  8. issues? wasn't it edgey with the gear knob and it was one of the first posts that raised all the dibs issues etc, with tarmac etc
  9. yep thats a member from here. i see he's only using ebay now since the last issues

    BLEEDING BRAKES

    or borrow a neighbours child to sit on the pedal
  12. never driven a car with a hinged gas pedal, only tractors
  13. pm me your address and i'll try and send you a little square to see what you think
  14. would need to get a template mocked up and then find somewhere to press them. the team are already looking at doing a normal one with engraving, might be able to get blanks and then wrap them.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. try racoon they have centres all arounf the UK and they travel to customers as well
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. pops are un burnt fuel being ignited burbles, not so sure about need to have a think
  22. i knew it was carbon, it has a greyish black tint to it looks very good
  23. huskies is stock and does it alot as well, more so than mine does. i get a little bit
