered after tracing the wiring back from t…

After seeing Boldy,s inner wings:wub: i would like to get mine un cluttered, not going the full hog like Alan,s [would love to] but just get rid of some useless bitz like hicas actuator etc. Is there any hints on what i could remove, and what i need to delete the hicas? Looked in the search but minimal amount of info. Dave

As title are they better then the oe pipes? Purchased my car back as most will know and Dave added a set of hardpipes with red hoses and to be honest they look out of place under my bonnet! If the hard pipes are a better bet does any body know where i could purchase some black hoses to replace the red ones, or any body want to swap:whistling:

Do you need to swap the whole subframe over too? Just been reading about it on the Z1 site and it looks like you do, I always thought it was just a case of swapping the diff over?! I'd like to keep my TT subframe if poss as its all polybushed up, but if it needs to go then furry muff lol :confused1:

Anyone got any ideas, oh by the way doing manual conversion but not fitting the clutch booster pipework hense why i need the single line. Cheers Craig

not sure if this is a repost or one of those reposts 50 times but heres a zed at 2:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I37FbHZeKlo

What should I get from the lover??? I'd love to be able to spray stuff but I wouldn't know what to buy... Links if possible :-)

Right having just done a manual conversion i have a HEL braided clutch hose, but, there is no way of getting it to fit the clutch master cylinder without some sort of adaptor. I have cut down a long banjo pipe to get it to fit, but i want the right part, what have you guys used and where to get. Many thanks Graham

Guess how much I have just aquired all this for...... All japspeed...

i bet there is loads of us with shite loads to do before jae and wondering will we get it all done

after 7 hrs work plumbing this thing in, it sort of works. everything lights up, it counts down when i switch engine off but the engine dosent continue to run. the electrics stay on i.e the clock and aircon pod show the numbers and the timer counts down then all power switches off. obviously the whole idea is for the engine to continue to run any ideas what ive done wrong?

About a week and a half ago my motor developed cold running issues! Starts first time but runs like older cars do without the choke out!! Will stall sometimes but generally keeps idling, just. Runs poorly until up to temperature then appears to be pretty normal. While cold, she runs poorly but responds better when accelerating harder, though sometimes farts a bit getting there lol! Any clues and advise gratefully received.

looked like a dark grey j reg. Very nice from what I could see thru the rain

Whilst respraying the zed, i decided to sort out my wheels... £20 polishing kit off ebay has worked wonders!! What sealant do i need to use to seal the split rims though??

Hello everybody! Been reading this forum for some time, now time for my first question. I have been looking for a big brake kit, Stoptech and Hispec Monster 6 but also considering cheaper options such as K-Sport and D2. Been e-mailing with Hispec and Stoptech and they have been helpful and most likely I am going to choose between these two. So, any user experiences from Hispec Monster users? Stoptechs reputation as a good manufacturer is pretty obvious? - Tuomo
