HID kit ordered from the US
How about bulb life. I have found the good bulbs (130w) don't last very long due to the heat generated in the magnifiying globe. Ivan

Trax
Hi JonJon. Which one were you on the track? Yeah it was a great day out but just too hot. Thanks to Kirbz for sorting out the pass so quickly. Ivan

Do you live in a Chavtown?
- Midlands meet!
About time you turned up to a meet Mark! :D Saw the Zed tonight. Looks good. Not seen it about for the past week or so. And I still want those lights but the engine needs some attention first. Sorry mate. :cry: Ivan- Mids convoy to Trax!!
Just did on the other thread mate. At Gemma's now so no MSN.- Midlands meet!
The one on A47 or A46 would be best for me. The Sarge only wants the Windmill cos he can push his Zed there if it don't run LOL Ivan- Mids convoy to Trax!!
Hhhmmmm just read your post Chunk mate out to Gemma and she said "I'm not getting up at 5:00am on a sunday". Needless to say we will not be in the convoy. How do we get into the showground? Do we have to orderr tickets or what? Ivan- Anyone own a '99 or '00 spec?
Just occured to me I don't think that I have ever seen a geniune '99 or '00 spec? Has anyone or does anyone know of one? Ivan- Number plate slogans
Got "We can in my Nissan" on mine :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Ivan- Spotted G102???
Spotted in Melton Mowbray. Looked to be a standard UK spec in black. I was the lunatic waving at you whilst you were going up Dalby road at around 1:10pm. Ivan- Spotted NBZ????
Spotted in Long Whatton. Anyone here? Ivan- Stickers?
If you renew your subscription as I just have do you get some stickers? Ivan- PAINT STRIPPER & B+D
Wez that is nice! How did you do it? Just kept putting paint stripper on it? Did it have the standard black finish on? Ivan- Strange boost?
Is is a Jap import? If so then I suggest that the light on the dash is the cat overheating light. Ivan- Got a psiton to do
OK then guy's whilst this engine is out what else do you recommend? Quite happy with the power at the mo. Car is totally standard apart from apexi intake, mongoose and de-cat. Going to have the plemun chromed. Turbo seals are going I think but can't be sure 'cos the smoke could be coming from the piston rings. I think the 'rings will come as a set of 6 anyway so I'll get all of them replaced. Ivan- essential upgrades....?
Best also to change the coil pack connectors, injector connectors and temp sensor connector as these will no doubt be brittle. Ivan- head gasket failure?
Does the car smoke at all. Whiteish smoke indicates head gasket. Ivan- Got a psiton to do
Bugger. Thought that might be the case. Duffer how long did it take you to remove and re-fit your engine? Ivan- Liecester Meet..
I'll be there boy's. Bringing my younger bro' with his tricked up Micra as well. Ivan- Got a psiton to do
Got to do either a psiton or valve on the zed as either the rings are f***ed or a valve is stuck open. My question is can the pistons be removed from the bottom? I will be doing this monumental job myself sometime in the future so I need the easiest way of doing this so I thought if I could get the sump off will I be able to take them out from the bottom? Ivan- Water and Exhaust Smoke
All turbo cars use a slight bit of oil when your booting them so just keep an eye on it and make sure it isn't using loads. Ivan- Bad Afm?
Whats the idle like? Have you checked all the connectors (injector/coil pack/tempsender)? Have you cleaned out the throttle bodies? Could be a PTU faliure. Loadsa other stuff as well mate. Let us know. Ivan - Midlands meet!
