I will try and make this one but i cant put a super dragger over me leathers.My missus would go :rant: as she payed for the re trim as a gift .

What the old man means is he wants to take the zed for a good run and stretch its legs after its build.if you said John o groats he,d go.

I use fuch semi syn 75/90 in my gearbox and shes sweet as a nut.we keep it at work for vans which is a bonus.

The brakes on a zed will work fine if in good working order.if your caliper pistons are free id give them a bleed to flush out the old fluid.when you see the colour of it after 17years youll no why it needs changing.brake fluid is hydroscopic(absorbs moisture) so after time its boiling point is reduced and pedal feel will be compromised.It will make a hell of a difference.

Seen a red lwb L reg in Weston village near Bath,had stock wheels and a pram handle on the bootlid.Anybody from here?

Check the engine cont fuse under the bonnet.If this blows the bat light can glow and all sorts of other strange electrical problems can occur.

Weld an m10 nut on the end of the protruding stud,the heat from the weld will help to free it off as well.

Did you have the inner lights only wired as fogs though.Darryl on here wires them so they all work normally until the fogs are used and you only lose the inners then?

what you can do is use your inner stop light bulbs to stay on as rear fogs so you dont lose one of the already useless reverse lamps.

Many thanks guys.off to the pub now for some grub and a :duffer: .

Having fitted and drove a car with the 600s i can say that these are a very good turbo for the price.the impellers are slightly larger than the 530bbs as well.

Bring your brollies for this one.every year ive been the day starts out nice then ends in a down pour !!.

It all depends on the front mount used.some will need the oil cooler relocating and some wont.Your ARC induction box would have to go mike i reckon.You may need to cut the bumper bar and some kits require that the fog lights are removed.The seller should be able to tell you.

That car is not heavily engine modded and the claimed power figures are very tongue in cheek.It does not mention anywhere about higher flow injectors so the power will be more like 370.Ask the guy for a dyno sheet and i bet she or hes "lost it" which is the usual reply :rolleyes: .

Get the bling as well mike.FAST ZEDS need some eye candy in the engine bay!!

Smithy or Danny on here will sort you out a tried and tested brake upgrade.

Rs 2000 and 3.0 capri,drool!!! :cool: i love em.Always wanted a black mk2 rs custom but was too young at the time to afford insurance.

Yes the 2.0dti has major problems with the fuel system.Seen loads of vectras/astras with fuel problems.Usually poor starting or lack of power.the bosch pump breaks up internally and needs a complete overhaul.The cost for a pump iirc is around £700 exchange.

If your cars a manual Glenn on here had a John Dixon chip for sale.you will still need the socket fitting to your ecu though.

Easy on a ramp but will be a bit tricky on the floor.The stick comes out through the top but undoing the pivot bolt underneath can be fiddly.If you have small hands it shouldnt be to bad.

It sounds like your lower bushes have failed.they are top hat bushes made of plastic and can go brittle and break up.mine did the same.Mike feeney sells them.

As soon as work permits and the weather is more agreeable i shall be attending.Be nice to catch up.

Enjoy the car Mike and take it steady with the bad weather :D .Put traction control at the top of your list mate.

If you want to get hold of John youll have to pm him.I will tell you now when i last spoke to him before xmas he was very busy at work.my advice would be to get the car to a good rolling road,see what its making at the moment so you know if there is more power to be gained.At least then youll have an idea of what your cars making.To get near smithys power youll need larger throttle bodies like he has.

Greg was probaly wacked out on crystal meth at the time !!! :rofl:
