  1. if i was putting an exhaust on a zed and keeping a y pipe, i would be looking at the tannabe hyper medalion. its a gorgeous sounding exhaust; its not metally priced and it looks very nice.
  2. they've obviously come down in price a little as last time i looked they were 2nd cheapest after camskills.
  3. hope he's not been sat their for 18 months waiting for an answer
  4. i have spare bulbs as well you could have had for 20.00 original factory bulbs.
  5. where did you do your mechanical training? Nigeria?
  6. i fitted a new engine in my mr2 roadster, same engine as previous just a lower mileage version as the older engine lost compression on cylinder 1. and when i sold the car as soon as you said new engine people went as cold as a fish. was an absolute ballache to shift. engine swap especially isn't that much work compared to doing something like an LS1 or FI install if its stock for stock install. but when the difference between a 2005 276 and a 2007 313 is less than 1500 but you not only get the engine and gear box but the bi xenon headlights, LED rear lights, upgraded centre console and possibly lower miles all still on original parts. it makes it a better buy to upgrade the whole car. my guess is you'll be looking at the best part of 1500 for engine and gear box. you'd probalby get between 500-800 for your old kit that comes out. but if you factor in buying the other parts that make a 313 what it is. you'd need to spend another 1500 at least to get lights and interior. abbey may well know of a better supply of engines at more favourable rates. but i still say its better to buy the upgraded car than swapping the engine
  7. 276 to 313 isn't much of an upgrade; especially when you factor in the money involved. we're not talking 500.00 here. for a proper step up but staying in the zed family i'd be looking at the 370Z. depends on what budget is then i suppose. if thats too much of a step up financially, then personally i'd trade in and get a 313. you'll also get the upgraded interior and headlights then as well. your old car will be easier to sell with original engine than one thats had a swap. for some reason people won;t touch engine swapped cars. so you'll be reducing your selling market and probably the price at which you can shift it. (thats from experience) also means if you change you can have a new colour as well; no need for an expensive respray. yes you'll have to redo your roof, maybe sell the grille and swap over the wheels but i think it will be a nice change.
  8. can we get husky "fixed" ? on a more serious note- most solutions tend to go straight into the guide section thats where most solutions tend to be. but agree if you solve an issue, it would be nice to say so. might stop lots ofthe repeat questions that come up
  9. i suppose its because the Vice is a key tool in making explosive devices; have they banned them all across ireland??? its a shame moddershave to suffer as other People misuse a tool. You're getting into a deep puddle mate... I'm Swedish so I call my right to be neutral = no comment... Back under this Z! Love the diff work... yeah someone said it was p!ss easy... yeah right... don't worrry, i'm only pulling your leg; i don't think all irish people are terrorists i'm just amazed at how difficult it is to find a metal working VIce. i have loads at work, but thats no use to you. as for the Diff work, its never easy but look forward to seeing the finished results
  10. i suppose its because the Vice is a key tool in making explosive devices; have they banned them all across ireland??? its a shame moddershave to suffer as other People misuse a tool.
  11. think husky has some as well
  12. i'm starting to realise why the titanic sank wasn't that built over in ireland?
  13. in most countries the dollar seems to speak a thousand words. especially if the local currency is crap
  14. yes it can be fitted with a stock exhaust, you might notice more noise; maybe use it as a stepping stone before you get a new exhausyt
  15. has B&Q not got to dublin yet?
  16. congrats on the new job
  17. honestly whats wrong with a DIY shop???
  18. just says V8 supercars and its on til 6am, set it to record, not sure if i will watch or not
  19. i haven't travelled much
  20. i saw him make an awesome recovery last year, corrected a skid where the car was actually 90 degrees form the direction it was meant to be going in. was the most awesome save i've ever seen
  21. they all have clicky axles, to be honest i've come to accept that its just a zed thing these days. unless a previous owner has fitted the uprated parts they will already haved the clicks or will get them at some point. and the impairment on driving = 0 check for a good service history, no long gaps or missed services. shoudl all be doen every 9k
  22. You wouldn't be saying that if you'd watched the Donnington round hope plato wins. should be a good race
  23. Hondas FTW
  24. yes more power = bigger clutch. to be honest i found the zed clutch quiet light considering the engine size
  25. to be honest there is mo point in doing the other things unless you're planning on getting a remap. other wise you've just created very expensive noise.
