mazda 3 mps
i was thinking (hoping) the same thing murmur, you probably wouldnt think twice about taking it on cos tbh it doesnt look lyk it would have that sort of power which is something you could never say about the 300zx, maybe there's only one way to find out then, saying that i dont think i could do it to her...not within the first wk anyway haha.

kerb weight is 1485kg, didnt realise it had the same engine as the focus rs, it would be interesting to see if anyones ever raced an rs or mps tho.

mazda 3 mps
hi, the girlfriends just bought one last wk on an 07 plate and iv gotta say is bloody quick but do you guys reckon it would it beat my 300zx tt manual? she's been trying to wind me up all wk saying how it would beat the zed, i took it out yesterday for the 1st time and it shifts but then they do have 257bhp, i had a corrado g60 celica gt4 and soarer tt prior to the zed and if im honest id say it would beat them all but then again so would the zed so wot do you all reckon and has anyone had any experience with them before? i refuse to be beating by sum mazda hot hatch haha.

whats it worth?
hi, due to a baby on the way it looks like i might have to do the unthinkable and get rid of my zed, its a 93 lwb import tt manual, 80,000 miles, imported in 2006, when i bought it i was told it had a performance ecu and the injectors had been upgraded, single exit exhaust pipe, is also has some sort of induction kit on (greddy i think) 18'' alloys with good tyres, targa roof, interiors in really good condition, the prob is its been parked up for the last few months so theres no tax or test on it, its also been painted in matt black (not everyones cup of tea) and has a littlepatch of rust on the back pass arch, hasnt gone all the way thru just on the outer skin, engine has a slight tap but took it to turbopacs in durham and was told it just needs a good service, all in all id say she was in good nick, just wondered what you guys thort she might be worth? thanks, craig.

Can i remove tyres myself?

Matt Black
mines painted in matt black mate, bought it like that and to be honest i cant wait to get it painted, it does looks different and i think it gives the car abit of a mean look which i liked wen i first got it but i noticed esp summer time wen i was parked nxt to the girlfreinds she must of just polished her cos it had a lovely deep shine and it made mine look shite, on the plus side any scratches or anything and its 3 quid a tin quick blast ova and its good as new

Engine knocking advice
iv got the same bother hudson, bought mine about 3 months back probs only done 500miles since then, it had a slight tapping that seemed to go once warmed up then a couple of weeks back developed in a knocking sound that wont go away, iv tried removing each coil pack whilst holding the revs at 2500 rpm to see if the knocking goes away as suggested by stellaz didnt make any difference though, so we are guna remove the sump tommoro and see whats what, hope you get yours sorted soon mate.

engine knocking
am hoping its guna be ok on the basis that since i heard the noise its only done around 10miles, was looking at an old thread from stellaz and thers a comment from mikeybean who says it can be done without taking the engine out, not really arsed if we hav2 cos weve got a hoist its just abit of a fanny on thats all, thanks for the replies.

engine knocking
oil pressure sems ok, its aftermarket greddy so would have thought it would be accurate, only started a couple of days ago, b4 that it was a slight tapping noise really only notice it with bonnet up but on tuesday pullin up to a junction i could hear it even tho i was in the car, lifted the bonnet and it was a definate knocking instead of a tapping.
-
engine knocking
yeah thats what it sounds like stellaz (shit) or well, im sure iv read on here somewhere that you can do it without taking the engine out? anyone know where id get the shells from or is it nissan only? i will try the coil pack procedure first tho just to make sure, anyone what sort of cost im looking at? brother will be doin the work so its cost only for parts, thanks for the info lads.
