Virginia Water Meet Sun 26th October, up for it?
An excellent turn out for todays meet. Stated of it was pissing down, but it eventually stopped. I personally counted 19 zeds, 3 GTO's and a Prof's RX7. Yet again, Kudos and well done topless for organising this!!! Heres my pics and one vid of Marco and Anthene going past whilst we had a small play on the motorway on the way home.

Do you get disheartened with your Z?
dont forget your talking to a class 1 advanced driver mate ;) The amount of people who i meet that dont know how to get a car to slide, never mind prevent and control one is unreal! (not that im tarring you with that brush :x:)

Who run what in their Zs right now (chip related)
stock internals and tubs mate. Thats precisely what i want. Im certainly not interested in chasing figures. Driveability is key for me, hence why i want a custom map as apposed to a "popular" one. The reason im uprating the above, i want everything to have a a comfortable margin away from their limit. As you well know intercoolers and injectors are soooo very close to 100% at 1 bar, which i dont want them to be. The other mods are hopefully to aid the drivability factor, keep the throttle reponse sharp, and hopefully give me the linear power delivery i want

I dont know what you have mate, So far ive done Induction Kit (Stillen) Larger throttle bodys down pipes and decats Kakimoto exhaust RPS clutch One piece lightened fly wheel AMS Rad Hard pipes To be done Z1 side mount intercoolers 620cc Injectors (Nismo 555's but im on the later style injectors, so they flow 620) Adjustable fuel pressure regulator AMS lightened pully kit Electronic Boost Controller Once these are on, then ill get JD to map it for me. Not aiming for max bhp, i want throttle response as quick as i can get it, mid range punch and a linear delivery. then ill be happy

From memory mate, the difference is huge. Makes for a completely different driving experience
-

Neither, but when i have the supporting mods i want, ill be employing JD to do a custom map for me

Do you get disheartened with your Z?
your not giving enough beans then. Every zed ive driven is easy to break traction, especially in the wet

you ever thought about taking it on a track. If not, why not?

Collinite - Anyone used it?
I was going to go for a Porter Cable, but i couldnt be arsed with the hassle of the transformer, so i went for a Megs G220. Its done me proud so far, take a look at my rides and youll see what i mean
-
Collinite - Anyone used it?
Looks good matey, where did you source it from. At the moment im still using Megs #80 and #83 combo. Bought some Swissvax Onyx last month. Im due to machine the zed again in the next week or so (depends when my mates barn is free again) and ill let you know how it goes. Have a read of this, the collinite does bloody well! http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=76435

Turbo Seals???
Wil do bud, i should be around for sunday anyway, if you wouldnt mind taking a gander for me and see what you think
-
Turbo Seals???
its not a pure blue smoke, but it has got a deffinate blue tint and smells of oil, but it doesnt reak of it. The cars done 72k and as far as im aware, its still on its original pcv's, although a gave them a good clean out when i put the polished plenum on. Not sure about the oil, it had a change about 1k before i bought it and its only done about 5-6k since. As soon as i get round to it, ill be getting some silkoline pro S from oilman (cant remember what he recommends, i think its 10w40 semi synth)
-
Turbo Seals???
Got my new Sony Ericsson C905 phone today, so decided to see what the video facility was like and found a nice quiet country road in the zed and took a little vid................ Came back, took a look and i saw what you lot have just seen. So i pulled over and took another vid just revving the engine, to show you what i saw.............. Would you educated types agree with me and say turbo seals, or am i jumping the gun and should i change the PCVs and see what it leads too?? It only smokes when on boost, no smoke from start (cold or hot) and no smoke on idle. Its deffo blue smoke though. Nick

Needs some quick easy advice
not without a standalone ecu like a AEM, otherwise itll comfuse the hell out of the ecu.

RCD gone bust
Im suprised RCD went bust, they were probably the biggest evo tuner in the north of the country..... Maybe their race program proved too expensive???

Exhaust balance bar
Id be interested to know this, i have a balance bar just before the cat back part of the exhaust starts, looks like it possible contains silencers as well. Would be curious to know what positive and negative effects this would have
