Hi guys, got a set of used alloys which I want to fit to my 2+2 ZX and want to have them refurbished, at the same time I thought I would have them widened to the outside. They are 18" 8J 40 offset for the fronts and 18" 9J 35 offset for the rears. Was wondering if I have them widened by an inch (25mm) to the out sides would the numeric offsets be reduced by what is being added, ie front offset would now be 15mm and the rears 10mm. If so would these now fit without tyres catching? I have stock springs. I am looking at 235 30 18 fronts and 275 35 18 for the rears or maybe 265 for the rears would be better. Thanks for any advice.

was told by aa man who recovered me home that head gasket was gone (he did a sniff test which changed colour) was then told could be heater matrix(heater not working inside damp window wet on inside) .tried a matrix bypass starts fine no oil in water or water in oil but has a leak which comes out around gearbox after running for half hour or so (keeping water topped up) steam comes from back of engine (back right near battery) turned off and could hear bubbling and steam but could't see a thing.anything i can check or is head gasket gone?

Bearing in mind I have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever should i attempt to replace my standard airbox with an aftermarket induction kit? Is it an easy job or should I let someone more competent do the job? Just finishing off my sub enclosures and enjoying working on the car so wondered if i should give it a go. A link to a 'how to' would be good!! :tt2:

The PTU connections seem to go in either socket. Does it matter which way round?

I bought some of this stuff to give my oil burner a de-coke but I see they also do a petrol version. So I was wondering if anybody has put a can through their zed, and if so what were the results?

under the car yesterday as im getting some custom made 3" pipes from the cats to my ZEE exhaust. Looking at the downpipes though they are welded to the cats without a flange in sight? what do you all do when you buy new downpipes and keep the cats in place?

are the interior panels/door cards etc.... black in the black leather interior or dark grey just never seen black 1s wondered if they exist

Well after all the help, I have decided to keep it black, should I keep it the original black or is there a better make/shade. Cheers mark

Just as i was leaving had a black zed pass me 99 spec rear spoiler and dirty :) think the reg was private plate starting RB****

..had the MOT this morning and passed with flying colours!! Really chuffed as had a lot of work done recently and was dreading even getting any advisorys!! Big thanks to Mark/Silverbullet for his recommendation on garage...top bloke and place!

Carbon roof is now completed and i must say it looks awesome!! Had to strip the interior roof trim out so i could remove the ttop centre bar and other trim pieces so i could wrap the all the recess and gutter parts so it looks good when the roof is off. Its good stuff to apply but an art is envolved and patience is a must. Its all in the prep work but very rewarding and ive not seen it done to a zed before so thought id be differnet. Also did the ashtray and both door shuts/supports what you all think?

spotted grey z 2pm today m4 east newport looking sweeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone on here?
