So... Who`s in the final line up for Jae 2011?
If you pay for a weekend ticket you can come park on the club stand, other wise you will be directed to park in the public car park out side the event and have to walk in, you will also have to leave the site before night fall. Daz the marquee is already set up, me and groover will be fighting with the gazebo on the Thursday for set up. and hopefully it wont bloody rain.

Is this the end of my Zed? (Contains big-ish pics)
MJP does sills and inner sills for around £180 per side, where on earth did you get yours from, and his are genuine. But yes its fix able and any competent welder will be able to sort that out, nothing wrong with getting the floor pan done if done correctly, very savable, but the side skirt will have to be removed. I know of a few restoration jobs that have had to basically fabricate the whole underside of the car to restore a classic, as said if done properly nothing to it, the metal will be just as strong as when it rolled out of the factory. But as bri already said, it would be more dependant on whether its financially viable.

ECU throwing up error code 53
well thats not exactly handy for those who haven't :winkiss:

ECU throwing up error code 53
the one at the back in the middle is for the DET sensor, that would be code 34 matey lol The sensor connector your looking for will be mounted just above the boost solenoids if they haven't been moved and come up from the O2 sensor on the turbo elbow, if indeed he has a turbo. will be more or less the same location for the N/A as long as it comes from the 02 sensor on the manifold.

Wing Mirror removal?
take the plastic triangle off from inside the car, there are 3 x 10mm bolts inside, once removed, make sure your holding onto the mirror and then unclip it from inside the car and feed the wire out through the hole simples. Helps to remove the door card lol

Whats up here then...tech thread
was going to say there was a serious air leak into the lower plenum, by the looks of some of the marks where the gasket should of sat, looks like they replaced the plenum but not the gasket causing an air leak, they then thought that by adjusting the cas unit it was the timing out?

Different rear view mirror???
Chris's is fantastic and sits well, i find it just right, ask him to have a look at JAE if your going.

Airlock on bypass pipe
will do that after JAE, cars running quite good at the moment, all cylinders firing, smooth idle, holding its temp. Bit sluggish though like the turbos aren't kicking in, though could be due to the Auto box on manual turbos. so not sure, considering it doesnt bloody change gear like its supposed to.

Different rear view mirror???
Artztogo has, well its a bigger clip on one that goes over the OEM mirror, makes a substantial difference to what you can see out the rear window. I always feel im trying to see through a letter box when looking in the OEM one.

Airlock on bypass pipe
its supposed to be 10litres for the coolant system, but yeah im finding im still topping it up, yet no wet spots under the car. so must still have air in the system some where, i do get hot air in the cabin when i put the temp up through the system, and i had the front raised when putting the coolant in to start with. I do have a strange bearing noise from the water pump area, im just wondering if my thermos is opening or not when it comes up to temp.
-
Airlock on bypass pipe
engines not running hot, gauges and consults are both showing engine temp at 87 degrees.
-
Airlock on bypass pipe
seem to have a airlock on my drivers side turbo bypass water pipe, when the cars up to temp and you switch the ignition off, you can hear it bubbling any ideas how to get it cleared. i cant take the pipe off and fill with water as all it does is leak out of the pipe it connects too.
