TOM'S_ZED

Might attend this one seeing as its just up the road

280z and 240z stunning cars your zeds tasty as well. Nice story too

The drifters do want the sheds but the sheds are drying out so the dealers up the price especially the rwd nissans

There just of top of my head to be honest

Abbey do them I think but probably have to order them in and tarmac sports does them aswell I think

driffting being the latest craze mate there getting snapped up left right and center and as there easier and cheaper to tune than the zed there more popular

Luckily for me I'm having a custom header back system made so that will be the exhaust guys headache thankfully as this kind of thing stresses me out

If that don't work grind them off and put a new nut and bolt through the flanges

same as mine snap on do a fantastic kit for those situations a bit like these http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/5-piece-bolt-grip-set/path/

Haven't bought any yet mate but been underneath and looks easy enough to do on your back if like mine and all your nuts are corroded up then it might be a pain though

sweet good enough for me then cheers folks

When fitting Decats is the original bracket which mounts to the cat and gearbox used reason I ask is mine has rotted through and broke away from the right hand cat

I chose the zed because you don't see them every day unlike type R's and i thought i could tune it to big power but seeing the cost to build a high power zed i was wrong not to mention i don;t like the build quality either. To be honest mate i will be going back to Honda at some point they might not be as fast out the box as the zed but for me there the nuts i know them inside out and even built 2 of my own from scratch and helped build many more there reliable cheap and capable when tuned. I wont be going for anything with a k20 for me it has to be the B series.

Keep in mind though my mind set lays with hammering down a drag strip or round a circuit in a race inspired car. So horses for courses I guess

Personally I think the the 350z interior is naff and Hondas are better made (this is just my opinion by the way) I thought the ep3 was well made and looked great with the final phase recaros I think the standard type r seats are naff though. Best thing is go for a test drive n make your own mind up. I will say this though the zed is comfy

I have had a type r a few vti's and a b18 ek and currently own a 350z I love them all for different reasons if I was on a budget to tune a car it would be Honda all the way if your happy with the 350z standard power then that's good but if your planning tuning it or big power have a look at tuning costs.

I have decided to go back to my routes and get back in the seat of a Honda therefore I'm on the hunt for a clean and tidy EK9 Civic or DC2 Integra Type R. Body work is of most importance i don't want anything with rust or bubbling. I don't mind if the car has been modified if its been done correctly (in my own opinion). Lower the mileage the better obviously good history is also good.I have no preference colour. May also be interested in other Honda's so long as there B or k series powered for example an EK4 with a b18cr lump in there. Anyone reading this with the right car will get the picture as to what i want I think.

Right on to the zed

Uk car so brembos as standard

The car is very well looked after in terms of cleaning --- polished once a fortnight washed waxed and sealed once a week at least often more on the run up to a meet or show. this car has cloth seats which are in good condition apart from a little bit of wear on the bolsters bodywork wise there is a small dent on the passenger door very small though and there is a very small ding on the bonnet but its that small i cant get the camera to photograph it i think the front bumper has been resprayed for stone chips in the past its a good job but color in some lights is ever so slightly different.Other than that its a very clean tidy 350z with low miles and good service history

I will sell for the right price and the car is located in S C U N T H O R P E

Not sure if that deliberate depression in the pipe will help would like to know the reasons for this. Otherwise looks a nice bit of kit

I go once a month first Tuesday of the month

suns blazing i will certainly be there

I had this problem i just ragged the plastic liner off and put new clamps in when i re fitted it think alex sells replacement liners aswell if there shagged

yes can do bare with me

Good news it probably isn't to do with the clutch fly or box. Have a look see if any sensors have been unplugged/knocked off while having the work done. I'd then check things like the plugs or if a coil pack is loose could be a miss fire

Just fitted these in red to my zed with the rays wheels they look the nutz lol
