Welcome Dave. Sorry to hear about the issues. I would definitely travel a bit further and use a trader on here to do the work who have done the gaskets and clutches many times and know what they are doing if you are replacing the clutch, make sure you choose a new one that it right for you and what you want from the car.

Yep. The 3 different coatings I sell all state car must remain dry for 12 hours to fully cure. You will prob have to polish area and re apply as ilogikal says. but speak to relevant supplier for advice.

Looking stunning Olly. Second best wheels in my opinion But seriously, its come together beautifully. Wonder how many sets of those wheels are actually in the uk?

Cheers Adrian, will get the betamax set to record.

A belated hello. And a rare midnight blue

Welcome along

Welcome David, your pic confirms that no matter if its a 350 or 370, black is the best colour. I am bias

Welcome to the club Lee

Forgot to post up after Japanese performance show at Coventry in August. Great day with the club. Lots of amazing cars like last year and great talking to everyone on our club stand. and also saw my next car (wishful thinking) might not be ro everyones taste but love the retro vibe. Also started my own business venture you may have seen from another thread. Waxandshine.co.uk you too could have a car as shiny as Shezza!

Welcome along

Welcome Luke

Nice Zed. Welcome Stubzee. Make sure you wear a surgical mask when you go near it or you may contract the incurable zeditis.

Y I Paul, Welcome along.

Welcome along Andy. You have the prestige of being my first welcome of many now i am a trader. We need a pic though

Definitely interested in this but will have to wait till end of month to book. How much extra is it for nice weather in December though?

Buy a crappy old motorbike of his own, doesn't even have to be a runner and leave that there as and when required.

Lots of traders on here will have new oem or aftermarket options. Tarmac sports, cougar store, clark motorsport, torqen etc.. If you are planning on lowering in the future you may as well get adjustable arms, if not then standard is fine. Zmanalex will prob have new or used available so plenty of options.

That to me is the camber arm. I have eibach adj arms and they are straight although the oem ones and many others do have a slight bend in as the guys say. If it is severly bent your camber and toe may well be way out as well. Just compare it to the other side.

My last diff before i had it replaced had a couple of the fins broke which may have been a result of someone doing this, im not sure, but the main diff housing behind is smooth so can you just reach the trolley a little further underneath?

Just read the last line with an open mind, it leaves things open to much interpretation. The posts above are just trying to keep you and the garage out of trouble, not an attack. Hope this helps fella.

Full set of Leds installed, see my build thread for full details, you can tell difference in daylight so will look realy great at night.

Look who its sent from as well, and your known as Mr Value Customer! They must make many many ugandan dollers out of you. From Natwest but logo as Halifax. Whats scary is people DO Actually fall for these and respond.

Update 11/08/17 part 2 whilst the car had all the bits off and it was such a faff removing everything I thought I would help bring the zed into 2017 with the help of some LEDs. With it being a HR it already has the led rear brake cluster and xenon headlights so the rest of the bulbs were letting it down. This is what i purchased online for £70 after checking the definative bulb list on here and double checking the actual fitments I can confirm these are all correct to replace the rear indicators, (amber x2) rear fog and rear reverse light (white) rear number plate (white x2) and side indicators (amber x2) Now in my usual fashion, I bought these and fitted them only to find out that my indicators now blink at 300 times a second. Hyperflash I believe is the common term. This for all you other novices is due to the leds drawing less power and having less resistance than standard bulbs. The car thinks a bulb is blown so flashes fast as a warning sign. It might also be because the resistance is less resulting in a faster flash. I lost interest reading online. Anyway the solution is either to replace the flasher control module (easier but not possible on a zed as it doesnt have one) or wire in resistors to the circuit. So after more searching i found that people use 50w resistors at anywhere from 4ohms to 8ohms. So I purchased some at 6ohms from Amazon, only £8 for two. You need one per indicator. You dont actually need any for the number plates, reverse light or fog light as the are constant on or off. The resistors come with wire attached and splices to cut into existing wires but as i already had a solder gun and solder wire i wanted a more permanent fix. I also read that some resistors burn out over time so people put connectors onto them so its a quick change over if they do. I decided to do this and took a trip down to maplin to buy 2 male connector blocks, 2 female and a metre of each red and black 1mm wire. I stripped the cable on the existing indicator wires and cut approx 400mm of wire i had bought then soldered together, wrapped in electricsl tape and put the connector block at the other end of the 2 wires which uses a crimp type thing to hold the wire, pic below You have to mount the resistors to metal as apparently they can get very hot and melt plastic so i found a perfect spot on either side of the car shell behind the bumper, connected the female connector block to the 2 wires and secured with a 18-25mm jubilee clip. I added a thin layer of foam behind the resistor just to cushion everything. Think it looks rather neat. You can then connect the male and female connectors together when you re-install the rear bumper and there is plenty of slack on the wires. Pic below. Just to note: it does not matter which wire from the light you connect to which wire from the resistor, and people also said that leds only work one way round in the fitting, I had all mine work 1st time round then took them all out, fitted resistors and they all worked second time so dont think it makes any difference. and finally tested all ok. This shows the indicator in bright daylight which was still impressive so should look awesome at night. The other leds as I mentioned before just swap straight over. The side indicators housing needs to be released from inside the arch so needs the front liner off. All in all very impressed and indicators now flash as normal so can confirm the resistors are correct. Anyone wanting to do this as i have will need: Leds as 1st pic (approx £70) online/ebay 1mtr red 1mm wire, 1mtr black 1mm wire, 2no female plastic connector blocks, 2no male plastic connector blocks (approx £15) Maplin 2no 50w 6ohm resistors with splices £8 Amazon 2no 18-25mm jubilee clips £3 Halfords optional: solder gun and solder, backing foam, electrical tape.
