  1. I have to agree that 4k launch may be a little on the high side. I too came to the Zed from a Honda, JDM Prelude 2.2L VTEC, that had about 180-190 ponys. With the 4 cylinders you have to give it some revs before you get to the powerband, so perhaps the 4k launch was something adapted from Honda driving. You need to try and unlearn some things that you have picked up during your CTR ownership and learn some new things that are more suited for Zed driving. Have fun discovering stuff and hope you don't cause too much damage in the process. I'm sure if you have any questions you will find an answer here.
  2. How about tapping into the wiring for the switches located in the doorshuts?
  3. Where did you get those side emblems from? And how much were they?
  4. Am I posting invisible posts?
  5. You could save some cash and just buy an K&N Filter Recharge kit. comes complete with filter cleaning solution and filter oil. Can buy at most Halfords. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165730
  6. I have no issues with any speed bumps, even the tall mofo ones. But then again, my Zed has not been lowered at all. Here's a sideways shot so you can see how it sits (parked on a kerb btw) Front shot
  7. Nixy may be going for a tan to match her Zed.....prolly be better of with spray tan to achieve that orange effect...
  8. it was the school that pulled from the woodend estate if you know it. Maybe they should do what was done in Torchwood - Children Of The Earth, where the aliens demanded 10% of the children. Give them all the chavs I say...
  9. I think we should apologize too for not being able to come due to last minute changes and the damn weather. It's not often that someone is willing to invite a bunch of strangers to their own home and have a BBQ (...hang on...it's actually like a Chilli Mod-Day, just without the modding...) In a way I'm a little glad that it's cancelled, maybe I can make the next one.
  10. Just put MAME on it and then you can run loads of original arcade ROMs
  11. I have an idea Zazur that might help. When I visited Sally and Steve at Melton Tyre and Exhausts, Steves mate came along in his Corsa VXR. He said he had a squealing problem with his brakes and that the pads weren't even worn down. Steve then suggested to put it on the ramps and he'd have a look. He removed the wheel (front) and removed a brakepad to examine it. He then noted that the area on the pad that comes in contact with the carrier was dry and needed some coppergrease on it, and also the same area on the carrier too. Reason for this is that where the pad and carrier contact, there is slight movement, and if there is no coppergrease there, it's metal grinding on metal, thus making a squealing sound. He greased teh contact areas on all four corners and Owen took the car out for a spin. Returned with a smile on his face as the squealing had gone. Maybe this is worth trying. You might be able to see where the contacy areas are as they should be shiny because no grease is there. hope this helps
  12. Build a CarPC with emulation software for all the current consoles, then you'd have a whole arcade to your disposal
  13. You know that it means you'll have to do the LEDs in the Bose HU too right?
  14. The Varis lip is a straight on fit. Takes about 30 mins ish to fit, all you need is a 10mm socket and a phillips screw driver for the self tappers. And maybe a torch should you lose the selftappers in the lip....
  15. I don't think Ian qualifies for UBER JDM, because for him to be UBER JDM, he needs to strike an Ultraman pose infront of the car or drive around in an Ultraman costume, until then no UBER JDM qualification... I can live without UBER JDM Who is ultraman? OMG!!! How on earth can you call yourself a JDM Whore and NOT know about Ultraman?!?!?!?!?!? See here for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman
  16. I had crap parents, so surely, I am defying your logic...
  17. I don't think Ian qualifies for UBER JDM, because for him to be UBER JDM, he needs to strike an Ultraman pose infront of the car or drive around in an Ultraman costume, until then no UBER JDM qualification...
  18. I owe you thanks too Nick. Many thanks for taking time and talking to Greg. Very much appreciated.
  19. I use Rimwax on my polished lips, love the stuff. Just don't use Bilberry Wheel cleaner neat, dilute at least 1:10
  20. I have spoken to Greg and what can I say... ... there may be a fairytale ending yet. Will update as it progresses.
  21. Bilberry dillution ratio: 1 part Bilberry and 1000 parts water...... But seriously, if you use Bilberry on regular Zed wheels, I believe that a ratio of 1:5 will do. If you have wheels with polished lips like me then dillute even more to avoid what happened to me. (Or don't use Bilberry at all for wheels with polished lips)
