  1. There are loads on the front bumper, don't you worry...
  2. Very easy to apply, using the applicator supplied, dab it into the the wax and rub onto bodywork. Allow to haze and then rub off with microfibre. If it dries then use some Meguiars Quik Detailer or Last Touch, give it a quick mist and rub off.
  3. Well, then I may be an obsessive then. I wash my Zed at least once a week. The wheels get washed and Rimwaxed too every week. For dust build-ups on the wheels inbetween washes and waxes, I use Meguiars Last Touch in a sprayer and a microfibre to buff.
  4. Yup, the Honda went the weekend before I bought my Volks. Well, between you and me.........I got it for free....but shhhhhh.... Also included a different snow foam, which I bought from i4detailing, which was really nice and thick, thicker than the foam bought from AutoBrite. TBH, after giving my Zed a nice clean and indulging in the ever so soulsoothing waxing, I didn't even mind having the damage to the coating on the wheels. I'm just enjoying ownership at the moment and don't really care about the little annoying things. I think it was only a matter of time before that would have happened anyways, it just happened to me sooner...well...three weeks after buying them....but yeah, would have happened sooner or later tbh. I'm just happy now, no worries...
  5. I'm sorry for my poor choice of words in describing the issue. I hope I didn't cause any worry to anybody. Apologies once again. Mark
  6. Today I washed my car and thought I'd try this new wax I got a few days ago. Meguiars Yellow Wax #26 Quite please with it tbh, never used a hard wax before and was pleased how easy it was to apply and buff off.
  7. Just a quick query. Since you maintain the website for Envy and all, and you recently had hacker trouble, is it possible that your security has gone a little too far? I use FireFox and can access the site, but when I click to view the pics, it blocks me out, even if I try to refresh or re-load. Any tips?
  8. So will the new colour be "Hot Lobster"?

  10. The 160mph is prolly a false reading, due to the larger wheels. Especially since the UK Zeds are limited to 155mph. Welcome btw
  11. Just remember that the engines you are comparing are quite different to each other. I found that driving my Honda, you need to rev the t*ts off it to get anywhere, which with the screaming engine noise will probably give you more sense of urgency. Whereas in the Zed, it's more smoother and unassuming. When in the Zed and driving on a dual carriageway, I bet you had been trundeling along until you happened to glance at the speedo, only to realize you were doing 100mph.
  12. Yup, I have the same exhaust. Now get them bungs out, the Zed is restricted with them in and can cause longterm damage
  13. Great, now I have an image in my head where a tiny toy Zed is driving laps round boobs...
  14. Ahh, so you watched Armageddon last night too... If the world was in such a desperate state that burning fuel is the cause, then let me ask you this: - Why are airplanes still in the sky? - Why are there massive containerships in the sea? - Why isn't F1 banned? - Why in fact isn't any sort of motor racing banned? I know the main reason as to why these things are allowed is because it's all big money business, but if the world really really was in need of change to save it, then surely these things, that are the biggest contributions to fuel consumption, should be banned.
  15. I have to agree that 4k launch may be a little on the high side. I too came to the Zed from a Honda, JDM Prelude 2.2L VTEC, that had about 180-190 ponys. With the 4 cylinders you have to give it some revs before you get to the powerband, so perhaps the 4k launch was something adapted from Honda driving. You need to try and unlearn some things that you have picked up during your CTR ownership and learn some new things that are more suited for Zed driving. Have fun discovering stuff and hope you don't cause too much damage in the process. I'm sure if you have any questions you will find an answer here.
  16. How about tapping into the wiring for the switches located in the doorshuts?
  17. Where did you get those side emblems from? And how much were they?
  18. Am I posting invisible posts?
  19. Cue 80's Knight Rider music....
  20. You could save some cash and just buy an K&N Filter Recharge kit. comes complete with filter cleaning solution and filter oil. Can buy at most Halfords. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165730
  21. I have no issues with any speed bumps, even the tall mofo ones. But then again, my Zed has not been lowered at all. Here's a sideways shot so you can see how it sits (parked on a kerb btw) Front shot
  22. Nixy may be going for a tan to match her Zed.....prolly be better of with spray tan to achieve that orange effect...
  23. it was the school that pulled from the woodend estate if you know it. Maybe they should do what was done in Torchwood - Children Of The Earth, where the aliens demanded 10% of the children. Give them all the chavs I say...
  24. I think we should apologize too for not being able to come due to last minute changes and the damn weather. It's not often that someone is willing to invite a bunch of strangers to their own home and have a BBQ (...hang on...it's actually like a Chilli Mod-Day, just without the modding...) In a way I'm a little glad that it's cancelled, maybe I can make the next one.
  25. Just put MAME on it and then you can run loads of original arcade ROMs
