i'm interested to know which competitions brake pads and discs you tried out in comparision

well at the moment your driving ability is being measured on your ability to write. so i'm screwed

PIAA's are the way forward. most impressive blades i've ever used, and when used with the other solutions or rainex make for an unbeatable combo.

if i get in i'm asking for my car to be fitted with a sarnie detection unit, and a spam cannon mounted on the front

the standard ECU is very capable according to abbey m/s and reflashing that shows extremely good gains. for very little effort and cost. Abbey or RS tuning seem to know the most about the standard ECU and would probalbly be your best and first port of call for info. some have used the Haltech but its a lot of cash before you even start playing with it, i can see it being a useful addition for F/I route but not for N/A unless you get one cheap. as for the Emanage ultimate, had some small dealings with it when i had an Mr2 roadster, but not sure how well it would work with the Zed. as said before the Yanks have tried most things and might give you a good idea of where to go. might help if you explain the route you want to take and what your trying to achieve, and then you might get the info your looking for.

I get your point about cost, but I think it would be worth it. And if few people were doing it, would it not mean less drivers on the road. And would he extra cost not come back as savings later on, like cheaper premiums due to less accidents. Less accidents and holdups on motorways. That reminds me, adding to my list mandatory motorway training, to reduce middle lane riders, and improve motorway ettitquette.

are they the 5zigens mark? if so i was never a fan, but in black they look very appealing

what the hell are they using for tyres out there?

i know its not the colour your looking for but this is on the site viewtopic.php?f=56&t=24515&start=45 personally i think the azures are a bit common, if you want exclusivity within the zed community red is the way to go, very rarely see them about

someones greased his vine

sorry to hear that fiddy, hope your able to get the zed out soon

i know a while ago when the prices originally dropped it wasn't cheaper to import and buying a UK zed worked out about the same. don't know if the balance has been re addressed since prices went up?

i think you'll struggle at that price with that criteria; not saying it isn't out there, but it will bne a hard find. just beware if your at the top end of your budget these aren't cheap as chips to run. they are cheap in comparison to its rivals but it aint no fiesta.

i'm waiting on this before i go to abbey, am happy to do the dyno'ing while i'm there. discounts always welcome

last night was the first night out of the garage for mine as i stayed over at my gradparents in york. got down to -5/-7 and mine worked fine this morning.

forgot to add to my laws 3/. skid pan training should be mandatory in the driver training before you do your licence. 4/. learner drivers should spend 12 months under tution before they are allowed to sit their test. 5/. doing the advanced motoring course should be manditory and completed within the first 5 years of passing your test. 6/. winter driving techniques should be part of the test.

we shouldn't grit the roads in the first place, its part of the problem. if i was minister for transport my winter ruling would be: 1/. don't grit the roads 2/. all drivers should carry snow chains by law during the winter/snow season. my thinking is you can't use snow chains in the uk as you'd spend half you time putting them on or taking them off as you move between gritted and un gritted. apparently if you use snow chains on normal roads they ruin your tyres. that or do what the fin's do (one of the scandinavian countries) set date everyone swaps to snow tyres/studded tyres.

thanks mate

quick question ian, been setting up my digimoto 5, and when you first put the cable in it asks you what cable your using, which setting did you use?

always been slightly unsure of drilled discs as i've heard they crack more easily, hence i was tempted by the grooved only option. but if they are better than hey ho, they seem to be the choice to go for. also when you look at them they seem to have different surface finishes between ultimax and turbo grooved.

i used to use a rover 214 for pizza delivering

just registered

lol i thought they were pretty well hidden, nice attention to detail. i'm not going to be dismantling my engine to do it as i'm too lazy

since i've kitted my car, i'm unsure if i'll do any more track days in mine, so my long term plan is for EBC ultimax discs with either EBC yellow stuff or ferodo DS2500's not sure if the ultimax are better or worse than the turbo groove drilled and grooved ones they do?

i just did 500 miles without any problems, witha good set of tyres and plenty of tread it was no problem at all. did suffolk to york and the snow was crap leaving and crap at the other end but the zed did fine.
