GT4 Zed

and congratulations Black is best and .............ahem

very inovative mate. Would like to see how it pans out. Sounds like Rich knows this stuff so heed the advice

I'll have a look at the posibilities with events clashes, hotels availability in mind

Tell him to F%&k off and take your business elsehere Loads of zeds for sale!

WTF with the video Lovely but too compromised as a GT. there though faster its not in the same mould as a zed and as such I will never consider one. A SC or TT zed will be more appealing for the cost difference. I think your mate will struggle or the bike will go for a cheap run around If i wanted an out and out second car/track weapon then the ultima GTR is it! I checked insurance out of interest when i saw a 520BHP 2004 sub 6K miles example going for £38K on PH...................it was £350 limited 3k miles a year Couple that to strong residuals you have a winner

Fantastic new that is a result and to top it off you went for the race logic Is it the Advance ME plug and play one? Feedback is in order What exctly is the issue with the diff ? Personally the VLSD and the race logic would have been more than adequate for serious trackday use because unless what you have got is torque sensing type diff there is no real advantage IMHO get a clutch type one. The clutch type works after slip begins to occur like the VLSD just a bit better. So unless you want to do some drifting too in which case a 2way unit have been better. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Never flash, always wave if in my zed but not with the Pug though (mind you its turbo) That said i have never spotted anyone from the forum so i stopped posting in spotted

You can also blague the 370 one from the stealers and mod it to fit either way

The patient dog................ comes to mind

Looking good Ian as usual with the engine bay but you really need to tidy up the center console ..................looks shabby, the absence of the cubby door, the ill-fitting double din unit below Surely you can do better with the placement of the Defi link unit

Stop kidding around Ian

Not often I say this, but I agree with Bennett I wanted (want) Tomei ones but I'm happy with my DCs. I only fitted them because I got them for a stupid price Thank you so much your higness Does that mean i will have exclusive driving review of your beast in Wales

Glad to help mate. But as mentioned before do changes one at a time and address one axle at a time eg 4psi all round is not as informative as 4 psi in front then after full testing the maybe increase further or increase or decrease at the rear. You have to know or be able to describe what you are experienceing and want to improve or remove in terms of handling characteristics This might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_handling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_setup

Also depends which one you are buying as some cheapo ones will not have the inside welds smooth which will affect the flow and cost you ponies Or might not be true equal lenght . Or they might crack costing you labour twice I think Nismo, Tomei, fujitsubo etc are the ones i would look at if money was no object and going for big power NA or SC!

Just read your post mate. The noise is from the rack and has been covered here before by someone i have had this for ages and its worse with my hard suspension setup Steering rack pre-load adjustment: There is a nut that holds the rack together and its called an "end cover assembly" its under the boot and its torque-spec is actually a range - 58.9 - 73.5nm; you need to increase the torque until the clicking goes away, and the play is taken out As with regards to the steering response there are a few things you can do to improve it. -First you can increase the presure by 3-5 psi and see the response/feel you get. -Next you can start by setting the front Toe settings to neutral(0°00') and dial in more toe in to increase straightline stability (factory set up range 0°00'-0°05') Increase by 5' increments of toe in to 0°20' . Toe out will be good for cornering on a track but you will NOT enjoy it on day to day driving as the tramlining will be worse -If you are still not happy then consider swapping for 245/40/18 tyres fronts(assuming you have 18"Rays) which will fit the wheel no problem ( Just like the rear can be upped to a 265 ) - If all these don't do it then you need to invest in a front camber arms(ichiba are the cheapest from Adam @ Z1) to allow you to dial more negative camber in the front. 1°50' IMO seems to be optimal for road driving(factory is 0°10' to -1°20') All these measures are to improve front end grip and as a consequence steering "feel" or weightiness in road conditions but bare in mind than you should only make small changes at a time as to identify what works and also too big a change might affect the rear geometry eg increase oversteer so you may have to counteract this with some tweaking which is easier as there is toe and camber adjustability or just wider tyres or increase presures just like the front If all this fail then

Nice black on black zed but need colour coding the door handles and badges to get you as stealthy as mine is As for your question about mods its too vague and needs some direction and budgetary consideration etc Ask youself what you want to change/improve or modify? E.g. Aesthetics(in or out), engine performance, handling etc or a bit of everything. The next step is to set a scale of preference and a budget limit for all the mods or different stages of mods overtime. Then ask this question again and together with some prior reading up or snooping in the various sections/links eg photos, braking, performance etc we can help you as you would have an idea/focus of what you are looking for then At the end of the day modding should be your preference with some guidance and informed choices you make here and there................ but if you want to be spoon fed i will say stick a twin turbo and you are off to a flier

Joy says she has to come so that she will have someone sensible to talk to Fingers crossed

Everyone in the UK knows he's always late ... cant make the text any bigger to get his attention There you go Nurrish[/color] a wake up call now

well done Jerry for hanging in there Hard times never last but tough men do

Might be one for you or Nurrish to blaze the trail now

I know but is there anyone here with one installed? feedback would be good

This should certainly get into the "to do" list of our ever growing FI zed members or any serious trackday weapon I had the oportunity to drive an E46 M3 with this gizmo fitted when i had my cabrio and was well impresed especially with the clean launch control but could never justify the expense on a poser car but looks Advance ME's have developed a plug & play solution is is cheaper than some going for a 1.5 way LSD which will improve some traction issues but nowhere near this TC http://www.advancedme.co.uk/AME/images_ ...

Top suspension work mate I can believe how much work to change the subframe bushes I have been holding fire getting the front and rear bush kit including subframe, transmission and engine mount but been concerned about the labour cost and now i have reason to be Is this the only way to swap these subframe bushes by removing the whole subframe? what where the estimated labour costs. NB: the creaking and banging maybe from the stiffer bushes

I'm waiting on husky to do his super duper led clusters Ahhhhhhhhh Almost forgot about that one It has been so long He is such a lazy sod that puppy
