  1. the integra is an amazing weapon nevertheless. modified on a track you dont have to be the stig to be very very quick. unlike the other 2.
  2. your car is secretly fitted with a LSD! haha
  3. The best road ever!!! Had a ford escort 87 with a double carburator when i lived in weymouth...oh happy days... ps that road best not be driven at sunset
  4. i would love to know as well...
  5. just a normal air duct should do the same job. many here have them. mine has got 2 for example. never had any issues with rain...and i v driven in some very hevy rain and a single carriageway going to edinburgh that was more like a lake.
  6. +1. Mine is the same. You can try an exhaust wrap.
  7. Get rid of the badge m8. a guy the other shouted at me...is it a zonda m8??? thats the definition of debadging... no many (especially women) can tell its a 300c then
  8. +1000000000000
  9. thanks for your important input then
  10. +1 also its been said its the only mod that wont be canceled by the ecu
  11. Only when its wet ya big wuss obviously...i am not like others (ie alex) that drop the hood down and enjoy the drive
  12. will be at the Caribbean... i remember that chicane where that first lambo crashed...that never lost the back end again since alex showed me the correct line...ta muchly as for the second one...the first thing alex told me...dont go over the curbs...they are very slippery
  13. Something I plan to check out in future...how do you find the alternative final drive? I'm also going to look into the Final Drive also - although next year as I've spent too much money this year. I've been informed by a number of resources the Final Drive is a great mod for acceleration, although take into account your top speed will reduce!! the legal top speed of 70 mph? its an awesome mod and gutted i didnt do it when i had the nismo lsd fitted....but working on it...trying to make up my mind as its 2 set ups you can go for...and tbh as long as i can go flat out to 140mph thats fine. also the HR does 155mph on 5th and the rev limiter. on 6th 165mph for the roadster and it had about 500rpm or so to go...(couldnt exactly keep an eye on the road and pin point the rev needle whilst my amuse diffuser was literally falling off)...that means you have got plenty of top speed to sacrifice
  14. A lot of weight like 200kgr??? Because rims apart (rays are perfectly light) i cant see how you can get the coupe below 1500kgr. Thing is you still want a car drivable every day. you need the air con and the stereo. oh and the door panels. Then add roll bars, thicker sway bars, heavier brakes, bracings, even the adjustable a-arms are heavier than the stock ones. grrrrrr
  15. Talking about seats...thats the best mod!!! if you sell the old seats with airbags and the lots you may even make profit on the new seats and they will look better as well as saving you about 40kilos. On a 300bhp car that means 7.5bhp more....and you make a profit! plus better cornering and braking
  16. yes m8 2 intakes. its nothing unless you go FI. ok for small lotuses and stock m3s on the track but the zed is a heavy mofo. i v been destroyed by 240Zs, 300SXs, old rusty gtrs and the lot on sheer acceleration. +1 on martin I agree the zed is flipping elephant. I've gone along the way losing weight whilst adding weight at the same time. I'd be interested in seeing what weight the car is now. I also +1 to a track day it would be a good meet up and fairly safely test the zeds Only way to save some serious weight is to get rid of the seats and go for some recaros or smth. everything else weighs less than a good meal really The HR is good for about 500bhp on stock guts while the DE is good for about 420 or so. still talking about 12+k to be done properly. Track day with novices and experienced drivers trying to prove a point no thanks.
  17. Talking from experience as i v done track days on 18s and 050As and 19s with the same tyres. Mind you my 19s are twice as heavy as the rays.
  18. yes m8 2 intakes. its nothing unless you go FI. ok for small lotuses and stock m3s on the track but the zed is a heavy mofo. i v been destroyed by 240Zs, 300SXs, old rusty gtrs and the lot on sheer acceleration. +1 on martin
  19. the other zeds (300's) are bonkers would be a good laugh too much competition causes accidents... i really think the 18s suit the Zed better performance-wise. waiting for comments from track day enthusiasts. ps this thread looks hijacked
  20. fat ones dont really m8...they are just more expensive they last a bit longer though IME That said maybe so...but that was before i get them big nike tuned air trainers
  21. fat ones dont really m8...they are just more expensive
  22. If you get a propper remap you can totally disregard the D1 controller The remap sharpens up the throttle AND removes the limit from the 1st and 2nd. I disagree strongly. a pair of those will do fine on first and second gear.
  23. its what i tihnk about everytime i do a mod ! most youl get is 300 give or take vs 309 stock , greekman will correct me here if im wrong but i think hes running about 340 with with basic mods. +1 nismo intakes and y-pipe/back box nismo exhaust (all slightly used), unknown high flow cats from the states and uprev. Took the car from stock to 340bhp (v v hot reading, according to rs tuning could be a bit more if colder) and all in all cost a bit more than 1k. Then i put a couple of stones on and some very heavy 19'' dotz hanzos and its all gone....
  24. Get an already FI car like a Golf GTI. Or a shirroco (or however its spelt) Not a lot of weight you can save on the zed, not a lot of bhp you can get unless you are talking about 5 digits. the question is too general to be answered. all i know is that i can keep up with a 911 in the twisties...eaaaaaaaasy....but only just with a boxster S on a straight line....and thats 15K later instead of spending money on bhp mods get a later model with a HR engine. thats the best mod me thinks.
