The nicest spoiler in the world.. but is it worth it?
The reason for its width : to follow-on the natural curves of the cars lines.

The nicest spoiler in the world.. but is it worth it?
Wether its worth it is only something you can answer for yourself. As for me, I like it from the rear view.....but dislike how the rest of it looks so "stuck on" , perhaps if it could be blended in it would look good. As for disliking flush offsets - done correctly, this only has postive affects on the way it drives, increasing the vehicle track improves traction and stability. Your right about Stretched tyres, they are just stupid and Im not a fan of high spoilers either.

Who has the most powerful ZX in the UK?
The current top 10 from dyno board list : Although it needs fixing/sorting out- as Bobgenies is at the hubs, and madmax is at the flywheel. Needs to be consistent I believe the others are correctly listed as rwhp. note: bobgenie and CJ is the same car, with different owners and some changes.

New go faster switch :)
Very nice !. Im not usually a fan of red, but that looks fantastic. The Black roof works really well, as does the red carpet matching the red seats..etc And some very impressive power results there too.

If you want to keep the blue, then as Boomin mentioned, cream goes nicely with it.

The blue dash and Carpet is extremely rare, you wont find many pics of it at all. Apache's is one. My slicktop had the blue interior, but I replaced the entire lot as soon as I got it. I think MickeyBean has one and I've seen pics of one other somewhere.

s2 heater ecu
Its been a very long time since I removed one, but I seem to recall it only being held onto the metal plate by 2 small screws. Have to remove the ducting..etc and rubber pipe that goes to the ducting, and use a small electrical style screwdriver. Its definatly a pita to get to

Rear side markers and front side markers...
if yours has them then they are inside rear bumper, near where the rear side marker location.
-
Rear side markers and front side markers...
Some have the loom and connectors for the rear side markers already there, some dont. Its unclear which have it though as I've seen older and newer models with it, and many of the same age and inbetween without it.

Hicas
I've said why I believe the system was developed in the first place, during that era, in a competing market where manufactuers were constantly trying to bring new marketable features. Lots of cars at the time were being released with things like rear steering, electric aero spoilers..etc Im not saying its a bad system, what I've done is listed the differnet reasons owners often disable it. Its great that your happy with how the car handles now, but you'd probably want to drive a non-hicas equipped Z before coming to such definate conclusions on its handing benefits. You can very easily tempoarily diable the hicas yourself by shorting the terminals to the connector that goes to the PAS resevoir. You can even wire in a switch which I've done for quite a few owners so they can switch between hicas enabled/disabled at will, tricking the system into thinking there is a problem. ahe hicas light will come on to indicate the system is disabled Providing your hicas arms/joints are in good condition, this will give an insight into the difference as the hicas is hydrualic locked in place without the electrical signal input. tbh, most owners usually report that they dont really notice much difference....but not all owners are enthusiastic drivers. As for me, personally, and at the risk of coming across very arrogant :blush:- I've driven far more z's of all types than most owners have ever even seen in their lifetime and when rebuilding my latest Z, I opted to go for a complete NA rear subframe setup for many reasons, including becuase I prefer how the car feels on the limit without hicas.

pics requests , spoilers
Great pic, car looks fantastic. Wheels, spoiler and lights really freshen up the Z from its dated origins.

Kaze Aerocraft kit
here you go. There is a very good reason why there are so few pics of it(the spoiler) :p

Kaze Aerocraft kit
Zogg has the same front bumper (Zcentre sell its as the "Blade"), but everything else is different.

Side repeators?
The full mot rules database can be found online. But if by corner marker dummys...you mean the fronts on a UK car, then that is exactly where the standard front indicators are on all Import Z's

911 996 coupe or cabrio
What I meant by status symbol, is the difference between those that buy a car becuase they are a car enthusiast and choose it for the cars own merits and those that know nothing about cars or care about the actual car, they just buy to flash the cash. Nothing like a typical Zed owner. Absolutely fair point about buying the one you want, buy he wanted opinions on why we would choose one or the other.

911 996 coupe or cabrio
Coupe, for sure. Better looking and a better sports car. The Cab is a purchased as a ****ers status symbol; everything that gives porsche owners a bad name.

Help needed
You can get hold of a used one, although to make sure you get a known good one your best bet is probably to buy from Zedworld. if you want to buy new, then speak to MJP (Telephone : +44 (0)1277 374201) - They are in the forum traders section. Alternernatively the bushes (the actual part that is worn on the arm) can be replaced if the garage has access to a bushing press. MJP or zcentre.co.uk should be able to supply these.
