Surely a de-turbo'd TT engine would have less power than a stock N/A owing to the lower compression of the turbo engine?? :confused: Still cheaper to buy a low cost daily driver and keep the ZX for fun. Richard :)

Those Krauts will buy anything :tongue: :rofl:

Oh, and with a filter change my UK spec TT takes just under 4 litres to reach the full mark. Richard :)

Mine hardly ever uses any oil - I don't think I've ever topped up with more than 1/4 of a litre of oil and that was after 2000 miles of mostly hard driving in hot weather. 1/2 a litre per 500 miles does sound excessive - turbo or cylinder problems perhaps? Richard :)

Stick some blue stobes in the front bumpers and you've got a nice un-marked police car.......... :smash: Still a lot of cay for the money though, and you've kept with the 3.0 v6 theme. Nice one. Richard :)

But I've only just found this out after 2 years on the forum...... :rolleyes: Richard :dance: :rofl:

Maybe that's why the moderators don't let us post more than once in 30 seconds........ :tongue: Richard ;)

.....is at it these days...........

It seems that everyone........

Let the Max Power Supra and Cossie boys leave their timing belt covers off - watch them :cry: when something gets under the belt and fecks their engine........ :p Richard ;)

Best £20 you'll ever spend on your ZX :cool: :cool: Richard ;)

Hows about subscribing..........

Also, whilst on the subject......

Bit of a post-whore too mate!!!

When I put my DIY-99 spec ones on, I sold the standard ones for £40 (+p&p) on here. They were in v good condition too. You can buy a pair of brand new 99-spec ones for £200+vat from Luke @ Z-Centre (excl. the centre panel) HTH Richard :cool:

Oh, wait....I've just thought of another..... .....Melinda Culear (spelling?) - she played the brunette reporter who accompanied the A-team :p :p :hyper: Richard :cool:

Hi Benny Just my opinion, but that red TT on Ebay (middle one) doesn't look like a 75K mile car to me judging by the condition of the seats and steering wheel. take your time and find a good one as when these cars go wrong you'll need a few grand in reserve. That said, find a good one and it will be reliable. Richard :cool:

Hi Tweaty, It should hit full boost c9psi in any gear. I have no idea what could be wrong though......... :confused: Richard

I've had this with company car drivers at work. We own the cars and are the registered keeper on the V5. I have had at least 3 this year where the NIP is actually dated more than 2 weeks after the offence let alone the extra 3 days grace for postage delays. Each time I've written to Thames Valley Piglet as a director of the company, politely pointing this out (although I still gave the drivers' names as required by law) and respectfully asking that the NIP be cancelled. So far 100% success rate..... Richard :cool:

I only have the stock guage but it didn't get past half way, even at 120 mph. It has been over that - when I had a leaky water pump and poncy little front hoses it would go up past 3/4 when stuck in traffic on a hot day. Now they have been fixed it normally runs under 1/2 but never goes above it. Richard :cool:

Always found exactly 4 litres with a filter change to be spot on. Richard :cool:

Plus the ZX had large front brake calipers so clearance is a major issue. Azev wheels can be ordered direct from the factory to fit a ZX. Try http://www.dtmotorsport.co.uk If you ring, ask for Dave - he knows his stuff and will give you a good price. Richard :cool:

You need 235/40/18 front and 255(or 265)/35/18 rear to keep the same rolling dimensions and ensure your speedo/ABS work properly. Richard :cool:
