Young(er) person insurance
I got my zed at 20, you won't get insured on a SWB as they are imports, not for less than 4grand or so. I went with http://www.firebond.com and paid 1800 for a uk manual. also traction control will be seen as a performance mod rather than a safety mod and will incresae your premium. tesco quoted me 3grand this year, firebond quoted 1200.

Ded Det Sensor (sheesh!)
if you replace with resistor basically all this does it not put you in safty boost when you are detting fine if your engine is fine but bad if your engine is bad, you can have your det sensor relocated but a lot of people seem to think this is not a good solution due to the extra resistance in the wire you are adding

Smokey Exhaust - blue smoke
we just had a group buy on PCV valves and the hoses, I don't think they are to difficult to fit, http://www.ttzd.com/tech/pcvtech.html that guide shows you how, I have smoke out of both banks on idle, im hoping that it goes with this fix, its not obscene ammounts, just a little at idle, I reckon it could have been caused when i switched to optimax and that started cleaning crap out of my engine and it blocked up some of the hoses and valves?? anyone think this is likely?
