yeh there like a dark sparkly charcoal orginally. i brought a new set last year.

thats a man i need to rember lol. dont forget guys though youve gotta add on the most expensive ferry in the world lol.

theyre grey from factory incase you where wondering.. but basically there are loads of little oplastic screws holding it down. coems apart in two pices small side first then lifts off after you have removed the wippers. be carefull with it though.

id lift teh rear 10 mm mate then worst case you will have a drop nose look and muscle car stance.

yehs thats cool hopefully by then il be lowered a bit myself, ive got some new shocks coming, just gotta fit them lol. gotta get on with that meet arragement aswel, just so damn busy atm cant believe its 10pm already ive got a list of things to do still.

thats the hard thing really. i just dont know. i got made redundant about two years ago, and thought it would be the ideal time to get the state to help me understand what im eligable to do and what is out there. but i was really disappointed with the way the job centre handled my case. they just wanna get you working at mc ds, not interested in helping you progress. thats not right imo. they should be helping us find a proper job not just throwing us at the first one that will take us for minium wage. even looking on teh job sites and local papers throws up littl;e in the way of real work. i earn about 14k a year atm with some perks, company van etc. i dont have toomany out goings these days, but i would love to get a proper job. i just dont even know where to start, works pretty thin on the groud here aswel. well real jobs wise, plently of hotel jobs and resaurant jobs etc etc tourist trade and the like but its all poorly paid. i was working as an apprentice fabricator before i was made redundant but finding work in that field is tough atm, plus after reviewing the health issues i was put off the job. ive worked in retail at low level management a few times earning about what i earn now, but god i hate customers in shops! i did look into joing the police or the ambulance service but theyre on massive cutbacks and not taking people on really. im up for anything really aslong as it pays well, isnt so boring you go insane and doesnt involve checkouts lol. or 4 years of training at a silly wage rate. i have 4 a levels, and passed all my gcses at at least a c apart from french which i got an e lol whoops. i could have gone to uni but opted not to as i didnt trust myself not to party too hard and i didnt think it would actually give me a better chance, it certainly hasnt helped my mates.

well mines lwb and ui recon tehrs about a 40 odd maybe nearer 50mm gap between tyre and arch. on the rear fron is much much closer maybe 30mm its about double visually i guess

i thought about posting my cv on here and asking you guys for advice before myself actually. being 25 this year a career is really required. its touigh out there atm for everyone. getting started on the ladder is just stupid. I would love to earn even 20k a year.

pretty sure im standard. front 657 rear 670 measurementr taken from the floor to the bottom of the arm where the liner meets. obvuioulsy could be a few mm here and there cars on gravel atm

its the pebbles in teh road you will hit on the front splitter. there is a limit and its not taht far due to camber issues. but honestly most will tell you very little is the right amount to lower. about 20mm. the lowest part on mine is the exhaust, even at standard height most speed bumps are a challenge

ahh barce, went there a few years back with the guys and our bmxes. awesome city. guess its a nightmare to live there though.

yeh, rad, thermostat and new water pump are all on the list of things to do and more importantly BUY :( figiured while ive got it apart may aswel do the pump and the hoses keep it all resh :D

isnt 20mm the limit on standard camber arms? i should be reciving some lower shocks this week. around a 20mm drop il post up before and after pics once done.

sorry let me rephrase that im confident it will get there what im not confident about is getting stuck in summer traffic with ahot engine...

well we could always get a few of us down there. its every first friday, i might pop down and do a reccy. the zed might be too good to be there :D

i brought one of these the other day. it wasnt in the polishing section but in the body work reapirs ilse. with the fibreglass etc. i used it ona drill and whilst it came out ok, i would say something with a little more grunt would be required to get a perfect finish.

do you chaps reconthe zedw ould be eligable to show up for this. pretty sure its a fairly relaxed show. help on the quayside the first friday of every month in poole dorset. hrmmm

yhe the fronts aint right. lol the rears are hero though

i was thinking about going to this but im not confident in the zed, to get me there lol

poll should be created to stop him breaking this one. lol, nice buy jim. hopefully you will be driving it soon.

a few of the local guys hae had 7s apprantly there super juicey one had one running 400bhp and that ran single figures, they have a bad rep for relaibilty, which as gonzo said is mostly related to poor mainatince. however an engine that needs rebuilding after 60k miles is in my mind a poor design. they are fot an entusiast who has money to lavish on them. but thy are one of the prettiest cars ever produced. my father owns an 8 and is constantly threanting to sell it. hes had it for three years it cost him alot of money at the time. now its worth sod all, its the 231 model and its slow. my standard zed leaves it standing. the feul ecconomy is awful, for a modern car and he does lots of motor way miles. it has an unsual quirk that is seriously dissappointing. if used on a quick run, ie not long enough to warm the engine... you can go back and it wont start as its flooded itself! you then have to turn the engine over which the feul relay out till it bursts into life, kicks out loads of black smoke then runs fine. he did this twice before investigating its cause. so basically if he has to move it off the drive he has to leave it running on the drive for 5/10 minutes to warm up to stop the issue. not impressive. high milage models suffer lots of internal issues just like the 7. on a positive note its surprisingly spacious and can be picked up for a bargin second hand now. if you want a cheap run about buy one the rx series are not an ideal second run about car imo. go buy a vectra for the school run keep the zed for fun times.

yup dave is right i have this its a total pain. only end up using a third of the speedo.

hey where goning to be having a meet in hampshire over the next few weeks come along?

service it, tahtw ay your future proofing it. you can drive it serivced with a auto box what you cant do it drive it with a manual box and a fubared engine because you opted to manual first

i watched it but i cant remeber what happened. has it got gerrad butler in it? or that gamer im thinking of
