What demolition derby idea ? :confused:

cheers si ;)

Ive just blown my headlight (round one) bulb on the passenger side. Where can i get a direct replacement ? It a jap import does that matter? And is it worth me upgrading both of them ? Thanks in advance for any help guys/girls ;)

Im not any more mate ! Decided to stick with the finest car ever made ;)

i like the sound of that !

Im in Torquay ! :D

Is there any way i can check out my cars history ? Like some sort of register for zed owners? The previous owner might have been a member on here and wouldnt mind knowing any car history?? And if not, why not :D

That plenum is insane:D

I have a N/A Import and on mine there is definatly a noticable difference running on Optimax !

Primera GT - un-sung hero :cool:

I have a N/A zx. Obviously im down a lot of power on the TTurbo boys. But i find that most cars kick my ass off the lights. I love the car but speed wise it is pretty disapointing. Especially up against MR2 turbo's, supra N/A's, even some FTO's. Are the twin turbo's that much faster ? Not in BHP terms but faster against other cars? Ps - they do look better than any car on the road :rolleyes: and sound better and are 100 times more fun to drive!

Right the water seems to be remaining constant now, also after a trip around the block the heater/blower is working. Should i do a compression test or something to find out if ive damaged a head gasket? Im a bit worried in case i go for a long drive and it totally goes tits up! ps. Thanks for all you help so far - a mechanic would have probably charged me 40 quid by now!

My cars an N/a but ive seen the screw and i will undo it. Sorry for messing you about mate And thanks for you help

what screw ?

sounds like it is smithy! Right ive glue it back on temporarily! Filled it with water seems ok. However after 5 mins of running took the rad cap off and filled it again as it was low. Done this 3 times now - each time i take the cap off the water cant be seen and it takes about 1/2 a litre to fill up. Is this normal ? Should i keep doing this until it doesnt happen anymore? How do i check my head gasket aint gone? Sorry for all the questions - im no mechanic (you may have already gathered this ;) )

PM'D cheers mate

Well, thanks very much for your help and offereng to talk me through it. Went under the car and litterally just touched the drain pipe and it fell off on the floor! The thread has sheared on it! This must have been the problem,whether something has knocked it or the plastic has just degraded. I suppose now the best thing for me to do is remove the rad and tryand get the rest of the drain plug thread out of the rad, the get a new plug?!? Do they sell the plugs seperatly? Hopefuly, when i fix the rad everything will be ok! Thanks again for your help!;)

Ok the water is going straight through the rad and out of the pipe at the bottom. The filler on the rad is right in the middle, and the water is coming out of the plastic pipe (looking from the front of the car) to the left hand side bottom of it! It wont fill at all! Im callin in the mechanics! GUTTED :( :cry: :(

No, but i am going to right now! I hope the head i ok !!!!!

There is a tiny plastic pipe on the bottom of the rad - directly below where you fill it up - it was comng from there! The same amount i poured in came out the bottom! Didnt fill at all. Drove it for about 8 miles (to get home) in this condition

Right ive just opened the rad and it looked empty (couldnt see anywater anyway), so i put some antifreeze in it and it just poured out of the overflow pipe on the bottomof the radiator (i take it this is an over flow anyway)! Turned it over and it started then the revs just died out and stopped! HELP MEEE. Iv got a jap car meet tomorrow!

I was just driving along and decided to put my heater on - it started to blow cold air. Thinking that it may need charging or it was out of water i checked the temp gauge and it was normal. I stopped at the lights and the car cut out. It turned over really slow and started after about 10 seconds. Evertime i stopped after that it cut out, and when i put by foot down it made a horrible pinking noise (sounded like an old diesel taxi or a bus). I managed to get it home and popped the bonnet and there is loads of smoke comming from under the inlet manifold area. Any ideas ? Im worried it may be the head gasket! Havent checked the water yet as its too hot:confused: Ps. its a non turbo

SPEED BUMPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks about as tasty as a year old peperami

i got probs loggin in too!

and mine:D
