  1. Another ex VX220 (NA) owner here. Owned from new for 5 years and 76k miles. Engine and handling mods so went very well.

     

    Agree with most of above. VX and Zed two different cars. Only had Zed 2 months and not yet been on track so can't really compare how responsive on limit etc. But Zed is obviously fast and comfortable (& warm) place to be. I don't fit seat as well as VX though. Looking forward to doing more miles in Zed and having a play.... (Evo, 5th gear etc love them :)

     

    VX220 ownership is far more extreme, but then you do get the total feedback of a lightweight car - horses for courses really.

     

    I have a north weald day this Friday - if it's wet and cold I'll take the Zed instead of Caterham.

  3. some will make a negative comment on any car you or others may drive, even if their mode of transport is a lame donkey, some individuals are just gifted with charm and wit (and makes them feel better).

     

    best response - just laugh and join in with the joke - never, ever bite :thumbs:

  4. well I might go mad and replace the 'Nissan' badges with the 'Z' ones on show... :)

     

    trouble is I know once you start it's a slippery slope having modded my last car (all performance and handling related)... but I did this as I evolved with the car and got used to it - mostly for track days and sprints...

     

    I get my adrenalin rush now racing a Caterham - so I'll keep Zed stock for the time being, until maybe I find any fast road limits - but there might not be any ?? at least for my modest driving standards.

  5. Just to let everyone know.

     

    My problem was fixed by following this advice, ie. bleeding/changing clutch fluid. From others experiencing this problem as well I'm assuming it's not a service item ? This should be the case as my fluid was old and contaminated - hence it broke down with heat.

     

    Did a 350 mile round trip after fix and all ok :thumbs::)

     

    Note. Bleeding was a bit tricky... once pressure was released on slave cylinder clutch pedal went to the floor and then stayed there !! you have to lift pedal back up and pump gently back down (in fact it goes down by itself !). Releasing bleed nipple and working up and down, with someone else keeping master cyl full soon had all old fluid removed and working perfect.
