Love affair with the Zed - Over
My Zed was my daily driver and i was filling up every weekend. I had to decide:- a)keep it and be a bit skint or b)sell up, free some cash up. I found i avoided driving the Zed at weekends cause it had cost me £60-70 just to get to work and back. So i sold up and now i am cash rich and have bought a motorbike! I couldnt find any fast cars with decent mpg and CBA running two cars cause i dont have the room to park ect.. Bikes are the way to go. :dance:

at last somebody has got it right
What about these... they have been around for a couple of years now. http://www.teslamotors.com/design/exterior_colors.php Electric is the way forward, I cant wait for them to be mass market. Just imagine a car without any PTU, CAS, coil packs, timing belts, auxiliary belts, head gaskets, valves, pumps, top/bottom end, exhausts, filters.. (and so on.. the list is nearly endless!) that could fail at some point if not replaced/maintained. And best of all... imagine a car that you can drive without having to pay BP/Shell for the privilege.

Massive thanks to Anthonyd and Dan at DTA
Just like to say thanks guys. Anthonyd for use of Conzult and loan of PTU And Dan for getting a new PTU to me in less than 24 hours. The car is running great now :dance: Just need to wash this damn sand/dust off it now. Jon

Dodgy idle
You can check your MAF is reading in spec with a volt meter. Fold back the rubber cover so you can see the pins. There is a unused pin, go to the other side and its the second pin in (pin b). Check voltage between pin b and ground. It should read 0.8v ignition on (engine stopped) and approx 0.8 - 1.5v Idle (warmed) I have just checked mine recently like this and the manual is still up on my screen at the right page :)

hydrolic boot lid holder open things!!!!
Try holding the boot open and banging the struts in the middle with a closed fist from the car outwards (from the boot to the side... direction). Its worked for me with my set of struts. Dont do it to hard you might break them!! but worth a go if you have two sets. I had to give mine quite a wallop but i started softly to gauge how much to hit them.

Mitsuoka Orochi - Good looking or ugly?
I like the comment on the autoblog web page... "looks just like a humpback whale about to suck in some krill" I dunno why but i just like it, its quirky and got character. But then i think the Suzuki Cappuccino is a great looking car. Mind you it does look a bit melted.. haa ha

Mitsuoka Orochi - Good looking or ugly?
Have you seen the new super car from Mitsuoka called Orochi :bow: (its on display at the Tokyo Motor Show) Personally i think its a great looking motor, inspired by dragons LOL, but many people think its just damn ugly... what do you think? Shame it uses the Toyota MZ engine tho... http://mitsuoka.intellbase.com/news.asp?promoid=235 http://www.autoblog.com/2005/10/20/tokyo-motor-show-covered-by-goo/

still no lights
Have you fitted a head unit recently? I had a similar problem and traced it back to the stereo wiring. I think the dashboard dimmer links to the standard head unit and shop bought wiring adaptors seam to incorrectly wire the dimmer to my aftermarket stereo causing the lights to fail. Try taking your head unit out and re-checking the fuses then. this was on a JDM 1990 2+2 btw.
