Does anyone have specific instructions for installing the TC in the zed? I've looked in the FAQ section but the links dead :thumbdown:. I've got the standard guide that came with it but was hoping to save a bit of time having to identify all the connections/wires first. Cheers Dave

What a saga to get an MOT! Took it to the garage last Wednesday for the MOT, called the garage to see how we got on to be told they had to take it to another mot station as it is to low for their ramp and had to go over a pit, called back later to find it failed on some bulbs, handbrake and lower front n/s 'wishbone' Established they meant the bottom arm so got one from baz for Friday, worked my arse off Friday afternoon as finish at 1pm to get it done for a retest, 4.15pm all done and heading back to test, get a call from the garage to say MOT people closed early for bank holiday weekend so wll have to be next week! :thumbdown: Dropped it of following Wed…

Fitted Bomex front bumper and even rarer Border rear spoiler. Rear perspex strip to be fitted as soon as it arrives and also the grill mesh, but have to say im rather pleased with how she's looking now. cheerz Chris

hi all, my brother is doing all the work on my z hes now come round to installing my subframe bushes. hes removed the old ones keeping the metal lip at the bottom of the bush. he now saying he cant fit new ones as there the same size as the gap in the subframe (to tight) also he says theres two little studs that stick out half way down which would tear against the bush if you could force it down?? also what happens with the piece that unattaches from the bush ie it comes in half more or less. any help would be great as i cant wait to hurry up and get my car back on the road:thumbup1:

http://dta-motorsport.com/marktplaats/index.htm Hi Dan or does anyone know if it came to the UK?

well i've just bought a set of the rear subfram bushing collars from the u.s. same as these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270624005429&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT no instructions with them so which way do they fit? i'm guessing the top ones go in with the raised centre (shown in photo) towards the bush and the flat surface to the car body but which way do the bottom ones go in i thought perhaps the way they are shown in the pic but on seeing the collars after they just arrived i'm not so sure

what up homies (lol, its 'street saturday' at my work today) i was wondering if any of the leather restorers you can buy would have any effect on the worn and faded patches of my dark grey leather seats? and if so, could anyone reccomend a good one? its such a shame to have big white patches in them :-( cheers dawgs lol
