Right, lets say you will be shocked with this one!! The worst get even worse. Things got messy!!! So couple of weeks we went down to pick my car and parts up. Took about 3 hours to get there then a further about 3 hours to load the van up of parts. We totally filled a big Transit van full of my parts. All was good up until this point. Through out the duration they kept making comments saying i was a fool and left the car for them to finish trying to make me feel bad. They had it for over a year and a half and the engine was out the car and still totally in bits. Sod all had been done. Anyway... So the car was loaded on to a trailer, mos…

Here is a how to light the passenger door switch, i will add more info as i do it

Finally got my suspension sorted today got some driftworks top camber arms and have now set up everything so it drives in a straight line A bit dissapointed with zedworld tho i brought a second hand strut off them in august and it popped last week ive spoken to them 2 times this week to try and get another one but they havnt got back to me was also after some prices for some other parts as well but ive had to get them from ebay! they seem to always be helpful but not this time!

When I took out my old bulbs today to replace them with HIDs, I noticed that they were painted blue. Looking on the net, it seems that they too were filled with Xenon. That's probably why the light was whiteish! They were made by Bosch. What do you know about these, and how good are they? I have to say that although the HIDs are the real deal, my previous bulbs were not bad either and the light was white rather than yellow. Visibility was also good, and not what everyone else complains about.

Always something goes wrong when you want to take advantage of the weather. Ive got a spark but no fire in one of the cylinders (the most awkward one to get to). Injector is clicking away fine, coil pack is good, correct voltage at the plug. Is there away of checking that the fuel is being delivered or could it be something else? Cheers, Tony

Taking the advice of Dan of DTA, I decided to replace my existing sidelight bulbs with LEDs to match the HIDs. Definitely a good mod and relatively simple. Below are instructions with photos and I hope that they are useful. Thanks to turbocraigy for his advice. --------------------------------------------------- 1. To get to the side light (which is actually at the front, integrated with the fog lamp), you first need to remove the indicators which are on the side! [ATTACH]51261[/ATTACH] 2. Remove the 2 screws on the right hand side of the light. [ATTACH]51262[/ATTACH] 3. Next, pull out the light and leave it hanging. [ATTACH]51263[/AT…

I bought a 90 SWB TT Auto a few weeks back shes now on the road but running a little rough so have changed the coilpack and injector plugs and now running a bit better went to do an ecu check and found its a mines ecu all badged up, how do i find out what mods are supposed to be running with it or what sort of difference its making to the car apart from eating fuel. cheers Craig

Hi mate, could you possibly email me regarding the sale of your GTR calipers? How much are you looking for them? Cheers. gcknowles@btinternet.com

You passed me in a Metallic green series 3 twin turbo near Banwell Weston Super Mare.The reg was K70NY*.Clean looking car with aftermarket wheels.

Now that I've driven the car with the HIDs, I'm sure I'm dazzling some drivers, and not for the right reasons! The lights are great and definitely very powerful, but is there a thread on here detailing exactly how to adjust headlights? I've had a trawl but can't seem to find anything. Photos would be a bonus.

I have been looking at these for a while, and wondering if anyone in the U.K has ever bothered to make any? when I say 'Any' I mean DECENT attempts, nothing with a strip light stuck inside the tail light housing lol.. The only thing that puts me off rushing out and buying some is A) the cost and B) I might be being picky, but I wish the leds went round the edges of the light cluster a bit better rather than having a flat lit edge... if that makes sense.. Has anyone ever made any on the forum?.. or know of anywhere locally, where I could enquire about some? Any help appreciated CheerZ

The car hasn't been started in over 6 months, I don't intend on starting it for another 3-4 months yet.. but I would like to know are there any precautions or things I should do before I do decide to move it out of the garage... I assume the oil now is all in the sump and the engine would be completely drip dry.. what is the best thing to do before I do decide to start it?.. Oil change?.. Any advice appreciated! Andre

About 2 days ago there was an unusual "rattling" noise coming from the engine bay, however before i was able to investigate it has now gone. But the engine has lost its v6 grumble, sounds much higher pitched and like a ford fiesta :headvswal Doesnt seem to be any change in performance. But it is a really really loud and annoying noise. Its like a whinning noise which directly matches the revs of the engine and listening under the bonnet sounds like its coming from the engine block :-S. Any ideas?

Just wanted to give a massive thanks to Phil for sorting me out with an original gear knob to replace the other thing i had before! Gave it me FOC so i wasn't letting the side down :rofl: Thanks so much Phil, really appreciate it mate :bow:

Just installed both HID lights and new LED side lights. Will post full detailed instructions later with photos but for now, the questions is, are the HIDs supposed to flicker? If yes, for how long, what causes it and how often does this happen? I say this because mine are flickering now and then!

Hi I have a 1992 GZ32 import which has 279x26x54 discs,which are very difficult to come by, What do I need to upgrade to TT brakes, 280x30x54. Thanks Colin.

Gorgeous looking modified "Burnt orange" I think at a golf club in Chingford Beautiful :bow::bow::bow: I'd be suprised if he's not on here but no "Z" club stickers Really stood out :cool::cool:

It's been a while since I've been here so hello everyone. Missing my Z. Owned a 1996 Camaro z28 for 2 years and its no where near as good :( Anyways, I need to submit my immobiliser details to my insurance company. Bob did it for me, I'm sure some of you know him. The problem is that his webpage is no longer there and I need his address I have found this on google: Unit, Evans Easyspace, Deeside Industrial Park, Deeside, CH5 2JZ Is that the place? If so, any idea which unit it was? I don't need to contact him though I just need that address from Chester. Thanks in advance for the help, Al

its down in canvey island, looks a nice uk car with minimal damage, some nice bits including a private plate http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=vehicles/V=bidding/R=3730611

how come this has not been talked about? 180429380330 (ebay)

Hi Everyone, Just a quicky,I have a tt manual,can I replace my engine with an engine from a tt auto without difficulty ? Just wondered if there is any differences apart from the turbos being smaller on the auto ? Any info on this greatly appreciated . Thanks REDZED.

Hey people just trying to get an idea of what people have done about changing their pedals if so at all. Im quite keen on getting a sparco set on there but looking at it they would have to be drilled to mount onto the original pedals for the manual. Ive seen the ones zcentre do too but not sure if these are just clip on covers. Any ideas??? Marty

My HID kit from DTA arrived today (thanks Dan) and assuming it's dry tomorrow, I'll be fitting it. The instructions look OK but pics would have been nice. I'll definitely be taking some tomorrow. Question : Where is the best place to put the ballasts and what should they be secured with?

Hi guys, having a problem with my TT zed :( Today the battery, anti-lock & lights dash lights came on mid journey and now will not disappear. Lost power steering as well but has now returned. Recently fitted HID kit (about a week ago) Tried disconnecting the battery and have checked all fuses under the bonnet but no change. Engine runs and sounds fine, any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated!

Oh, so it's not as bad as those vile mechano alloy wing bic razor blade things. But this looks like it's been hewn from a solid sheed of MDF!
