I may have a bash on this - but I don't think I can afford to install it

Unfortunately I am quite the opposite......

Yes I think they have the easier of the three run ins, it could go down to the Chelsea fixture.

If only..........

It looks like a job that requires patience, and unfortunately I do struggle in that department. To make things worse, I have to attempt both!

I bought my zed with Nissan - BMW PCD adapters. I dont really know much about the conversion, but it is possible. Here is the original advert, there may be some information on the thread, I am not a member so I think my access is limited.

So today was the first time since owning the zed (sixth months) that I have really felt the need to open the windows and naturally cool the cockpit. Bloody window motors! I still struggle to understand how a relatively modern car (broadly speaking) can have repeated issues with window motors....has to be a terrible design.

I will attempt the window motor fix when I get a chance, but can almost guarantee that as soon as I rectify the issue it will constantly pour down with rain .

I have been considering gutting the boot, ie removing carpets, sound proofing, plastics etc, in order to shed a bit of weight and expose a bit of colour. However I am not sure if I could handle the drone, especially as I still need to purchase an aftermarket y-pipe. Does this exhaust section make that much of a difference, or is he noise mainly down to the de-cat/HFC's?

PM Daryl thats who made mine

 

I love the set up above, although I thought it was achieved by wrapping the lip below the grill? But it is actually a crafted carbon part that slots on? Sorry if I have just offended you, being naive.

SoCalSIdewayZ....great videos

In reference to "Thuddy Tooooss" that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen! Speechless!

"Chilled out" - Maybe that explains your 'spank my monkey' video

Just thrown up a little in my mouth

I was looking at these in gold, but they also do them in your favourite colour (and black)

 

 

These are a 17mm hex so no problem with aftermarket wheels and are chrome vanadium (steel) as well so they should be a bit better and safer than the usual aluminium ones. These weigh 2oz and the aluminium ones only weigh 0.7oz so there's quite a bit of difference.

Also this site has a few stunning ones but its in the states.

I have been looking at the SR48's, lovely nuts. Its a shame Tarmac doesn't stock this model of Muteki's too.

Smudgedon have you invested in any yet, if so, it would be great to know what your feedback was? I have read a few reviews all of which suggest that they are prone to scratching and paint flaking off. Is there an answer to help prevent this, for example could you clear coat lacquer them? Or maybe there is a socket on the market that is lined with silicone?

Which one did you go for? Could you post up a pic when it has fitted?

We will have to meet up and exchange mob numbers. I would have come to your rescue.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Should be up and running again tonight

New tyre (that's four now in total in the last 3 months) and managed to touch up the wheel as best possible. Hopefully I can strategically park the car in a manner that allows the grass to hide the touch up at Japfest

Hopefully the member in question will contact you after seeing this and you can both resolve it amicably. I am sure you would both prefer to keep it between yourselves.

Some of them you can refer to as amusing, or even downright hilarious, but most are horrific and scary! I can imagine that it is one hell of an adrenaline rush, but you would never catch me on one, bloody lethal!

Good stuff. How much does the sub weigh, its huge

The Bose sub looks like the lid from a saucepan

Depending on how desperate you are for one, and what the protocol is for RT-Performance, you may want to take a look at this, or may even have seen it already?

Nevertheless, I regard this as one of the nicest lips as it is relatively subtle in its protrusion and abutment to the oem bumper.

Nice bit of kit

What is a safe box? Is this the device that records data from each journey, ie the speed, accelerating and braking patterns?

Disconnect the speed transducer/sensor and go for limited mileage lol

Shaun, as you know I've recently fitted Teins and I guess they're still settling at the mo, but I've not had any issues with my lip on speed bumps etc (yet).

 

I think the main problem (if it can be called a 'problem') with a lip, certainly the Nismo style one like mine, isn't the fact of how low it is (as it isn't really much, if any lower than the OEM bumper), more the fact of how far it pokes out to the front.

 

If you're going up or down a slope, it'll effectively hit the slope a little bit sooner, as it's 'extended' the nose of your car.

 

Difficult putting in words - I hope you get what I mean!

That is a good point, one that I have failed to think of when considering a lip!
