Another note to self: 'Only attend a Zed meet on a dry day - could be carnage if it rains'

Already got a big order in with the Danster for other parts - cheers

OK many thanks I'm on the case!

Then my worst fears - the old eyes are going..................................

I'm beginning to hope that I don't meet some Zed owners coming towars me on a bend if there's a slight amount of humidity in the air.............................

Thanks - but I was thinking maybe just upgraded main beam bulbs instead of a full HID kit for mains? Is that possible - Xenons or something that will at least be better than the candles that are currently there?

I hate to say this but my vRS Octy would run rings around a Zed in the wet and damp. I'm still unsure of the slight over-steer efect of the HICAS system - and the RWD of the Zed is not as re-assuring as the FrontWD of the Skud. Still, if Michael Schummi drove it he'd say 'what problem do you mean in the wet?' Something to aim for then??

Actually Meguiars Gold will get that reddun back to normal in no time at all.................. That's what the guy in Halfords said anyway :p :p :p

Here's the type of Track Day I like:- Donington Park National circuit trackday 14th November Unrestricted noise 30 minutes on track - 30 minutes off track all day 6 x 30 minute sessions 179 pounds Track cars for hire from http://www.track-club.com Tuition available Helmets available Suitable for novices and advanced track drivers Free familiarisation for novices To book - reply to this e-mail, book on line at http://www.goldtrack.co.uk or call 01327 361361

Again - excuse my lack of knowledge - but do these HID kits work as a full high beam dipped beam unit - or is it only dipped beam on HID and you revert to the pathetic yellow main beams ?? I think dipped and main OEM lights are not up to the job. If I want to 'enhance' main beam also but not go down the HID route for main beam what's asuitable upgrade bulb that won't blow fuses, melt glass etc?

Depends which track, what day and whether it's a Gold Track Day or a normal track day. Gold Track is about 200 a day but you get open pit lane and you're only in one of about 2 or 3 groups. Done Silverstone, Brunters, Castle Combe, Hullavington, Donnington and Nurburgring. I'll post up some details when I decide - maybe a Group Zed Day?? cheers Chris ps already got my mate with his Zed, a new Type R and poss a Beemer coming with me - just need to tie a date down

So far I am treating my 'new' Zed with caution - I feel 100% in control with my Skoda vRS at any speed in any situation - it's awesome and I'll miss it like mad when it goes next Saturday. I'll be Track Daying my Zed soon to see what the break away points are - before good Ol Jack Frost appears................

The kit I ordered is specifically for a Jap Zed apparantly.

Just ordered a 'pukka' set - thanks

My screws are all fitted in Japanese so I'm not sure how they work :D :D

You mean Dan comes to your home and fits them for that price? That's amazing - I'll get on to him right away...................

The lights on my Zed are OK ish but I'd like to upgrade from 'yellow' light to pure white and brighter - what's the score?

I rest my case!!

One of many things we were taught on the Advanced course was - always treat the approach to and exits from a filling station with huge respect - as all diesel and petrol spills remain on the tarmac waiting for a sucker biker or car driver to spin out. If you notice any corner or bend within 300 meteres of a filling station will have those tell-tale streaks of 'wet'. As a surving biker of many years I watch those like a hawk. Trucks chuck any overspill out either side of petrol stations. No traction cotrol, ESP, or ABS will be of slightest use to you. Just a mobile phone and some disinfectant. Just "Add water to taste" :mac1:

I always thought Auto's were the way to go when buying as it was a fair assumption that the car hadn't been thrashed to death re box, clutch, motor??

Funny thing - my Autobox - when reversing out of my driveway from cold - tends to be 'lumpy' it's like a slipping clutch effect - then it seems to clear and it's fine all day. Would low fluid or something else cause that? It's done 55000 miles. Don't want to hijack this thread but all the autobox guru's will read this for sure!!

OKidikidokey

Let me make a few investigations into the best price /size / quality / fitment etc and I'll come back to you. many thanks Chris ps are yours OEM paper cones?

Excuse my higgorance but what do you mean by boxes? cheers Chris

I think there's room to elongate if necessary but I'd rather a straight swap. The size of speaker is not as important as a non-distorted sound - with emphasis on bass from the rears.
