Hi brought these lovely puppies off flebay anyway tried to fit em appart from 1 gasket being wrong things were looking good fitted n/s even better tried fitting o/s and it had been jigged wrong all I can say is good job I am A welder as you can see pictures ...

+1 on it been crap thought it was last week as well. Building a jet engine on afterwards was far more interesting

+2 Fantastic rolls royce engines

Ste .

I have used something similar on my bike Tank The chap from the graphics place gave me a sheet of 400 micron h/d vinal once on you have to look hard to notice it worked a treat on my faring however the big stones at speed will penetrate it but still saves a lot

Ste .

I have removed tar and sap with WD40 !!!!!!!!!

Ste .

there are 2 types of hammer on weights, steel and alloy specific, but i only ever use stick ons when fitting alloys

Hi these are STICK ON STEEL WEIGHTS Which amazed me to see the rust forming on them !!

Ste.

Lead has a blue-gray color. It is the softest and heaviest of the common metals will not rust and corrode your wheels when in contact with the alloy .... steel will , the weights on my wheels have gone rusty

will post pick soon .....

Ste .

Well after doing some detailing to my horror I found that some tyre fitter "obviously thick and new to the game " fitted steel stick on weights to my wheels !!! (previous owners tyre fitter !)

rule No 1 you do not put steel on alloy....... I cannot believe they make these steel stick on weights to save money

as you use an alloy cleaner on your wheels this will react with the steel and cause corrosion to the wheel to as much as eating a hole in your wheel you will notice a gell eating in to the alloy ..

All I can say is check your weights and make sure they are lead which is a very soft ..

I will take some pictures soon as I put my spacers on to show you the rust forming all though I have sprayed them with WD40 to preserve the dammage ..

the wheels will be De weighted and new lead ones put on for a re-aglinment /ballance

Ste .

No Chav here matey just up for the crack with a bit of whit and humor thrown in

Ste

a common failure point and you can often get it welded for about £20.

 

Can do it for £15.00 bring it in ......... seriously though if you get em off I can re-build them ...some are stainless but have been welded with mild steel so the rot on the joints

to the fourum

Ste .

for all you young uns who dont know what one looks like

The Zed is a cruiser... Drive slow and look cool quote]

 

 

+1

 

Ste.

It's even worse when people assume they need more power to be faster... Try getting some decent brakes, some decent rubber and some driver training and then you'll soon realise that the Zed is more than capable of being quick enough when you get the basics right. Just adding another 100bhp won't suddenly make it leave a decent driver in an sporty car for dust.

lol.. was only streight line race though anyway I once owned a old sunbeam alpine and that was faster around churbourough than my TVR !! sunbeam was highly modded though 150whp yes love to sprint and track days as they say ben their done that got the "T" Shirt

yes love the z but IMO It needs 350bhp and some uprated brakes and suspension this would make me very happy however will spoil the car ... for the money I paid for mine quidds in

Ste .

Hmmm my z3m would have had it It was an old model though .... think I ought to go back to TVR'S

Ste.

Last night I was on way to the girlfriends "a bit late as usual" at about 9ish and up my Jaksie was a oily rag XJ 4 door saloon ,on aproaching a island lorry on the inside and approaching a dule carageway clear road ahead I decided to loose this bumper toucher ! so 2nd round island pullaway fast 6000 change 3 flat out then fourth and he passes me he hardly made it as I out braked him on approach off some slow traffic , I courtlyous let him in as he was on the other side of the road !! once cleared he was off again My z could not touch him but keep it a few car lengths in front Hmmmm would have liked to see him on some corners though

on that note I need to get my power upgrades done lol ....

Ste .

. Rubbish engine

My thoughts but not so un kind in the rubbish department I came from a Z3M Roadster S50 Engine which I had spent over 2k on geting 300bhp at the rears, 296 to be precice once i GOT IN THE z AND OPENED IT UP I was dissapointed ..... but working on that one anyway I think the looks of the z are fantastic and close to super car class... love mine to bits just need a bit more tourque gain +++++++++++++++++++++++

Ste

the rears are still intact so ill let him off

 

i could always get my own back and give his 335d some stick

only joking got you worried though nice chap ..... he was treating it fine just putting someones mess right on the car park (big welding job) No I do not do cars !!

Ste .
