You car you are breaking. What is the spoiler you have moulded in to the rear tailgate... I really like it. Subtle and nearly stock looking.

Who is the nearest to worthing with a consult laptop to check my car , big pretty please ,:helpsmilie:

WTF...!!??! i just tried to get an insurance quote for a non-turbo Zed i was thinking of buying, and the insurance quote was double what i pay for my twin turbo??? i own a 1990 jap spec TT auto,im 21 and i pay 1500 for its insurance, after someone stole my last Zed... but though i know ill get a non turbo fairly cheap to buy, cheaper to run as a daily drive, thought it would be cheaper to insure... but they want just under 4K to insure it...!!! and that was the cheapest... how the hell am i more likely to crash / cause an accident in a manual n/a with 230bhp, then in an auto TT with declared 350bhp...... nothing else has changed, they both have …

Hi, I recently blew the 10amp stereo fuse and when changing i decided to check all the other fuses for blow outs. One that confuses me is a 3amp thats at the top right of the fuse box which was also blown ! i've searched threw the forums and all the translations show the place as empty and mine has a 3amp in it and is clearly marked on the diagram in japanese. I've got a series 4 - 1996 tt. any ideas ?

Paying with hard earned cash for lazy work is insulting to the person paying but some garages seem to consistently get away with it. Case in point, a zed in at the moment having had a replacement engine recently at a garage that advertises on ebay. Following the fitting and collection the car broke down ( over heated ) on the return journey and so went back for more work. The car was collected again and ran but in the loosest of terms, as the car was used more it got worse, the owner had another garage look at it and they found many air and boost leaks, correcting as many as they could find the engine ran much better. But oil and steering leaks made …

Hi Everyone, Just thought i`d write up and say that the Z has just gone and when it went up the road I just cried my eyes out still feel sad now.:crying: Little REDZED

My handbrake handle is tatty but how is it removed please? I have slid off the steel retainer at the button end but nothing else moves :cursing: Do I need to get a complete assembly? What bits come apart? There is one near me on a scrapper, the depress button as a slight gash in it so will not do, but the handle you grip is fine on it, so I am hoping to make a good one from the two :confused1:

hi guys has anyone got the specs of the twin turbo import please? i want to know weight and standard factory horse power?

Ok so assuming you do have a …

Hi All, Anyone know a good place for cheap but good brake pads please. They are for my UK TT Auto 1992. TIA, CT.

Just remembered my mot was due soon,checked and its a couple of days its up. I'm offto work tomorrow so I popped into the garage today to ask to get me in, been asked to take it back about 2. I'm fairly confident it will pass tho to be honest. On my way to collect my 99 front bumper from the spray shop now. Fingers crossed. Craig.

What colour would this have been on a black car. Mine was missing when i bought it but i am putting one back on

my relay for the sub fan is missing. can another relay be used in this location ? ive done a search for this but not really turned up any answers . from old posts it does seem like these are missing off a few cars , i was wondering whether there might be a reason / issue for having them removed . if anybody has one of these lying around i would be very gratefull of it . cheers andy

Evening all, anyone on here with Ultralites? I'm waiting for a set being delivered and I can't find the centrebore listed anywhere, anybody on here know what they are? I would guess 73? Just trying to find out so that I can get spigot rings ordered before the wheels arrive. Cheers

i have decided to go down the auto to manual conversion - are there things to check on a manual gearbox to ensure that it is a desent box - i realise that it would mostly be luck of the draw but i would like this to be the last box if poss (misses will go mental) dave

just come back off holidays with my zed and although its an na auto was a pleasure to have with the weather as it was done over 450 miles with no issues what so ever apart from camarthensire constabulary calling into the pub asking me to change my number plate back to one they can read[day 2] a van hittin my back bumper in shop car park[day5] cracking my front bumper on raised manhole[day10] and some tipper driving gentleman launchin a stone into my windscreen [day 12] so its left me busy but fair play it perfomed well long live the zed:

Where do i start upping the power? More boost...Is this as easy as the 200sx? A boost controller Walbro 255? Front mount? Decat What am i looking at here? 400bhp? Sorry if i sound dump, im new to the zed!!

hi to all can some one help me as i am after rear archs and sills for my 300. if any one can help, i really want to put the car on the road. i will post some pictures when i start it. i have heard that there is some one on this site that makes pattern parts?????????????????????????????????????????

I really like it, took some fettling, including the part that is circled in one of the photos, had to cut down and fibreglass/fill the outside legs, but it does look good, and had to tack weld a new bracket on the wiper motor, but i'm chuffed, looks tasty in the flesh, not OTT... all comments welcome! Just need a brake light now.... (spoiler only cost 5 quid off ebay, and had enough paint left to spray it my self too...) I will be replacing the rubbers where it meets the boot with yellow rubber when i find some, using some of my niece's bike innertube at the mo, haha.... the exercise will do her good :)

Went through the MOT (German equivalent ) today with no real problems, started the car to drive back home and it wasn´´t running right at all. Sounded and felt a little like when one of my injectors died recently, just not so drastic. alot of vibration on the gear stick and the car is only slightly sounding like a tractor, hesitates when accelerating from idle but runs fine when going over 2500 rpm although when you accelerate you can feel the power isn´t there although boost gauge shows full boost. Could this be another injector on it´´s way out or is there something else I can check ( when the engine cools down ) that might cause these symptoms. As always. any…

...sailed through! :biggrin: That's almost my first year of Zed ownership under my belt, and another year to look forward to! The only thing the guy mentioned was that the suspension was a bit soft. He said the shocks and springs were in good condition, but just that the car drove a bit 'soft' which is something that I've noticed recently also. I had the car up on axle stands for about ten days a few months ago while I refurbed the brakes, ever since then the suspension has been a bit wallowy and floaty, anyone have any idea why this might be? I think it may be a perfect excuse for me to get some coilovers! :whistling:
