Sisters getting married tomorrow and thought I'd snap the zed in front of airth castle !

wheels have been off the car now for about 3 weeks car is on axle stands and im painting all around the wheel arches all suspension etc and going to start the rest of the underneath next week,back to the wheels 120 bolts later and about a days work finally got the centres out from the main rim ,,the 5 spoke section has been bead blasted and now today dropped them off for powder coating in red bull blue,,the rims have been de-anodised and polished to a mirror finish ,and dropped the rear of the rims off today to be painted aswell ,so hopefully next week spend a day putting them back together and then get the tyres back on ,,

Cant make out how fast this is going?:w00t:

I a turbo change a engine out job or can you do it with it in? Thanks Mark

Fog lights..... I bust the back mines, so got a new one (thanks ck300,will sort that paypal out!) but how on earth do I get the wires in without disconecting from the plugs? I don't think they all unclip as only the white wire Has male and female crimps. So am I being stupid and missing something without having to cut and try obtain new male and female crimps to wire back up, I don't do soldering etc so not wanting to remove from the plugd whatsoever.

when driving along and you come to a roundabout the car cuts out,but it starts again but cuts out.sometimes when you start it up it will tick over for 5secs and then cuts out.other times it doesnt miss a beat.any help would be helpful as thinking of selling car because they have so many probs

saw this at tesco in collington you were just going in as i was coming out in my van looked really really nice iv got to say.

I have a question (or two). I have a very expensive Greddy 3 row HG FMIC that has sat in my hallway for over a year! I haven't fitted it yet because I can't make my mind up on a sutable bumper. I like the 99 spec bumper but it looks like only the top row of the intercooler will recieve and air flow therefore providing uneven charge temps. Is this just theorising rubbish? Am I better off going for SMIC's with a 99 spec bumper? The thing is - my car now sits quite low which I love but it kind of rules out deep bumpers and fibre glass bumpers. Help!!!!! Andy
