i think being totally honest you should learn to weld, its something you will always use its no whete near as bad as it seems i would teach you if i where closer. look at this way once upon a time you couldnt do mechanics. now your happily popping the engine in and out of a zed. we all have to start sum where. take your time get your weld on and take some brave pills. the engine and box are half done arnt they. the shell will take time, mig welding is quite easy to pick up most of it will be tacking up not running lines. honestly mate you will be laughing at it once you learn

awesome and simple conversion only interesting bit is the wire modifactions, pop some pics up when done :D

sorry mate if its tub seals caused my decatting putting them back will not reverse or halut the problem. from your previous stuff though when the issue started i would say its pcv related, its probally just whats left burning off could take a few 1000 miles for it to all burn off. so hopefully its just that. :D

same i was told that they wont touch anyone at till there 25 on anything and for teh zed you have to be 30

take it to zedworld, or jimmer. might be some extra travel but there are far too many places out there that know diddly squat about the zed and just cause you more hassele than its worth. too many horror stories of "jap specialist" garages about that have cocked up. take it to a zed specilist it will be cheaper in the long run possibles in the short run also. and the work will be done properly

not worth buying in my opinion not unless its so cheap and for breaking

it was my understanding taht the acid etch goes on first before the primer.

seems a little low that ohming. anyways tcheck taht you definatly have a spark at the plug by grounding it to the plenum, dont touch the engine when you do this or use a spark detector only costa few quid. then check the injector is pulsing with the aid if a long screw driver, you should hear the same rhmum on each injector. i would likly say that its either a faulty connection or a faulty injector.

have you primed it with acid etch primer? i know when i did my spoiler i was told this was essential for spraying ontop fibreglass.

we really a great bunch of people. ha

yeh it will do with teh flash on, hope you didnt take that all as critisisum, was only trying to be productive. make sure you laqour things when your happy with them else you will be repeating the process after 12 months.

hopefully sky will quote me comfortably atm for renewal which i may renew if its suitable, then re quote myself once i hit the 25. although sky tried to tell me that 25 makes no differnce. however i dont see how that can be seeings as i have far far more options for comapnies once i hit the magic 25. lynbrook wont touch me till im 30 and heritage etc all want me to be 25

you will probally struggle, to get those deeper scratches out now. yopu need to go back a few steps unfortunatly, get a scotch bright pad for and angle grinder this should take out those lighht scratches. then its back to sizle and compound. you can use a soft mop and some autosol for the final super mirror finish. be carefull though because it will go everywhere. its all to do with direction aswel, i can see how you have worked round the cas you should cut the whole thing at 45 degress then reverse the 45 cutting across the grain. dont add another direction though and for the final mopping just do one direction. :)

well im due to renew in about a month now but my 25th birthday is round the corner in september. how much impact will turning 25 actually have on insurance prices??? and what should i do in the mean time?

i would love love love one, in carbon!

mine only comes on when i wish to cruise at motorway speeds. its junk with it on.

agreed, it needs an 8 the zed needs an 8 to be perfect. why not twin turbo a v8? :D

heat is your friend whilst applying.

Right ive had the front end up in the air, it was nice and light. Ran it from lock to lock. for about 20 minutes, loads of large bubbles worked out. I did this till they stopped, put the car back on the ground sod all happened. its still very heavy, there is no differnce to the steering weight with the engine on or off what so ever! this is really pissing me off now, cars been off the road for over a month for a silly p/s leak which is now fixed everything is back but now i have no powered steering!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR

i had that lkast week pain in teh ass.

accordinly the hicas will not prime itself this way, it has to be bled like a hydralic brake. this could begin to be a pain in the ass

hrm..... cant do it now will wake the neighbourhood up. is it usual for them to be stubborn to prime after they ahve been dry for a little while.

so im best lifting the front end and working it from lock to lock that way? with the engine running i assume

i did when i was doing lock to lock but not when i was driving it obviously.

its not all about performance its about satistics aswel, i know when i looked about for a car the zed was far cheaper than a skyline of any sort or m3 because they have a stigma to them
