Seems to be off line now....

Hi all, I know what I'm about to ask has been touch on in other posts I have read, but can seem to find common answers / solutions. As we all know the clutch is the Z is a tricky bugger, trying to get a good clean start all the time is nearly impossible, when it comes to launching from traffic lights or roundabouts I find it even harder to get a smooth quick start, trying not to just dump the clutch. On very few occasions (once this morning, and once 6 months ago) I have not balanced it well and the revs get to about 3.5k whilst letting go of the clutch but the clutch pedal seems to hover halfway until I let off the gas. Seems like there a vacuum is built up if over revved. Really strange and annoying. I don't think the clutch is worn out because it's fine 90% time and gear changes are smooth. Any ideas.....? Cheers

Have done this many times, you can just about do it by turning the wheel and loosening the arch cover, but I take the wheel off for ease. Bumper can stay on!!

Yeah pressures are all good, thanks for the point about the spacers. It was fine when I put them on a year ago. Must be a combination of old crappy Bridgestones and the bushes. Cheers

Thanks, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get new front tyres and the bushes done. Annoying that these bushes fail so quickly, only 37k...........

Thanks, was thinking about taking the spacers off, but hate the look after. Can't justify some 19". Would leaving the spacers on the rear and taking the fronts off then doing an alignment be stupid? I could live with the fronts not having spacers......

I know, but at the time, rears needed doing and fronts were / are OK.

Hi all, Looking for some advice. Car details are - 313HR - 37k miles, standard suspension with 20/25mm spacer setup. Over the last couple of months I have noticed the following. When going quite fast 80+ in a straight line, the front end seems to feel a bit vague / loose, also when cornering over rutted tarmac surfaces the front seem to jump / move around more than it should / use to. Things that maybe contributing to this in my view:- I have been told by the guys at Horsham Dev and the MOT report that the compression are bushes are starting to de-laminate, no knocking at the moment. Rear tyres are 6 month old Goodyear Eagle F1's Front tyres are 4 year old Bridgestone RE050a - no advisory's picked up by MOT. I'm guessing that it may be a factor of old tyres and worn bushes, but maybe not.....? Cheers Nick

Hi guys, trying to get a feel on price, what have you paid for buying, fitting and front alignment using SuperPro bushes. Cheers

What lip have you got on the front? Cheers

Plate started with P9. In Egham area. Looked like a clean example!

Cool thanks, was hoping that would be the case. Cheers

Hi Guys, Advise / experience please..... Need new front tyres, have got 3 month old Goodyear F1's non XL on the rear (very impressed by them especially compared with the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's) want the same on the front. Looking on tyre leader they have well priced Goodyear F1's XL rated, would there be any problems having XL on the front and not on the rear? Cheers

What do you mean by low, is the engine up to temperature? What revs is it doing? Just interested as I have an HR. Thanks

Cheers guys

Hi, anyone know where a single air vent can be sourced? Cheers

This better? Hi, what rear spoiler is that? Cheers

Shampoo and water works, but I found that the clay didn't like it much, started to break down after the second use.

Hi all, With less than a month to the FOS, how many of us are going this year!? I've been going and camping for the last 9 years, and for the last 3 I've notice how large, corporate and (Family day out) the event has become. Long gone are the days of witnessing NASCAR's doing doughnuts in paddocks and every car revving it's nuts off. But can't stop going! Still an awesome event. If you're camping keep an eye out for a Night Blue 350 HR and a Laguna Seca blue E46 M3 together.

Just heard back from Tarmac, they have suggested that the ones they sell are for non facelift cars as the facelift headlights distort the fitting / look.

Thanks guys, tarmac only seem to have ones for DE. Will keep looking......

Evening, Anyone know where good fitting eyebrows for the HR can be purchased. Been searching for ages! Thanks.

Thanks all, will give that a go

I'm not sure the EBC website says the have a ceramic blend to fight off squeal, no mention of shims. It's annoying as it's only one side. Might just buy some £12 shims from Clark Motorsport before replacing the disks.

Thanks mate, Good shout, have been looking a shims and suppliers. Don't think the previous OEM pads had shims.
