I enjoyed that but I'm sure I've seen that clip used in a similar way to make fun of something else, I just can't remember what....

Bit late but here is a few more...

Welcome.

If you can find a DC sports exhaust then it fills all your requirements. Nice and loud with pops and bangs but really quiet on the motorway.

Walked past this one a few times but never had a card with me until last night, hope it doesn't get lost in the melting snow!!

Here is mine as it appeared on monday, complete with my friend writing rude messages on the back, there is more snow today and I got my camera out rather than my phone so more pics later.

Looks like it will be time for round two of snowy Zed pics, will get mine up when I get home this evening. Was surprised to wake up to this much snow, I think there is more than a few days ago.

This does sound interesting.

I was quite shocked to read on that link that in the US they have 93 octane! What do they have in Japan?

iPhone works on my zed fine.

My coolest motorway sighting was a gallardo superleggera which was going off the M1 onto the A42 and it was caught in traffic so I thought quick get the window down so I can hear it. Turned out I would have heard it fine with the window up, so loud and such a nice sound as it went from 50ish to double that in what seemed like an instant - made my day that did

Also seen an SLR but that was being driven by an old bloke who seemed concerned about his fuel economy.

I'm posting this from my iPhone and I have to say they are awesome. I sync mine with outlook. I was a bit sceptical to begin with as to whether the iphone was just a novelty thing but as soon as I tried one I was blown away.

I'd be up for this - I'm always looking for an excuse to give the Zed a run out to somewhere other than the supermarket!

Thanks for that answer I was thinking that it sounded a bit fishy.

The web page it was off ( http://www.carbibles.com )

does seem fairly good in terms of knowledge but I thought I'd check it with others as there are a lot of myths and misinformation bouncing around the internet.

Can confirm first hand that there is a black vectra estate in Nottingham, saw it pull a guy at 9pm this evening who decided that undertaking in the bus lane was a good idea.

I did laugh a bit as I could tell that the car in front of me was being driven too well so I was natuarally behaving myself when a jeep came storming up behind too eager to get past and sure enough as soon as the vectra in front of me was undertaken on came the lights.

I remember the MotorDyne plenum spacer install mentioned something about a heater bypass valve. Not sure if its for the plenum or TB, might be worth a seach on their site.

I came across something similar on a page for the skunk 2 plenum spacer saying that it comes with "the hardware needed to bypass the water lines that heat the throttle body."

Does this ring any bells for anyone who has installed a plenum spacer?

In order to understand a bit more about the technical aspects of my car I've been reading the car bibles and came across something about throttle body heating affecting cold air intakes which I found interesting as I have a K&N typhoon CAI.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about whether the Zed had throttle body heating and if anyone has bypassed this as described below

Cold air induction kits work pretty well but you need to do your homework first. A lot of cars have throttle body heaters, whereby coolant from the engine is circulated around the throttle body casing. The idea is to warm up the throttle body to prevent icing in cold weather. The problem is that these systems are hard-wired and don't take account of external air temperature, so even in the heat of summer, hot coolant is routed around the throttle body. This is a problem for CAI kits because you've gone to all the trouble of putting a nice kit in to suck cooler air into the engine, but at the final hurdle it runs through a 75°C throttle body which heats it up again, negating the whole point of the CAI kit in the first place. The solution to this is a throttle body heater bypass, which essentially involves pulling the coolant hoses off either side of the throttle body and patching them together with a length of copper pipe and two hose clamps. When you do this, the throttle body stays at ambient temperature and the CAI kit gets a chance to do its job. The only downside to this is if you live in a cold, humid climate, you might suffer from icing in the winter. But hey - if you do, reconnect the coolant hoses for the winter...

 

There will always be accidents and I don't think this will be the answer.

I dont like the idea of this system, even using cruise control seems to make it easier to forget about paying attention. There is too great a focus on removal of personal responsibility.

I'm surprised at all the idiotic comments from people who think they are so much better than the guy who crashed.

I'm also tempted by these, do they really make that much difference? I do prefer the feel of the brake pedal on the new TT to my Zed which can be a bit soft.

Some floor mats, which it was in desparate need of and some wheel cleaning stuff (so far done 3 of 4 as its a tad nippy outside).

Westway are listing new 350s at just over £20k

Was good to see a decent number of Zeds. Will try and put up a few more pics soon.

I agree that a drive out would be good next time

Leicester is certainly near enough for me to be interested in this possibility. Good work

I should be able to pop down from Notts for a mini meet on the 21st too

I do like the rasp of my DC, have to rev it for it to sound at its best though. I'm interested to hear what difference the change has made.
