For the technical minded folk out there remind me the reasons that the hicas light comes on while driving? Checked oil level and is fine. Plus this is on a 95+ zed with electric rear hicas

I have a toad and want to add a couple of features like total closure, do you have the instructions Lee?

Hi peeps, There are a lot of people saying I can, then there are another saying I can't... I just bought a Hawk HA-280PRO and wondered how you would wire it into my HKS turbo timer...? Also, how do I take the panels off to get to the door switches?? Thanks, Ant

Just a public thanks to Andy who last week bought a spare ptu round for me to try and sort my hesitation out. After a bit of fiddling and cleaning, all seems well. Cheers mate.

Wondered if there are any recommended things to do once your front bumper and wings are off??

Can anyone tell me is this possible to do?Does the VG30DETT engine will work without turbos just with a straight exhaust manifold from non turbo engine. Does all manifold fitments will go on turbo engine?

hey folks before i start i know this is not good but how bad i dont know gear box crunches in race mode from 4th to 5th i can control this by just letting the revs come back down to say about 4k but still if your in a rush gear change at 5k from 4th to 5th should be smooth eh , ?

Well, I think my starter motor may be on the way out. Takes several turns of the key to get any response to start the engine and sounds a bit iffy too. Thinking of sourcing a reconditioned unit rather than risking an old one off eBay etc. Does anyone know a good source of reconditoned units at reasonable prices?

Found out yesterday that my zed and Luke from zcenter zed are going to be run side by side in a 10 page issue about our Zed's! They said it will be in the October issue but will be out in middle of Sept?

Got a strange one here. Someone I know has an auto NA 1991 and he's having a problem with his gearbox. In a nutshell when he starts it up puts it in drive it seems to jump into second gear thus stalling the car. After doing this a couple of times the fault seems to go away for a while Any ideas or is it a new box time for him Thanx Ade.

Hi peeps, Will my 2.5" backbox flanges bolt straight onto the standart 2" pipe on my TT or do I need to get some pipes from the Turbos back?? Bit lost and think I made a booboo just buying the back boxes.... :death:

Hi All, I recently discovered drops of what can only be described as a gooey oil on the driveway under the drivers side front of the car. Took the car to my garage today who examined the area and showed me that the front bush had split and was leaking from it. are these expensive? I know you can get replacement poly bushes but i want to know if it's better to fit these or go for the stock oil filled ones? can anyone send me a link for ebay to a pair of these? Cheers Peter

Does £135.00 sound about right to you guys??

Hi all my girlfriend has a z import twin turbo. But something is flatening the hateful if not moved for three days. Any ideas would be greatfull to solve this problem..:-)

About 08:45am today saw a white zed with 99spec front spoiler waiting at the Glenfrith Way/A50 roundabout.

So I'm driving back to Surrey from Hammersmith earlier tonight, I've got an Audi behind me on the A3 wanting to break the speed limit. The speed limit is changing up a few miles per hour, so I think, I'll down it a few gears and show this muppet what he's pissing off. As I do so and floor it, the car makes a loud BANG, could swear I saw a load of smoke out of the exhausts and it's running like a bag of spanners, "NO MY TURBOS!". Water temperature and oil pressure are both perfect and below 2000 revs it's smooth as a babies bum, so I try to coast gently up the rest of the A3, hoping to limp it back to Surrey and if need be, take it to my old tuners in Tolworth in the …

Hi, I'm hoping someone could give me some advice. When I bought the car, I had originally planned to use it as a daily drive and bazza was good enough to throw in an extra set of wheels (with a little persuasion :P ) which I had intended to use for the winter. Just over a month later I am smitten and after doing a bit of math it seems daft putting loads of extra miles on her on the tedious drive to work and back, especially given there isn't one opportunity along the way to have a little fun :). With that in mind I've bought myself a little diesel corsa which given our girt is a thirsty lass pays for itself in fuel in 4 months ha and it also means I don't really nee…
