Those deep dish`s make that dub! Nice colour but im guessing that it cost a few bob to get it looking as new as it does. Didnt want to screw it in if i didnt have to but if i cant find one then ill have too :(

Fook me, Soz mate didnt realise you were a golf nut!! Lovely looking car, esp the leathers inside, look mint. I know you have posted up elsewhere about thread hijacks but is there any chance you could tell me where you got your front number plate holder please as mines stuck on an inch wide plate with sticky pads and falls off daily. Cheers

Ive edited the post while you were replying there!! Damn sausage fingers :headvswal The G60 wont be economical but a 16v mk2 runs pretty well.

They dont come much more modded then this without spending a few bob on it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AVRI&viewitem=&item=300063838138&rd=1&rd=1 Item number: 300063838138 Was thinking about this one before I got the ZED, He wants 3700 notes i think. Ways about the weight of just the ZED engine and has the G60 supercharger in it!! Heres a couple of links to mull over.... http://uk-mkivs.net/ You have to reg but it has some decent mk1 and mk2 on there http://www.clubgti.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=48 This is the best one, Loads for sale and is well worth posting up a wanted post as you will have plenty of replys. My work mate is a golf nut and made me buy the one in My Rides so if you need to know anything then give us a shout and ill pass you on to him. Good luck!

Are these the super white bulbs? The ones im after are the white ones without any blueness to them, Ive had the blue tinted ones before and cant stand them, Im after the ones that are as close as you can get to zenons without having the HID kit. If they are the white ones then ill grab a pair please.

Vijay youve been a star mate :bow: Ive got one more place to try tomorow and see what happens then if not ill grab these. Cheers

Cheers everyone for the replys, I went back up to halfords and have swapped the blades for 2 x 19" which seems to be good enough as thats what was on her so like for like but a hell of a lot clearer. The bulbs are something else though :headvswal They dont have a clue what bulb it is or have anything like it in stock, I was also told try the main stealership which ill think ill pass on. I took the one out of the headlamp and showed this girl what it looked like and then took it in with me but the rim which sits between the bulb and prongs on the one from the car is pretty small in diameter and all the "super brilliance" ones have a huge rim meaning that it will sit about an inch back inside the engine bay and cant be held in place by that little wire clip so im going to have to find a bulb specialists or do the uk conversion thingy that Vijay kindly told me about. Im guessing my next post will be a wanted one for 2 new headlights after breaking them :rolleyes: One good thing to come out of all of it though was the girl serving came out to double check the blades fitted before exchanging them and while she was there i showed her the headlamp fitting and explained what i meant by the rim being too big and as soon as she saw the engine she asked if it was ok to take a picture of it and started swooning over the ZED. What a great feeling.

Cheers vijay fella but as im a complete idiot i have no idea what they have done there as the top link inside your one doesnt work mate. Could you explain it like talking to a 5yr old :) Sorry to be a pain.

Hi dave, Sorry mate but didnt want to keep bothering you everytime i needed something as you`ve helped me more then enough :) Ill pop back in there with the arms off then and match them up by eye. They smeared a bit on the way home and thought that i might aswell stick a new pair in so i dont have to worry again untill the summer. Off the top of your head do you remember which car the bulbs in there belong to as then i can just go and buy the same bulb but in the super brilliance white? No problem if not as i do the same as the wipers and just match them up by eye again. By the way, whats the button in the glove compartment for? Is that the alarm reset button as i cant work out even with reading the booklet how to change the turbo timer.

Do you know how id go about doing that or have a link please? Cheers

The ones i have are 21" and they dont fit at all, The drivers side one when in the down position sits lower then the passenger one but as soon as you turn on the wipers it catches on the passenger blade as it goes up slightly quicker. The blades on the car are id say about 19" to 20" but these 21" ones are the only one they had listed for a zed.

Dont apoligise mate, It was great to have someone take the time with a complete noobie and trust me when i left i knew a lot more then i did before i got there :) Thanks for everyones replys, and you are all right im VERY happy, I saw someone say on here that "It only takes a curious buyer to sit in the drivers seat to make his mind up" well i think he undersold it a bit to be fair, I only saw her arse and knew she was coming home (Just read that back and doesnt mean to sound like it does) As for the meets, ill be at any i can make it too. Ive allready seen that there is a bloke not far from me so will make the effort to meet some new people and rack their brains. As for mods, I dont think there is a lot i could do at the moment to make her any better, theres a couple of minor little repairs.

I went to halfords and bought some new bosch wipers, Checked with the girl that they were for the 300zx and it came up with size 21/21s for the front. When i put them on, the drivers side overlaps by about 1.5" so it catchs it on the passenger wiper on the way up. Does anyone know what size i need and as mines a jap import does that make any difference? Its a G/1990 model. Same as above again with bulbs, bought the recomended "super brilliance" bulbs size 448sb which is what is says in the book are for the 300zx but when i removed the bulb from the car its a single pin bulb and these new ones are double pin. Going to pop back up there to refund them but if anyone knows which one`s i need then ill just change them over. Cheers

Excellent... MORE reading stuff lol, Cheers mate, its bookmarked.

This was what it look like after driving the 200 odd miles back home in the fog and rain :rolleyes:

I already done my hello thread but this is a hello with a new car :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: I’ve seen quite a few for sale and wanted to wait for a nice one to come along and one has... DaFox was selling his Zed and even though he is in Bangor north Wales and im in Milton Keynes, something felt right about it. Left my house at 9.30pm on Thursday night and drove up as far as I could without nodding off and stopped over in a hotel. The next morning made my way over to him and all I can say is... one of the nicest most genuine bloke’s ive ever met. He took the day off work and we got there at 11ish and didn’t leave until 5ish!! Great test drive, ran me through everything and I mean EVERYTHING on her, took me for an excellent test drive where I got to drive her for the first time :bow: Then had even more tea with him, ran through even more stuff, explained how the turbos worked and so much more. Wasted a whole day entertaining me and the missis, He bought brand new shocks which weren’t even open, just under half a huge bottle of oil which he put in the boot at NO extra cost... Just gave me them for free and made up a folder with enough reading stuff to carry me onto the new year!! He even made me a Cd with software, presentations, videos, diagrams, instructions and photos on everything on her. Treated us amazingly. Dave you’re a legend and I really appreciate your entire help mate. Now for the good bits..............................

Cheers andy :)

Should be getting her tomorow so will sort out the club stuff on saturday. Ive met charlie george briefly as he still works for us, does tours and promotion bits and bobs. Top bloke and he bleeds red and white, true gooner of the old build and still hates the "others" with a burning passion. Im sure i will have PLENTY of questions so when Andy Duff has a go at you for sending me his way Im really sorry :) I dont mind making my way down your neck when a meets on if i can get to it so hope to see you sometime next year if i havnt parked her in a wall by then.

As soon as i get the zed ill send the south east member a Pm. You ever get up near here much or you along the coast?

PES6 is the best. Havnt owned fifa for years now.

It was tongue in cheek (No pun intended but it works so well) but theres no harm in asking.

Ill have to ask the missis if she would be up for that TBH, not knowing you and all that might be a problem but who knows ;) she sleeps with me so you should be fine.

I have a 7yr old boy so im pretty much the same as the others above. Films, food, napping (me and the boy) food, tv, food and sleep. Filling his stocking up then climbing into bed with the missis for my yearly green light :dance:

Put me down for that mate as its an excuse to drive miles up the m1. As long as its not to rip the mick out of us southern shandy drinking fairys then that would be great to meet up fella. Do you know the one for my area as i cant get a mem card without a club can I? which i will need for flux insurance as thats coming out the best so far. At a guess i think it would be south east but not sure.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Im in milton keynes and dont know exactly which local area i come under? Im trying to sort out my membership card and need to know and as i will most likely have a zed ( :dance: :dance: :dance: ) within a week!!!! I feel I need to belong to an area. I dont know who to pm my details to. Cheers
