ive done two differnt rwd car gearboxes on the drive but niot a zed. its fine tbh just takes a little longer and limits your access get the whole thing up off teh floor all four corners taht will help. MAKE SURE ITS STABLE!!! then get stuck in the higher you cabn get it off the floor the easier your life will be the hardest bit for me has always been getting the thing back on, even if the clutch is 100% aligned, i balance it on my chest and lift.

Engine Question
you can do the belt yourself more than lkily. or a local garge could... do it. i know most guys wont trust there cars anywhere other than a few places but to tighten the belt is another thing. its simly a case of slankening the belt off repositioning it so its tight then, bolting it back in place. do a sreach its not a big job at all. have you inspected the belts to check if its loose or worn??

hubcentric spacers
no need, if your going down taht route simply buying wheels taht are manifactured to the correct offset is fine, one two or even three piece. the problem arises when buying second hand rims finding the offset you want becomes a little more challenging.

to ice or not to ice?
General consenus feeling really. Is it ok to ram 18 billion watts worth of eletrical hardware into your zed? or does the car lend itself to a more subtle approach that doesnt require so much stuff. IS it rice to ice in your opinion :D my opinion is the zed is focused enough to not need a stero at all. my previous car didnt the pur of the engine and lack of stero made it thjat more special to drive.

feul additives.
opinions and technical bumf appricated. basically i threw some red ex something or other feul injector cleaner throuigh my car that supposed to clean them up and give you better mpg and raise octane numbers. both me and my my father tryed it he has an rx8. after about 200 miles he hit a flat spot followed by alot of crap that came out the rear and since then the car has never driven better, more resposive tec so he says. and i too tbh did have something simular i took it out for a blast crap came out and it ran/runs much better, feels miore responsive etc and seems to produce better acceration higher up the rev range. it also seems to have cured the pulsing i had at full boost. should i contine to use this product to give me higher octane ratinga nd keep the injectors clean or should i pop it on the shelf and forget about it? maybe it was all in my head...? i did wonder wether the increased octane rating agreed with the car more because its a jspec and never been ajdusted ti run on lower rating english feul. was thinking about using another product they do for cleaning cataylic convertors
