downhuman Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Drove my new zed home tentatively ... but loved every minute of it. 'Tis is beauty - fully loaded, well cared for and awesome. But tyres need doing and had a random question - is the drivers seatbelt supposed to be twisted? Annoyed me! Cheers Rob PS Will search tyre threads soon but any suggestions welcomed... FK452s, Michelin or OEM? Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Falkens and Michelins are used by many members... Enjoy your Zed... Quote
downhuman Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) How about the annoying seatbelt? Cheers CS! And some picks after a quick clean / inspection - full detail in due course Edited October 23, 2012 by downhuman Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 stick up a pic of the belt, may just be the belt connector hasd got twiste don the strap. Quote
steve-r Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 nice motor .. and no I believe its not ment to be twisted...just un-twist it Quote
Ebized Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 How about the annoying seatbelt? Cheers CS! And some picks after a quick clean / inspection - full detail in due course Looks very nice. "No" is the answer to the seat belt question - trypulling it fully out and if there is a twist you should be be able to easily remove it. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Looks lovely! Kinda like mine! Lol. Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 A Zed is for twisty roads not twisty seatbelts Quote
Shel Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Nice car and the best colour too I've got michelin pilot super sports on mine and they seem pretty good imo. Interesting what you said about the seat belts cos both of mine are sort of twisted. I did wonder why but they were the same on the 2 zeds i test drove before i bought mine so i haven't done anything about it. Let me know if you sort it and how Quote

FK452s, Michelin or OEM? There are 1,000,000's of threads on tyres.... Falkens are ok about £450 for a set of 4 I think..... but they are budget and have their negative points. I have always used REO50A's they are great, take a little warming up in the cold but I have driven in all weathers including snow and not had too many issues at all, around £800 a set but my first lot laster over 20k including quite a few drives etc on the forum. There are better but they will set you back the best part of 1k and there are many in-between.... Enjoy the car, you will grow to appreciate it all the more once you have decent rubber and the weather is better. The first dry cold winter day you can get up early and go for a blast the Zed loves a nice lungful of cold air I still do that now after 3 years Quote
Will370z Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Congratulations, lovely looking zed, best colour too Quote
Stew Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I HATE twisty seatbelts! I just untwist them manually as it's normally the buckle has spun. Quote
downhuman Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 shiniest Zed i've seen in ages Haven't detailed the mofo yet... Big detailing geek here.... Quote
bronzee Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Maybe the seatbelts could do with a clean too? Once you've untwisted them. Just a very mild solution of soapy water, best done on a sunny day, stretch the seatbelts right out (and make sure they stay out until dry), and give them a clean. I'd dry them off with a cloth after too, just to remove any grimed in muck. Quote
