  1. Sorry Rich it is Ebisu - exactly same as my 56 registered facelift ZED (note the front bumper recess). Ebisu was introduced with the MY06 model range that were available from late summer that year. Learn something new every day Might explain why Darren-B's bumpers were resprayed Ebisu when the rest of the car is Kuro Thanks Rich was just trying to keep it real with the youth of today, with all these two tone finishes
  2. Just the Sunday? maybe after the mini meet/drive @ the wise old owl me and Colin may be able to convince you to do the Saturday also, I get back from my holiday the early hours of Friday, then im doing a days work & heading to the Moreton in the evening for last orders Now thats Zedication
  3. +1 on the wheels
  4. A man with deep pockets, Ill look forward to the pics, how about some of the stock car beforehand
  5. I cant wait
  6. TDI did Pingus car but I think he had a piggyback
  7. Only down the road
  8. You should see it go, quicker than the zed to 100mph and when you get to a corner it literally rips your face off with the shear amount of physical grip
  9. Where are you based, Abbey motorsport come well recommend by many, based in sevenoaks area, Kent. They have multiple threads on here to do with remapping etc
  10. A stock 98 MK2 MX-5, good fun little car I could park anywhere and not worry about it, now its track ready, on its ass, cut slicks, roll bar, supercharged, weighing in @ 995kg, running 204bhp with 192 torques I will be doing a build thread when I`m finished but still lots of work to be done
  11. I bought a shed for the winter months, but choose wisely, I failed to & now its seen me for £8k & is a track toy that I use everday & costs just as much to run as the Zed
  12. I used to had a 225 TT in 2005 for a short while, Never had any of the above problems, actually thought the interior was excellent. Standard suspension/wheel alignment is set for hairdressers, first thing I did was to get some camber & Toe to suit my driving style. Was a comfortable but unattached car to drive, you dont get any real feeling of where the car is, "point and go!" However I did have some major problems (or which were self inflicted) after a turbo, exhaust, induction, intercooler upgrade + a s**t remap 1200miles & I managed to bend to con-rods, which then ripped off two oil jets @ over 5000rpm resulting in a full engine rebuild, with a re bore & custom pistons not cheap. So anyone looking to modify one tread very carefully
  13. The biggest I've seen is a 305 / 25 r20 at the rear on caveys car, not sure what offset but they are huge
  14. Oh is next Monday? I might still be able to make it then
  15. Hey how did the trackday go? No spinning I hope Unfortunately I couldnt make it down as I had work issues. I even got my cut slicks on & wheel alignment set for Brands on Saturday Any pictures?
  16. I`m here, unfortunately been working some long hours this week, couldn't even make the evening session @ Brands on Monday Graham I have replied to your PM
  17. How much do you need for your bike? Maybe exchange your zed for a slightly older one, I've always loved the temper orange
  18. I would like some if anyone can shed some light on the subject, I always tend to have some issues with brake temperatures on track
  19. Yes the sun may even shine with another Roadster, I doubt we could top the weather we had in May viewtopic.php?f=19&t=38861
  20. some great photos there Will, I especially like this one in Petworth, A picture may tell a thousand words but if only we could hear it
  21. Was good to meet you Will, am glad to see that your enjoying the new toy, shame you couldnt have the roof down I had a great day, 350mile round trip after a detour through the new forest on the way back. A big thanks to Zugara for organizing the the meet & to those who joined at Horsham for the run down, sorry it wasn't an exciting run but unfortunately I couldn't clear the traffic from the roads. Will have to leave earlier next time
  22. Well I had a ECV on mine for a very short while, in my opinion a complete waste of time, yes it quieten downed the exhaust but unless fully open it made all sorts of funny noises when giving it the beans,
  23. Looks as if the car may be a little dirty by the time I get down with these wet roads
  24. Very stealthy, I like it Where are you from ?
