I get on average about 30MPG thats with my daily commute along the M4 of 35miles each way. I do have some A and B road fun in there though On the argument of 99RON+ vs 95RON boggo std stuff, I find that with 99RON I get enough extra in terms MPG to cancel out the extra expense of using it. I guess it probably gives me a wee bit more power, but its not noticable from what I've seen, although I've only used 2 tanks of it out of the 100 or more of 99RON! Dont worry about 3FIDDYZ either, he picked a silly username and has been bitter ever since. Aint that true Mark And now you've found that search button, you're all set. Most things have been covered before. And if the search button dont find it, try googling it with the site name it the search. Google is sometimes better at searching the site than our search funtion

Lightweight I stole Adrians old Nismo and put it on my car. Now he wants it back as it sounds the nutts and his isnt loud enough. Time for the BuddyClub mate! My fuel consumption is now down the pan as I drive everywhere with the windows open and booting it

adncd: Might be useful to list the actual sizes of the tyres to avoid confusion

Got mine of a company called Delsa Motorsport on eBay. However they seemed to have stopped trading last time I tried to find them They have a website, but they dont do everything they used to.

I shall let you more experienced Hooners decide on the details, just let me know what I need to book and where I need to be Zedfest would be good, but Amanda dont have enough holidays to get the rest of that week off up to the weekend. We can only do a week in total and I think she'd rather see the lovely Scottish scenery than sit in a field

Yeah I think it would be good to work out some kind of vague itinerary. Just like where people are planning to stay and what they are up to (if they are planning to do stuff with the club of course!). Me and the +1 are planning to make a week of it, but have no idea what to do in the time. I was hoping there would be some club "excursion" to see the sights

You need to play drunken CS! We used to play at uni on the LAN when everyone came back from a night out absolutely trollied. Was brilliant fun, knife only fights were always a laugh

If it was oil, you got off bloody lightly! As Mart says, usual causes are worn or incorrect tyres. Were you giving it progressively more beans as you went around the corner? If you stab the pedal, I have found sometimes it puts enough power through the wheels to kick the TC in momentarily and then it plays silly buggers for a second or so. I also find that unless you give it constant throttle around large bends the Zed can be a little unsettling. Weirdly, it seems to like more throttle to settle it into a corner than just maintanance throttle

I'll go anywhere matey, you know me The route in TG looked good, some nice photo ops up there. Was a bit worried when they didnt take the SLR some places, are these the extra bits you do? Was just trying to work out what date we'd be going up as my mum wants to visit relatives around that time and would convoy up with us, but I think it clashes with her holidays. Saves me the hassle of doing shifts in the Zed and her A4!

It's normal, windshield has higher priority, thus the headlamp wash will stop before the windshield will. It's also a good indicator to top up your screenwash. +1 - thats how I usually tell I need to do mine when the weather is crap (ie most of the time in this country!)

That would be brill mate, just about the time I'd have the money to get the retrim done. Where I recoloured the leather on my seats its wearing though to the Alezan on the drivers side Just need to find a good retrimmer who doesnt charge the earth

I was tempted to have them as donor seats while mine got re-trimmed until I realised it was pick up only and miles away from me

+1 Must be a pic somewhere

Bit far for me to travel in a day, but if I'm even in the Logica office in Altrincham, I'll give you a call Mike, we can wire them up in the car park I must warn you I've never been to that office in 3yrs, so its unlikely to happen! Wales Run maybe

Just re-read the OP post and you might be right. Would have thought it would take a bit of effort to blast out the copper grease though Did this happen since they were fitted or only since they were washed?

+1

See his sig in his post above Mine has a Zed shell

+1 - I thought thats why they stopped offering them. Interesting to see how you get on matey

What discs and pads have you had fitted? Usually with high performance pads its because they need bedding in properly. There are links to a few guides on here if you do a search.

Looks good matey WRT to low profile jack, just drive up onto some planks of wood and then jack it up, saves buying a new jack

Ta Just been back and read page 6, doesnt look like things have moved on as much as I thought since I last posted

Are we doing the week before or after the weekend? Sorry havent had time to keep up with the thread Anyone bring me up to speed in one sentance?

Its a bit of trial and error mate. On the passenger side there is a nice lip as the dash goes under into the footwell. On the drivers side there is similar, but you have to lift the steeringwheel up first as the plastics are tight. As for fittings, I used bits of Velcro and that holds it nicely, allowing for adjustment as I put it all around the light strip so you can rotate it to get the right angle.

... i dont think i have any. I dont remember putting them on when i first fitted the wheels last august, and i definitely didnt put any on yesterday. Anyone know where to buy? Are they standard/generic? I beleive they are quite specific to the car/wheel. I guess there must be standard sizes for them though. Some of the traders should be able to help out with the specifics.

You most definately get what you pay for with carbon. Use trusted makes that are backed up with trader/owner testimonials. Fitment for things like carbon lips can vary massively, and you pay to have perfect fit and weave.
