  1. You can buy a second harness to keep the steering wheel controls
  2. I'm missing one too Group buy!!!!
  3. It's looking like it was a JDM option or something. I want one
  4. Mine must've been registered just prior to that, as it's an 06 DE yet it's low road tax. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk But yours isn't a RevUp motor and therefore shouldn't be higher tax band, unless it was late registered, which is a bit of a slap in the face for some owners.
  5. What grease did you add to the back of the pad/shim?
  6. No the cubby doesn't retract in usually, but I have heard talk about retractable cubbies.
  7. 2nd dibs on the bonnet dampers
  8. Yes Kyle, I have a suspicion judging by this bumper and its scrapes the v1 succumb to parking and turning cracks/bumps. It was all factory fitted original too which is a little gutting but once I have the canards off and it repainted it should look well Such a shame I'll keep my eyes open for an original to but it back the way it should be.

    Oh well, time for a new carbon hatch then.
  10. Veiled Z has reminded me of the tax, the only Zed I would urge you not to buy is a late registered pre facelift, i.e. the original 2003-2005 model thats been registered after March 2006 and therefore is in the highest tax bracket of £500 rather than £300. All facelifts and HR's will be in the high tax band, however, it's worth it for the Upgrades in both engine and design.
  11. Did the previous owner remove the V1 for the V2?
  12. All 3 variants are good engines, none of them have inherent faults that would stop one from buying them, however, IMO the HR engine (2007 on with humped bonnet) is the one to go for if your budget stretches to it. If not the 2006 facelift would be the next choice due to the updated interior and lights, but some can burn oil, but not at rotary speeds.
  13. If it is possible I'm sure it'll cost more than the whole system costs when it was purchased. My filter is in similar condition and I think our best bet is just find a K&N with the correct diameter fitting.
  14. Those wheels are 18x8 et30, perfection is around 9.5 front 10.5 rear all with et20.
  15. GT was always available from the start of the U.K. Models and Sat Nav was an option
  16. Is it not just an up or down button?
  17. I sprayed mine in my first zed in a a similar fashion to what you did and they held up brilliantly, with this zed I just gave them a quick clean down and a few coats or Plasticote. Took 2 days to scratch it When I get the time I'll go back to doing it properly again!
  18. Looks like a UK spec GT model, looks a good buy
  19. Take it off and put it back on aiming slightly higher.

    Tyre wear

    Except you can get a cool printout from the Hunter guy

    Tyre wear

    Is the car lowered? If it is, then the camber and toe will probably be a bit more extreme than standard and can cause this.
  22. Sometimes even at reasonable speeds the rear wheel can hit a bump/pothole and skip, therefore spinning a little quicker than the front, enabling the TCS to kick in. Another option is the rear tyre - front tyre tread depth, if the rears are near worn out and the fronts are new, this can unsettle it also.
  23. 13 hour round trip to get mine at the weekend including flights and a boat! It's definitely worth travelling for the right car. Is it not worth £20 more in petrol and a few hours of your day to get a great example that you'll be happy with, rather than the less cherished example at the dealer down the street for more money?
  24. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure a piggyback like that would have more variables than UpRev, so hypothetically could provide a more customised map and therefore better power/torque. Only one way to find out, though EDIT: As an example, When Neil had my car tuned, it managed 305 with UpRev, but then 320 using the Haltech ECU without any further mods.
