we all love the "zed banter" but for your own pleasure and ease we have a really usefull "search" button that holds a minefield of information ranging from changing a bulb to upgrading tubs and more...try it and be amazed:bow:;)

oh know... what do i do..?? i am looking at new turbo's.. 900ish plus g box.. 1300-1500ish hicas joint.. 150 ish only paid 1950 for the car.. am i gonna be better off cutting my losses and selling it? and starting a gain just buying a manual as i do drive cars very hard.. the car is clean... but i don;t know.. i have not got the money to do the turbos and the gearbox.. i might be able to stretch to do the gearbox.. but not both at same time.... and i am on holiday so no chance of any over time in next couple months paypacket :( grrrrrrr

OMG with all my bits just about to go on order I thought I would make a start on removing the engine today. Its a bit of a worry as we drove the thing into the garage, and now we have no idea how long it will take and if we will even be able to get it running again despite having a fantastic set up on the way :( so much can go wrong but at least the block and heads are built!. Right until today I was thinking of getting someone like Jimmer to fit it all, but the only reason I bought this car was as a project car for something to do over the winter so fingers crossed me and my friend can do it all :). I work on MX bikes I used to work in a garage in the ea…

I need to contact the above member as he needs a parcel label for tomorrow!. If anyone has contact with him via mob phone, home phone or any other means, please can you do me a favour. Thanks rich

car has been off the road for way over a year now, wanna get it back on to be honest. did a few jobs on it today. i charged battery and tried to start it, only problem is it was turning over but wouldn't start? (this happened to me the last time i tried to start it but i gave up coz at that point i wasn't in a rush to get it back on the road) Do u think it could be bcoz the fuel could be bad? that fuel has been in tank probably 18 months. or wat other probs u think it cud be? I was told last time PTU could be the problem but I bought a known working series 1 PTU and it made no difference. any input/ ideas welcome

Anybody got or seen a wiring diagram for fitting this alarm system to a Zed?

i have had problems with my autobox since the day i got the car its normally just not changed up gear when hoofing it not it changes as normal just not when hoofing it as before but it seems to be slipping... and quite badly its only in the first 2 gears.. for example going throught first and second its fine .. when hoofing it does not change up.. but if its in 3rd and kicks down it drops down fine.. but then it gets to 4k and instantly jumps round to the red line and slipps very very badly and same in each gear till about 80 when it catches up.... the box was rebuilt last year... is it the end of the box or could it be something easy ????…

Hi guys, I have just brought these for the z, they were advertised as Kakimoto,b......s.to late now to do anything about it, anyone no what they sound like, its a twin pipe cat back system with 5inch tips,just hope its louder than my Mongoose. Cheerz Chris

Well... As some of you know I've had a balance test fail which we believe is the injector. Picked the car up on Wednesday and now I seem to have a massive Oil leak from somewhere, can't pinpoint it yet but more worryingly I have just checked the coolant and found a grey waxy substance around the Rad cap... no sign of anything on the rad cap or on dipstick and the coolant is clear as (no sign of oil) but I know fear the worst... I've had a compression test done recently and all is fine but if the break is between the oil way and a waterway it won't show there... I'm going to try and get a sniff test done but I'm now really worried... I spent 7K on buying the car and so far…

Check it here someone posted a pic of this car recently on here. Wonder how much it'll go for..

Can I run Vacuum lines... ...from the recirc - direct to the balance bar - rather than to the strange swan neck vacuum connector on the passenger side of the plenum? The drivers side goes direct to the balance bar - so I assume the other side should be fine doing the same. No EGR, no PRVR, no AIV, no Carbon canister - so I have nipples spare! :rofl:

Hi guys. I've been offered a good deal for p/x ing my bmw against a 89 auto zed. What do i need to check, specific to an auto? any tests i can do? Things to look for?

As it failed the mot we have been working on it. First it failed on the rear fog, it has had the rear reverse light wired as a fog but it just lights up both reverse lights and not very bright so took it all out and blanked off the top reverse light so its much brighter now and you cant tell its been blanked out so thats one job done. Second was to do a boost leak test, can hear a big leak coming from the passenger side low down, couldnt see it so could be near the turbo?? Worse fail was it has a split on the passenger side inner arch?? not sure how its happened, doesnt look like its been in a crash so not sure if someone has hit something hard and its gone…

It now lives here... Yes Air-Con has been deleted. :rofl: Before you laugh - it works out pretty well - I will just have to pump some sealent around where the cables enter/exit - just in case - but otherwise I tested blasting it with a high pressure washer and it remained dry inside. And I have drilled a new drain hole so that it does not become a spare washer bottle ;-)) Anyone else got any pics of where they moved their fuse box: I know a lot of you hide it under the chrome/carbon Smithy slam panel but.... ;)

Hi all i need some help to put in my delimit chip in cos zedworld did not send me the wiring diagram for it. If any one knows where i can see one on the net or tell me how many thanks

i know there are one or two people on here who have done this job - how easy or difficult was it to do? and where did you relocate it to? reason i ask is because my tyres are actually in contact with the damn thing when theyre pointing slightly to the right :eek:

When my car is turned off it says it has just under 1/2 tanks then when running it goes down to 1/4 tank then when car is turned off it goes back up which should i believe when i fill up from 1/4 when runnnig it takes around 50 quid.. i always go by the lower reading but which one is telling the truth?? cheers

Hi ya peeps A little help i always do my own stereo build etc and am elec engineer so know a fair amount about it all.. my prob is my front speakers are very very very very quiet.. i have connected the amp for the rear and its fine... is there another amp or something for the front?? cheers pete

My car is a JDM car, understand that CC on these tops out at 75. Now I have UK speedo clocks in mine, so should this de-restrict? Or do I need a UK cruise control ECU?

ok guys Clutch has started making a horrid noise when it is Pressed/ Engaged! Sounds as if its juddering like when your about to stall so a loud (can hear it in traffic with windows down) clicking i guess (will try and upload an Audio of it) Now the clutch still Engages/Dis-engages fine and good when changing gears so its not Master or Slave cylinder and if i apply a touch of pressure to the clutch pedal (not even 10% pressed) the noise starts and it also will 'click' faster if im in Neutral, clutch pressed and i touch the Accelerator pedal. So my 1st thought was its the Clutch Release bearing (Also called Thrust bearing IIRC) but im not sure. Cause of this is…

....in the glove box still in its wrapper.. cute.

going to do a boost/leak check, any advice on max pressure for this , dont want do any damage, thanks guys . any tips on your [learnt] by you guys that have carried this test

This is all from Kyle Puckett in the US I am just in the process of confirming the order and hope to pay for it all next week :cry: I am just asking about putting a 96 Gearbox on and if his engines are OK with NOS... so that might also go on but if hes not keen on NOS I will leave it. Can you tell me is there anything missing I will need?? or anything you would change. Its exciting!!!
