One of these little guys? Or have I got it wrong?

With Zeditis taking it's toll I am after a mew bits and pieces for various jobs. I have a basic socket set, screwdrivers, jeweller's 'drivers, trim removal tools, a ryobi (dremel knock off) and I need a decent (hopefully cordless drill), any suggestions before I get ordering and also any other bits you've found indispensable when working in the Zed? I mainly used them to break electronic goodies so far, so might need to macho up my tools for car work. Hopefully fill up my Burberry wash bag when I need to modify (see below for explanation). Ta

Nice work, love the blue. I may have to wrap mine some sort of exotics blue, they just look so fit, What did you use on the headlamps? They look great, mine are a bit dull in comparison?

Did this work? Please say yes! Probably a dumbass question but I'll ask anyway. Door open or closed for the procedure?

Those 5 spokes (sorry, no idea what manufacturer/model) look well stealth.

a bit deeper and wider too, defo above sills.

As a noob I'm a late comer to this thread, been reading for about 40 minutes now to catch up, absolutely blown away by the skills and dedication on show. I'm fully hooked on this build. I'd love to one day be able to do even a quarter of this work. Very impressive.

Weird, mine did this once in the test drive, never seen it since. I put it down to my heavily jacketed elbow tapping the hazard light switch, as I leave my arm round there sometimes.

Excellent. Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks fellas. Looks like I'll be doing this (finding a mechanic) job anyway!

So, after I found out the previous owner already had installed a cosworth panel filter, just as I was decided it was a good idea, my attention turned to plenum spacers. Read some bits and bobs on here, sounded good, opened up the bonnet to have butchers (only the second time since I bought her ) and what's this winking at me? I'm sure it wasn't there when I looked before. I think there's a Modman going around at night doing bits and pieces on my car... Any one tell me what actual spacer it is? (for all I know about engine mods, this could be a turbo charger) I have stock strut bar above it if that helps in identification at all. Please tell me it's the best one money can buy and gives you 100bhp+. I really don't want to hear anything with "cheap" "catastrophic failure" or "fire", unless you really must. Thanks!

Maybe it's time for old painless? It'll make you a goddam sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me.

Would it not resonate like crazy? I had a straight replacement sub for the bose whoopee cushion that came as stock, nothing massive, not even a dedicated amp, but when the bass drops on something really phat the whole back half of the car leaps a foot in the air. And it's been dynamatted too.

Surely if you go fast enough the water doesn't have time to get in? ;-)

I heard he had his head kicked in by Master Splinter. Cowabunga dudes! (has anyone said cowabunga since 1994?)

I want this sound! Is it one of the buttons on the dashboard that makes it? I may make cd of this and play it really loud on the stereo.

Had this at uni, local authority sorted for free after we tried loads of different traps. For the "alternative thinker". My mum lives in France, they have moles in the garden which are a pain as she's into horticulture. Over there in Mr Bricolage (DIY store) they sell small explosives to lay in mole runs. Needless to say, they are effective deterrent to moles, who never re-offend after an encounter with a small land mine! Couldn't find a video of the product in action, I believe it's similar to this.

Great work. Surely a lockable diff next, for the more serious off road excursions?

Wow nice work with that, looks brand new Thanks Will, I was very pleased. I scratched it first time putting it back too early after the 5th coat, hugely frustrating. Luckily it peels off in seconds. I'd have been screwin' if it had been paint! Had another go which went better as it was my first crack with rattle can and had to learn some lessons about "too much too soon". However, it's already taken a few marks. The finish fom plasti dip looks great but seems very fragile. Need a better long term solution I think.

Usually, when I have tough decisions to make, I ask myself, "What would Don Draper do?". You need to ask yourself, "What would Derek Trotter do?".

The people on here were very helpful when I was hunting and there's a useful buyer's guide somewhere. Good luck.

I thought you were going to ask for volunteers to kidnap and ransom the customer service people, cos I'm up for that. As for the roof, I had mine resprayed due to some mysterious bubbley marks, but mine's GM so I guess the paint match is easier. I personally like the "all bits the same colour" approach. Having said that, I saw a really cool carbon wrap the other day too! Good luck!

I hadn't posted anything linking to eBay but now you mention it I would have done it thinking it was a favour, not forcing the price up for the "searchers". The gold mining analogy is spot on!

Great service from Richard. I wanted to get off month to month orders, so signed up for 6 month subscription deal. Richard emailed me shortly after, pointing out it would be cheaper for me to keep on monthly ordering and applying the club code. I was in a hurry and didn't notice at paymemt that the code only applied the once, and not to each month's box. In short, I was going to pay £15.41 per box and he emailed to let me know it was better for me to stick with the monthly order and get it for £12.50 Not all web traders put the customer service ahead of making a few quid extra each month, I know it isn't much but he could easily have let it go. However, he's now got one nailed on, guaranteed customer for as long as I have a car!

Genius. Mine has a little rattle at idle which appears to have developed since I took a tour of the more gravelly areas (not run off areas!) of the office car park.
