  1. then get wheels from rare rims they are made to fit the zed, the offsets are better and will sit better. or have a look at riks pages, he looks to be able to get hold of some nice wheels for not to bad a price.
  2. have you thought that the reason your getting slow times on the 1/4 mile might be down to the driver. i've seen up too 2 seconds difference in the same car just with different drivers. not meant to be offensive i'm sure your just like lewis hamilton but experience counts for alot and their is a nack to good launches. some of it may come with practice. as for dyno'ing it, you really want your base map to be done on the same dyno as the place that will tune it. as comparing across dyno's is the same as blind **** measuring competition. you'll only get an accurate comparison of mods if its always done on the same one. your only option i suppose would be to map it and then put it back on the same rolling road you just used. if your car is already revving up to 7500 then something has been played with. there are only 2 companies in the UK that remap the standard ECU, thats abbey in surrey and RS tuning in leeds. so if it hasn't been to either of them its possible you have a piggy back ECU. IMHO if your about 1 second off mr lizard on a quater mile and he races on a regular basis i would tend to think its the track and the driver being the cause for the slow speed. if it hasn't been mapped yet, then a remap will defo make a big difference.
  3. a USDM plate is smaller than the JDM plate. look at the lads fitting the folding plates, they are USDM size
  4. suspect if it sounds to good to be true it usually is
  5. 2nd set stew showed are the nicest although a tad pricey compared to what you were looking at
  6. interesting to know about the tow hook, will have to look into it on mine
  7. 600/800 seems a little agressive would go 1500 and work up to 2500 then finish off with a polish compound
  8. stirling job there mate, looks really good. glad you liked it and the GB worked out. as for the wobbles, i plan to use the tow hook eye thing i got from nurrish's GB, it sticks out abit, so i'm hoping the numberplate might rest against that, will let you know when i fit mine on tuesday. am really jealous you got yours on first but really impressed with the work, really like the use of trim on the mess to tidy it up i think Shire is next to get his on
  9. both look nice, but they come with really narrow tyres. if your looking for 19's rarerims had some Ace wheels in black for about £500 inc tyres, they are second hand but look in very good nick.
  10. can't believe i have to wait till tuesday to get mine on
  11. why not start a new thread to make it easy to find, then post a link to the GB to the new thread for people in the future if they find one and not the other
  12. the berks technology sounds nice, or if you have a spare 5k the zele performance exhaust looks good
  13. try refreshing the page. i find PB doesn't always load first time
  14. toffeez zed is having similiar problems as well
  15. if money is an issue just get a scorpion, looking at about £450 inc fitting and it will be stainless so should last the life of your ownership and then some
  16. at the above comment and high pressure air line
  17. you'd still need to get it painted, or if you didn't want to be without the car for that long get it wrapped.
  18. Ammended that for you Rich Would be pretty cool to have a bash at that if you know you're going to respray it after anyway like he did. so true that wasn't lack of interest, that one was lack of ability not enough hands
  19. just noticed your sig, looks very nice example of the 70
  20. was just about to suggest a tommyK badge partly why i didn't suggest the original, is 1 securing it 2, if it falls off in the hands of a local scrot bag its an expensive loss. but some form of tommy K badge would work better than the standard Zed
  21. i was really tempted to take a sharpie pen to my car after seeing that, but then remembered i have the attention span of a gold fish and i would have got bored after 1 wing and sodded it off.
  22. i only have 1 good nun joke, never learnt many even though my aunt used to be a nun
