Exhaust elbows
yes I did, but it has been said i have psychic spanner powers and can will a spanner into doing just about anything. jokes aside, the top two are a bit of a pita, the bottom are piss easy, the heat shield may cause you issues but you can "convince" them off easy. just make sure you flood them with plently of wd40 before you start and go carefull, snapping a spud would be disastrous. I cant remember which way round it is but two are captive studs with a nut that winds on 12mm I think and the other have bolts that go into the turbo housing. when refitting you will probably find you have to do the top ones up by hand first to get enough clearance as they foul on the downpipe if you try to do it in the reverse order.

a few electrical faults help pls ..
the heater thing is normal I believe with series one climate control, it blows hot air over the windscreen first. then eventually once its satisfied it will blow it out the vents, you cannot pic and choose where it blows air, that's why people switch to the later climate control modules. but as rolands said you don't need a cd player its a car not a stereo.

Smoke from rear of engine
Sounds like leaky rockers too me, however if you havent done many miles since your hicas leak was fixed thereis still going to be loads of atf to burn ogf on the exhaust etc.

Replacement turbocharger?
T25 is the stock item, you will have to replace with a match obviously. Prices for a rebuild are around £ 3/400 a side, or you can rebuild them yourself
-
power steering pump needed??
yes definatly bleed the system out, jack the front end up, and rock the wheels from lock to lock slowly with the cap off and the strainer out, if air bubbles come up as you turn its got an air lock. speed it up, if you go too fast to soon it will spill over, keep topping up then once it stops bubbling turn the engine on and repeat. as far as rebuilding the pump is concerned its a piece of piss, cheaper than buying new but not cheaper than a second hand one.

Zed is trying to smoke me out
Have a look down the back of the block, to the right of the master cylinder, they run from here to two uprights that turn through 90 degrees and go into the centre of the back of the block. You will see two 20mm ish diameter hoses, running from the back of the block through the firewall, that's them..... just connect one to the other and your bypassed. In regards to the manual conversion, getting that damn peddle box in is the hardest part, you may find it easier to pop out the clocks to allow you to push/pull the cables about to move it into place, im sure ian will sort that out in that respect.

Focus RS
The z32 sadly isnt the fastest thing in the world esp round the bends. However the st in particular is a bit overrated, 350s are quite comparable over the quater and they do struggle to get the power downthrough the corners, stock. However the power curve is very available and the geometry from stock is pretty good, so I recon it would come down to the driver round a track, over a quater pretty sure youd take him but not walk by. I have raced one and sat on his bumper the whole way, couldnt pass him though, however I was still on my slipy autobox with a life of its own.

Zed is trying to smoke me out
I was thinking that, fluctuating tempretures indacte air locks and fluid re-entering the matrix. could be a pin prick, but it certainly sounds like it was bloody hot. check your fluid levels, and I wouldn't drive it until you've solved it as you will quickly kill your zed without enough fluid/air locks.

zed in garage
Not sure why youd do that...:s
