Who's got a Pearl white Zed??????
I'm told but I've never seen it that a guy in my village has a 1994 UK Pearl?? Like someone said earlier I thought it was a Jspec only shade. Sorry guys but I don't consider white a colour. Not for me.

Hicas eliminators
I've got one at home never fitted it because by the time Nistech sent the right one I'd aquired a Stillen. So if you want it its £200 if ya don't I'll mesure it for you. (THE eliminator) It has to be the same size as Your HICAS as it replaces it and the pivet points have to bee exactly the same. Otherwise it would push your rear wheels toe in under compression if too long and toe out if too short. Which would be interesting at least when cornering hard.

Hicas eliminators
No they are not the same as Nistech sent me a Skylark eliminator first and although the elimiator is the same lenght the mounting holes are in a different place. + If its the boarder type that have ajustable arms they are much shorter.

Tyre wear - which lasts longest?
You can still get S02's, but they are specified as Porsche only fitment and as a result some of the original sizes are no longer available. I got to a place in Warrington and he has them on the Shelf all the time.

Highest mileage autobox?
Yes Mr chunkster, but the one you destoyed that you got off me. Had done 120,000 + miles (without inccident) before you got your hands on it. Then did you record 1/4 mile with it and then 170+mph race with a Bentley Coupe'. Comon Chunkster what do you expect. All that while hauling your lard arse as well FFS :slap: :rofl: :rofl: P.S 1994 UK with oil cooler. Don't think chunk fitted a cooler to it?

pirelli zero's
its the Rosso's Ive been having on My C70 T5 as I'm getting a real good deal on them at the moment, because I sort out all the tyres for the company cars :D They may have a soft compound but they last longer than anything else I've tryed and still give unbeatable performance in the rain and good dry weather grip. ( not Yokohoma Dry weather grip but good enough)

pirelli zero's
Bridgestones are really good in the dry and supreme in the rain. Like the man said.
-
Was it the HICAS ?
But not the best in wet weather :slap: :D They are a good tyre though The Ideal would be to have a set of wheels for the winter (Verdestien Snow Traction Sports) a set for wet days (Bridgestone S02's) and a set for dry days (Yokohomas carn't remember which ones now) Unfortunatley most of use have to have a compromise and my choice is Bridgestone though Goodyear Mitchellin and Perrelli all have good rubber, but get the right one.
-
pirelli zero's
Well I got them on my C70 T5 and thats only 250 bhp and they last about 3,500 to 4,000 miles So I'd say 3K on the rear of the Z. They arn't a bad tyre for wet weather grip though, but they arn't as good as Bridgestone S02's. If you carn't get your hads on them (they're listed as a Porsche only part) then the S03's are almost as good.
-

This has more bearing on the rear end breaking away than the HICAS. Invest in a good set of Bridgestone S02's if you can get hold of them if not the S03's and your car will be transformed. Your proberly looking at £700 for a set of good tyres. (I've tryed Perrelis, Dunlops Michelin Pilots Yokohomas and Avon on my Z over the years and always come back to brigdestones) However if you get in touch with someone like Wheelbase or Demon Theives they'll do you a 18" wheel and tyre deal for about £950 and if you specify what tyres you want it'll only cost about £100 more. So for like £300 more you get ride of your standard wheels as well . Or I've got a set of refurbed UK spec Wheels with almost new bridgestones on for £300 if you pick em up.

Need a part Number for J-Spec front lights
Chris before you start spending dosh just Try the new 80 watt "Ultra" Bulbs from Al Frauds. They are the same colour as the HID's when lit and use "Gas Technology" well thats what the blurb says. They are a billion times better than the super bright bulbs of a year or two ago and better than the PIAA equivelent.

What Tyre have you got on and what tyre presure.

Over fueling all 6 pots but O/S bank seem worst.
Andy I'm not suggesting anything. I've run out of suggestions thats why I'm asking for them. I'm quite interested in what you say because that might explain why O/S slightly worse as thats the side closes to the pick up points on the balance bar. Its also the side that gets fuel first which is why i'm thinking the ECU is saying pump more baby. Anyway I'm hoping a better brain than mine is going to look at it at the weekend.

Cheers Paul I'll check TTnet out, but as I said at the start. If its management systoms it could be staring me right in the face and I wouldn,t see it.

Over fueling all 6 pots but O/S bank seem worst.
Last October from Chris at get Greddy or you? I carn't remember, but I was in a hurry because I paid johnny for them and he couldn't get them for some reason. They went straight to grass hopper and I never got the reciepts. If you remember I got you to send me copies of reciepts for the turbos and a shit load of other stuff I got from you earlier in June. Cos that all went direct to GPS and the reciepts that were with the kit went missing. This thing is over fueling that much I did 87 miles and used half a tank and had 3 ltr more oil than I started with. So the mountain is going to come to Mohamed and hope fully we won't end up frying my engine.
-

Well I'll try borrow one first and see if that resolves it. Coz they sure aint cheep to buy if its not that. I wouldn't bother with second hand as you don't know how long it would last.

??? It's suppost to be the correct Chip for 555's. got someone coming at the weekend to check that and fuel presure out. Was thinking of getting an upgraded regulator with gauge on it so I'll always know whats what.
-

As above. If its taking things apart and putting em back together then I can do that no problem but once we get into management stuff I'm stuffed and so frustrated I don't know where to look next. Should i start with new fuel regulators and pump. The ECU had problems that Camco sorted. Hosing and pipework all new and seem correct. This is all really getting me down and I really need help.

POll IMHO
That looks the muts. I'd go for it if I was you and if I wasn't so financially commited at the moment I would go for it.

how healthy are you
Smoked from the age of 11 till 42. I was always fit and active through out my life till about 36yrs of age. However I used to be an Art student and played in Rock Bands with some succes for years and have abused myself with Sex Drugs and rock'n Roll so to speek till I was about 34. Then I decided to be a responsible Dad etc and noticed I didn't seem to have the same energy and enthusiasm. (whoo I'll have a line of that please), but since i've been doing this Zed up over the last 2 years I'm completely Fooked. I've aged about 30 years and feel completely knackered all the time. I've always eaten well. I just think if things in your life are a bit shit then you'll feel shit and die quicker. So if this fooking car aint sorted by October at the latest I'm going to sell it irrespective of what I've spent on her.
