i love it to, but my zed just doesn't compare in that respect to my old roadster. that thing was awesome. am hoping the plenum and a retune may have some effect on the exhaust note. the one thing i have noticed is that the zeds cabin is surprisingly well insulated. well in the coupe it is anyway.

must admit wasn't planning on a CF slam panel got this one cheap, but it was looking so bad it needed something, and i knew if i sprayed it that it would chip so easily.

definite heavy foot

try racoon they have centres all arounf the UK and they travel to customers as well

ah so running a little rich on the lift off , makes sense. always loved the sound of your single Ian , just dont think i could handle the volume. from what i found on the goole i was wrong, full explanation above

are those APS specific? try adam at Z1 auto, he's a member on here ,but trades in the states, and can often get things we can't

Exhaust Burble on Acceleration Some cars' exhaust systems will produce an odd burble or bubbling noise. For the most part this is deliberate when it occurs in vehicles upon acceleration, but not always. Many "street racers" and similar cars have undergone a few modifications to give them better fuel efficiency at higher RPMs. In order for this to occur, the lifters and timing mechanism for the sequence of combustion in the engine's cylinders is altered. This means that, while the engine timing will work well at much higher RPM, the combustion process at lower speeds is slightly off. The burble is in actual fact a series of lean misfirings caused by this timing which rumble out through the exhaust system. It causes no serious damage to the engine, and soon disappears once the vehicle has reached high speeds. Exhaust Burble on Deceleration An exhaust burble, or throaty popping noise which could be likened to a babbling brook, is has a different cause if it only occurs when suddenly backing off on a vehicle's throttle. Essentially, the sudden easing off the throttle causes an immediate decrease in exhaust emissions to the degree that atmospheric pressure surrounding the exhaust pipe pushes cool air up into the exhaust system. This air collides with the warm exhaust gasses and creates a rumbling not unlike thunder. Normally this will only happen if the tailpipe has too wide a diameter to maintain equalized air pressure, or there is a seam in the exhaust pipes which is not air tight. Repairs Some people like having the throaty noise of an exhaust burble; some do not. For those who do not want this sound, there are ways of fixing it. For an exhaust burble on acceleration, the engine must undergo a professional tune-up including resetting the timing mechanism and lifters; keep in mind this will decrease high speed engine performance, but increase the quality of performance at low speeds. For exhaust burbles upon deceleration, the seams of the exhaust pipe must be sealed against unwanted air entry, or the pipe must be swapped out for one of a smaller diameter to maintain equalized pressure between exhaust and the surrounding atmosphere.

pops are un burnt fuel being ignited burbles, not so sure about need to have a think

i knew it was carbon, it has a greyish black tint to it looks very good

huskies is stock and does it alot as well, more so than mine does. i get a little bit

heavy foot try putting the air con on smooths out the idle and makes pull aways a little smoother

your best bet is to tell us what your budget is, are we talking under £500 £500-£1000 £1000-£1500 £1500 and above we know what you like so we might be able to guide you in the right direction,

looks really nice and the black lip is a lovely touch

someone like wicked wheels would charge you about £40 to fix that

ebay, you can get any size you like, lots of variety

you won't get a remap out of them especially at nearly £400 your solution then if the seller is paying will be O2 spacers, about £25-£35 from Zmanalex i think. that will fix the problem a remap should mean that the engine is making better use of all the mods and should mean it won't throw a fault code, i'm sure thats the gist of what mark at abbey was telling me. he's the man to speak to and will tell you exaclty what a remap will and won't do

no ones tried it that i know of, but it is very thick vinyl and if after 18 months its looking tired, peel it off and re apply a new bit. that area there should be fairly easy to fit

glens said most of what i would have said as for TD vs Y vs XYZ its all very close, when playing around with NA on this car there isn't alot to be had. i can recommend the invidia but as yet i don't know what its total outcome will be as its not going on the dyno till friday. i would say the new g300 version is better than my g200 as it uses an x pipe to scavenge between the pipes. go with what you like db are the b all and end all, its tone and resonance, you don't want something that booms in the cabin, you can have loud without boomy. i had a custom built hayward and scott system on my old mr2 and with a TRD manifold it was about 105 db and was awesome, but crucially i didn't get any cabin boom. it was just loud get to a meet and try them out, see what you like. just remember the exhausts sounds different once under load.

must admit i was unsure of it before getting some but i really like it, in some ways i actually prefer the dry carbon look

o2 spacers will help cure it, but the best cure would be to get the engine tuned in to use them properly go to abbey get a remap

This is a kind of follow on thread ages ago i posted a pic of my slam panel i got second hand, i had cleaned it up and fitted it. but to be honest i haven't been to happy with it, it still looks really knackered and just wasn't doing the engine bay any favours. as you can see in the picture below so i decided to spruce it up abit. i had some spare DI-NOC carbon fibre vinyl laying around so i thought i'd skin it in total took me and a sharp knife about 30 minutes to do, and must admit it was the easiest job i've done in a long time. i thought i'd post this now, but there is more to come, might get pics up tonight if i finish it, but i'm off to the pub in a bit so will have to wait till later

speed bumps = fine pot holes = fine pot holes in front of speed bumps = i'm not lowered but run a nismo n1 front usually fine but had the above situation once in a very bad slip road off the a14 to a service station. if your lowered and kitted it can be a nightmare. tomtom really need to release a modders nav, that routes you around and away from speed bumps

Was that from the film 'Dude wheres my Car ?' nope a slightly miss spent youth But Does the ECU use a 'rolling code' ? if i remember rightly on older cars the code didn't cycle, so the infared signal is the same every press. newer cars are fitted with a system that cycles the signal each press, and the car is set up to change each time. both the keyfob and the car follow the same mathmatical pattern so they always match up. this si supposed to stop people cloning the code when you use the keyfob and then using it themselves when your not there. with the zed i'm not sure what system is fitted.

nurrishes car is going to be extremely good at porshe baiting
