how did you get that picture of my bird? :D

If the royal mail are good to me then I will be fitting a smithy fuel line kit tomorrow afternoon! :D probably smoke a fag at the same time just for sh1ts and giggles... :D

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh that looks promising, cheers!

lanky great streak of p1ss IT geek.... thats me.. I think I should really own a golf driver or possibly a honda NSX (only ever seen speccy tw@ts like me driving them!) :D

cheers guys, thats was I was hoping for! :) still not sure about selling up... just feeling the need for a bit of a change.... due some bonuses and stuff soon so will have some "spending money"

What do you reckon my cars worth... '90 J-spec LWB 80,000 miles Auto (new box at 50k miles) Respray July 2004 in bayside blue '99 spec front replacement stock spoiler in fibreglass. HID headlights Grounding kit HKS bovs IC and TB Hardpipes recent full service, cambelt, waterpump, thermostat etc A-Pillar guages, oil, boost and water temp Silver speedo dials silver/aluminium interior trim kit decent MP3 player blaupunkt stereo fitted with BlueI speedtrap/gps thingie, and LRC100 laser blinder braided brake hoses black diamond pads and discs mongoose cat back blitz air filter smithy fuel line kit stock tweed interior, not bad condition. tidy body work, only rust is battery tray in the engine bay never to my knowledge been chipped etc... would 4.5k be taking the piss? probably... ;)

If you're putting 5.1 in mate do a proper flush of the whole system, if its not had 5.1 in it before. Im pretty sure 5.1 wont mix with another other grades of brake fluid and can cause problems... although i could be completely wrong.....

lol, beat you too it ;)

check your power steering fluid first, that could be the cause of the hicas/ps problems, alternatively could be a dodgey speed sensor or a badly converted speedo (if its an import) i think... :) dunno about your acceleration probs though.. sorry

due to go and see ryan some time this month, will ask him nicely to slap the conzult on whilst im there! cheers

cheers for the help guys, will check the seal on the center panel... any pics would be V helpful :)

really? that speaks volumes I guess... I drove a 911 a few years back and was impressed, I guess I had better check them out again and compare the drive to the zed ...

recently had both o2 sensors replaced by ryan... (both within the last 3 months) and the fuel tank does hiss when I open it... 72 litres?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! argh....

best get that fuel line kit ordered pronto then! hopefully that will solve the problem... cheers

Oh poo, Im having a bit of a nightmare.... I'm loving my Zed lots at the minute, its behaving pretty well (besides sucking too much juice...!) :D and following boost upgrade later this month will be (by my standards) as fast as fook... Im torn now between two ideas... pumping a few more grand into the old girl... new wheels, leather interior, and a few other bits and bobs... or... spend nothing (besides servicing) keep her for a few months, flog her or break her... then get an early 90's Porsche 911.... (about 14-15k's worth) what do you reckon? I think the porkers from that time still look pretty up-to-date and as with all cars If i get a goodun should be relatively trouble free. (no turbos to worry about, will be getting an NA!) Parts, running and insurance is probably going to cost similar to the zed anyway, labour at porsche will cost a bomb though... the main plus that I can see is the depreciation, compared to the zed a porsche will keep its value really well...

exactly thats kind of what I was expecting, not getting anywhere close to that though... I'm not running boost jets and im fairly certain my ecu is stock... (now theres an idea, maybe if the ecu is chipped and the boost jets removed i could be running rich?!?!?!) SHIT just worked it out, (tank on a zed is 60 litres right?) Im getting 7-8MPG when I boot it! something MUST be wrong!!! :hurl:

was bloody wet here yesterday when I was driving and Im pretty certain I managed to get my MAF a bit soggy, had rough running/hesitation over 3k revs, jerky acceleration when it did decide to go over 3k that kind of stuff... seems fine today in the dry so Im assuming it was the water... question is what can be done to stop it other than not driving in the wet!! :D Its a real pain when you're stuck behind a 4x4 on the m-way kicking up gallons of spray and you know its all getting sucked stright into your filter! :( anybody come up with some fancy "weather shield" ideas?

help My economy is even worse than most.. If I drive super sensible I can eek about 200-250 miles from a tank but thats going REALLY slow... this is acceptable but I worry about If I boot it for a bit I can literally watch the petrol guage do down!! 100 miles to a full tank of optimax when driving quick :shock: is this normal? Im wondering if im running a bit rich or maybe have a leak somewhere... Going to order a smithy fuel line kit because I get the usual petrol stink on startup but it cant be leaking that much can it? AIV's have holes drilled in them to stop the gurgle, these affect fueling dont they? cheers dave

well thats a bummer... saves me spending the cash though! :D

now i just need to russtle up nearly 2k... better get my head down and do some work and try and get some commision! :)

cheers, will the 10's fit on the rear without a wide arch kit or should i be putting 8.5s on the back too?

hello, hate to be a complete copy cat (I know a few people here already have them)... but Im toying with the idea of a set of brock b4's for my car. just wondering where you got them from? cheers Dave

cool loads of badges, im going to cover my car in subaru ones....

who are you insured with?

I disagree........... :hyper: :mac1: :nelson:
