Welcome! 

Hiya.

nope didn't in the end.

its a rev-up, 38k on clock 

1.5 hours into 3 hour journey. Just coasting along at 80ish then cut out on me. Feels like a fuel flow issue.

Starts fine, usual rev surge (assuming that is normal) on start up, tries to settle then cuts out.

they had to stop traffic on M3 to get the car rescued... 

Guys,

broken down, waiting for RAC.

engine starts all good just the throttle doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there summit I can kick? 

any ideas?

cheers

Bit of Zed fest around Boscombe/ Southbourne Today

silver 54 coupe

dark blue k8 private coupe

white 54 coupe black wheels

any one on here? 

Impromptu meeting that only one of us knew about ;-)

Outside garage on Cleveland road.

looking very cleeeean! 

Not too far away in walden. Will come along if I'm about.

no lairy colours or spoilers I'm afraid ;-)

Has anyone tried to fit these tweeters and crossovers into the door of a 350z?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253132427288 

they are from a MK 6 Golf

ignore the price as the chap is dreaming but they do look like they may go, so interested to know if anyone has thought the same or had a go?

from what I can see the speaker itself will sit too proud so not too worried about that.

Looking for a Y piece and centre piece primarily but interested to see what (if anything) anyone has.

thanks

Dibs if kayjay doesn't go for them

Thanks chaps.

In the hope that someone might have a pair sat in a drawer or something...

Let me know if you do! (and you wanna sell em ;-)

Dang it

Missed these - where did you get them from originally?

Thanks

127k on the clock, and no invoice history on a clutch. However, it's heavy and can be like a switch so suspect its been upgraded at some point in its life. 

You boys have 100k miles on me!

Just stalled it nicely :-*> , seems tight enough - was just worried about bit point height but that could be me just getting used to it.  First sports car for a while!

This list of things I "thought" i might need to do is getting smaller :-)

Clutch in mine was up to 70K and felt fine it was the slave cylinder that killed off my clutch. unless someones been roasting yours horrendously it should be fine :).

Best news today - not been abused so should be OK. Maybe just getting used to the slightly agricultural feeling between 1 and 2 (car still only a month or so old to me)

Hold back on the in car entertainment stuff too - a few times a year [insert various car audio websites here] have big blow out sales and you can get great deals, I got my touch screen JVC with BT etc for £130.

Been toying with that... thing is I actually prefer the stereo off and listening to the tune of the engine... and am particular on ICE if I am going to do it. 

Thing is modern tech moves so fast and in a way the Zed is the oasis away from all of that!  

Just sat down and thought, right what am I going to do to the Zed to get it to where I want to. 

These are just general wear and tear things plus the odd improvement

Essential (next 12 months)

Clutch - £750  (maybe new fly wheel too) - Feels OK but zed has done 38k and 40k seems to be the expected life?

Tyres - £600 - new fronts defo as starting to crack where the car was sat not being used

Spacers - £200

Brakes - £480 - squeaking but stopping well for now, will probably take the chance to upgrade

W Brace - £450 - looks like a cadburys flake

Re-roof - £850 - Still water tight, just a couple of tiny tears in the usual corners

Stereo

Fit Kit - £70

Head Unit - £429

Speakers x 4 - £250

Amp -  £300

Fitting/ Parts - £150

Quick Q - I "think" these prices seem about right, any wisdom on where I can make some savings at all?

Nicely lowered Mean looking parked up on the London road 

Hello and welcome - new myself and a great bunch on here! 

I used these for the cleaning bit at least - came up a treat. The car had been treated when new with some sort of coating which has helped keep it looking mint all these years but the lights were almost yellow - now crystal clear after a couple of wipes.

Label sounds like they would strip anything off anything, but they are not that powerful so happy to use on the car (alloys, lights, plastics)

Will have a look at re-coating them now I have seen this

They sure do. It's a small start, but I can fee the zeditis starting to set in! 

Bigger things to do in the v near future!

Have PM'd zmanalex he has some in stock £35 each.

All sorted through zmanalex

zeds got its face back to normal!

Yeah seems that is one of his other websites.

Asked him the thrid-party Q, this is what I got - Everyone is liable only for damages to their own car so if you hit someone else they pay to repair their car and you pay to repair yours. That's why insurance on a track day is a good idea, as you can't account for what other drivers are on the track and their actions could write your car off.

Will work on seeing if he can do something for us... if you don't ask....

Hola and Welcome - new myself!

Nice day light running lights
