Spotted a black zed in car park 15 on Warwick campus about 9:30 today, might still be there.

That was my poor old car. To be honest I was thinking of selling it soon anyway and was worried I wouldn't even get that much for it as it was starting to get rather haggard so I'm happy with how things turned out really. Just got the fun of getting a new car now, not sure what to get though... Anyways, it was a fun first car to own!

Cheers to everyone who's done the survey so far, it's really helpful! As for engine layout it's pretty much a given that the car is MR/RR due to the size of the vehicle etc (google formula student if you want a better idea). As for the driver involvement you have a good point there and that's part of what I was getting at by separating ease of driving from cornering ability etc. (I would add in an extra section about involvement but I've got the maximum number of free questions....). I'll put up anything interesting that happens with the project as it progresses.

I'm taking part in the Formula Student class 2 entry at uni and we're hoping to do a bit of research into what people actually want from a single seater track day car. So I've made a quick survey (takes less than 5 mins to do) and hopefully some of you guys can do me a big favour and fill it in. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/X7LQVMV If you think there's anything major that you'd want from a car like this which isn't mentioned in the survey then feel free to post it here, it'd be really helpful. Cheers, Jim

Can't remember where exactly I saw it in Coventry but it had Ferrari rear lights.

Yeah it's been a couple of times to be checked over. Seems to be good mechanically, just looks tatty.

I've got a 1991 UK, as I said it's pretty tired out but I'm hoping to get it looking a bit more presentable over the winter. Still it's worked out as an interesting first car, more fun than a Corsa/Polo/etc would have been but it seems to have a habit of going wrong roughly every 2 months in some way or other, I guess that's to be expected to some degree of a car nearly 20 years old.

Sounds like a nice car, mine's pretty haggard at the moment. I'm hoping to start fitting it with some nice new parts and bits of trim this term at uni. I might have to drop by the Med school campus some time, I'd bring my zed but it's shameful....

I'm a student that owns a zed :P

Saw it on the way into uni, didn't get much of a look but I'd be interested to see who's nearby.

Also here's a few pics of the zed when I first got it seeing as I never put any up orriginally: The spoiler isn't looking so good any more though:

Well it's a few more months down the line and I'm thinking of playing with the boost settings, how many ponies would be expected at about 13-14 psi? Also what are boost injectors? Are they just larger ones essentially? Where's the best place to get some of these or a boost controller? Reading back through the posts I don't seem to have any of the typical stage 1 upgrades. I think I just have the different ECU, it was Zedworld who told me about it, I wouldn't know the difference probably. On a side note are Mongoose exhausts any good? How do they compare sound wise to the stock exhaust.

I tried that but I had no luck, garage in the morning....

I don't know if it's new, I've never looked before really, though it wasn't like that in the spring I think when I got the engine oil changed. It was at Zedworld in April or May so it's only been like that a couple of months max. Something tells me I'm ringing the local Nissan garage tomorrow and getting a train and taxi to work....

Here's a couple of pictures of the diff: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
