stock turbo's
They are TB22, they are a T25 hybrid (smaller than regular T25 on the exhaust side).

Interesting quote on effects of wheel weight
Unsprung Weight is definatly the best place for weight removal, next is Drivetrain. Less unspring weight improves handling, steering, braking more than any other weight removal. Less Drivetrain weight improves response and power to the rear wheels more than any other weight removal. I would'nt consider Rota wheels as being lightweight. They make cheap copies of the big name brands, but most of there wheels do weigh less than a lot of the cheapie single piece stuff made in china thats about.

Help required - what model / price??
Yep, a slicktop TT Manual - 300hp. It is rare, and there is probably less than 50 in the UK (more like 10-15) , but its not a special edition in itself. Are you aware of any other modiciations - Chipped ECU, boost conntroller ? ..etc Wheels look nice and appears to be lowered.

Getting one of these fitted (ebc)
Its a Great boost controller, I used to have the E-01. You have bigger injectors and Intercoolers as well then ? , otherwise dont run more than 14/15 psi max after its custom map.

Do autos use more fuel?
I dont know enough about new car technlogy in regards to modern cars, but in general autoboxes are less efficient than Manuals, creating more drivetrain friction and power losses which would all equate to more fuel usage.

Difference between 068 and 088 batteries?
Interesting...different sizes. 068 is the battery originally intended for the zed.

Power Door Locks
The yellow connector is the part that fixed to the exterior door lock. I cant make out from the pics where the motor is supposed to be fixed to in its current position, but it should fix to the cable that goes to the interior door lock lever next to the open door lever. Its a cable inside a sleeve.

Difference between 068 and 088 batteries?
As far as Im aware the 068 just preceeds the 088. Same fitment

The best looking zeds of all time?
I thought they were Spoon SW-388 copies They weigh nearly twice as much as the Spoons
-
The best looking zeds of all time?
Yeh, Rota's are cheap copies of the top brand wheels, but they are heavier and lower quality. They are used a lot on drift at amateur levels becuase of cost to purchase and replace and they are a lot better than the other cheap brands out there.

Some pics
Nice clean example you have there.

Poly bushes for the diff
For the subframe bushes I burned mine out to get rid of the rubber, then used a combination of hacksaw, hammer and chisel to get the shells out. The trouble is finding somewhere with a big enough bushing press to handle an entire subframe. There is a guide on the net somewhere of the above procedure...will see if I can find it.

not a happy bunny
You will be lacking mid and low ranges with the fronts. The door space it too small for hitting any real bass. You want to filter out the low ranges to your components and only have them playing High and mid range, while your Sub handles the Bass. They will sound pants till you get the sub fitted.

My 1 piece prop
Yep, thats fine. The SWB version is a lot shorter, 6inches. They offer the same benefits as a Lightweight flywheel and crank pulley - Less rotational mass which equates to better reponse, quicker acceleration and more power to the rear wheels.
