  1. May better for me. Remember japfest is this month (sat 16th). What Sunday you thinking?
  2. That looks tidy and not seen this one before. Have to say loving the blue. :yes:
  3. Tempted to have a look myself, literally about 25minutes up the road. Would need some work though, welding looks terrible on those sills and arches look shot. Still worth saving though for either trackday or road, make nice project if you got the time and paid little money for it.
  4. lovely sunny day so decided to finish work early, get car out of hibernation and give it a wash and then pick kids up from school. Then decided to have a detour driving back and took a few pictures to share.
  5. Hi, just checked PayPal, says your unregistered so I cancelled payment and have tried again. Let me know if you haven't recieved payment of £55.40. Not sure what's happening.:confused:
  6. Hi Maathew. Thought that was the case, one of my employees drives past the bear garage every day and has seen it on the ramps with engine out. The crank sensor with the resistor you mention about is the Knock sensor which has been by-passed to stop the ecu hitting the safety mode. Sounds like it needs a proper consult to check what's going on really. If the garage does not have this then you might struggle to diagnos problem and set up correctly. Pop it down to Jimmers, properly your best bet. If you want any help or advice or need to look at mine to compare anything your welcome. Only down the road.
  7. Hi 370Ad. Can you just confirm amount I have to pay for two entrance tickets please. Last year I paid £42.55 this year I make it £55.40 ( 2 x £27.70) £13 increase! Will pay immediately once confirmed.

  9. Hi Maathew. I see you got your 300 at the Bear Garage again, Been parked up outside for some time. Was just wondering if you were getting the tubs done. Might possibly get mine out of hibernation this weekend and have a nosey if your about.
  10. Thanks Stepthen, putting the stillen lip next year that I bought from Andrew G and putting original wings back on. Should be done for jap fest ( Castle Combe ).
  11. Would love to stepthen, Unfortunately am just to busy. Am flat with my buisness and trying to finish my extension before Xmas at weekends. My Brother also on call that weekend of 14th. Will hope to do more meets next year, and get more involved. I do prefer meeting fellow enthusiast and sharing knowledge/ and learning knew things in person than on a computer.:alien:
  12. I rebuilt mine about five years ago and without the recommended balancing, but I did meticulously check and clean everything and measure tolerances. I ve been running about 12psi for 5 years now however for the last year my passenger turbo is smoking on idle, but haven't had time to take off and get rebuilt And balanced by a professional company. Personally I like the challenge and have learnt a lot by doing things myself over the forthteen years of ownership, however sometimes you just have to say no and get things done professionally. Basically I think I've been lucky to go so long without failure, although my brothers 300 which he done around the same time is still fine and doesn't smoke.
  13. Welcome mate. So nice and rare to see two zeds with OEM wheels. :thumbup1:
  14. Hi Maathew. Agree with Noz,sounds like the turbo seals are going. Is this your daily car or second car for weekend/ pleasure. I take it you are considering rebuilding the turbos yourself as you mention purchasing seal rebuild kit. I rebuilt mine about five years ago and without the recommended balancing, but I did meticulously check and clean everything and measure tolerances.

Personally I like the challenge and have learnt a lot by doing things myself over the forthteen years of ownership, however sometimes you just have to say no and get things done professionally. Basically I think I've been lucky to go so long without failure, so I highly recommend getting them done professionally. Your welcome to Pop down for a chat or I could pop over although am busy for the next few weekends trying to finish my extension before Xmas, pressure from the Wife:thumbdown Alternatively give jimmer at powered a call as Noz suggested. Zed specialist.
  15. Hi Maathew, basically it can be many things causing the misfire. Check all the coil and injector plugs and loom for corrosion as these commonly become green and brittle with age. It may sound stupid but this time of year with damp conditions it don't go well with 20 year old electrical components which have been made brittle with the heat these engines produce. Once the engine has got to temperature you can find the engine can run a lot smoother. Regarding the boost, this may also be electrical related. Try cleaning the water temperature sensors, one sensor sends signal to the ECU to tell engine is at temp. Until then it will remain in safety boost. It may something simple like a small boost/ vacuum leak. Obviously without seeing it or hearing it can be difficult to diagnose. If you need help I only live down the road in Box, I got ECU plugin and could check all sensors and base idle etc. There's a few zed owners close to you, I now of two in melksham and two in Trowbridge. Was your 300 in Atworth garage the other week? Seen a red 300.
  16. Nice looking 300 mate, I really like the wheels but don't t no the make of sorry. Unfortunately their are members on here that like to say what your zed should look when you haven't asked for it. I agree with stellaZ this isn't very welcoming for new members and these often seen IMO comments aren't necessary.
  17. I was thinking the same, surely it must have a pocket that sits beneath. I would consider one though, possible group buy if they can be sourced or made from someone in the club.:yes:
  18. As you can see it doesn't line in with the targa roof trims but that doesn't bother me personally. I suppose the rubber could be feathered into the roof trim but I think this might make it look more worse IMO.
  19. Didn't really have a better option as my existing seal was knackered and the other profiles the fitter had would of meant the glass sitting too high or the complete opposite and for water to sit in the channel which I didn't want. He managed to fit the top plastic corners back on but obviously the rubber seal is wider and has not matched exactly to the top trim.:no
  20. Here's a picture, maybe not to everyone's liking but I like the way it seals and stops water sitting in the corners. That's where I've seen alot of rust issues on the 300.
