find some granny porn and save it as his wall paper, and if poss hook it up to a projector as well, so everyone in the office can see what he has as his wallpaper, that'll go down well

hey Guys and Gals, long time no threads. Well its nearly time to sell the zed, its going for spray work some time next month, in the mean time ive just bought my replacement, and im really starting to question my sanity! The Spec is as follows: Ducati Monster 750 '00 W reg 26K Met Black with a Bronze frame and wheels and the best bit............. Will pop wheelies in any gear OMG im a dead man! would post a piccie but am not subscribe, so you imagination will have to do, and if your brave,and you have had the misfortune of meeting me, picture me in leathers mmmmm nice i give myself 6 months... BRING IT ON :wack:

shoulding pete be saying OOH ARRRRRRRR i like my zed, but i really like me combine haaarrrvesterrrr lol! and red is for men, not that nonsey black rubbish

cheerz lads. ive just noticed that i didnt say what was wrong.... well ive blown the piston rings. arse markzx can you email me on T0rque0fthedevil@aol.com thats a really good price for the engine, could you send me a few more details mate cheers nick

cheerz gaz, always nice to know that it works out for some people. problem number 2 has arrisen this morning, the missus! not only have i got to contend with my self, but i got her breathing down my neck now! arse at the end of the day its all about money. if i can find 2.5k i need for a full recon then ill probabaly keep it, but i cant see me finding this money when ive just bought a house never mind cheers mate nicki

after much consideration i have come up with the following options for the zed, all have one thing in common which i will reveal at the end 1 sell as it is ( which to be honest will be biting my nose off to spite my face) 2 Find a good second hand engine and stick that in 3 Find a recon "short engine" (ie block internals and heads) and link it up with the new bits off mine 4 by a fully reconned engine and stick that in 5 do a full rebuild my self - which i prob wont, as far as im concerned once an engines had it, its had it! Option 2 is looking like the most cost effective at the moment and less time consuming oh and the common factor, its still going for sale, unless i go the fully recon route, which to be honest i dont think i can afford, but wish i had done that in the first place! doh! anyway, thank you to all who have posted on her, out of all the owners club ive been apart of, ive made the most friends on here cheerz chaps nick

oh and i forgot brand new RPS clutch and a apexi tub timer

normally i would break it, cause ive got alot of quality parts on it, but i just dont have the time or space. i just dont have the funds to fix it nor the space to store it till i can afford to fix it. its going to have to go as it is, so if anyone is interested the car is L Reg ( registered as a Oct 93) J spec 2+2 TT Manual Red - laquer has started to peel on n/s/f wing and typical wear on rear spoiler 59000 miles I have completed the following modz and repairs since ive had it respray of both doors and rear quaters Second hand heads with fully reseated valve ( whcih took fcuking ages to do, by myslef i may add) Big end bearings UK spec rad egr and air con removal Megan racing down pipes and decats with HKS super dragger pipe Apexi induction JWT chip Blitz sbc id 3 boost controller and Power ID 3 Blitz 17" type 3 split rims ( which retail at £2K without tyres) 4x new bridgestone SO3 tyres few momo interior bitz new MOT and TAX Changed the injectors and rail Various hoses Water bypass by Z tech err and thats all i can think off at the moment. does anyone have the foggiest what its worth coz i dont have a clue, and to be honest am not expectin much cheerz for all your kind comments nick

the thing is which really pisses me off is that shes worth sweet FA with an engine that isnt sound which really hacks me off.

after having the zed only 10 month of having my zed, the last 5 months have taken its toll on me. After putting up with everything from blown pipes and radiators to warped heads and gaskets and blown big end bearings the last straw has reared its ugly head after a gentle drive to guildford i was sitting in traffic, as a big lorry went passed, i saw a small plume of blue smoke. at first i thought othing of it, but after looking down at my oil pressure gauge it was reading exceptionally low for my car. i pulled over to layby only a few hundred yards down the road, stuck my head out of the window and gave the engine 3/4 revs only to about 4.5k after the 2 rev that blue smoke that i thought was the passing lorrie was actually from my zed, after only a few more revs lo and behold i had a small cloud all to my self of the dreadded blue smoke. after forking out over 6 grand in 10 month, thats it ive had enough. and in all honesty ill never have another. this car has let me down to many times and i just dont trust the dam thing or any other of its kind. as soon as i have finished writing this thread im of to the autotrader sight to by myslef a she of sum variety, probably a diesel, no i aint that miffed, but something that i can rely on on getting me from a 2 b no questions asked. i will probably still come on the site occationally, and all the mates i have made thanks to this forum i will still keep in touch with. its been grand chaps and chappettes, and i hope none of you suffer the heartbreak and misfortune this car has brought me :cry: No where do they hide the skylines in the trader?????? :shock: CheerZ Nick

i totally agree mark, BUT and its a big but, when the car is your daily driver and you cover around 300 miles a week, and you hate trains as much as i do, it multiplys your stress levels ten fold but i still love her..... just

Heyt guys, after takin off and putting back on my boost pipes many times, they have given up the ghost and formed mahoooosive splits in them, so i though time to upgrade to a set of mice hard pipes. At the moment Smithy's pipes are looking like the most popualr and cost effective option, but as i do with most things, i look to have a good look at all my options before i set my mind on any certain set. the only other make that i have managed to find at the moment is the HKS intercooler piping kit at £323 inc vat, which is £100 more than smith's pipes, and in all honesty i cant see them being £100 better in any way ( doing a BMW and relying on the name HKS to bring in the sales!) Apart from having them custom built, which i have already discovered can cost a small fortune and take fapping ages, who does a kit for the mighty zed. Blitz dont list them and i cant find any listings for the zed with Greddy/Trust, JUN or anyone else to be honest And yet i find it hard to beleive that none of these companys do them for the zed! So basically, does any know of other manufacturers that do them, and what has every one got on there motors??? Cheers chaps and chappettes Nick

steve: the rads been top mate, even better now its not got air con in the way!!! Zmaster: cheers mate, and very true about the lack of corrosion! well thank god no ones said my turbos got a knackered seal or anything because that would just be the end of things. now all ive got to do is get some hard pipes to get rid of my split boost pipes, change the plenum gasket and find out why im getting a VERY loud blow from my exhaust manifold!!! :shock:

mate when youve had such a frustrating time with your zed over the last 5 months that ive had ie blown head gaskets twice, completely warped heads, blown big ends, no compression, knackered injectors, 2 sets of tyres and various knackered oil seals, you begin to wonder, why do i still have the cursed thing!

as i was fettling in with the zed, as you do, i happened to be lying down at the front end of the zed. As i looked into the front vent of the bumber i noticed oil on the underside of my apexi BOVs and a little puddle on the undertray!!!!! :confused: WTF!!!!! i tell you what if this is a sign of of one of my turbo's on the way out, im taking the zed to an abandoned car park and burning the bloody thing!!! :mad: hopefully some one will tell me i'm over reacting and its only an easily replaceable seal or something any ideas cheers, Nick

I have to say my old wheels do look good on your motor. Nice one.

Not going to be able to make it now. After putting the engine back together. After doing a compression text found only 40 psi in all but one cylinder. I'm reseating the valves as we speak but it won't be back together and running till sunday afternoon. Arse. Have been looking forward to this meet for weeks. Saying that i have managed to sort a few other niggleing issues whilst its been apart, including removale of the air con, egr, stopping that annoying rattle from the exhaust and on more rattling injectors either. Fan fapping tastic!

Arse. Really wanted to in to this, why did i have to go and buy a house! When is it again, if i manage to find last minute funding i'll get a ferry myself. If not i hope you all have a top time and feel better knowing that i an exceedingly jealous! Nick.

He won't be singing when the mighty reds knock them out the champions league.

Jay where you getting the plate made? Nick

Jay we need to get a few more from our area to come and get a bit of a convoy on the go. Bubbles, justindorville, markw, you lot coming, come on lads you know you want to!

Let me know how it goes with that number i have you. Nick

Yeah i know its a touch on the annoying side. But i'm going to go over the engine with a fine tooth comb see if i can find any potential problems. Have you seen the blue z in the trader in farnborough?

Sorry lads not going to be able to make it, i've blown my big end bearing and its going to be at ztech for a couple of weeks. Hope you all have a good day though. Nick

suzy, im just about to send off the cheque for me and the GF on the stand, but have you got any spaces on the track time??? let me know cheers nick
