i want to change the three gauges above the cd player in my 54 plate zed for some cooler looking digital ones. have many people done this and how easy is it to do? Time for you to pic whore people.....

Great stuff. Thanks for the advice guys

And while were on the subject, what brake fluid do people recommend

Not sure to be honest. Had it since February and I've not done it. Is it worth buying braided lines as well while in changing the fluid?

Sorry if this has been covered before. got a 54 plate with brembos and when i press the brakes i have to let off and press again as the brakes don't feel they have binded properly first bite. is this a common thing and is it worth buying some braided lines or do you think it could be something else?

great to get your opinions guys. i think my first thing will be exhaust and cats. I like the sound of mine at low revs but it qoes rather quiet past 4K rpm (ish) as far as i know its a standard exhaust as it has the nissan stamp on it, but it does sound a bit throatier thhan others ive heard. dont think its got a whole in it to make it blow or anything. Thanks for everyone's input

Considering taking my 54 plate zed to TDI north to have the uprev done. But is it worth the money? Whos had it done and how much more do you like driving your car for it?

yeh center console out and unscrew from behind to get the cubby box out as one unit. i sprayed my center console same colour as the car

i used tesco once. picture wasnt HD quality and i was happy with the result for a canvas

ooooo! i likey! couldnt they be wired to the ignition to make them DRL's?

I believe no matter what martial art you focus on, if you train hard and dedicate yourself to it, one is no better than the other. Say for instance, i study itf tkd. If a person of similar level in jiujitsu or a mainly grappling and throwing martial art comes at me, the idea is to take them out in one hit. Whereas jiujitsu is more about submission of the opponent. anyone who says 'my martial art is better than yours' really needs to have their ego checked. Imo of course.

Been doing ITF taekwondo for almost 2 years and love it! tried some caphoeira but going to get a bit further with taekwondo first

i did an ice bucket challenge but did not donate to the charity. mine was to spread the word for the charity even if it has been plastered all over the world. My reason for not donating and not donating money to other charities is that i donate blood as often as i can. I would rather donate something i have endless amounts of, and be pretty positive that it is actually going to the people that need it or for research purposes!

Been riding on the road since 16, in now 26. Had to progress from 50cc, 125cc, upto 33bhp for two years then whatever. Now riding a 57 plate cbr600rr and have been since it was new. tbh i don't like the fact that a lot of people do a test, buy a 600 as a first bike and think that's a sensible bike for a first bike! Most 600's will out accelerate the vast majority of cars on the roads. too many born again bikers about. but good luck on your test and stay safe. Bikes are awesome

i paid £6k for my 54 Reg with 75k on the clock. thought that was a steal as it only needed a little bit of work. tbh you may get one come up if a seller is very desperate to sell quick

Nope!

Parked in the london bridge pub car park saturday night. beaut of a car!

So not long after i bought my zed, a kamakaze duck flew out of a hedge and into my bumper and did this: Needless to say i was a bit naffed off! Finally had the chance to get it sorted and im rather happy with the result. And while we still have a fair bit of paint left over, i decided to flat the gear surround and have it colour coded to the car: Will be doing the rest of the center console when i get chance. Shame the picture of the surround isnt better but you get the idea

Need to refurb my wheels and just wondered if anyone knows the paint code for the rays in standard colour. My zed is a 54 plate gun metal (or sparkling silver as the paint code is apparently called)

Welcome bud. Get some pics of your z up, we like pics.

Welcome to the club ya lucky son of a B! lol! you sound fairly down to earth so well done and many happy years driving

Im not working that weekend and this sounds awesome! i will put my name down for now but i am looking to move house in the near future so may have to back out nearer the time. If there are many coming from the north, and want to convoy i will be taking this route from warrington! some great roads that way. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/WA1+4PD,+UK/Sherbrooke+Scout+Camp,+Mansfield+Ln,+Calverton,+Nottingham+NG14+6HP/@53.165774,-2.3605124,9z/data=!4m19!4m18!1m10!1m1!1s0x487b01a5d32a3309:0xba475f17854e5a27!2m2!1d-2.5373464!2d53.4010227!3m4!1m2!1d-1.9527954!2d53.2390309!3s0x487a37211234d25f:0x395aee12670e4fae!1m5!1m1!1s0x4879b8a17a2d7c39:0x1b21e43d0e451c0c!2m2!1d-1.0817027!2d53.0486435!3e0

sounds a good idea to me.

Any more news on a stand this year?sorry, just saw you only posted a few days ago.

Studies have shown being on the phone while driving reduces concentration and increases reaction times and therefore overall stopping distance, and i can pretty much guarantee that most people on here drive closer to the car in front of them then is safe. lets compare texting to say, messing with buttons on a cd player..... you take your eyes off the road for a second to find the correct button on the cd player, whereas texting, you take your eyes off your phone for a second to look at the road!! (or thats how i see people drive at least) someone drifted into the fast lane which i was in while on their phone, i beeped at them and they sh*t themselves thinking there was going to be a crash!!! DONT USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING PEOPLE!!!!!!
