Hi I bought some de-cat pipes they are from andy 300 went to get them fitted and they don't fit they don't bend up to the down pipes or reach them am I supposed to buy longer downpipes for them or are they the wrong pipes. Thanks bjorn

Side lights come on as does full beam but neither side of dipped beam are workin?.... Did all the usual checks of all connections and have checked all the fuses and all seems ok???? Any ideas guys & gals? Cheerz James

im looking at putting somwething like ultralites atec2 in 18 inch in bronze to my zed. my question is does anyone have them or simular in bronze fitted to a red zed so i can get an idea what id be looking at. also how much lower would i need to go to fill the arch?

spotted this a few days back maybe friday, first one ive ever see. and it was driving down the road not hauled up on a drive way.

Who has the best unmodified (or very minor mods)? I want to do a write up for my blog.

after reading the replys on lil stevies thread aobut timers and remote starts (as this was EXACTLY what i was thinking) i was wondering how long to let my z warm up and how long should i cool down for? i have tried to find other threads on this, but get mixed answers. does it make a difference if i have not been heavy on the loud pedal? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ever since buying my zed i liked the idea of a turbo timer. i know its advised to just keep of the boost for the last few miles, but i'm not allways able to plan when i'm going to stop. so for ease (and also i think there a bit cool) i woudn't mind fitting one. however trying to find some one to fit one is not turning out to be too easy. every place i ring either doesn't fit them, or just ask me to ring back at a later date. i wouldn't mind having ago and fitting one myself (just turns out i am an electrician) but to my understanding the imobiliser would have to be bypassed to allow the car to lock and the engine to keep running. so i wasn't to keen on tampering with that…

hey everyone! i really want to get my engine bay looking real purdy, i was pretty impressed with the one on my SR20DE im thinking that making some black covers to cover the left and right sides would be a lot easier than painting and shining all the components underneath heres roughly what im thinking, please excuse the rough drawings, but its just so you get the gist, ide be covering the bits in white, leaving holes for the ps caps etc to poke though, and a few vents for cooling what i was wondering is...... has anyone done this before and still has the templates or dimensions etc, or any tips or advice in doing this? Many thanks in adva…

im having a few issues here . at the front on the drivers side the arch is sitting 15mm lower than the passenger side . this is snagging on the wheel in bumps and left hand corners and also very slightly under braking . at the rear end the passenger side is sitting 15 mm lower than the drivers side . so opposite corners front driver and rear passenger are both 15mm lower than other side . ive had a really good check underneath around all the links and bushes and the only one which looks like it needs changing now is the front stabilizer bar bush (drivers side) there is still a bit of give in all four corners so i dont think any of the shocks are siezed . any ad…

Hi everyone Is anyone else of the opinion of I wish my sidelights matched my HID's? well.. I was, I hated that my little sidelights (hidden in the foglight housing) were a dull orange when my main beams were so white! So whilst in my local maplins I saw, in a lowered price rack, a group of LEDs which were ready wired for use within a car, you can just drill a hole in where ever your putting it and it locks in, which was quick, easy and as they were only £3 a box, cheap too! What do you think? Cheers Sky

Guy,s, I will be getting my new wheels soon, they are 8.5 x 18 front and 9.5 x 18 rear. Question , i have standard callipers all round and ebc slotted and grooved discs, will i need spacers to clear the brakes ? Mine is a 1990 tt jap import. Cheerz Chris

Hey Dave, got your note, thanks! Just got back from camping last night. Was funny, a few of us were in Pwllheli yesterday and my friend had just popped off somewhere and came back and told me he'd just seen a black Zed! And from his description I said I bet that'll be Car.mad from the forum, so when we got back to the car I was like yep, think I was probably right! You didn't see me driving around anywhere else on the peninsula did you? I was rather ashamed at the state of the car, was hoping to have finished polishing the wheels but I'd already eaten 2 days into my holiday doing them and thought stuff it I'm going on holiday! Reckon I've got about another days worth…

sounds like a daft question, but has anyone bought this for the front? If so, does it come in a jiffy bag on a card kinda thing, or in a box? Just wondering as i have ordered a set, but just wondering if it will fit through the letterbox! I put my dad's address by mistake, so don't want to miss them arriving if no-one in...

I have a major oil leak from the crank seal. From visual checking it seems its coming from where the gear box meets the engine at the bell housing. This was probably due to me putting in an automatic line controller for the automatic gear box.. Where do I go to fix this? Anyone in London or Greater London that can advice where I can go to fix it or help? :confused1::confused1::confused1:
