Thanks Andy, seems I have no 4th Gear. Oh well, no big deal. Like I said I don't make a habit of it Dave :tongue: I was just worried it indicated a bigger problem with the gearbox... If it was up to me I would put in a gearbox that didn't go over 140, but got their bloody quickly, sacrificing top end speed ;)

"Freddie the fist" Actually that sounds more like a 70's gangster... :wack:

Or "Godzilla" Or maybe... "Diamond Cutter" or... "Two Pumps Pete"

Bob.

Yeah I just set that as my desktop background :hyper:

Funny thing is Overdrive works at the lower speeds... hmmm

lol ok mate, thanks :) I'll have a search round. Would be awesome if it was just a fuse... under a pound for an extra 40+ mph is a good value "mod" lol I might give Samurai a go. I just don't know now... I want to trust them as they seemed like good blokes, but it only takes one negative report to put doubt in your mind doesn't it... Dammit I wish I lived near Z-tech lol

Amen to that. Everytime I park up at work I take a look as I go in the door, and when I go and get a coffee I can see it from the window, and love seeing people check it out :) It's more than a car for sure, it's a defining part of our personalities... :bow:

You can do them with the Engine in? Right that's it. These blokes can't be trusted, they said they had to remove the engine to do these... Sorry about the garbled post, I was quite "ahem" merry after getting back from Town last night lol Man my head hurts :smash: I think I'll get the bumper repair job done by them and deffo go to Mr 300 aka Ryan when I can get down there. Thanks for all your advice guys :) p.s. and no it was GREY ;)

Well, was it only bodywork or mechanical work she had done? I'm mainly focusing on mechanical here. They are putting some mesh on for me and respraying the front bumper for me, and that's gonna cost me £150. Now I'm thinking are they gonna charge me £300 or worse! Man, just when I thought I had a result with these guys coming to my home town as well... Well. Looks like I'll be making the trip to Baggins then. I'd rather go to someone who has always had good reports and I can trust to not screw me over. Does he offer a lift home when you drop your Zed off? lol ;)

You too mate, off down the Pub now with the wife and our mates to celebrate it England style :D

Godammit! And I thought I was dealing with some nice people there... Who's car was it? Maybe they can give me their opinion? I think they only just moved to Braintree, so it can't be the same one can it? They were based in Chelmsford before... Now I'm having doubts! They quoted me 2 grand for replacing the turbos for stage 2 ones, and replacing the big ends and the mains. Is this not a good deal? Now I'm thinking it's a bad idea to go with them, only reason is it's closer than Z-tech, it's a 3 hour drive to Baggins, and thought it would be better on Fuel to go to a local company. They even said Nisstek were getting a bad name for themselves! When I took it to them, as he was checking it out I look over and the car is chucking out blue smoke from the exhausts as he's revving it from idle, which it had never done before... I trusted him as it seemed they were a nice bunch of guys there... So then he's telling me my turbos are on the way out and they need replacing, and may as well get them done while I get my big ends done... Shit.

Hi all, having a bit of a problem, and thought someone might be able to shed some light on the situation :) My Zed won't go over 140. I've tried it with OD on and off! Took it to my Local Zed place (really helpful btw - Samurai Performance) and they kindly put the Conzult on it, did all the tests, came up Code 55. No history of errors either. He did a cylinder test and all that, things that I had no idea what it meant lol. All that happens is that it gets to 140 bloody fast, then hits the rev limiter, the dump valves make a sound like a train lol as it hits the limiter. It feels like it needs another gear. Weird! It's not like I do over 140 all the time but me and my pal in my Old Manual were having a little play with the Zeds last night and I just hit a brick wall at 140... Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance! :D

Happy birthday mate! :D

:ttiwwop: Had to do it sorry :wack:

If it's pre-buttered I'll take 8 slices. Otherwise no dice... :mac1:

Are we gonna organise a meet at Santa Pod at any point mate? Would be good to have a big bunch of us down there like the lakeside meet :) It's the perfect enviroment for a meet! :D Was brilliant with only a few of us :hyper:

Gor for Grilled cheese on toast with Lee and Perrins on top and Ketchup to dip it in... mmmmmmmmmm

My wife took those when we got back from the honeymoon...

Of places that supply alloy wheels and tyres that people have bought from? I think it would be helpful to have a little database of places that people have bought from, to help us standard alloy boys (and girls) out in making our decision. I'll start off... http://www.street-racers.co.uk/racer_shop_alloy_wheels.htm Any others would be really helpful, as it's a bit of a minefield out there, and I want some decent alloys without spending 2.5k for them lol

Okey dokey, cheers anyway :) I'm was gonna book it in with Ryan for a chip and boost upgrade and to get an oil guage connected so he said he'll take a look for me as I've got a bit of a knocking noise coming from the top of the engine now as well... He's only nearly 3 hours away... :rolleyes: Worth it though based on what everyone else has said about his quality of work and customer service. A rare thing these days... :smash: I'll feel a lot better once the "Godfather" of Zeds has had a look at it :) Hopefully it's nothing ;)
