gonna need to move my breaker soon but wanted to take the suspension off, anyone know if it will sit on bump stops or anything or will i need to put something back on it?? cheers craig

The time clock in my car has a mind of it's own and works sometimes and not others, isn't there someone on here that can repair them?.......:devil2:

hi all, couple of questions regarding the turbo's, ive got a twin turbo with manual transmission and was wondering what pressure should the turbo dial be showing at full boost as mine sits just a fraction over half way which i assume if about 8psi if the total dial is 14, engine seems totaly standard apart from a exhaust upgrade.................... also need some help on gaining some bhp, looking at dump valves and induction kits but to be honest i dont know where to start... all help is greatly received :)

i just thought i would start to post some picky's. well i brought my zed about 12months ago and had some fun in it, but the body work was rotten. so i brought a shell of daz and thanks to him its a good shell. i have got the change every last nut and bolt over from 1 zed to the other. GOOD FUN! so her r a few pictures of my progress. the new shell when i collected it. [ATTACH]58194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]58195[/ATTACH] started work on it asap and i removed the aerial [ATTACH]58196[/ATTACH] repaired the rear arch as it had a bit of rot on it. [ATTACH]58197[/ATTACH] smoothed if the boot. [ATTACH]58198[/ATTACH]

I'm thinking of installing remote central locking and just wondering where is best to tie into; to trigger doors open and doors close?

Air box was a pain to get out, bolted down everywhere, even to the splash shield. Old filters were nasty, clogged up with all kinds of things - New filter and adaptor - Tight fit - Any idea what these are? Found them in the bottom right side of the bumper - My Zed is a lot more responsive now, feeling good! :)

Changing from a Veilside front end to a 89 spec front end and after lining everything up there is a massive gap between the front end and the vented nose cone thing :/ Is there different sizes in these I'm guessing?

On Behalf of the Club I just want to thank Jeff for holding his Zedworld Bash today. I have reviewed the various photos from the Members, and the day looked to be a success with a good turn out. Please join us in thanking Jeff, if you were able to make it. he's a credit to this Club, and we are lucky to have him around. TOP MAN Jeff. :bow: :bow: Regards KIM

just on the off chance After seeing some of the rear lights at the zedworld bash today, i really like the look of some of the crystal style rear lights, Would anyone be interested in swapping a set of smoked ones like in the link below for my genuine 99 spec ones. (pics in my rides) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380312801427&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT Would usually just sell mine but if i can swap then it would be easier for me until I find another decent job. cheers craig

Is there a " how to" remove and replace these please?.

In the wet weather before the heavy snow the zed started hesitating and was low on power, i had just got a van for nowt off a mate and with all the people getting wet air-filters i just put it down to that and took it off the road for the winter, this afternoon i put a battery back on and fired it up, after pulling away i noticed the total lack of power again and turned back around, back home i pulled the nose panel off and checked the air filter, it was bone dry, checked the maf connection and terminals, all fine, and to eliminate the air filter from the list of possible problems i drove it up the street with the air filter off, still no power and holding back. So..…

If i wanted to add more powerful tubo's (more turbo pressure to engine) - will my standart Head gasket / Pistons / Engine bearings will cope or do i need to get them changed to something more stronger...? Thank's in advance

Not really travelled around that area but wouldnt mind some snaps whilst down there. Anyone know of any decent places? :cool2:

I'm sure I'm not the only one that struggles getting them back on. :pinch: Is there a technique to doing it? I can never seem to get it hooked over the top at the front and the back at the same time until I start getting pissed off with it and violent lol... but I may benefit from knowing the trick of the trade. Its one of my most hated Z jobs even after owning 6 of them! Need to refit my passenger side door card tomorrow morning before jetting off to zedworld. :clap:

So back home now and the kitchen is in full swing with Lynda at the helm as it were, loads of sausages in onion gravy in the oven and minted lamb in the slow cookers all on super low to cook over night and then transport to the workshop early doors. Now if you was not at the last bash you will not of s…

The electric windows seem to be a rather sore point on my zed - the previous owner had issues for ages with them. I was told that an auto electrician checked the amp and that was ok, but the drivers switch itself was shorting so it kept blowing amps. I changed the drivers switch and still no joy, but today when I was at shell, the mrs opened the window to speak to me... so the passenger window went down, but now wont go up!! I've tried the passenger switch off my breaker but still no joy. At the mo the passenger window is wide open and the weather is looking sh!t!!! any ideas?!?! HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP :pinch:
