looking at April before i take my car anywhere,bumpers away at the paintshop,got some other jobs to do yet and i havnt put any miles on the engine yet.soon as its all good im gonna pop along and meet some people.whatever you guys do have a nice time.

Email sent mate.she used to get around on here under the name sasquatchi.youll find some more pics if you look.

Si,give me some notice and pop round and have a drive of the laguna 1.9dci.great on fuel,reliable,6spd box and handles like its on rails.The 406 was pugs biggest flop and residual values prove this.The xantias are ok but that will also be worth peanuts when you come to sell it.And if you get a petrol 406 or xantia it will depreciate faster than shit off a greased shovel.

I know of a s2 black j spec lwb tt for sale here in bristol.greg knows the car as well.it belongs to Sasha.its a manual with dragger exhaust,advan wheels,fmic,apexi safc,hks f con ecu and some under bonnet bling.she wants good money for it but a nail it aint.if your interested i can give you her number.

Hi Chris,Ive always run 235s on the front with my 8.5j rim.you running 245s??

sounds like clutch master cylinder fault.

I bought a set of these and reckon they are the dogs for fifty sheets.

too all those worried about any alignment issues of which ive never experienced in the five times ive removed a zed engine,paint tippex around the edge of the x member fixing nut.when the nut is removed it will leave a white ring behind making relocation much easier.

I was after a simalar turbo spec.I opted for z1 motorsports gt525s.they have the spool characteristics of t25s and are capable of 100rwhp more.they dont require any exhaust mods to fit them either.and at $1900 which worked out about £1200 at the front door youll have money left over spend elsewhere.

Any of the known brands like instant gasket,or hylamor will do the job a treat mate.I learned of this years ago from a stainless steel exhaust builder.used it ever since even on mild steel systems and never had a problem.

automotive silicone sealant is the best when sealing exhaust flanges.paste can blow out over time whereas the silicone stays flexible.

Works for me everytime,even on truck clutch packs.cheap new oil can filled with fluid,and a piece of w/screen washer pipe.its easier to force the air up into the master than than force air down from it.

Nice looking car bud.Am i assuming your friend told you it was 420-450bhp.With the mods it has youll be lucky to have 360-380bhp.You can buy retrim kits from nippon autos or the zcenter.or you might get a good price from a trimmer.

yes its the same starter for both models.

Having bought quite a few items fom the states id say go for it.customs cant examine every package and apply import duty.some you win some you dont.Even when i have paid import its still cheaper.Youll find most us companies are only to happy to ship here.Z1 are very reasonable.I find it best to phone from my mobile.It really isnt as dear as youd imagine.For a pair of turbos i paid £90 shipping and £130 duty and i still saved £400 on what i was quoted here.The yanks do like to give good service to their customers and you will get a "Have a nice day" after you place an order.

if the pic is of the actual item then its wrong.the fronts are cassette bearings.hth.

Got a koyo rad which im fitting to my car and ive put it in the engine bay for a little taster of what its gonna look like(my engines out for rebuilding).and ive noticed the top brackets dont match the profile of the core.is there a common mod to be made to enable them to be used.my second question is do maplins sell 28pin eprom sockets and what is the going rate for getting one soldered in?.

Bought an apexi for my tt.you wont feel a massive difference but the car will feel more responsive.most cars bebefit from a free flowing air filter.if you already have a upgraded exhaust then it will be more noticeable.dont get me wrong your not gona be thrown through the back window now!!!.but it may give you a smile. :cool:

Thanks for the tip Dave.set of seals and a flow test it is then.wish id never bought the sodding things now !!!.

I know where your coming from.if they dont flow right then im not using them.cars are a bottomless pit.thank god i dont have to pay for the engine build as im a mechanic and have built two zed engines before.my wallets going to casualty soon after the hiding im giving it!!!!.

Oh well then,in for a penny in for a pound.its never ending mate.new ring gear.head work etc.mind you i did get the block bored and crank polished for a steal Lol!!!! ;)

^^ spot on.zed flywheels tend to get a hard time and nothing will finish a new clutch like a high spot on a flywheel.

Hi Mark. Its just for a flow test.The injectors are new.Done a silly thing a while ago and bought venom injectors before i found out they have a terrible reputation.would buy some nismos but ive spent £2500 on other tuning gear.figured if i get them flow tested to check they will flow 550cc then i can fit them and replace them at a later date.

Does anyone know if £15 an injector is a fair price for flow testing?.

FT as they say in the trade or 1 dugga! :rofl:
