  1. If your car has had a remap with decats fitted and the rear lambda sensors turned off, then would it do any harm to the engine by refitting the cats for MOT time and for trackdays with quiet noise limits? I know you can get silenced decats but just thought it would be easier (and cheaper) just putting the cats back in when required as long as it won't do any harm.
  2. Thanks for the replies and advice! Looking like it's going to be a Kaaz Alex, that sounds very good I'll PM you in a sec
  3. I'm going to be after an upgraded LSD for my Zed soon once my tax rebate comes in, I'm not sure which one to go for. Car is used for trackdays mainly and for a bit of fun, so definitely not a daily driver so not worried about some extra noise/wheel hopping on tight slow corners. Engine is standard at the moment bar a few bolt-ons, but will be supercharging it towards the end of this year. Suspension is fully polybushed, got BC racing coilovers and am fitting SPC adjustable arms front and rear at the moment. I've been reading posts on here and I'm leaning towards a Kaaz 1.5 super Q, but also have got an eye on the Quaife ATB and the Nismo pro 1.5. Any pros/cons to each? Also was wondering about changing the final drive ratio for something with a bit more acceleration whilst the diff's apart, a 3.9 or 4.08, but a bit worried this would mean some frantic gear changing once it's supercharged! I've seen some posts saying 1st gear would be almost redundant. And finally, is there anyone around the Bristol/South West area who is recommended to fit the LSD unit to the casing, including setting it up, changing any bearings/shims etc that need doing. Thanks!
  4. I was working on my car this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a printed sticker on the gearbox with CD009 on it I was under the impression these were only fitted to later zeds, so I'm guessing my car has had a gearbox swap at some point in the past? My car's on a 55plate with a DE engine
  5. I'm very glad this thread is on here, saved me buying a crap rad as I was planning to get a Mishimoto one in the new year in preparation for going S/C hopefully next year! Got the fans with shroud that they do fitted and thought it was pretty good like you TT so was going to go for one of their rads, not now though!
  6. Hi Adrian, Do you know if you can pay off an outstanding balance early when you have taken up the 0% finance or are you tied into the set amount of months to pay it off?
  7. Ok great, I'll send you a PM in a bit about ordering them up

    NHS

    We had the same experience with St Michaels hospital in Bristol when our daughter was born in March, couldn't have asked for more, all the staff were brilliant. My sister is a Paramedic so I get to hear quite a few stories (good and bad) about the NHS
  10. Thanks for the reply Alex, do you stock all the seating cones?
  11. Evening all, I'm currently going through my car and poly-bushing the suspension and replacing any parts that are worn or a bit tired. The ball joints don't seem to have any play in them, but are a bit 'floppy' if that makes sense when they are taken out of the part they bolt into, so I'm just going to change them all while I've got the car apart for peace of mind and keeping everything in perfect condition. Are all the ball joints available separately or do you have to buy the arms with them already in? I've seen a few for sale in various places, but I don't want to put some cheap rubbish in there I want some proper quality parts. As I'm changing all the bushes on the car it seems a bit of a waste to buy a new arm and take the bush straight out to swap in a polybush, but if that's the way people do it then that's no problem. Also, are there any hints or tips to swapping them over, I've seen that some have a metal cone that the ball joint sits into, do they all have that (front and rear)? I've got access to a workshop with a decent press and loads of tools so I'm sorted in that respect. Sorry for all the questions, all this fancy multi-link suspension is quite new on me, coming from a background of e30 BMW's and 90's Peugeots!
  12. Argos clearance section on their website usually comes up with some good TV deals if you're not after the very latest tech, got a really good deal on my 55" Samsung as there was a new model of it that had just come out. Click and collect from your local store too which is handy
  13. Would it be because you have the twin intake manifolds/parts compared to the DE with just the single intake?
  14. Not noticed any swirls, but the car will need a respray at some point anyway so I haven't really looked that closely to be honest!
  15. I've had one of those covers constantly on a project car sat on my Mum's drive for over 2 years now (one day I'll get round to starting it!) and its only just starting to go a bit thin over where it touches the wing mirrors and back back bumper, so they are definitely pretty hard wearing!
  16. That's the ones! BC list the 2 different sizes on their website
  17. Evening all, I'm going to be fitting my BC coilovers at some point soon and so need to order a pair of rear adjuster extensions, and was wondering which extension suits our zeds, long or short? Long is 20mm, short 11mm. Cheers
  18. No worries, cheers for the reply I've followed them on Facebook and have started looking more into the installation, I'll see what I can find out about a reversing camera.
  19. Do you know when the app will be released? Also, has anyone said if you can get a reversing camera working with the tablet do you know?
  20. What a great idea! I'm definitely interested in doing this to mine, will have a read up. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it

  22. Should add though, I haven't really driven the car that much since it started doing it, just a couple of trackdays and driving it to and from the MOT station last week!
  23. Mines probably been doing it for 3 months or so. I have had to change a cam position sensor, and also a rear lambda sensor since I've had the car (about a year) but I can't really tie-in when it started doing it to me doing any work on the car. I also changed the plugs as part of a full service/fluid change just after I bought the car but that was a good few months before it started doing the low warm idle thing!
