295'S!!! shizzle my nizzle!

.............ill buy some:rofl:

Yeh thats nice, ummm no, its like a stones throw from Westbury, youd remember it if you been here, for example, today the village is exhibiting 2 bomb squad vehicles, a riot van and 2 police cars, just an every day occarance for Dildo Marsh!

As in the lake...........

Never heard of the m30z..... Ohh yeh i see! Looks really good from that angle. Do you know where Dilton Marsh is? I assumed you were from Bridgwater in Wiltshire?

Cooool ill have to have a look into that, cheers for the info! Any idea where i can get the clear diffusers or do you remove the paint from the originals. Thinking about it, mines got loads of scratchs and stuff anyway so im better off getting some genuine 99 spec, mind you, i have seen the price!!!!

Dilton Marsh :( ! Yeh she has a bit of tin worm, well did, but i didnt pay a great deal for the car, and it has looooaads of service history, and a lot of reciepts from Zed world i think and often services, and cambelts.

Cant you get that oil supliment that supposidly loosens tappets up a little? Mind you i know i wouldnt put it in my Zed!

99 spec isnt too my taste, but the one thing i do like about them is that they give the car a newer look that it deserves, but i just dont think the spoiler suits the contours of the car, looks a bit out of place

Damn, i was gonna say id pop over to give you the money for subscription, i havnt quite got to grips with paypal yet, my ex used to do my subscriptions cus she was good with that stuff, at least she was good for something i suppose! The cars not going in for another 5 weeks at least, its having bother rear quarters replaced, bumper and bootlid painted and fitted, the welding on the sills blended in rather than something that resembles 2 armor plates from a tank! And just all the scratchs and dings etc done, so its nice and clean for the summer

Yours looks a similar height to mine, ill have a check one day. If not id be happy with the 30mm, i want to spend a reasonable amount tidying the car up, not too fussed on coilovers, rather put the money towards a house.....

Yeh i gotta subscribe anyway i just havnt got round to it. Are you admin by any chance? Cool, are they a rare part? I was gonna call them mudflaps but didnt wanna seem like an idiot:mac1: Yeh i got the stock TT one, ive always liked them, not a fan on 99spec but i do like the lights.

Also what ride height is yours FunkySi?

Lol i have deep-ish pockets for this project, just short arms! All i need really is a bootlid with that spoiler, like the one ive got no, but looks like its been shot a few times! And the things that are attached to the back bumper, not really sure what there called :s

Yeh ive never liked matt black

OOOhhhh i get you Yeh, gloss black it is! Next question. Where can i find the bits to make my Zed look like the black one! :D

Yeh im not a glitter fan myself, not a great fan of mettalic colours either, but i thought gloss black on such a big car would look a bit more out of place, also my xr3i was gloss black, and everytime i parked it somewhere it got another scratch, just so easy to see. What the hell is a rock gaurd? Lol The goldy flippy paint sounds good, but its a little expensive, is it possible to have a slightly coloured laqour or something similar? If so i was thinking gloss black, with a blue touch to it. I think im just going a bit too far now!

My Zed is having a full car blow over with the work being done, which includes correct bumper and bootlid. My question is, has anybody got any good ideas on what colour i should paint it? The car is mettalic black now, and i dont really want to have the door shuts etc done and would like to stick to black. So the question really is, does anybody have any sort of blacks they like on other cars, or should i do other things like flakes or and 2 tone ideas etc, anything really. So far its going to be the original colour or high gloss black. A friend of mine thinks gloss black with a red flake would be good, but for me it would have to be a very small flake, and spred across a wide area so not to look like a chav wagon! Pictures would be great!

I would have had a look but its waining!:(

So you did, but how stiff? Stiff enough not to turn? And is it a commen fault for the compressor to ummm break??!

Understood :) Good luck with solving the problem anyway StellaZ

Ignition timing/injection timing? Sorry for thread highjacking. How is this problem usually solved. All i know is 99 ron is supposed to help prevent pre dettonation

I see, i thought thats what it was, is this a result of underfueling or running lean under boost?

How can you tell its detting?

Yeh see my plan was, to turn the aircon on, look at the pump and go hmmmm, yeh could need a new compressor and re gas! Could i turn the compressor pulley if its on anyway? Or would it be really stiff?..............the compressor.......
