insurance payouts would be in turnips and haggis. As they wouldn't have their own currency and Europe won't have them.

its cos scotlands not a real place, its like having an accident in limbo

looks very nice, and if thats the original paint work then that is a rare import car. not many made in white, and even fewer made it over here.

look like the seats out of riks old car, or is that riks old car with a swap bodykit from veilside to nismo, as that was also pearl white as well.

Look good

they aren't too bad, just find good independents and shop around.

Some people trap hoses or other items between the plenum when refitting, leaving a leak. Also check all hoses are reconnected.

Posting about it isn't helpful without info, you've mentioned on the sale thread but again no specifics. Have you contacted the moderation team to see if they can resolve it?

Need to be more specific, what was the issue? Did it not fit? Was it damaged?

interesting

mine is a personal preference, i swapped from zed to S2K and was much happier, i prefered the interior of the honda, i liked the high transmission tunnel and the snug feel as it was like getting into a race car (if you could visually block out the passenger seat. i preffered the honda gear change, nd for driving out of Vtec its actually fine. lots of people give this impession that its a snails crawl up to 6000 rpm and then its like a turbo boost. its not, there is only a subtle difference between in and out of v tec, but the advantage is that what power and torque you have is with you all the way to 9000 rpm. i found i had more fun in the s2k pootling with the roof down, as it brought a smile to my face in the summer, where as i had the coupe zed and i always felt i had to thrash it to make it feel like it was doing anything. zed power is very linear, so you have to go very fast to feel like your going a bit fast. (if that makes sense) in the honda becuase of the revving etc there is alot more drama, so feels faster at lower speeds. the s2k has gained the nickname widow maker with insurance companies, its more than capable at getting ts rear out, so many people do its meant that the S2k is a higher insurance bracket than the zed. you don;t need tonnes of torque to get the rears to slide you just need to learn how to drive properly. both zed and s2k are at the limits of their tuning, yes you can spend thousands buying shiney bits for them, and you'll make them louder etc but only gain a small amount. both need FI to gain any real performance increase and both cost thousands to do so. for me the zed is a better beginners car, its more forgiving if you get it wrong, the s2k is a bit more knife edge, when its there its fantastic but push to hard and it punishes yo alot more than the zed did. and i think part of that comes down to the weight. but if both cars are well set up with good tyres, and a good geo setup both can be good cars for both track and drifting. both my cars were daily drivers, yes the zed is better on a long haul with a passenger as there is more cabin space, but both cars are useable. out of the 2 cars i miss my s2k, and i don;t miss my zed. but this is my opinion, you need to find what suits your driving abilities.

Having owned both, I'd say the S2k

i remove bird poop by soaking kitchen towel in water and laying it over the mess. it rehydrates the poop and makes it easier to wipe off. its a good temporary measure to clean the doodoo off without having to worry about a whole car clean.

oh dear, not a happy bunny would love to have been listening to the last phone call you had with ford

I've got one and love it, best car I ever bought and will be very sad when I sell at the end of the year. I'm happy people have stereo types of cars makes me laugh. I'm 31 and have the xkr. Cracking car.

looking at those pictures i think you can sometimes have too much carbon, or if its the fact that you have different weaves and finishes that make it look not as good as it should.

where in the UK are you? there maybe members locally who can either help you out, or reccomend somewhere.

if you get it dave we can have our own little mini meets....well at least for the next 12 months.

there is no :drool: smiley droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

thats a proper car if you feel dirty; its probably the same kind of dirty as having sex with 3 hot women of r 12 hours kind of dirty

T-cut is horrible stuff its an abrashive and not a good one at that, on cheap old cars T-cut is fine, but on decent paintwork like the zed i wouldn't

its just the cradle, its the adapter thats worth the money

even a machine polish might bring it back to life or some G5 polishing compound, but get a pro to do it.

have you tried caustic soda and a bag of pebbles? that is a joke before you do it. need a picture of the damage, if its just the topcoat you've scratched then a gentle spritz of laquer would do it. but you'd need to know what you are doing. if it was me i'd ring one of the smart repairers or take it to a body shop, they should be able to sort it fairly easily. i think if you try and do anything more you'll make it worse.

to be fair its been so long since i sat in a zed i have forgotten a little of what the door cards were like if they are as thin as BM says, maybe a high build primer might be a better solution, but not nowing what material they are made of i would be dubious about spraying anything on them. no one has fitted the interior parts, this is the first ever batch, still waiting on a first customer for all the new bits. looking at all the info, i'd just be inclined to buy the carbon ones, i might at some point look at dipping a set of door cards but at the moment its not high on my priorities.
