I am pretty sure they are the same. You don't necessarily need the rod? Just the bush. I got mine from mjp I think, ~£40.

A pre 94 zed can legally run without a cat iirc, that'd be a slight performance advantage to consider.

Hello Alek. Have a read round this forum mate. There is FAQ style info here, but also someone will be along in a minute to link up some helpfull stuff for you. You are after a very desirable car. You could get a great manual TT for 4 to 6 grand. A white one... late model :-/ could ve a long wait or top price. If you buy one in open forum here people will speak their mind either "thats a good price" or whatever. Plus you will get a sound car and some history and support. :clover:

That's why I swapped my chicken wire in my grille for deer hexagons.

I've done... 4 track days. All of them the car was scrutineered, everyone had to wear a proper helmet (and have long sleeves on I think).

Yeah it was Gary, the two drivers were not long away from doing some really tasty stuff in Afghanistan in Chinooks and were about to scream into the landing site. I brought it all to a high hover to remind them, we're not getting shot at, lets take it slow. A bit of "left a bit, right a bit..." later we landed, thinking it was 10 foot all round. While the winchman got the casualty I had a quick run round. On the right hand side it was 3 feet. That was one way to get your eye in for confined areas!

Probably time for plan 2 ^^^ On second inspection, look at the electrical connector next to it! Get it all refreshed mate :thumbup1: :clover:

Notice how the prop blades instantly disappear! If anyone is watching something like that in the future, make sure you're behind a thick bit of glass. I know a winch operator who had a tip strike against a cliff and a bit of blade cut his arm open and a bit of slate nearly took the pilots eyes out cutting his head. Last time... well... one of the last times I was very close to tip striking I saw myself put a visor down, as if that would do a great deal! A picture that was sent to me after the event, that was no more than 6 feet from any part of the disc and tail to buildings and trees. - - - Updated - - - Notice how the prop blades instantly disappear!

It's a mechanical gauge isn't it, so that line going up in the pic goes into the cabin. It could be pinched or whatever. Nothing looks wrong to me if they are all securely on their fittings.

I agree with Si about cleaning it by hand but I reckon there are 2 options open to you. 1) Clean it gently, a bit, with a toothbrush. 2) Clean it thoroughly with a credit card to hand to buy loads of new sensors, connectors and hoses. I would plan ahead to get stuck in one day with loads of new hose and stuff, you will fix some little leaks, future proof the rest of it, and learn a thing or two about the vac system along the way.

Great stuff mate. Car looks lovely :thumbup1:

Putting some pictures up might help. It would be really really flat at 3psi so you'd know if it was that low. Both turbos produce 9+ psi you're bot getting half a reading. Have you got a leak between the bar and the new gauge? Is the pipework too large? Have you teated the aftermarket boost gauge? What brand is it? Hope some of this helps.

I like that front bumper and the skirts, ironically I think your airflow will be hampered by your numberplate. Stick on plate?

I would love to help Pete but unfortunately this year I am on shift :-( last year it was the MOT man and this year work has kept me from tearing it up with you guys. I hope you have a good session though mate :clover:

I bought the pair of xtd items. The clutch went straight in the bin but I thought, a flywheel is a flywheel. It may be out of ballance I dont know, but it doesn't judder or squeak. It has done a good 10'000 miles and it hasn't wobbled my crankshaft off anything. I nevee had it checked by engineers but I hope it's fine.

I agree with Steve, hope that it's an easy fix :clover:

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/88369/car-tax-bands-what-you-need-to-know Am I right to think, we are: Pre 2001 more than 1.55l =£230 Mine was about £160 till now.

My xtd clutch slipped immediately. I have a competition clutch 6 puck with an xtd light flywheel and it's great.

That is just beautiful.

Just renewed with Adrian Flux yesterday, I was happy with all my dealings with them. More than you guys are paying but they know about every nut and bolt on my car, I have 7500 miles a year, other cars covered etc. £719 I'm 25 with a clean licence and no accidents etc. - - - Updated - - - Oh, and £10'000 value :)

Mine has had a lot of Valvoline through it :thumbup1:

I had alook today but I must have thrown it out. Good luck mate :clover:
