Very nice, looks brand new! Does the 380RS Accelerator Pedal bring it to the same level as the break pedal?

Its a pain trying to do this through emails so I really have no idea why he thinks they wont work, now I.m thinking maybe he means I cannot align the spacers on but surely you wouldn't set a car up then fit spacers (change the set up). @KyleR I think that could be the case. Does anyone else have issues taking their car to local garages and they are not interested in working on it, was a hassle to get my springs and spacers fitted? @AliveBoy I cannot image myself doing that and the outcome being a good one! When you have rolled arches it only affects the lip or does it widen the body a little? I will be looking at getting them rolled to be on the safe side but I was under the impression that with 18 touring wheels I would be OK. Suppose this is what happens when you start modding, you change something that requires you to change something else and next thing your pricing superchargers! Cheers

Hi All, I need some advice on lowering and spacing. I am working abroad just now and through my dad I am having my zed lowered and spaced. I have bough 30mm eibach lowering springs and read camber arms as well as 25mm rear and 20mm front spacers to go with standard 18" touring wheels. They have been fitted to the car but my dads garrage (a friend of his) is saying that the spacers wont work and will need to come off, can anyone think why, I havenet spoken to him yet as I am offshore? From reading posts on here I though people had the same set up. We are also having trouble having the wheels aligned in the West Dumbartonshire area as they will either not touch the car as it has been modified or are saying their equipment wont fit over the wheels which I find strange, anyone had this issue? I have attached a pic of how it sits now. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Steely

I didn't realize the zeds had two sets of 02 sensors, I just assumed it used this to adjust engine timing for emissions, if you remap does the engineer just disable the secondary 02 sensors then?

How does the spacer work, it looks like the spacer would take the sensor probe further away from the exhaust flow? Its not sounding like the best idea to decat by the sounds of it. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, I am looking for a set of test pipes so I can decat my 03 zed, I still have the standard Y section installed to a cobra resonated system. I am looking for second hand set as I don't want to pay full rice for new then decide they are too loud. Does anyone know if the O2 sensor is alarmed can you reset with the torque OBD2 software on Android? Cheers, David

Had a look there are plenty still for sale by the looks of it.

A friend had free ones, swap u a jay z for a sunday race ticket haha. If u google jay z tickets there were still some going yesterday. Go to a website called dubizzle someone might have ones they want to get rid off, about 60quid each i think.

The weather is nice just now, middle of the year its up to 50degs! I wish I got tickets for the F1, didnt know I would be here or off! Going to go to the Jay Z on friday though. Enjoy!

There are quite a few kicking around, a few 350s too but they all tend to look a little beat up. If you walk round tecom there are usually one or two 350s (used to run round the area). Are you on holiday or moved over?

I can't see any reference to "Volk" in the wheels, Dotz appears to be the brand. You are right mate my mistake. Never though about the tri-colour, black wheels it is then :-)

Yeh tried Google images, certainly doesn't seem a popular choice of colour combo . Internet is pretty bad as I am in Myanmar just now so even looking at the wheel websites is a nightmare. I was sure is said "19" volks fast fifteen green" at around 1200 with no tyres. I think the bright orange would suit the green wheels better, like tic tacs .

Hi, I have started looking for new alloys and was wondering what sites give the best deals on alloys fitted with tyres? Or is it usually better to buy the wheels and look for a cheaper option for the tyres. One of the sites I was looking at was rimstyle and the 19" volks fast fifteen green caught my eye, was always thinking matt black but I do like these, I just dont know how well they would suit the orange on the car. Has anyone done this before or have any photos of anything like this? cheers Steely

Neil p, No my fronts are a decent brand but the rears are cheap. Will check tyre sizes. Until I seen a thread from someone who bought a car with wrong tyres sizes I didn't even think it was possible. Cheers for all the welcomes.

Double post was not sure how to delete.

Whoops think it actually was 20/25 I bought. Wonder if you have had this, when i was driving through Switzerland there were a few fast sweeping bends (around 130/140kph) and i had a weird feeling with the car. Like it suddenly had a lot more grip but in chunks. I thought i was going over the lane markings and they had more grip or something then it happened again on a different road surface with no markings so i thought maybe it was the tc kicking in so turned it off and it happened again. Certainly didn't feel to me like i had slid and found traction again either. Any ideas?

Thanks for the welcome! Neil P, what type of issues could i expext the the tc? Is it specifically with my current wheels? Will there still be a problem if I switch the tc off :-)

Hi everybody, My name is David and I have recently purchased a 03 orange zed which I think has the GT pack. I am 27 years old and work abroad on rotation so I get back to sunny Scotland (Dumbarton) every couple of months to drive my 350. Recently traveled through Europe in the car with the gf and the zed was amazing, managed a couple of speed runs on the autobahn up to 155mph but I cant say I was too comfortable at these speeds! Was actually surprised when the missus only said "i think you should slow down" when I was at 154 haha. I intended on leaving the car completely stock but..... after reading through this forum I have purchased 30/25mm wheel spacers and a y back cobra exhaust both from CS but still to actually fit on the car. I intended to go to TDI north at when I am home next and get the uprev and plenum etc done but I may hold off a little. I also want new wheels, a short shifter and lower springs as well. With regards to the springs I though it would be a case of getting eibach springs and having them fitted although from reading some threads they say some other parts may need replaced if the wheels fail to line up after fitting? Has anybody fitted the eibach springs with no issues? If anyone is looking to offload a set of 2nd hand 19" alloys with tyres between 500 - 700 quid I would be interested (I know this maybe not likely in this price range). Anyway I have been reading the forum a while and thought it was time for an introduction. Cheers Steely
