  1. Sorry, it's now sold. Apologies, I thought I had taken this advert down.
  2. This advert is COMPLETED!

    • For Sale
    • Used

    This has been fitted to my car since July 2019 and I'm now in a position to replace it with a new 98+ unit, so it's available for sale. I've been using this box happily for the last 3 years. All the gear changes have been smooth and I've not had any 'crunching' that has given me cause for concern. It was originally removed from a 1992 Twin Turbo and supplied to me with the OEM gear shifter (not included) - as opposed to some horrendous short shifter. During my ownership I haven't abused the gearbox - my car is used as a weekend cruiser, not a drift/track toy. I'm also currently running the standard 280bhp with no power mods. The only thing to note is that it sometimes takes me a couple of attempts to get it into reverse gear. I don't know if this is a problem, as I've had similar experiences with other JDM cars of this era. It may also have been linked to my solid shifter support bracket (not included). Regardless, I thought I would mention it so you can form your own opinions. The following will be supplied with the gearbox: Speed sensor (original) Reverse switch (fitted in 2019) Neutral switch (fitted in 2019) Clutch pivot ball (new) Clutch release fork (new) Throw out bearing (new) Throw out bearing sleeve (new) Collection only from Bristol. Feel free to message me with any questions.

  4. As a computer nerd dark themes make me very happy.
  5. That's being kept safe in the glove box until the clock is repaired/replaced and goes back in. Another job on the 'to-do list' i haven't got around to...
  6. This weekend is the first time in a while i spent any time driving/tinkering with the Zed. I finally got around to fitting the gear shift gaiter I purchased from Mondo. It's only been a year since i had the manual conversion carried out. ?
  7. IMO the Auto box is not terrible. My car was an auto before it was converted by PowerZed. It put a big smile on my face when the 'POWER' light came on. ?
  8. IMO you are much better off making sure the other boxes are ticked (especially the rust one) and then factoring in a manual conversion. Don't get me wrong, if you find a mint factory manual then great. But manual cars are quite hard to find, so you could be ignoring an otherwise perfect Zeds by going down the No Auto's route. All the parts for a manual conversion can be had for approx £800+ and with a bit of work you can have yourself a nice solid Zed.
  9. At a glance looks like a nice car. MOT history only goes back as far as July this year - so possibly a recent import?
  10. As the owner of a Black Slicktop TT this makes me happy. ?
  11. Unless something has changed in the last few months, Jimmer doesn't do the MOT himself - he uses a garage approximately 2 minutes away from him. I live in the area so my first choice would be to take the car to him, failing that I'm happy to go somewhere he recommends.
  12. I wouldn't go adding additional themes, just wondered if there was a tick-box or setting which I've overlooked. I prefer reading light(ish) text off a dark background - but appreciate the majority of internet is the other way around!
  13. The colour picker is a nice touch, although it has got me wondering if there is a 'dark mode' which can be enabled anywhere? Having spent some time using (and configuring) vBulletin 5.x, IMO this is a much nicer alternative. ?
  14. How are things going Nick? Did you get to the bottom of the issue with the trigger setup?
