  1. wow love that colour, that is a rare one. as for the stickers on the visors, you could always get something to cover it. have seen nismo stickers to go over it. maybe not what your looking for but you could find something to your liking. or possibly change them out and fit new visors, any kindo fo removal of labels will leave a mess.
  2. i think this is what subzero had on his; i experienced it first hand, and was quite impressed
  3. one of the things i do is to try and rehearse answers for questions i think might come up. having a well planned answer can take the stress out of an interview as you feel more prepared for it. and your able to give consise answers without rambling on while your brain tries to think of the actual answer.
  4. When I had mine I put it in eco mode once when the weather was bad... felt like I was towing a caravan How do you put it in Eco mode!? Mine's a 2004 and as far as I'm aware there isn't a button for it! you need a throttle controller; this is an aftermarket item
  5. my popular line for door slammers "do you want to leave it on the hinges" normally said in a sarcastic but cross voice
  6. whos using smileys badly i hope its not me i'm very careful how i use them and i always try to make sure my posts aren't but i know i make beavis do this and now i dont have a zed i sometimes feel like this but having a stook is
  7. Just wanted to say, love the signature picture/animation. My top is down as long as its dry People see me driving in to work think I am nuts thanks, sadly i can;t take the glory for it; its off the S2000 club forum. but it was so fitting for me
  8. i've found on the last 3 cars i've had; fiddling with the exhaust has made fuel economy worse. i would suspect that without a decent remap to retune the engine to take advantage of the better flow this is an expected outcome, hi flows on the zed made the biggest impact on my economy on the zed, i lost about 2-3 mpg once they were fitted.
  9. i had mongoose on my 306GTi6 was very good
  10. must admit its not a common choice for zed owners, not seen a review on here before, could be the first and try it out, if its good others will soon follow.
  11. i like the people who say; "why didn't you buy a more economical car then?" wonder if they'll be singing the same tune when petrol goes over 1.50 a litre or even more. LPG offers the petrol fun at reduced costs; i cant see the harm, especially when LPG isn't increasing in cost as quickly as petrol is.
  12. is this since you sold your old turbo mr2?
  13. If money was no object why would you care about fuel consuption Also audi 3.0 v6 mapped to 300bhp as fast as it is, souless engine. the question never mentioned cost; and the audi engine is actually quicker than the zed; then engine may be souless but in a zed body it should make the combination alot better. it also means i wouldnt need to drive like a grandad to eek out mpg; could still drive hard and easily get 30 mpg, or take it easy and get 50 mpg. ... as for driving style the brake pedal is the hugest issue with fuel consumption, everytime you brake you have to use more fuel to get back up to speed. controlling the speed by just lifting off and reapplying the gas to maintain a speed is far more economical. leaving decent braking distances etc weight reduction etc all helps
  14. I remember reading that somebody somewhere has tried it. Afaik it didn't turn out well in the end - and the obvious counter-argument is: if economy is an issue, buy a Toyota Prius! need to make sure its a reputable system preferably with self lubricating valves, and keep it well maintained. like any mod like FI etc it needs regualr check and maintanence. i don't know what the original person did, but alot of people think its a fit and forget mod. its not. if done properly (thats the key word) then it should be fine; do your research.
  15. i think T0S 53R 1 is already in use (only kidding beavis) what ideas you got for one, are you going to try and spell a word or something else in mind. i've seen a couple with my initials like RJT F5 and other variants etc which are around the 300 note mark. my personal view on them is get something that can be swapped about on cars, if you go car specific it makes it a very short term item. i hope to have one i can give to a child wehn they are older (if i have kids)
  16. seen any other decent cars? maybe get some pics up if you have a camera
  17. if money was no object, then i'd take the 3.0 litre v6 diesel out of the audi a5 and drop it in the zed. that should see a combined cycle of around 50 mpg
  18. nice looking beast, i know husky knows a bit about it.
