rear spoilers
im thinking of going for the 99 spec front bumper myself, mines seen one many curbs, do the new style indicators wire up to the existing wire, and does the bumper come with the mesh as standard.

I'd sooo love a Z but...
i also dont drive a great distance to work, so long as u change the oil regularly and drive sensibly i dont see how it should cause a problem, mine certainly hasnt for the last 4 months, you will get crappy mpg tho, i get about 20 miles to a tenner, on my days off it gets a good blast out tho when warmed up. all i can say is i dont care how much it cost to run its worth it, friday morning lovely sunny day and quite warm, the targas go off and i go for a nice drive, such a great feeling a manual uk will be hard to find i can assure you, happy hunting and welcome aboard

Tyre Pressure
well i just had a brand new set of falkens 225 40 18's fr and 265 35 18's rear. obviously want to get the best out of them so what would u recommend, currently running 32 all round, would higher pressure improve handling

falken tyres
well ive had them nearly a week now and they seem pretty good, they turned out to be the 451's with a rather nice v tread pattern, good in the dry and seem good in the wet under moderate acceleratio, 500 quid well spent i think

power steering leak
right im not terribly mechanically minded but i think i have a powersteering leak, when i first got the zed back in november i had to top it up a few times a month, nothing major, light would go out for a few weeks or so, now when i top it up the light comes on the next day and it makes a rather strange noise near that area, it seems to be leaking near the front drivers side wheel under the engine but i cant see where from, is there any likely places to check or am i best taking it to a garage, i look under the bonnet and just get a rather bad feeling its gonna be expensive.

falken tyres
got a quote for a set of falken tyres, 265 35 18's rear 225 40 18's front for 500 quid fitted, are one tried these tyres not sure what model they are. but seems reasonable price, i dont do a lot of miles so dont need super race type tyres. any opinions alternative suggestions welcome

rear speaker upgrade
whats the best size speaker to put in the rears, i gather that the 6 x 4 are hard to replace/find, would like a set of 6 x 9s to add some bass fill, and dont fancy the hassle of base boxes/tubes, are the 6x9's easy to fit, recommendations experiences welcome. rob

Goosehonk - the answer!!!
so when u come of gas its a means for the high pressure to escape thus prevent stalling of the turbos? but wouldnt bov's cause all the pressure to be lost were as the recirc try to recycle the air keeping the turbos spining

Goosehonk - the answer!!!
could someone knock up a simple schematics of the air flow and position of these valves in relation to the turbo etc, nothing complex, just would like to have an idea where all this hot air is going.

Advice Required
i considered getting one from ram motors but considered them way over priced imo, do shop around took me 4 months to find the right one so dont by the first one that LOOKS nice, definately take it for drive and have a 2nd oppion. ill take up on the test drive cos, i live in mansfield and would be nice to compare another one so i can see what a shed mine is.

wiggle
mine seems have this wiggle also, kinda hops sideways over small grates and road imperfections, but i read a review on the 300 and apparently that did it as well and this was on a new car, i think my suspension is probably shot too tho, does having 35 profile tyres cause this also, im due for a full set of tyres and its gonna cost me around 500 quid for the tyres alone, would i benefit in road holding going down to 17's with 45 on.

so, now the zed has gone what shall i get next?
not sure on that skylark, may go well but im sure its not everyones cup o cha looks wise, way too much in ya face for me. but then i dont like evos or scoobies either. looks like it kinda took a trip to the gym and took 1 to many steroids with those bulges. why not go for the newest zed possible , ive seen one on autotrader going for 8995 1996 n reg pearl green.

NZR which cd burner to get?
liteon probably one of the best, either 40x 48x or 52x speed are current models, although ive been reading reviews of the yamaha crw-f1 and its pretty cool, has a audio master mode for precise reproduction and can tattoo your disks. like this tattooed cds

strange rattling noise
i just been for a ride out and had a look under the bonnet as u do at 8 at night, and i noticed an odd kinda rattle kinda like a bearing bust hard to explain sorry, coming from the area just to the left of the top yellow arrow in this pic i nicked from ttnet, the round alloy shaped thing with a black dot in the centre just below the intake chamber, does it sound seriously expensive?
