when the area organiser is a regi user id say its not looking good.Why has he not stepped down and passed the ball ?

No mate,the ecu uses it to ascertain when you are pulling away so it can start to advance engine timing.

Turbocharged zeds have wide torque ranges thats why only 5 gears are needed.6 speeds are more suited to modern turbo diesels and n/a petrol cars to keep them on the power.Imho it just isnt suited to a 6 speed box and it will only detract from its driving pleasure.3rd and 4th are so tall gears it just aint necessary.An extra gear would just be a pita after a while.They will do 185mph using the 5 speed so i just dont see how a 6 speed box from a slower non turbo car is an enhancement ?

I dont think personally a zed32 needs 6 gears.The ratios are long anyway so 6 gears would be pointless.Youll get sick of gearchanging.

Mr flibble :lol::lol: it was class pure class.Geniune pant wetting humour.

It could be Nick that your neutral switch doesnt register so therefore the ecu cant detect it when trying to enter diagnostic mode.

I still reckon quarantine was one of the best,Dr hildergart Langstrom and the hollo virus,feckin hilarious.I hope they do the original show justice.

Yeah as stated thats a tyre issue.They can cause some strange problems.Seen odd faults like this on numerous occasions.

so good you binned it on a roundabout doing less than the national speed limit in a car with stage one tuning :punk: real good aint cha :lol:

Good thread Jeff a great fix for a problem that would really be a pain,water leaks are awful.Takes me back to my old ford damp carpet days :yes:,is it easy to puncture the drain tube when fitting those pods,it seems that cars that have those always drip water in when it rains.Ive never fitted a set but have noticed they screw to the A pillar where that tube runs.

Ditch the stainless manifolds because they will crack in time.Get some Ams or Mike Smith cast manifolds.

yes :cool2:

like i said ages ago,you should have just fixed yours,all this messing about,you could have honed the first engine and put new pistons or rings in it,at least you would have known it was good then.It would not have cost you that much and saved all this aggro :pinch:

The hinge is bolted and can be adjusted.the bolts are the wing side of the hinge.Try lifting the door with it open,i used to do that on old fords and it always worked.

im pissing myself here mate :lol::lol::lol: sock suspension Lol.I think rltc is great if you feel safer with it cus it saves the driver fishtailing and hitting me in my car,each to their own Paul as long as you like it mate :gunsmilie:

Men who wear sock suspenders have traction control FACT :lol: My right foot does all those functions.And its served me well in cars up to 550hp with the same torque in wet and dry conditions.Traction control is like a low boost setting on an EBC,who the the feck uses that ? ive never switched my profec B to that EVER !!

U lost an auto zed ?? how,d you do that :lol:

Unless you plan on drag racing id leave the traction control alone,funny though how you have built the car then ask what the traction will be like,you,ll soon find out when its going and it will be a hard lesson if your not adapt at taming powerful cars,any zed after 400hp gets quite unpredictable and will step out when provoked at any time.Its something youll need be aware of and catch it quick when it does,with time youll get used to spinning the rear wheels at 60 mph + and get a handle on it.Get the widest and best rear tyres you can afford is my best advice,You will still have problems though,a Lambo with less power will ber running 345,s so your still fighting a loosing battle :yes:

Rememeber thats an unrestored car by the looks of it,so even if yours is lower mileage the fact that its not been restored adds value,well worth it imho and im sure yours will be worth a few bob too when done.Get some pics up when shes done.UK zeds are far rarer now than many Jap models so well sought after in the right condition.

Lets hope the next one is better cus you do chuck the towel in early,its been stood mind so may not make 165 psi compression in the first ten minutes of running :wacko:

I get them out with a bearing puller o n a slide hammer,two taps and they fall out easy,its a blue point hammer and cost £75.works a treat :yes:
