SSR Indy 500's Front 18x9 et38 w 20mm hubcentrics 255/35/18 Rear 18x10 et 38 w 10mm spacers 295/30/18

Looks nicely put together, but it's not for me..... Looks like something out of a 70's sci fi program with a "futuristic" car

Where did you source the seats buddy?

I would suggest wheels like bbs and rays would probably hit TUV standards as they make wheels for the manufacturers

I personally like the electronic HICAS, so id say keep it. Depend entirely on your driving style, personally ive never had a problem of being able to catch the back when its stepped out with HICAS cars

Profec B spec 2 for me aswell. The biggest thing that lets the gizmo down for me is the looks, regardless of its features it just looks cheap to me

Agreed, lovely wheels, I like the arches, but you don't need that much stretch

Will do chap, Ill prob see him this weekend and ill see what his plans are

Thats the stock A/R for stock turbos, or GT525's (as they use machined out stock turbine housings)

My father in law has a 95 GTO MR, which is basically the lightweight TT. Its a lovely car, very sure footed and has great road presence, but i just prefer the zed. He is looking at selling it soon aswell as he has just bought an XKR, will probably end up on PistonHeads classifieds

I did mate yes, but I wont put my name down just yet, im spending alot of time working at the Olympics so I wont know what days off I going to have until about 3 days before. If i'm about, ill come along! Yes. Without a shadow of a doubt (state of tune depending, obv i dont have to say a 600hp scoob may destroy a stock zed0. Its all about the Torque!

Also weight isnt on the zed's side. Like everyones said, the zeds forte is rolling speed acceleration. Im running 295's on the back of my zed, and even with stock tubs running 339 at the fly on stock boost, i could light up the back end in first easy peasey If you want something that will launch you from 0-60 the quickest, a 4wd performance car will ALWAYS be quicker that a RWD, launch control or otherwise. R32 GTR?

Saw you parked up round the corner from Nandos in Kingston...... Never seen this car around before..... member on here?

Nice one Any pics?

I removed it on my first zed and regretted it. When it gets as muggy as it can do in English summers and then it rains, there was nothing worse than being stuck in the zed in hot muggy rainy weather with no a/c. I can understand doing it for track cars because weight is everything, but on a road GT car a/c is something it should have.... I mean look at James May in that vantage n24 in the alps! Oh and if I wanted to buy a zed for a weekend car (not a track car) I would walk away if it didn't have a/c

Yeah, the length of the belts are a real issue. The seat I really wanted was the M&P cybex 2, which has no seat belts for the child but a sort of structured cushion infront ( you tube it, very clever and incredibly safe) but even the front zed seat belt isn't long enough Something else you should be aware of is something called buckle crunch. It's basically where the buckle and latch are touching where the seatbelt goes through the seat (again YouTube will best demonstrate) and causes the seat to fail. Oh and yes, you can fit a rear facing seat in the front as long as the airbags are deactivated for the passenger zone. It's not illegal, even if air. If you go on the think road safety website, it's got all the rule for child seats fully explained

You will really really struggle to find a baby seat that fits PROPERLY in the back of a zed. The depth of shallowness of the seat pretty muh stops any seat to fit properly. I put my little girl in the front in both her maxi cosy rear facing 0-9 month seat and her recaro young sport, push the front seat as far forward as it will go and the misses has enough leg room in the back. I spent ages trying to find a decent quality seat that would fit properly in the back of the zed, and in my head, it doesn't exist. I wouldn't put my head in a cheap motorcycle helmet, and I certainly wouldn't put my nipper in anything other than a completely safe seat

Gut instinct would say cas. What makes you say it's 180 degrees out?? If not id probably check tps maf and ptu

I hope it not another engine problem thats going to cost loads +vat! James you poor bugger, when you going to catch a break!

Can you remember what fluid youve got in the box?

Unless youve done 30k miles in two years, id say its probably not fluid related, unless you were driving it very hard and the fluid has over heated.

When did you last do a gearbox fluid change chap?

give her some ear plugs and tell her to stop winging! Either that or invest is some sound deadening for the boot

Its all about reducing unsprung weight. As someone has said, putting lighter pulleys on reduces the amount of effort the engine requires to actually rotate those pulleys. Basically it just makes the engine more efficient. Yes they do need specific belts, you can either get them from AMS directly, or conceptz or z1

Yeah that sounds cool bud. Ive been given an estimated finish time for the build of mid july, itching to get it back From the research ive done, the Z32 MAF is capable of measuring MORE air than the Q45 and the Mustang Mafs (from what ive found on TT.net and 300zxclub.com)
