Well, disappointingly I've had to sell the zed. I had to make house modifications and the zed was the quickest way to free up funds (being a grown up is rubbish). But just before I sold it, we appeared in a music video for a band called fury. Here's the link.

What's the best way to clean these filters? I'm interested if it's an easy thing to clean.

woop woop, 3 of us. -
Where in derby are you from? I live in derby too and it's a fairly quick trip to Silverstone.

We have a stand for trax in October. I highly recommend it, lots of car geek stuff not just jap stuff. It's at Silverstone in October.

Cheers guys. The headlights are devisive, but have a definite 'look at me' effect. Need to get some kind of side skirt, and I noticed a bit of brake fade after a spirited drive with a guy in an m2, so have ordered EBC discs and yellow stuff pads. Not in a huge hurry to fit as I don't drive on track or anything, but I just know it'll bug me.

Nice. I love these high speed auto boxes.

A couple of recent snaps... japfest and sunny days... God I love my zed.

I've not updated in a little while, but I've done a couple of restorative bits, and replaced my fan shroud with moshimoto fans. I noticed before I put the car away for winter that with the ac on only the n/s fan was spinning. When high speed was needed both fans engaged, but I couldn't live with the idea that i was driving a ticking time bomb of future failure. The fitment went well aided by the fact I run a garage and I was able to use a ramp for a bit. While it was in the air I replaced my indicators with led units. In terms of the restoration, my seats, especially the drivers, after 130k miles, looked a little worn. I found a leather repair kit online, combined with some interior detailing products created a great improvement. I have some leather restoring soap that I am slowly getting the seats back to a less dried or look with.

I did mine too just before japfest. I notice a slight noise in traffic, but with full exhaust system and hfc's, I hardly notice. I checked my freeze point before fitment, and it was around -30 degrees, topped up with water as I don't carry green coolant, and it only moved to -25 degrees...I can live with that

This is what worries me about speed controlled cars, forget the usual arguments spouted by car folk, it's just one more thing we don't control. People we'l forget how to actually 'drive'. I spend a lot of my day driving other people's cars in and out of the workshop and occasional road tests, and make a point of not using parking cam's. Mirrors do me just fine, and I've not hit anything yet.

We've not had one in the few years I've been a member, which is a shame it's 2 minutes down the road from me. But too many shows and my wife will become less accepting.

TRAX SHOW @SILVERSTONE SUN 6TH OCT 2019

About 12 the year before so a good amount of growth. You get more exotic cars, lambo's and stuff at trax. At least if it's just us Andy, it'll be easy to park us in a line -
Nice, what's the chassis like? I'd love an s13, but the rot puts me off.

Early days yet mate, a lot of us like trax for the variety of cars you get.
