My twin kakimotos are baffleless + straight through decatts. Its a bit loud for town, but pootling along not too many birds fall out of the trees! If i could find some proper perforated tube+ wadding baffles for it i might use them! Unfortuneately,all the ones above are glorified baked bean cans-just watch your fuel consumption go up + performance die.

Hi. i got mine from uk driveshafts,£128 delivered, with the bracket + nuts etc. I did try a couple of zed specialists, but none had one in stock. I will be fitting it tomorrow, let you know if its all good.

So not the ghostrider.He's normally on a turbo hayabusa,but you think he deserves to die for bad riding? :nono: Words fail me. :slap:

I use a jwt 'pop' double entry cone, no problems.Think its going to be aggro if yours is a foam type in the rain.

Most of my local garages are 121.9- 120.9. for normal unleaded.

Since i ditched my sh*te foam mushroom filter+ put a 'pop' type on, mines gone from 20-22 mpg, to 23-26mpg. Yes, i have checked it. Done over the last few hundred miles, some 40-60 cruising, quite a few full throttle fast blasts in there too.Try and keep off boost+ they are reasonable.Stay away from towns too!

electrical contact cleaner is great too, sprays a lot in one go+ after its washed the dirt off, dries with no residue.

Blimey, i'm going to have to cut my list down,by ignoring my fix up +flog cars here goes. 1973mk1 1760 full raly escort,{ wise first car} 1974 mk1 1300 escort, 1975 mini 1400, 1987 chavalier mk2 1.6, 1990 rover 820, 1989 rover827 vitesse, superb car, but rotted away, worlds scabbiest 1993 ducato van, 1986 v12 xjs 5.3 litre, burned before my eyes...with my wallet on the passenger seat,ho hum, bmw 735se 1983 manual, 1989bmw 535 sport manual, 1990300zxtt manual jdm, 1992 uk zed300 uk, 1991 jdm manual tt 300zx, ERRR+ about 30, mostly tuned, big bored bikes.not that i'm obsessed with power + speed though eh! i blame it on my brother, 1976, 6 years old on my chico pushbike hanging onto the back of his triumph 750 at a heady 20 odd mph.

I hate agreeing with this, does make me wonder how we will cope with $250 barrels, i think brown could slash the PERCENTAGE OF TAX+ MAKE IT A CAPPED AMOUNT OF £0.xx AMOUNT PER LITRE, it would at least stop the increases screwing the country. I for one have no idea how i could afford to get to work, heat the house+ eat without some sort of tax break. With a limit on our fuel taxation, The fact the rest of the europe is suffering high prices+ taxation could finally give our transport industry a helping hand. On another point, sales of syphoning kits at halfords have increased..:headvswal

a council type garage. Oh dear, i'm moving+ wont have any driveway till september, but my old bmw wont fit in a 16' garage+ my farmer friend has wrecked his barn. Anyone know of where/who i can store it in or around st.neots/bedford-ish? Cheers!

Hi. What system are you running? I want to do mine, but get a load of conflicting advice, my main lpg experience was an early multipoint 535, but the vans at my old work were just smoother on gas....not less powerful. I would like similar on my zed, but not if its going to be a long long payback.:nono:

I had to wait for mine too, but my van (e-van) was downloaded 2 minutes after i signed up. Why cant all insurance be like that?

We definitely need a new alernative. Might try it myself. Apparently if you are a member of european parliament you can go to work at 7.30, sod off half an hr later, collect £60000 wages + claim expenses for pretty much anything.Meanwhile, no-one wants to know what you do! Must be nice.

Watching the light go green at santa pod on a hayabusa, with the front in the air, the back sliding sideways was.er.somewhat exciting.lol. lifting off in a 'powered glider'+ watching the runway through the floor 'these are only made of thin wood' said the cheery pilot. Getting free of my boat,+ breaking the waters surface.Only a dinghy, but the ******* collapsed all around me. A few others, not as many as i would like though!

Have you thought about a new fuel pressure regulator? if duff, they chuck fuel down the drain. I sometimes get 100 miles on £25 :shock: Running stock turbos, full 3" decats, + a big green mushroom unidentified filter.

I'm so bored and sick of the while fuel price issue, i run the zedtt everyday, i've done the maths+ if i have a 'cheap' car as well as the zed i will save a whopping £13 a week. I know the time will come, when i can't afford to run it daily but until then i'm going to enjoy it+ smile smugly at the terminally bored in their boring cars.I make no apology for this.I'm ranting now, but heck, seeing as i've started.. I work 16 miles from home, i did see a bus once, but it was lost!, theres no alternative form me apart from walk to a new job, then the local firms pay is dire.(mine isn't great) Think hard if you are selling, i can see a time when we all whistfully look back at the 'zed days' and Wish for something better than your new '75cc restricted to 15mph made from cowdung multiple personal transport machine ' Meanwhile, we watch so-called 'developing' countries burning coal + oil like theres no tomorrow.Why do we have to 'set the example'? Seriously looking at a life in australia, where the governments 'green message' is to heavily subsidize lpg conversions.Not the only reason of course, but a big factor in it.

Exactly. Thanks guys, i have since found out that my local pc shop will not sell a pc/laptop with vista, with less than 1 gb of memory, cos vista needs double the memory of xp home. So, extra memory ordered, how do i remove vista Without a vista disc(it is a legal copy) I have an xp home disc. :(

My dad got a laptop for xmas, the buyer has left us now+ no-one knows where it came from. 3 minutes to start, 1 minute to open internet explorer, lots of freezing, going slowly. Bloody thing sends me potty. Its an ACER ASPIRE 3694 WLMI INTEL CELERON M 440 1.86 GHZ, 533MHZ FSB, 1MB L2 CACHE 80GB HDD, 512 DDR2 RAM Has xp home, office 2007 + macafee security+ no games etc. I thought it would work tons faster+ better than my ancient dell inspiron, but mine is soo much faster. :( Does it need more ram?, de-bugging? or just a slap :slap: ?? Cheers!!

I always thought turbo changing had to be engine out, or a hell of a fight. I passed up a 'for peanuts' dead turbo s2 as i thought i couldn't do it with engine in.d'oh.

When you take the heads off in situ, is either turbo left attatched?

No circlips on this one, just a pressed on seal, thats smaller than the joint end of body+ the bolted on cap. Looking at it, the tapers bigger than i thought, quite a step.

If you look at a new nissan balljoint, you can see a slight taper. Using the 'grind+ knock' method is going against this taper, sometimes you will get lucky+ the balljoint will crush into itself enough to pop out the wrong way, then again sometimes it doesn't. Trying to do it this way took me hours+ hours of frustration, i hammered, drifted, had a big hammer+ a weight behind the hub+ all i did was sweat! :hurl: The first time i tried to weld a bolt where the thread was, it snapped the bolt. I then managed to weld through a bigger nut, with a bit of care so as not to knacker threads, poured cold water over it, then got an m20(IIRC) bolt screwed into it, a huge imperial socket over it, chunky washer onto the bolt + it wound out-i wont say easily, but it came out! :smw: I wish you luck, drove me bloody potty, mie also had a white 'goo' around old balljoint. I also sprayed penetrant dye all over it, tp see if i had cracked hub, but thankfully hadn't.

Irwins are a cheap, but very good make.

I always fancied an alfa, but when the time came there were 20 on evilbay+ 8 of those were 'spares or repair' :x:

Ghosts.Call it what you will, but every now + then odd things happen, like walk into our empty house + put my keys in the hanger, have a shower(downstairs) + they are not there. I've found them upstairs on the bed, in draws+ outside.I can't explain it. I dont drink heavily, or do drugs, or have memory problems.Only ever seems to be little items, draws are often open too when no-ones been home.I like to put it all down to mischievious cats,helps me sleep at night.
