Hi all, I'm looking at buying the Eibach pro 30mm all round lowering springs, and I'm currently running a set of Rays on 20mm spacers all around. I'm just wondering if I'll need a camber adjustmet kit as well? And if so will I need front and back kits given that I'm not lowering it by much? And also I've noticed that Eibach do a camber toe bolt kit which is only cheap, is that likely to provide sufficient adjustment on its own? I imagine a few people on here will have had a similar set up so any advice will be greatfully received

Well....I dont know what I was thinking when I was 17... A lot of hard work and money when into this stupid corsa Then I got the Jap bug..... And then I needed more speed and rear wheel drive (Stage 3 - 350bhp ) And then the Zed came along, happy days

Think you're right.....got a pop charger on its way now Hope the swine flu gets me soon before I buy anything else...

to the forum. That is one of the nices looking Fiesta's that I've ever seen! I cant wait to see how the zed tuns out! good luck with it

Done, here is the link to the SXOC thread: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php? ... ost4823006 Not sure if you can get on to see it or not but I just put the title and a link over to this thread in the parts for sale section

Ross I'm an SXOC member so I'll get a link to this thread posted on there now for you

:bye: You definitely won't be disappointed if you get one, great car

Although swine flu seems like the cheaper option I'm still thinking that Zed addiction is the more preferable ailment

That looks like a good kit.... I've ordered some felt buffing pads already so i'm going to give the T-cut a go with them first. If that doesnt work then I'll be ordering that kit i think ...and if that doesnt work I'll just have to get over it! and accept that my car has scratched windows

Ahh yes, i normally just use AG Vinyl and Rubber care... again I imagine there are better products out there but this has always done the job so far

Bargain! I'll get some of that cheers

I've just got some turtle wal nano tech tyre gel, seems to do the job and last a while but is probably nowhere near as good as some of the premium products out there

I tried the Tcut but it didnt work, the scratches are too deep on mine, i can feel them if i run over them with my nail. I've seen a thread on detailing world which was interesting: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... hp?t=95965 I'm considering trying this kit...or possibly trying the T-cut with a buffer and a felt pad which may work better possibly?!

Thanks guys, I've ordered a few bits and this is my plan Wash - Gold class shampoo / two bucket method Clay - megs quick clay kit Polish - AG Super resin polish Wax - R222 carnauba Sealant - Zaino z8 grand finale / poorboys wheel sealant. Now all i need is a dry day and plenty of time! Hopefully it should come up quite nicely

I'm happy to say that I've had both outer CV joints replaced with the Kits from Zedmanalex and the clicking is long gone I'm now very very happy with the car. I now need to sort out a stubby aerial....and I keep finding myself looking at new wheels already must resist....

Some good info there, thanks for that I had previously always just used a cheap wash and wax shampoo and didnt use the two bucket method ...but since reading some of the info on this forum I've adopted the two bucket method and had been using the Meguiars gold class shampoo as well which i'm hoping is ok. I'll give it a go with a clay bar, and polish then wax and Z8 as recommended. I was looking at getting some of the R222 'Concours-Look' Carnauba Wax. It looked to be fairly good value. Any experience of using it at all? I was looking through some other posts and noticed the Swissvax best of show.... and almost had a heart attack when i saw the price of it

I was in a similar situation as I had previously had a 350bhp 200sx which was seriously fast... but I can honestly say I wasnt dissapointed when I got the zed. Ok it is slower but in my opinion this is a totally different class of car, the driving position, the cabin, the styling of the thing and the roar of the V6 all add up to a truly awesome driving experience. You will love it

and dont worry it doesnt have a cambelt, its chain driven Enjoy picking it up, I got mine a few weeks back and it was seriously one of the best days of my life I'm sure some of the other guys will be along shortly to advise on servicing etc...

After reading a few threads in this forum I realised that I actually know very very little about car detailing.... I have recently bought a 54plate Gunmetal Gt and the paintwork is already in pretty good condition, feels very smooth to the touch and has clearly been regularly waxed/polished (dont actually know the difference if i'm honest!) I usually just use Megs gold class liquid wax and thats about it really! But I have ordered some poorboys wheel sealant and also some Zaino z8 grand finale sealant to use on top of the gold class. Is this likely to be a good combination? or should I also be looking to clay bar the car first, then apply some kind of paint cleaner before waxing and sealing? Any advice greatfully recieved

yep you're right, a stubby is at the top of my shopping list now I've got the spacers and bluetooth sorted

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was curious...did the T Cut glass work? I've got very similar small vertical scratches on both windows and I'm hoping that this may get rid or at least reduce them.

I was in my GM with a private reg driving the opposite way at approx 19:00 on 23/07/09 and I gave a thumbs up Was it you?

Hmm... I'm guessing 'a guy named Phil' probably isnt going to be a very useful answer! Basically it was a smart repair guy, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the company he worked for. He tidys up cars for a friend of mine who is in the car trade so I arranged it all through him and had it done as a foriegner over the weekend. He refurbed all 4 wheels, removed some scratched and chips on both the front and back bumper and buffed the whole car to remove some small light scratches and it was £250 all in which I thought was pretty reasonable Thats a really good price mate!! Stunning Zed! How much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)? I paid just over 12k for it, 54 plate, gt pack and rays, 19k miles, full Nissan history and it's a very clean example so I was quite happy with the price although i had seen cheaper on the market.

it's an iPhone 3gs, not bad quality for a phone like you say

Cheers guys, I'm yet to give it a good wax so it will be even shinier by the time i'm done with it!
