Hello Stanski,

I just noticed the oil was different this morning (just opened the box it came been working away all week) tried to give Opieoils a phone but they are closed today

Cheers

Sandy

Hello Folks

I'm about to get an oil change on my car and I got some AMSoil from Opieoils this was what I orderd

Amsoil Synthetic Engine Oil (ASL) 5w-30 -5 Litres

SKU: AMSASL5W30-5

I've been sent amsoil series 3000 (100% Syntheic 5w-30) says its for heavy duty diesel and gasoline engines is this the correct oil for my Zed

PS not sure if this a replacement for the oil I got before as the other stuff I ordered a wee while ago doesn't mention Diesel motors on it

Thanks in advance for info

Cheers

Sandy

What's the best plugs to go for?

Sandy

Ma zed has done around 35,000 miles. It's ah tradition of mine when a get a new car to give it a good service usually oil, plugs and air filter (just in case)

Hello folks,

I'll getting some parts ready to service ma zed and was wondering what's would be the best spark plugs and air filter to get?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Sandy

Seen it on Monday thought it was really good

Nice job did you have any problems fitting them?

Not to bad managed to change the back bolts without taking the brake shoes off (put the bolts in at an angle then turned the hub to pop them through the holes (removed the oirginal bolts using a brass hammer came out easily). The fronts were easier

Cheers

Sandy

Fitted the spacers I got took around 3 hrs

before

After

If their the same as my eibach ones, the bolts are attached to the spacer, you used the normal studs on the spacers holes witht eh nuts provided then bolt your wheel to teh new spacer nuts.

Hello

I've took a photo of the kit I received, is this the correct kit?

PS Sorry aboot the blurry pic

Thanks

Sandy

Hello

My Eibach spacers arrived today and I had a look at fitting them. Being a total novice here how do I fit them? I had the front wheel off to have a look but with the spacers the wheel bolts aren't long enough. I take it I'll need to take the brakes off and replace these bolts with the set that can with the spacers?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Sandy

Would anybody have a list of Manufactures that supply alloys in 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears. I’ve had a quick look and all I’m getting is 8.5 fronts and 9.5 and rears.

PS I take it you can’t get Finichi Firenze alloys this wide in 19’s?

cheers

Sandy

Cheers for the info folks

PS How's the handling with 9.5 front and 10.5 back on 19's? Do you get any arch rubbing, I take it the tyre profiles are the same?

Sandy

Hello Folks,

I'm going to get a set of 19's for my Zed 8.5" on the front and 9.5" on the back and I was wondering what would be the perfect offset and tyre profile for this configuration??

Thanks in advance for any advice

Sandy

Great day it was good to meet everybody

Nice DBAs - I was looknig at those last night for the Monaro. Half the price of the rubbish Vauxhall ones.
