Hi, I made this at the weekend, if anyone has any questions, or interested in seeing more - let me know. :biggrin: It started life like this - just a seed of an idea...

Blue then...

Thanks mate - looked there and obviously missed that page - DOH!! Appreciated.

Bump... Anyone..

Hi Does anyone know the [electrical resistance] range of the stock fuel [tank] sender unit - is it/should it be anywhere near 240 ohms empty/33 ohms full?? :surrender: If anyone has a good one on there bench I would much appreciate a quick test to confirm. Cheers guys.:tongue_smilie:

Hi dude - how's things? I got them here: http://www.thinkauto.com/ Tino at Think Automotive is great, very willing to help - 020 8232 3520. HTH.

You are the fashion police I thought Si ;-)

Hi Does anyone know for sure the rules and regs regarding a side exit exhaust (in the UK)? :batman:

I have been looking for a good Ultimo for a while now - gonna call them...

Great opportunity for you guys to create a lasting legacy "How to change turbo's insitu" thread. Please Please Please :smartass: :cool3:

Hi, At my last MOT they removed the slam panel to access the VIN plate (fair enough my mistake) - but they kindly re-located it for me by Gorilla Gluing it back on to said chrome slam panel in a position of there choice - muppets! :oops:

Maybe the word 'style' is misplaced! ;-))

It's a style in Japan called "Bosozoku".

:punk:

Hi Gary - single piece front end - all tilting forward.

Hi, I am making a one piece tilting front clip for my zed and I would really like to lose the headlight baskets as below... ...Thoughts please? :no: :lol: :surrender: :thumbup1:

... This may not be the case for the stock side feed injectors of course...

I have been told by the manufacturer (RC Engineering) of my top feed injectors that polarity is not important. There is nothing but a coil inside conventional electromagnetic injectors. Apparently they have done extensive magnetic testing and there is a small difference in the shape of the first pulse when you reverse polarity and this is due to hysterisis. Any trace of this is gone by the 3rd pulse so it is insignificant. There is a significant back EMF when the magnetic field collapses but this is absorbed by either an RC or (more commonly) zener circuit in the ECU. The breakdown voltage of the insulation is typically more than an order of magnitude higher than the back EMF voltage. I am told that if polarity is marked then the mark allows a technician to match the terminal polarity to the terminal of the harness.. just helpful for diagnostics.

Hi, When extending the injector wires is there any polarity to observe? I mean - does it matter if they are possibly reversed? :euro: And same question regarding the coil connections please? Cheers in advance.

Hi matey - I have a custom high level fuel rail - so the throttle cable cover does not fit anymore. There are some (small) carbon fibre mounting blocks holding the rail in place, and I was trying to add something to enhance the look, but I think I drowned it. I don't support/like the whole carbon thing either - but I like the less is more styling where small quality carbon parts enhance the overal look. I think I just over-cooked it. Appreciate your comments. Keep em coming ;-)

DOH! There see - that's the rub - I have fantastic taste!! :yes: But you all have been great, and a different POV is what I was looking for. I had been inspired by some beautiful engine covers that I seen at a US/Corvette show down South at Easter, and I came away thinking I could do better on my Zed but... ...Anyway - I'm better now and promise to snap out of it and focus on the finish line and not the cleavage of the gal holding the flag!:helpsmilie: You can mail me Jaffa at andy.gp@gmx.com (small print) I'm not a fabricator, I'm not interested in making anything for anybody else, and you can't afford the time even if I did. But always happy to chat/help a fellow zedder :wub:

Carbon fibre + High temp Epoxy - it wont melt and I cant imagine its going to contribute to the heat. I have a vented bonnet anyway so not as bad as stock. But the current concensus is it sucks - so it will be going back to that big box of prototype dross in the corner oif my studio :hang:

Well thanks Si - :devil2: (I think) :turned:

Appreciate the comments from everyone so far - thanks very much for your honesty and time. Must get back on track and stop distracting myself. lol ;-)
