I'm there. Without question! Nick

To save me routing through 8 pages of threads, when is it and for how long. I really fancy a euro road trip this year, and hopefully the zed will be sound! Nick

Congrats mate hope all goes well. Hope to see you soon. Nick

Oh and down pipes and decats and god it sounds good, when the dam thing works

Well mine's a 94 j spec tt manual. Its running castrol rs oil. Its got 58k on the clock. Its cooked the bearings due to a blown headgasket. No major mod's running 1 bar boost with typical mod's, induction, exhaust and chip

I think i'll have to asses the damage when i strip the engine down and i'll take it from their. I've spent 5.5k since august and i'm gettin a tad annoyed with the spending.

What if i've knackered the journals on the crank case, i've heard thats pretty much as terminal as it gets? And is it likely that i'm damaged them?

You know what mate, thats exactly what i needed to hear! I love the car more than any car i've ever owned, i can't believe i even bought the trader today! Omg what was i thinking. Cheers mate. Nick

Anyone? I'm prepareing for the worst but can any one give me an idea what that might be. Please lads i need to figure out if i can keep the car.

I've left it over night now, have checked has plenty of oil and water, which it has. It will turn over, and nearly gets going but then dies. Will buggered big end bearings cause this? Or is something else dead? Nick

If its the big ends its not to bad because i'm virtually stripping the engine down to the crank when i'm going the heads. If there is anything else wrong with it. Its going, no excuses. Its by by zed. :(

It sounds almost like its got no oil. I know it has cause i checked it. Almost sounds like piston slap. Any ideas any one

Car over heated again due to a blown head gasket. Started the engine from cold and i've got a rattle coming from the engine. Oil pressure is low and it doesn't sound good. Any ideas. Nick

That wouldn't be a egg now would it greg? A dig at a fellow red zed owner. Checks in the post any way. Have given up on paypal its pony?

Whats the crack with these pads smithy. Any good? How much as well

I'm due to change my front pads this week. I still have stock discs and cant afford to uprate at the mow. So which are the best pads at the moment. I hear the new ebc red stuff are pretty good? Cheers. Nick

Take that as a no. Will see you all at the fast meet in farnborough.

Who fancies a meet this after noon at the crown and cushion on the minley road just off 4a of the m3. A bit short notice but the weather seems ok and i aint got anything better to do. Say 3pm? Cheers. Nick

If paypal wasn't so pants i'd post a before and after pic, but i tell you, even vinz would be watering at the mouth over the level of polish on them.

3 days ago i decided to try and resurect my blitz type3 split rim's which were looking sorry for themselves after winters salt abuse. Autosol didn't make a dent so i bought some new meguair's next gen metal polish. This stuff is the shit! Makes autosol look like fairy liquid. Highly recommended to all. My rim's are back to the mirror finish that they should be. Ate it!

Me and sideshow will be there. Will ring round a see who else. Mark w you coming? Jay300zx ?

3m do a window tint called securifilm. You can get it through demon tweeks. My mates got it on his altezza. But it makes your windows like double glazing. Rock hard mate.

Where were you mark? Hampshire police are notoriously anal about speeding. Hand held's are generally used as a guide for a reason to tug you and check you out. You got 17 days though

Top stuff greg. Sounds like a job for tomorrow. Just knowing what the zeds rep for gearbox problems is enough to scare any one. I will let you know how it goes. Cheers again mate.

Like i said transmisson is not my strong point. Are you talking about where you take off the leather gaitor cover off and glue down the plastic gear "grid" that the stick slots into? Cheers mate.
