Haha, it was about 8pm in mid december, i was going down the a40 towards hanger lane from staples corner, just passing the wembley exits. I was in the middle lane having a relaxing drive doing a steady 50mph on the dot. There was a car in front so i was just staying behind him with plenty of distance. A chav corsa was right up my arse from kingsbury all the way up to wembley, literally only 3 or 4 inches away from my back and the road was empty. As i was watching them in my rear view, i also noticed a black bmw 5 series behind them although i didnt think anything of it at the time. So finally i had enough, i dropped to 2nd and blitzzed into the outside lane, overtook…

Looking goood mate and ur interior is classy. I was in the white zed, bloody traffic everywhere I might as well have stayed on the a40. Vic

Went off to local scappies to get a new ciggie lighter for my girlfriends micra. After robbing a like new one, having a nose around. At the back of the yard there was a ford maverick, look inside and hey presto both interior chrome door handles in perfect condition. even better some kind sole had removed the door panels. so 2 mins later and they are mine. go upto the pay kiosk, expecting to pay £20+, and the girl says call it a fiver. £5 for a complete pair of chrome handles in perfect conditon. Bargain. Now got to chat with them about a complete set of 350z brembos, front and back with pads and new disks of an 09 350z. are these a direct fit??

Anyone who has driven their zed and had some fun will have most likely not only been rewarded with a thrilling ride but also with that unmistakable odour of burning hot oil, either whilst driving or just after parking up. No really mystery that in most cases it leaking outer cam covers dropping oil from the rear corners onto the turbo`s or manifolds on non turbo`s. So stripping out the relevant parts to get to the pesky covers and re-seal them is fairly straight forward but its is essential to be clean and safe, keep all parts in order and cover all intake holes whilst the plenum is off so nothing can drop in there. The two inner covers have quite chunky ru…

So the countdown to the zedworld "new year" bash is here remember Saturday 5th February open from 10.00 to remind all there will be food and refreshments the whole day, plenty of close parking and plenty of zed chat and a chance to meet other zed owners and look at some serious zed metal! oh and remember to have your pound coins ready for the raffle that all the proceeds go to Great Ormond Street Children's hospital It would be really helpful to get the attendance list started here so we we know how many to cater for etc. add any others coming with you too, so have a safe journey and see you then.

Ok guyz.... please bare with me...... I have det above 16 PSI with all the upgrades internally and externally ( pls check my rides, as many things to list). I believe this is either fuel related or air related, after messaging JD. So...... Would this be something i require to eliminate det with the mods I have?? FPR is really not my tech thang....... Cheerz people.... Alz.

Just fixed my zed and its now 100% since the blown plenum gasket i had; So, As you do i took her out for a spin 30 min ago; must say the power now was simple amazing and the roar from the engine was bliss ! Heading up the A76 towards prestwick doing about 85 i overtake a few cars on the left lane which i guess was doing about 65'ish and just as i start to over take the first car - F * L * A * S * H From the rear quarter driver side somebody flashed me. Now; what i would like to know was this a traffic cop type flash or could it be just the average joe taking a nice pic as i flew past ? I phoned my brother and he seems to thing i …

Looking for some opinions on this - http://www.americantechnology.co.uk/engine-restorer--lubricant-1-c.asp I've already done the usual Google searching but was hoping somebody had 1st hand experience using it!

Hi guys, The search is on for parts for the new car. Am I correct in saying that Evo rear calipers fit on no problems?? I can find loads on fronts but not rear. Cheers guys, Rob

I've had a look around my usual sources of guides but no joy! Is there a guide on removing/replacing the starter motor on a TT Manual Zed? I've been getting a bit of a grinding noise now and agan and I need to rule out the actual motor and hope it's not flywheel related :/ Any help would be appreciated as always :)

is there a difference between an na bmc to a TT bmc?

Hi All, Today I got my car back on the road after about 6 six weeks - I replaced the diff unit myself. I am not a mechanic at all but can read and listen to help and advice so I was really pleased when I got swapped the diff, changed the oil and got the car sorted again. After about 12 hours of swearing, getting shit in my eyes and bleeding knuckles it was such a laugh to drive it again!! I enjoy these cars and think this is what it's all about. so thanks all for your help again!!

over Christmas my dials started acting up, rev counter stopped working then the speedo stoped working then all the lights came on then few days later it all gave up and the car wouldn't start. rang an auto electrician who came and told me there was a "+" missing from the dials to the fuse box which caused all the faults so he bypassed the dials and went from the batt to the fuse box, car started but the dials were still poorly. as of right now nothing works except... -a very dim battery light is always on -the blue high beam dash light works -fuel gauge works -dimable dash/dial illumination lights so! what do i need to buy? new dials? is this a…

You were heading towards the Hyndford Bridge and you passed me doing, I reckon, about 7mpg.

Hi there Guys, Quick question, will a Mongoose exhaust that was fitted to my flood damaged car be okay to use on another car? Goes without saying it will cleaned and dried before fitting. Cheers, Rob.

Hi guys, anybody on here near Reading (rg10) who installs stereos for a living, or is competent with this kind of thing? Got a new amp and two subs I need wiring in in my slicktop. Also might need a noise suppresor?!? Not looking for a freebie, will pay the going rate. Just thought I'd keep it in the club. Thanks in advance, Daffy.
