Thanks guys. Hollandrob = Will wait for a bit then :-)

It's not the actual plate, it's the screw that goes in the middle of it to screw it onto the block. ;)

Hi, has anybody any idea where I can buy just the sandwich plate bolt/thread thing that screws into where the old oil filter goes? my old mechanic lost this and cannot use my cooler unless I find one. Cheers =)

AS you explained last night... you are using a tt lump on an n/a car now... loom and/or clock plug problem?? Thanks for the engine bud ;)

:asshole: yup.... he can kiss this for sure! lol

UPDATE... Terry came to help the other mechanic, took all the timing off, re-did it and it's still ill... They found loads of air leaks around the top end and when the car gets up to around 2000rpm still it has a loud cam sound. Oil pressure still low.... they both come to the conclusion that I need another new engine, so the guy who sold me this one was telling fibs. Great, anybody got a decent running engine? **(POSTED IN: ITEMS WANTED)**

lol you lot make me smile at least.... It's worth keeping the Zed just to be part of this :turned: All good advice too, cheers. It's looking like is going to be towed away to Terry (the 300 mechanic on here), he's going to help me and has offered to do it for next to nothing which is amazing... If things still don't look good then I will be calling on Jimmer. I was told tonight be this 'mechanic' it's knocking around 2000rpm but Terry explained it can sound like it if timing is wrong anyway. Doesn't knock at idle at all. Will keep you posted, all this info is being printed off ;)

OK thanks guys, I'll print this out and stick it up his arse... Besides... I wouldn't go to Currys and buy a half working TV!! I'd laugh at the guy serving me and walk out... thing is... this guy has me car ;-( I'll let you know how it goes. Much appreciated peeps xx

oh ok thanks, will advise the mechanic... He's telling me about 3k now to fix it!.... surely when the engine was out he should of renewed the bottom end even if his hunch told him it would be ok???

Even with an oil pressure problem? Surely timing would not cause this?

Hi guys. My mechanic just fired up the zed at last. He rebuilt top end from head up. Bottom end and oil pump was not touched as the lump I bought only done 30k The oil was perfect when the engine was taken apart. No lips on the pistons either. What happened was when they started it one bank was smoking for a few mins and running lumpy... But its still lumpy and they think its only running on 4 odd cylinders. The oil pressure guage they used only showed a bar of pressure and not much else. Absoluty everything is brand new apart from bottom end. We are thinking this... Could anyone shed any light please... Otherwise engine back out and new bottom end oil pump etc. Thanks. Ant

I see a gorgeous diamond white z with lovely hid's in the front, no front numberplate, also had rear lambo lights. Wicked looking car and would love to meet up to have a look. Looked so mint!

Shame, I'm crap with stuff like this and I will mess my interior ='{ Can someoe give me a prce to make a ully working set of red if I give them my sills??

I need.. NEEED a set... not want! Lmao :-D

Where can I buy this mod?

Jesus, you would sell lots of these... I have been after lit door sils

Yeah, rebuilding a new block as we speak, nearly done. Not sure I like those alloys, the brake calliper is a millimetre away from the brake calipers and had to take them off, if I tightened the wheel it would if been scraping the back of the alloy. Does anyone know a decent sized wheel spacer to bring the wheel out to level with the body, and so that it doesn't look silly??

I will reduce the pic size tomorrow on my pc... Sorry mods! :-$

Lol true and noting everything you say guys... New engine has just been finished, the top end is back and the only thing I'm waiting for now is the airbrushed throttle cover. Here is a taste, will post full project pics soon, it's taken over 4k and a year so far. This is why I won't be flying around in her! Lol

Damn, didn't save it... Here you go, just redone a quick one for you :-p They look funny, but it gives you an idea

hehe, you have a point. I'll PM you just to let you know if I have the arse or not after I've picked them up, then you can point and laugh at me if the gamble went pear shape lol It is a bit of a gamble; he only shows one wheel... but for that price it's not a bad punt - well fingers crossed ;-p

Cheers Mr. Polish :-p Where do they come from? lol

lol @ Zedzilla Yeah, should be happy, will get them touched up if they're a bit tatty. Never seen these before, photoshop'd them on the z and they look good

Hi guys, Just wondering, were these a good buy and/or what are they worth? Picking them up tomorrow. Paid 150 for 4 of them. 17 inch - Z Sport alloys. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230694168773
