is this the right colour?
Go to a motor factor and ask to see the colour chips for Mazda blue to match it against your car, some top bodyshops might have a magic eye that will match the paint as well, but would charge you for using it I guess.

Changing the oil pump on a TT
Lots of Zeds have low oil pressure according to the stock guage, they are notoriusly crap, if there are no other signs of oil pump failure I would fit an aftermarket guage first.

rear brakes
In what way are they too big? As far as I am aware they are all the same.

He does have two eyes but he is blind in one, same as me I hasten to add and I did not find it offensive.

Jezza in the Sh1t Again
No, I do not think he should be running this country, I do not think he is decent and he will never get my best wishes.

I think we need people in the media to speak out and say what the country is thinking.

The litigious, compensation culture we live in...
It certainly is crazy, it seems the human race is dead set on messing the world up any way it can, they dont realise the knock on effect these claims have or who really foots the bill in the end !! good luck and fingers crossed all will be fine, as they said, without proof or a witness he can not have much of a case.

Can you not ask the local council if the sign is ok and legal where it is? if yes I dont see how he can claim, if not then best get it moved before it happens again, someone else may try the same trick.

Thunderace or ZX7R ?????
ZX7R gets my vote, I sold mine a couple of years ago, lovely to ride and to look at as well.

How many of you run silkolene pro S 10/50?
I have read on here of at least one other person saying the same, as we know the subject of oil is a touchy one, personally I found one I am happy with and stick with it, I am also dubious of a salesman pushing one particular type of oil and prefer to make my own judgement.

I used it once and my engine sounded a little tappety which coupled with the oil looking so thin put me off, as if your pouring water into the engine. I understand the ratings etc say its fine to use but I now stick with Morris 10W 50 competition.

Who remembers this....
Haha, stop making me feel old !!

Looking for component speakers....enough space in the door?
I have DLS UP6 component speakers fitted in my doors under the standard speaker grilles which are 63mm deep so should not be a problem.

is this a good idea?
Just take the metal cover off the ECU and look, the big blue connector is a pain to get back on correctly so I would leave that if I was you.

Under the piece of wood passenger side floor.

Open the ECU and see if you have an aftermarket chip, if you dont know how to tell take a photo and someone will tell you.

NA horsepower
The wrong exhaust will possibly make it worse, remember most aftermarket exhausts are designed for the more popular TT, but as Murt said, the biggest problem will be its lost a lot of power over the years, it does vary with each car though so if you want a definate answer the only way is to get it on a rolling road.

NA horsepower
It probably has about 210 bhp now with the exhaust and induction.

The future of Smart Cars....
- Any guys here work in finance/banking?
Meanwhile our governemnt is working hard towards us joinging the Euro and making us think we have no choice or they will take the easy way out and introduce quantitative easing, at least then our cars will have a higher price tag !!- tt exhaust on an N/A?
The stock TT exhaust has a couple of restricters inside it to give more back pressure, these can be removed easily with a hammer and chisel if you want, not sure on aftermarket ones but physically they will fit without alteration. - Any guys here work in finance/banking?
