Sub box
yes mate i,ll be there . still fiddling with mine but getting there . the thing with zeds is the shape and lack of internal air space which is needed to feed the speekers . often the best way to go is to tone down the system to allow it to work properly . for example , smaller subs work more efficently and therefor produce better sound in the tight space . its all trial and error but would be glad to have a look daffy . also speekers need to be run for a while to condition the rubber before final adjustments . andy

Brighter headlights
the only way to go mate is H.I.D . around £40 for the complete kit . go for 6000k as these give the best light without tinting blue

O2 Sensor Socket
i recently bought an 02 sensor socket and it was next to useless to be honest . theres not enough of the nut showing to get a good bite on it . as mentioned above , break off the old ones with a metal bar and use a normal 22mm socket . the new ones havent gotta go back in that tight so just nip them up with a spanner. inportant point when removing the old ones is to spray them up with wd40 and work them back and fourth to protect the threads . this bit of advice came from the zedworld guys so well worth taking note of.

Lets try the Zedworld bash again!
i,ll be there . looking forward to seeing everyone

Interia Referb!!
theres some good leather covers available from the states . only about £200-250 i think . some of the members on here have used them and the result is really good . as for the door cards and panels lots have gone down the D.I.Y route and if you are prepared to put the hours in the results can look amazing . if you do the work yourself £300 should give you a bespoke interior . theres lots of threads on here to look at offering advice on how to and how not to from members who have done recovers . well worth a look. good luck with it and hope it turns out as good as some of the others on here. andy

heated mirror upgrade
cheers graham . that will save a load of time with the test lamp . due to there being a relay for the rear defogger should it be a timed push on the button . i had this on previous cars where the defogger stayed on for 10 mins then cut off . the reason i ask is mine stays on indefinately

heated mirror upgrade
the later ones are heated . early ones need a mod . its quite a simple and worthwhile mod to do . a bit fidly but only about 30 mins per mirror .

heated mirror upgrade
im currently in the process of upgrading jap mirrors to take uk heated glass . ive put in all the additional cable through the jap motors and fitted the new heated units . my initial intention was to route the new cabling to the rear of the rear window defrost switch and splice in so that they operate with the rear window . my query is , is there a live feed already in the door lume that is activated by the rear window defrost button . ideally this is the best option for connection . alternately does anyone know the colour of the cable feeding the rear heated window and the route it takes to the back from the front . just trying to save a bit of time digging around under the carpet . cheers andy

How not to make it look like a GTR
cant make my mind up about it . i think if you lost the black at the front it would look a lot better

Having alloys widened
you can have wheels belted to increase the size of the rim but to be honest im not sure whether you would be better off just fitting spacers or just getting another set of wider alloys

Fog light switch question
agree with you rich . we turn em on and turn em off as we need them . if it wasnt for the mot test most of us wouldnt have fog lights at all seeing as most zeds are import . as regards to having front fogs on and not rear fogs and the recommend reading material being suggested . no comment
