Rebel Scum

Ive got a spare set of uk spec targa blinds you are more than welcome to have.....mines a jdm but had uk blinds which ive now replaced.are you going to zedworld on saturday?, as I can take them with me :)

Happy birthday jeff, all the best :)

all good now, removed the solenoid as per jeffs advice and the key comes out now with the turbotimer counting down :) Cheers jeff, and everyone else who replied

just dawned on me that when I did my passenger side targa drain yesterday I cleaned up all the corroded connectors in the passenger footwell and sprayed them with wd40, so perhaps the solenoid is working as its meant to as a result.thinking about it the beeper for reverse is also working now!.

No, stereo and everything will stay on as the turbo timer counts down, when it hits zero it all goes off.tbh its not a real problem as it normally counts down while im getting all my crap (fags, phone etc) together, then I take the key out.but it just seemed odd that for weeks ive been able to remove the key when on countdown but now I cant.

The turbo timer was plug and play with one of those looms that just plugs in Could something be out on the park position on the shifter cos its an auto?

Cheers jeff, will have a look tomorrow :)

If I turn the key and press the button the button wont depress and release the key, but as soon as the engine stops the button will depress and release the key.if I switch the turbo timer off, turn the key to off and press the button the key will come straight out.

For the last couple of months since fitting a greddy turbo timer I have been able to take the key out and the engine will run until the end of the countdown. For some reason I now cant remove the key until the countdown finishes and the engine shuts down, the key will then come out as normal by pressing the little button. Has anyone come across this?

Cheers guys, will order one tomorrow all being well :)

ok mate, will be in touch

have got stuff going on at the mo,but may be free the weekend after next, will let you know.

does anyone know the part number for the perspex strip, plain one with no brakelight?

Used a piece of aircraft grade stainless steel tube I had knocking about ;) Hi sayers, would give you a hand one of the days, even though it was a p.i.t.a, lol.Wednesfields Brum way isnt it?. Have got to delve back in tomorrow to tidy the wiring up a bit better as I ran out of time today as had stuff to do.

Spent most of the morning sorting out my passenger side targa drain, and decided to change the pipe completely rather than try to stretch it.i put a small steel sleeve in the end so I could attach the rubber piece that goes through the body with a small hose clip so it wont come off again. Biggest headache was the corroded connectors where water had been running on them, a couple broke and needed re-wiring which was a pain as there isnt a lot of room, but at least they should stay nice and dry now. :)

As per the title, does your zed have a name? Mines called Beatrix (after Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill...aka The Black Mamba) :)

so what, other than the ecu cover and the kick panel, do you have to take off to refit the end of the hose???

My daughter is called kelly :)

Cheers, they do polish up as its a full stainless Mongoose system (no cats) with CustomChrome custom made downpipes and tailpipe tips. In the words of Peter Griffin 'shes a dirty girl' as she hasnt been washed for a week and looks a bit Mad Max, lol.will give her a wash tomorrow all being well. :)

Cheers jeff, if you take the 4th pic down whereabouts is the drain tube situated?

have just spent a productive hour and a half removing half a ton of white silicon sealer( not a good look on a black car!!!) from under my drivers side targa,cleaned it all up and lubed the wind deflector thingy so its all nice and free and poured some penertrating oil down the drain hole (figured it would be better than water if hose was disconnected ;) ), and it came out the bottom as it should,just behind the front wheel. did the same on the passenger side (no sealer this time), poured the penetrating oil down, but no sign of it underneath!. i know the drivers side is a pain to do but what about the passenger side???, how easy is it to get to the end of the hose to re-attach it and is there much to remove to get to it???

cheers, its getting better all the time as i keep doing bits and bobs to it.

i think so, was just going to do the indicator lenses but thought sod it i'll do the lot.took a while to cut the old lenses out so it just left a frame to attach the clear ones to.have got another pair to do, but will wait a while i think, still finding black stuff from this set!!!

thought it was about time i put a few updated pics up, including my homemade clear rear lights.....what do you think :)

Always think its best to have a dyno run with an open mind, I ran my 3.0 calibra on one back in the summer and to be honest was only hoping for somewhere near standard power and anything else would be a bonus, so when I get 197bhp and 216lb/ft of torque I was happy.if the cars running sweet and the engines in good condition I wouldnt worry, as while it is nice to say you have xxxbhp you can only go so fast plus the fact that if you drive slower everyone else gets a good view of the zed!
