Hi guys, Im going to take my K1 off the car this weekend and go back to the standard exhaust. I bought it 2nd hand on here in March this year, and its probably covered around 1500 miles since then. Im selling it because i dont really like the sound of it - i think its cos my car's an auto, it sounds a bit wrong? The engine doesn't rev in the same way as a normal car, and when you hear that amplified 10x louder, it sounds a bit daft - so im going to return to stock See the thread i bought it from here. Price the same as what i paid please - £225 collected (yes it fits in the zed!). You'll have to get a quote for a courier if you want it shipped, but i can wrap it if needs be. I cant accept any lower unfortunately as im skint, and need to pay for a P3 and replace my disks and pads this next month...! It includes the rear cans and the mid-pipe NOT the Y-pipe. Pics to follow tonight. Cheers Chris.

Provided i can get my car sorted in time, i'll be doing this again... i need brakes and a service asap! When do you reckon i'll have to be booked onto it Steve, to make sure i get a place? Also, come on guys - i really recommend you do this. It doesn't seem to get much interest which is disappointing - it was seriously the best thing i've ever done, and it doesn't wear your tyres at all...! I did 70miles of drifting when i was there in April and was on track from 9am till 5pm - with barely 30seconds wait between laps.

Next...! I have the .psd (photoshop) file if you want me to email it to you... this can then be easily selected when editing.

Went to see this tonight but i was a little dubious after the last film. All i can say after watching it is WOW! Im well happy with it... Christian Bale is really good, and the story is excellent. Its definitely a fans film, rather than a cash in. If you're a fan, make time to see it.

To me this sounds more like an alarm/immobilizer issue? Immobilizer kicks in, stoping the engine from running, but all other electronics work? I've flattened my battery while parked before now while listening to the radio, and the screen goes off etc and i could restart, making me think that this isnt a battery issue.

I love Irish jokes. What happened when the irishman tried to blow up a bus? He burnt his mouth on the exhaust pipe.

Mine is a tiptronic, and thats where the sport/normal/snow mode button goes. Then i've put a similar switch to my head up display in the 2nd slot... not found anything to put in slot 3 yet

I dont know how common this would be on a zed but on my old bmw forum's we used to have hundreds of these types of posts, and 9 times out of 10 it was the bushes that needed replacing. They often look okay but when under load they give and allow the control arms to hit their housing, giving a loud clunking noise. But like i said, im not saying thats the problem - just a possibility.

Is it a constant noise - i.e. related to wheel rotation? As if it is then its not related to any loose body parts...

Ugh... im so disappointed with F1 this year... The last 2 seasons have been the most exciting in recent memory - but what the hell have they done this year? I've not even watched a single race - its not a sport anymore.

Am sorry to hear this mate... Cant you drive it to cyprus??

Boll*cks i was going to go to this and i forgot all about it...!

I actually like these iQ's. I detest city cars, but the iQ looks good... i like the front end styling and would like to see its que's cross over onto other toyota's such as the rav4.

Thats brilliant!

I love it!

Yep - they do look good!

Links are all the same colour as text on this new forum for me... is that the same for you lot too?

Thanks, can you let me have the contact details? PM Sent.

You still haven't listed what tyres are on them...

What looks great, i cant see anything?

Excellent place in Macclesfield. Family run business (father and son) and they do superb work. Very descent prices too...

Brilliant write up.. . I was supposed to be going this summer but funds haven't allowed it. Great pics too. Am interested in the bmw 116 bit too... thats ace!

Welcome mate. Have u had a rear wheel drive car before? You cant put the power down at will like you can in a front wheel drive car - you have to respect it at all times.

Hi all, I think there's something up with my zed. Its happened 4 times now in the last 2 weeks... twice in the last 2 days! I have an automatic, and when driving in auto-mode it changes up and down gears when your revs get to a certain point. You dont know which gear you're in though, so its hard to diagnose where exactly this problem occurs. Whats happening is when im going slowly but in a high gear, say 15mph in 4th, usually up hill, the car is not changing down a gear when it normally would. I have to press the throttle to make it rev in order for it to recognise the load and change gear. What happens if i dont do this is the revs drop very low, the gear lever shakes, and the car come close to stalling. This only happens for 1 or 2 seconds max though before changing gear. Even worse, today when i pressed the throttle to make it rev - the throttle travelled about half of its length before it registered input! Also i dont know if im imagining it as im listening out for every noise at the moment, but it feels like its struggling to go up hills, as if its lost torque. As i said, this has only happened 4 times so far, lasting at most 2 seconds each time, but its cause for concern i think? Im thinking throttle position sensor may be something to do with this (i dont know WTF this is, but it sounds like it could be related!), but could it be the auto-box or do they have a clutch or something? Cheers.

I love it and would have a satin black car any day.
