Fog lights on same switch?
Good point Andrew, but running another fog lamp bulb from the relay will be fine as I suggested.
-
Fog lights on same switch?
Yes most automotive relays carry 30A, you'll be fine running another bulb off that relay.

Fog lights on same switch?
It's always best to use a relay, keeps the load off the switch contacts, however the relay for front fogs is capable of supplying rear fog lamp bulbs, think its located in engine bay fuse box on the left side inner wing.

Alternative Auto Gear lever
Just modify so it sits much lower, looks totally different when your not scraping your knuckles on the roof going from P to D :lol:
-
Airbag warning light resistor
Just remove the warning light in the pod, as the airbag ecu is in the steering wheel. Job done.

Fog lights on same switch?
No requirement to operate separately, front and rear on one switch is fine.

1996 NA subframe
Basically the joints have threads which are formed when the part is cast, which means the threads are crap and VERY sloppy inside the adjusting nut, the inner bush of the joint isn't made the same width as the stock bush, they use a generic rose joint and fit a loose spacer either side depending where the joint is being fitted on the car, very cheap and nasty way of doing it. The rose joints also had around 0.5mm of side to side play when new, any movement in a non lubricted part will wear out very quick. I bought the cyberspeed setup along with the Meister r coilovers. These arms were WAY better than driftworks, rose joints were very well made! this is my personal opinion as a motor mechanic/mot tester, I did read reviews before buying the driftworks items but I like to make my own mind up, and these just didn't impress me.

1996 NA subframe
Driftworks IMHO is rubbish pal, I ordered it and the rose joints are utter rubbish, sent it straight back, won't fit driftworks to my car now. :thumbup1:

Today at Beaulieu
Had a great day today, had the privilege of convoying with some very nice Zeds from fleet services down to the meeting point at tescos, makes the drive so much nicer following another zed! had a great day at the show right up to the point where I was just about to leave and discovered i had lost my wallet :scared: I went to the main office and luckily for me someone had handed it in, and guess what? The £200 cash was still there! :biggrin: Just goes to show that there are still people in this world with morals! I would love to be able to thank the person who did this but unfortunately no details were given. anyways, home now, kids wiped out in bed snoring. Thanks to anyone and everyone who organised today and thanks to everyone who turned up. :thumbup: nearly forgot, WELL DONE JOEL, :clap:

Cool ways to start your car other then with a key
IMHO modern day ways to start cars is just stupid, it's all unnecessary and unreliable rubbish, a key has worked for many years! Don't attempt to redesign the wheel! keep it simple and reliable.

What do you weigh?

What did you do to your zed today?
From cyberspeeds mate, I'm fussy about quality of manufacture, and these impressed me, very well made. I initially ordered the driftworks ones, IMHO the joints were utter rubbish, they went straight back.
-
What did you do to your zed today?
Took delivery of these today The arms are excellent quality, bushed, instead of jointed so should ride nice.

Why bother with UK clocks?
