stock ecu map and boost
Your likely to be safe up to about 12psi, although if its an Import then your risking detonation without getting it proplerly mapped for Uk fuels, plus you wont see the true potential without a decent remap. for the sake of £75 I would get an uprated chip fitted.

worst car for reliability?
I think the only unreliable car I've ever owned is a mk3 Ford escort about 10 years ago, it was always a worry just driving to the local shop.

SW REO - Im thinking about standing down. . . .
Guys/Gals.....Im thinking about standing down as SW REO.....main reason being that I just dont have the time (and tbh...the enthusiasm) for it anymore :( ..and this has probably become obvious to all recently.... I could persuade myself to keep going if there was'nt anyone else to take over, so this thread is really about asking who would be up for replacement. Whoever it is would need to understand the need to cater for the whole SW region....From Gloucester down to Cornwall, with regular monthly meets on regular dates..... The role would need to be officially announced by Commitee and voted upon, this is just to give a heads up really.....

Zed Dry Sumping?
Im dry sumping my new engine in the zed, although its not a VG lump. Advantages of Dry sump : * Being able to lower the main engine into the bay further, which lowering centre of gravity to improve handling and balance. * Larger oil capacity * No oil sloshing around, and pooling in the sump under hard acceleration, braking and turning. * Increased power from less resistence on the crank. * more consistent oil pressure, * adjustable oil pressure * improved scavenging * increased ring seal due to greater pan vacuum.

resistor in det. sensor
Take the car out for a drive, and get it into positive boost, then test for ECU codes without switching the ignition off. code34 (det sensor) often does'nt occur until the car is taken into boost.

rough value of this Z ??
are you looking to buy or sell ? Im guessing buy from your quote "apparantly will run" Its worth about £2.5-£3k in bits.

Smoking from exhaust
...no he means turbo seals, not exhaust gaskets. In such a case, smoke is caused by oil leaking past the turbo seals and burning in the exhaust. However, its worth getting the car checked at a specialist to confirm that is the problem, as there are various causes for smoke...and smoke diagnosis can be difficult.

Smoking from exhaust
If you got a garage to do then your looking at £1200-£1500 to get the engine out, turbos reconditions and engine put back in. Unfortunatly Changing exhaust will not resolve issue, at best it could tempoarily hide the issue.

Since both are stock except wheels, it would be easier to photoshop your wheels onto Daves car, then alter the colour balances to get a yellow you liked best.

Suspension set-up advice
It will depend on your own prefences. Start with 2 front, 4 rear. These are the middle settings. 2 and 4 suit most for road use, and you'll want to turn them up for track use.
