Wheel Spacers on non wide arch zeds.
15mm but i bought a kit with longer studs as well ;) but alot also depends on the alloys you buy as i only has 5mm spacers on mine but even 5mm made it a little dodgy with the nuts hence why i went for a full kit with new longer studs :) Mike

maximum offset
far too big offset and would look very very silly you need around a 35 offset for the zed

Import Tax from goods bought in USA
thats actually not true only if the sender ships via the postal service in that country so in the US its the USPS and so on then yes it all comes into the Parcelforce hub in coventry where yes there are customs based in the hub (miserable gits ;) ) when being shipped via DHL, Fedex etc etc the same still applies!! they all have to abide by the import rules and have there own customs people based in there hubs so dont think by getting something shipped via fedex that you will not have to pay because you will be badly mistaken. As Mr Groves said if you ask for the item to be marked up as a low value then your stuffed if it gets lost/damaged and you need to claim. Thats why i always ask for it as warrantee replacement as its unlikely they would ask for anymore info ;) Mike

Import Tax from goods bought in USA
The personnel allowance is actually £36 before you should pay any import tax and vat etc problem is any courier that brings it in will have to pay it up and will charge you for this as well and it can be pretty expensive. As people have said there are little loop holes you can exploit like getting the sender to declare is as Warrantee replacement, low value goods, marketing material and i think there are a few more but another one is to get them to address the goods to every member of your family ;) i know that sounds silly but if you get your goods addressed to 5 family members then you qualify for 5 x the £36 personnel allowance :) Mike

Wheel Spacers on non wide arch zeds.
rears can be done on the car, the fronts are a pain so we took the whole hub off and pressed them out. got mine from chris TBH i didnt get them for bringing the wheels out for looks but needed them to clear the brakes but i must admit they do look nice spaced out a little further ;) but what i will say is the further you space them out the further the camber goes!!

Loud Tapping Noise *advice Please??*
its a difficult one because if its a sticky lifter then it can be moved by giving the car a good revving but if its not and poss something much worse then your only going to do more damage but tbh if you on the lines of having to pull the engine anyway due to a failed oil pump or big ends etc then i would give it a go to see if it frees the lifter up?? do it at your own risk ;)

Loud Tapping Noise *advice Please??*
alot will depend where the noise is comming from its its in the top of the engine then i would put money on lifter but if its lower then yeh more likely the big ends poss from oil pump being knacked :( just hope its the first one bud Mike

Bring on some serious boost!
what base boost are your new springs iain??

lowered the front of the zed today
i think the problem will be its pointing the front downwards so makes it even lower so i would take the back down a little it will point the front up as well :)
-
