  1. Ooh welcome to the site, about the clutch I wouldnt have said it was overly heavy, not any more than another car. Thought about an auto zed? Your PS13...I almost bought that from the previous owner, but I couldnt sell my VX220 before I went off to the states last summer. Hows she treating you?
  2. I made a new one on one of the lathes in the workshop But as others have said it just unscrews lol
  3. This is an awesome thread, genuinely wish I was this knowledgeable with car stuff.
  4. Deffo red with black mouth and lips, out of interest where did you get your N2 from?
  5. Freebird

    Headlights

    have a go at baking them in the oven on a low heat yourself to split and clean up then reseal. If that goes tits then maybe source some new ones, but shouldnt be too bad. I did that on my old VX220 and am considering doing it to the zed's lights as they have got dirt inside.
  6. I really dislike the Marcos' normally, however the GT3 and GT2 versions are a tad nicer Think this is one of the ones that runs in the Dutch Supercar Challenege. I remember the one that was brought to Donnington had some crazy aero, but couldnt find a pic of that one.
  7. Fitted my XYZ coilovers the other weekend, not overly difficult. One tip for the fronts is get the whole front of the car up and on stands will make your life a million times easier due to the ARB being under stress so removing the drop link on either side is impossible with one side on the floor...
  8. I personally would do an LS V8 conversion...just to throw that into the mix (not cheap mind you) Then if one got bored with an NA V8 power you could always stick a harrop on top and see 600bhp easily enough lmao
  9. Oh...well get the TE37 reps in a man offset haha. Can you get lower than et0 from Varrstoen? Also if they do them in bronze.... nom
  10. just get some hub centric spacers and roll your arches if needs be, could even flare them to fit if you didnt like that then overfenders lmfao. What sizes are your current wheels then?
  11. If you take off about 15% as an average for drivetrain losses you will get around abouts your wheel HP
  12. Fujitsubo I think you mean, and not a bad system imo. have a look at their site (not the greatest) http://www.fujitsubousa.com/ The japanese site is better: http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/english/ This might be the one you have? http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/english/legalis_r.html Edit: Just to add not exactly a cheap system either
  13. Welcome to the forum, this is exactly the kind of opening post I love Loads of pics
  14. Coilovers are a VAST improvement imo, its a must buy really. You dont even have to do a large drop in height its more the fact its stiffer and the fact that you can adjust your dampening settings for mood. i.e. stiffen them up for a trackday or wind them down a bit for a more comfortable ride. I personally wound my dampening up to max and it doesnt really feel that harsh, could do with dropping the dampening down on the rear slightly for a more comfortable ride. But then again my VX220 was on coilovers (both cars) and they were set very harsh and stiff. Also tell me about the spacers! sweet jesus lmao, I dont want to fork out £200 for spacers when I intend on buying wheels that actually fill the arches
  15. Spent today attempting to make the car look pretty after I fitted my XYZ coilovers over the weekend. Here are some pics. I want to go somewhere decent to take some nice photos with a decent camera but for now just iPhone pics im afraid The fleet Bonus of my old car too (still miss it) Oh and the one that burnt down....sadface
  16. I would definitely try another seat before selling up. It took me ages to find a seating position that didnt give me discomfort after a bit of driving.
  17. Am I able to get just a muffler (backbox) on its own, there is an engineering company very close to me who would be able to bend some 3" piping and fabricate the rest of the system to fit. Would be cool if i could source something such as the Agency Power back box on its own then fabricate the rest. (Y pipe back)
  18. VERY good shout on the V2 I would like the side skirts, rear spats and an N2 bumper (obviously when I have money haha)
  19. Mine arrived yesterday, sadly about 5 mins before I had to go out. Had a quick go at fitting when I got home, all hooked up didnt have power until I started the engine which is obviously too late as you cant turn the engine over before you do the initial setup. I took it all back out and will have a look again in the light tomorrow (and with the help of a small person to go under my dash haha) I think that the loom section was not pushed in tight enough or something. Like I say I will have a look tomorrow. Bloody efficient delivery though
  20. haha just post a list? I wanna know too Would be amazing if you had any N2 bumpers hanging around
  21. ooh they are nice arent they and that is a nice S14, well i have an arch roller....just not 2k spare for awesome JDM man wheels *cries*
  22. no one has said they would poach the brembos yet....in that case i will
  23. how broken did he get out of interest? edit: On 16 January 2012 Jeb suffered multiple leg fractures in an accident while BASE jumping with a wingsuit off Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa. He appeared to strike with his feet, probably pulling up to make the edge, spinning 30 meters out before deploying his chute. He was airlifted out by the Red Cross Air Mercy Service Augusta 119.
  24. et40 is a very very weak offset lol. I do love the SP1's though. Such an annoyance that proper wheels are so insanely expensive. Im not a member of SXOC so couldnt see the wheels linked, but i did read that they are 12" wide. Which makes me want to see them haha
  25. Was hoping this was me as im at Brooklands three times a week. Look out for me too (silver zed, nismo N1 front and spoiler, oh and pretty low)
