October 21, 200618 yr As Greg says mate, go with the traction control with you being an auto, pretty much every winter we hear someone in an auto has lost it on a bend or roundabout during kickdown. You can always get suspension mods later on down the line ;) smithy
October 22, 200618 yr Author thanks for the help! as i can see all suspention looks origonal! it does handle well at mo but have never been in zed with modded sus! i think its too late to join rltc gb, as you say its probally better to get racelogic at good price now and wait for suspention may be when good deal comes along! i am a little worried about auto box but have heard these can take better power than manual as there more progressive at getting power down??? car and box has done 60k with decent upgrade cooler and regular oil changes so i hope itll be ok! if not its an excuse to buy upgrade!!!! thanks for help guys! regards steve
October 22, 200618 yr wtf are you upping the engine power without doing the brakes and suspention 1st? ass about logic mate.
October 22, 200618 yr Suspension first !.....RLTC is great, but it can only ensure you have the grip that your tyre and suspension setup allows. i am a little worried about auto box but have heard these can take better power than manual as there more progressive at getting power down??? e The autobox is the Zed's achilles heal, whereas the Manual box is one of the strongest out there.
October 22, 200618 yr Author i have eagle f1's and copperfield carbon pads on std disc! and havent felt the need to upgrade sus and brakes untill now! havent had car on road since start of power upgrade as when fitting t25/t28 tubs i was supplied wrong oil feed pipes so when all put back together pipe leaked oil onto turbo!!! not good, so havent driven for a year whilst finishing other projects! this week i have started taking engine out to get pipes sorted and whilst im there fit mismo 555cc injectors! i wanted to get engine all tuned and sorted over winter as this i cant do myself and will take a while, , where as fitting all sus and brake mods are very easily done as i own my own garage. my plan is to sort out power mods this side of xmas then sus and brakes before getting on road for spring! i was thinking of eibach springs with kyb shocks, and std size uprated discs to go with pads all round!! just thought that rltc even though premature is such a good deal its worth doing it backwards, is it not????????
