Anyone got any pics or a guide on this or is it dead straight forward?

400 Miles / Tank around town? I doubt I'd get that even if I got out and pushed! Only had it 7 weeks but when I bought it I reset everything and I drove it on a slight run from Manchester to sandbach home then mostly back road blasting the mpg settled around 26, after 1000 miles I reset it again, I use the car to go to the gym 4 times a week which is ten miles around trip and occasion short trips, sometimes for a junction or to up the motorway. Im rarely stuck in traffic and the guage is showing 25.7mpg. My 290hp focus st used to show 22.9. Is my car a freak? oh and the last two times I tanked it it shows 387 miles to empty,

My car does around 380-400 miles aroud town, showing 25.7 on the gauge. You should easily do 30 mpg if not more at a steady 70.

MPSS job done, car is transformed.

is the birdeye nav the one thats fitted to my 2007 296hp 350z? I havent got a remote !

So what should you put in them when there warm? As by the time I ge tto the garage the tyres will be hot. I have been trying different settings, popped 37 in when hot other day but feels very light so going drop them down a touch

Should the tyres be inflated to 35 when warm or cold?

What wheels are those? Lovely looking

Oh christ, I have already been the paint shop asking for a quote to repaint the front bumper due to stone chips!!

That is not good ! After the allignment on Sat I am going to try not to spend a penny on her all of September

Certainly Is, im innocent here! One a slightly different topic I sold those tyres so I am going to fire some money in to the forum pot as promised. Thanks pal, its getting there, I must stop spending money on her! Thanks Matt, it is much appreciated and I have let Admin know Thanks pal, much appreciated. If I have stage 1, just how serious is stage 2?

Sold to Anglaid49! Thanks for the fast payment. Paid £10 to the forum also. Cheers

Had my Z for almost four weeks and due to this forum I have done the following: 3 stage machine polish and then wax. All the interior has been done also Removed the massive aerial and replaced it with a Honda one. Changed out the air filter as it looked black, replaced with a performance cosworth unit. Replaced all three wipers for the more modern looking Bosch Aero units. Rear tyres were Vredsteins and seemed a little low, tried to purchase two of these for the rear but they are no longer made so I went with Michelin Pilot Super Sports, this hurt the wallet! While it was in for tyres I got my mechanic to send all four wheels to Prestige Wheels in Stockport to be refurbished. They have been acid bathed and powder coated, they really look amazing now! I also got him to remove the rear CV joints as I could here a click every now and then when moving off from a standstill, he stripped them down and regressed everything using marine grease and its completely silent now. Its booked in for a full alignment check on Sat. So heres the pictures! Day I bought it, paint flat: After a polish: new boots and result of the wheel refurbishment:

Price update, will 50 and 15 or will do both for 60

Little tuesday bump, open to offers on these

Thanks! I thought it was the least I could do seeing as you guys don't charge for membership.

For sale are 2 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta in 245/45/18. First one has around 5mm of tread left, never been run flat or had any punctures. The other has 2-3mm of tread left, this one has been over inflated at some point in its life and hence has lower tread in the middle compared to the outside, I have tried to show this on my photos. New on here so hope I haven't broken any rules! Im asking £50 for the 5mm and £15 for the 2-3mm one. Postage will be £10 and I will courier it using parcel to go. As im new on here, I will donate 10% of the sale to the forum. The 5mm one: And the 2-3mm one:

Came from a 290hp ST facelift, Rs clutch and plugs, big airtec fmic and revo stage 1. I actually think its quicker than the zed once rolling, but it doesn't feel as planted once your approaching silly speeds. Love the driving position of the zed and I've got a lot more respect for it, bumble along now as with FWD I could drive hard no matter what the conditions. The Zed to me is something special its not a mass produced car with a bigger engine and body kit it was built to be one thing only and makes no apologies for that. It's a fantastic car, and actually is a lot better on fuel than the ST

Add me please, I'm In Sandbach

Id love these but I am with Esure and I have a feeling there not mod friendly

thats awesome!

Is this true? came across it while searching the net? If you do reduce the swing of the pedal, you're also going to have to adjust the master cylinder to compensate. When you lower the clutch pedal, you will also have to shorten the piston length on the master, otherwise the clutch will not fully engage and it will slip when you really get on it.

Just wondered as from some reading on here some kits lose power, wondered if this was the case or this was the better one to buy. How do they sound then?

Do these increase power at all or is it just for noise? How long is it taking people to fit these?
