...or when they measure it at the pits good for MOT's, they'll be measuring the gases at the back, when in truth they could be shooting out the side

zeds possibly one of the safest RWD cars to start off in, as RWD goes its very progressive, very planted and very predictable. i would say the zed is a great first step in to the world of RWD. decent tyres will solve most issues, dont turn TCS off for a while as you learn the car and the trick with RWD is smooth. smooth acceleration, smooth braking, smooth steering. as for tuning it has the same problems as the celica, mucho £££ to get any decent gains.

might as well keep it manual control, set it open for when you want a hoon, turn it closed for sedate or track work where decibel limits exist.

I know another company that has a control box that can do it on rev boundaries or on manual control. as for 2 into 1 and back to 2 my setup has an X pipe so it kind of does that, which enables exhaust gas scavenging. which helps to keep both sides of the engine balanced. i think you plan for a section where ti comes back together might be a bit restrictive. as it won;t work like an x pipe, but colide in the middle. having 2 does not double the sound, same as having 2 exhaust back boxes doesn;t, the engine makes the same level of noise, you'll just have to outlets for the gas.

did X ever boil rabbits on the stove?

the owner needs to find a new garage, looks like someone fitted the wrong size tyres, and the wheels look like they're about to fall off or the suspensions broken fronts ok, rears not so good, don't think its the best kit for the zed, looks better on the 70

its like the emperors new clothes looks jut like the last 2 phones, thinner and light should be a given as tech is moving so quickly. same with screen and battery tech. apple used to be a trend setter that everyone else plays catchup with, but it looks like they've gone a bit stagnant i'm sure its top spec and high quality, but it is no longr set apart from the competition; its the same as the others so why pay the apple premium what is it an apple phone can do now that others can't? they have also just lost google maps and street view with their next update

Tough, it's going on. There's not exactly loads to dislike the spoiler as its basically the OEM on steroids. I've always thought the rear needed a spoiler but never wanted to drill into the carbon. At least if I don't feel it works I can detach it and sell onward. you've already painted over the carbon so drilling holes makes very little difference i voted for the spoiler, car looks unfinished without something on the bootlid. but the car doesn't need or want some stupid large wing either. the blitz one is perfect for the car and finishes off the rear.

Depends how long i can bare it for No no no Dave, you come to me you don;t understand you go and see dave, not to see dave, but for the fun of the tunnel on the way home. its the best exhaust note tester in the country

drinks enough as it is without running rich

could self fund the driving courses, and do them externally, my mates dad did many moons ago when he left the paras.

if your in the forces and about to leave, do they still invest in leaving, and pay for training etc, if so get something like your HGV licence. means you can go out and earn cash straight off, and if you are independent you have the freedom to pick up work when you need it. especially if you don;t mind doing the long hauls abroad. and if you pick up more HGV licences the money goes up. things like crane, haz chem, liquids etc. should give you a starting point where you can then go out and take time off from driving to do training in other areas that interest you like mechanics etc.

it was the guys at driftworks on here selling them, think josh speed bought from them same with pipe diameter etc, makes me laugh when guys with little 1.1 engines stick big bore exhausts on with giant cans, its like farting in a cave engine must drop about 15% in performance, but feel quicker as it makes so much noise

the vinyl route shows potential as the training is quick, so you can get yourself working and earning quickly. hexis do a range of courses from start up to goinging pro. all worth a doing, and once you have them all it makes you hexis certified. think you can do the same with 3M as well. get both under your belt. then do some discount work for forum members. get some good photos of work done, and start building a promo portfolio. i can help you with vinyl supply. and happy to do it at cost price i.e. 0 profit on my behalf. once your hexis qulaified you can do your own ordering sarah at hexis does all my stuff and she's great. even happy to take photos for you with my DSLR can even help you photoshop and put logos and watermarks on etc.

still researching all the necessary stuff. last thing i'd want is a horrible rasp out of the exhaust, and i don;t want it to be just noise, but a quality note. exhausts are like instruments, make someting to short or put it in the wrong place and you get a duff note. or a rasp, or drone etc etc etc. all those kind of sounds are due to poor research and bad exhaust building.

thats the plan, they won't be visible, but exit just behind the front wheels. its on the list, but other things need to come first.

some choices available. option 1 go do some qualifications in it. possibly train the next few years, join or start a company go from there. option 2 try to find a garage that will employ you as a basic. and then train you up. rare as rocking horse poop these kind of situations, but not impossible. down side is you start at the botom and work your way up. option 3 go into a career that you are qualified for, pick up some tools and spray kit, book on to some courses and train yourself. do it as a hobby to start with, maybe offer services to others on here. and progress form there. ..... there are wrapping courses that you can go on, to train up as a wrapper could be done over a 6 week period, but there are a lot of people doing it out there. so alot of competition, maybe start there and add to the skills basis over time. things like mechanics and painting take time to build up the skills required, same as flying and learning to drive. the more practice and time spent behind the wheel the better you get. what about looking at joining the AA or similiar, don't they train their own mechs up?

it will sound like this Thats my car running straight from the cats. which is about where the cut outs will go anyway, so the sound will/should be identical to this.

yes but his exhaust is a singular pipe after the cats. mine is dual system setup front to back. so no single pipe to cut into, if i only did one side, the exhaust system would be unbalanced and thats not a good thing.

i like the popple and bangs on the over run. at some point this is going on to my V8, but i haven't got round to it as i need 2. also going to build side exit exhausts for them to move the sound out from under the car to the sides. i remember husky doing this to his zed. don;t know if it was location or what, but it was an uncomfortable loud, not a good loud. had to drive with the windows down as the revurb in the cabin was ear bleeding. then there were issues with the valve sticking. i would guess it would sound best on a 50/50 setting.

need to see some better pics, in those the detail of the wheel looks lost. i'm sure they look alot better in the flesh

my garage charge £30 an hour don't know what the over heads are but i'd say £20 an hour seems about right. but he's motorsports qualified. some garages charge more in other areas or makes. jag dealerships in my area charge £110 an hour, but i'm confident the mechs dont see that.

good find, just lost 2 hours to lander
