Anyone got any ideas on this, A friend oiled something under the bonnet to do with the throttle bodies? but unfortunately it hasnt cleared it. Basically sometimes in the morning there is resistance on the pedal and you push firmly and it clicks and goes. Between gear changes the throttle sometimes stays open and at sets of lights again pedal is stiff, and a firm push to click before IT moves. Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Does anyone here know ZEVANS? Im still waiting for something from him and havent heard from him in last 3 weeks :cry:

scary - my bolts went the same way If ya boot lid is squeaking when going over bumps put some little rubber (computer) feet on your slamdown rubbers to extend them a tad. Cured my squeaks. Slightly off topic I know but . . . .

Cheers James, oh and your a star - cheerz for sorting out them tyres

Im thinking of putting the Supra wheels on the Zed. When I done it before they bolted on ok (PCD is same) but didnt move as they caught on the caliper. Can I get spacers to move them out? Is it safe? expensive? Ta

Would these bolt straight onto the Z? I keep searching ebay for 300 wheels but there doesnt seem to be that many advertised - if at all. Could I buy some skyline wheels and would they bolt straight on? Ive seen some wheels with an offset of 45mm - I know ours are meant to be 35...42? Does this mean they would clear the front calipers? Ta

Hi mate, they look sound did you win them on ebay? I've been hunting ebay for the last month now for wheels??!!?? I didnt see these on there.

Does any of this really apply to UK cars? Does it make much difference for UK Specs?

I really should have washed my car before taking those pics

hehe - PMSL :) This is what they should look like

I reckon they ought to make all car drivers pass a mandatory motorbike test. When I first started on a bike (about 5 years after having car license) it made me realise how vulnerable and scary the roads can be. Your on a little 125cc and you got cars whizzing past you at stupid speeds. That being honest has made me a more careful driver and much more observant. Second guessing some idiotic car drivers comes easier when youve ridden a bike on the roads too. Just my tuppence worth

IF anyone has seen the Outkast - Hey Ya video then check this out http://www.liquidgeneration.com/poptoons/saddam_outkast.asp

Bin it and get a APEXI mate from Chris@Getgreddy - I did Seen the reviews on http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/ Theyre cheaper than £200 now though ;)

I have Turbo XS - I dont think they're loud?? I know they're on right but my baileys twin piston DV on my supra is louder.

Andy, what I meant was basically how come an auto doesnt lose boost in between changes. I presume the throttle bodies stay wide open? but something kills the revs quickly? hence no screaming between quick gearchanges.. I was just wondering if there was any way of doing the same to a manual so you dont lose boost between changes.

sounds same then, it just I got a baileys twin piston DV on my Supra and this has exactly the same workings as the TURBO XS. Just a smaller outlet, I thought If I could fit a rubber pipe and reduce opening down it may give me more sound. On the same subject how come autos dont let their boost go between changes? Is it something that we could get aq manual to do to stop losing precious boost

Also is there any way of making a DV louder? I have 2 Turbo XS I got from a trader here and they sound ok - but due to loud exhaust you can barely hear them.. . . .. They look like recirc's as it looks like a flange you can put on a pipe - because of this wide opening all the air is let out too quickly hence a whoosh sound rather than a pchooo sound (if you get my meaning :) ) Can I put a pipe on each outlet that narrows the output out to get it louder or will this damage anything? Cheers

owch - sorry to hear that mate I sold my bike after my mate killed himself. Glad I did, I never had an accident but most of my other mates have had accidents and various body parts in plaster. I work in a hospital now, and see plenty of accidents down to bikes - scary stuff

Is it wise to disconnect the 6 coil packs one by one to see if engine revs drop while car is running? my mate has just done it and said when he disconnects no 5 engine note does not change hence not firing? Ta

Im interested in a 2nd hand 99 spec bumper

Just got 2 of these BOVs, and gonna replace my recirc with these and use them as DVs for that lovely woosh :) Removed headlamp panel and induction kit and can see the original recirc's. Is there any easy or special way of removing them? UPDATE: Ive found a few places on web that say remove electric fan which is all good and dandy but the intercooler stops it from coming forward. To remove the bolts to move the intercooler forward means moving the oil cooler. These bolts are bitches. The right hand side one is free but the left is stupidly tight. One of the top 2 screws frmo the thermo fan sheared off and Im worried the oil cooler will go the same way. Ta

As far as Im aware they make no real perofrmance difference - just a nice woosh sound when boost is released to atmosphere. HKS are meant to be the best. I think they range from £250+

:dance:
