Nisstek ECU chips on flea-bay?
stuipid question here... ive got a jwt chip (in from when i got the car..) how do i know what map is on it? im getting my boost controller fitted soon so hopefully it wont over fuel as much but fuel right for higher boost.... where do i start with this? rolling road? or some clever local zed guy?

xenon side light bulbs
in that case can you put me some asside, thought that would be the case.. trouble is im waiting on wanadoo/orange to sort my broadband out at home and my work internet wont let me get on anything to transfer money or ebay / paypal... *anger!!* so once i get it sorted at home il grab some 100w dip beam lights and white side lights bulbs as well... i need a bit of help working out which spoiler lights i need though... not really getting what the difference is...

re finishing alloys?
mine might stay on hold for a while as well then by the look of it... shame as they spoil the look of the car.... still parking without hitting kerbs is a challenge, i mean its not like you can look out the window and see the f*&kers

Newbie questions!
as far as mods go for bhp.. as above really... turbo cars generally easier to get more power per £ investd than NA anyways IMHO... car handles pretty well as standard, good fun for a largeish car... had mine a few months big thumbs up... just check it out carefully and use the buying guide on here before you hand the cash over!!!

Nisstek ECU chips on flea-bay?
when i brought my zed its listed as having a jwt chip, no idea really about the mapping of it? likely BHP gains? its clearly chipped as my car over fuels at idle... guessing i cant really fix that... just interested whats going on in my ecu.. ps sorry for the hijack...

Twin filter induction. TT
was thinking the same, but also ultimatly the pipe isnt any wider beyond the join so no more air can actually get into the engine.... although does look great...!!
-
re finishing alloys?
im interested, the other place quoted about 95£ per wheel plus vat, including rim repairs from the last guy who couldnt park without hitting the dam kerb!!! :headvswal not sure i wanted to spend £400 to be honest, i mean the heels are nice but thats alo of cash, and they wanted an aditional £60 to remove and replace the tyres!

xenon side light bulbs
mate sweet work, i will be after dip lights and probably side lights as well, not sure about high beam to be honest as mine isnt too bad, guess il have to see what it looks like, main question with the off road use only for the 100W bulbs.... how "off road only are they?" i mean we talking MOT fail? or just bit bright? or pi$$ing every1 off coming the other way...? Cheers andy

re finishing alloys?
The car ive got has got chrome alloys on it, the chrome is not great (not helped by the last guy kerbing the wheels!!!) so im lookingat getting the wheels repaired and re finished.... any ideas on rough costs of kerbing repairs and a refinish.... is it going to be worth the effort or should i just start saving the pennys and get new wheels?

Stir the hornets nest on tyres
anyone got any ideas on the profile question, not wanting to rush responce, but wanted to get the tyres ordered early this week.. also any rough idea if i can get 235/40s on in place of the 225/45r18 ive got on at the moment? Think im going to go for the falken tyres after reading round a bit.. just want to get the right size as the front is feeling fairly loose as my old tyres are dieing

90k service
Something i could do myself or best to get it done at zen/zed world? Any ideas on cost? the belt was done at 60 and the car runs pretty well, just looking after her really... the zeds chipped and seems to overfuel alittle at idle, noticable as the winters got on by more condensation out of the exhausts at idle... anything to worry about? (obviously over fuel is better than under!!)

xenon side light bulbs
danny any news on the kits as my headlights are cr*p at the moment so I need something that will boost the light on the road and a whiter look is always welcome. Didnt want the hasstle of getting HID done so upgraded bulbs probably the way forward. Also dont suppose you would do replacement spoiler brake lights? Mine have all tied so need to swap them as well.

Stir the hornets nest on tyres
my size atm is actually 225x45 r 18 and the site doesnt seem to list much in the way of tyres in the 45 profile. Does it matter if i stick 225x40's on instead? any snaggs likely?
-
Stir the hornets nest on tyres
is there an easy way to tell how wide the rim is? the last guy put them on so ive no idea on the size?
-
Stir the hornets nest on tyres
great stuff guys. backto the sizing issue, can i just stick on 235s? or will i need new wheels to get the extra size (hence not bother..?)
-

Stir the hornets nest on tyres

Exhaust Drone
wonder if this might help the nosie from my zed as well. Ive gone down the route of dynamating the boot to remove the drone at low revs... got to fit that this weekend and see if it helps... H pipe might be on the cars as well.... guessing even just a powerflow type place could fit one at the same time i get the cats taken out?
