Depends on how the MAF has failed. If it's dead and the car knows this then yes, it'll default to a safer map, but if it's giving erratic signals then the fuelling could well be out and kill the O2s easily enough as they're very delicate pieces of equipment.

Can we have the button/link for this back please? It appears to have disappeared with the recent round of forum alterations, and it was a really handy button to have as you now have to go back to the forum index to mark forums read. Ta!

Cable tie it using the sports kit mount (which I assume you have) to the front grill. That's where mine is, anyways.

Three SVs... The white one is the first I've seen with the smaller spoiler on it, he must be keener on top speed than downforce

In that case I bet it's the replaced damper that's causing it, assuming you've gone from JDM to UK which has changed the stiffness of one corner. That could possibly throw the TCS out when under braking as that corner will have different characteristics from the rest of the car, assuming equal wear.

Demon Thieves sell it too. It's in their blue book this year, definitely.

Are they the correct sizes too? Pressures okay?

Very interesting, never heard that before and was considering getting some spacers for mine later in the year. Now I know to order smaller ones, nice one

Ferrari have cheapened the brand over the last few years more than any other car manufacturer I know: Look at all the tat you can buy in red with a horse on it

Very lucky, I've seen ECUs blown and wiring looms melted after such a mistake

That's what I though, just checking. Should definitely be the same in that case.

Should be the same, but define wiper knuckle for me?

1 year or the remainder of the life of the standard 3 year warranty, depending on the age of the car.

Also worth pointing out that unless you buy really expensive wheels, you'll also be making your car slower due to the extra unsprung mass added. Most people don't care as they just want the looks, but you did mention about how new wheels could effect the handling so I thought I'd drop it in here as it's the worst place possible to add weight to the car.

Tell them to change insurance companies, or get the RAC to do an inspection on it if you want. Personally I wouldn't bother unless you're desperate to sell to this guy as you don't need said report, but if you've got no other takers and he's very keen it might be worth doing it.

Enlarged version of the same engine as in the 309bhp 350 isn't it, so I'd be amazed if it wanted anything other than 5w-30. *awaits to be amazed*

I would never, ever use that horrible tyre weld stuff. Even when I've owned cars with no spare, if I'd have had a puncture I would've called the breakdown services rather than trust/rely on that useless crap. Tbh I wouldn't be removing the spare wheel either (unless you're replacing it with something equally heavy as an emergency, like crates of beer) unless you really want to make your car more tail-happy. Less weight over the rear tyres will cause an imbalance when pushing on or in an emergency and the two ends will want to swap over more readily.

Just be nice to them. A bit of a laugh and a joke with whoever you're dealing with will go a long way towards them helping you out, whilst getting stroppy and demanding will result in them (quite rightly legally) turning you away and ignoring the complaint.

Speak to Steve or Mary in the sports car division, both very helpful and will sort you out

Richard Egger do 4 days per year for free UK or EU (excluding the 'Ring obviously), and I think you can buy more at 10% of the policy premium.

Not being funny, but have you even bothered to look at any of the threads posted in here in, like, forever? There's tons of info here on this. In short though, don't mix tyres. You'll have totally different grip levels front and back which is bad.

So what was up with the service history then? Why too many?

Zed already has coilovers (well, at the front anyway!) If it's only one-way height adjustment you're after then just do the springs, as it's a far more economical way of achieving the goal. If you want to improve/alter the ride characteristics in a more dramatic fashion then you need to start thinking abut changing both dampers and springs, but you really need to look at damper and spring rates in detail to keep the car drivable for you personally. A set of aftermarket one way dampers with the correct springs will give you the drop you're looking for but will also firm up the ride and you'll have no way of altering it if you don't like it, whereas if you went for a set of fully adjustable for both bump and rebound then you can adjust to your hearts content (within the parameters of the damper itself, of course) but you'll pay well for the privilege. Of course, if the non-adjustable ones give you the feel you want then that's the set you buy! I'm not sure what the stock damping/spring rates are like on the GT4, but I'd start by finding those out and then getting the details of other options from the manufacturers and seeing just what is available out there in terms of difference. It'd be very easy just to say "Oh, go and get this set because I've got them and they're ace!" but without knowing specifically how you want the car to feel then it could ruin the car for you and be £800+ down the drain.

They're the equivalent of the Proxes 4, so more for general car use than on a sporty car. Personally I'd avoid them for the Zed and go for either the T1Rs or the 452, or even better the Ultrac Sessantas.

I wouldn't bother. It's only a car and not a really expensive one like a Ferrari or Lambo, so chavs will either be less likely to do damage or will do it anyway. Don't worry, you've just got a case of the Early Ownership Paranoias, you'll soon get over it.
