    Mark - we need to see the end result this year?!

    I just cleaned, primed and painted mine, it depends on the level of finish you require and the longevity required. I made the mistake of using a yellow primer (all I had at the time) and once you get a stone chip it shows, so redid them recently with a grey primer.

    The temp sensor makes sense - thanks Jeff! I have just ordered a replacement as for the cost (£11) it probably worth replacing since it looks like it was 28 years old! Let's see if this works. The spark plugs are only 500 miles old and I checked all the coil packs at the same time (all were electrically fine). Fingers crossed!

    So, what is worth checking over?

    The Zed over the past day has refused to start. Until now it started within a second of turning the key. Now it turns over but refuses to start. Smells of fuel and the battery is six months old. I use the Zed 3-6 times a week to commute to work etc., but I suspect the starter motor has just died. Thoughts?

    I run a consultancy now, but I started in a way where I got frustrated at what I was doing so I went alone. The first year was the hardest - I think I earnt about £7k before tax! But then the second year was a vast improvement as I had a year of self-marketing behind me. It takes time get going, and I did make mistakes that you learn from - like being open with HMRC, accountants etc, and having a good accountant is perhaps the most important thing to organise as they will pay for themselves. Just be aware of your employment T&C's - as the conflict of interest area is something most companies take seriously.

    Amazing - was going to bid but then I thought about import duty and VAT! :wink:

    Ah - so nice! Love the colour! I see you have the Recaro confetti's - nice! Not jealous at all! If your in Swindon, you should get to the AGM or Castle Combe!

    It looks like I have some work to install them then! I'd be interested to see some pics of the filament mod and where the washer bottle was relocated to. I might to tart up the front bumper at the same time at the paint shop - can't have nice IC's and a crappy bumper! :)

    I got them for $100 for the pair so they are coming home with me! I could have got a Greddy front mount instead, but I was under the impression SMIC's are slightly better suited to the Z than FMIC's (although its probably just a personal preference thing - each owner to themselves!)..

    Hi all, Currently working in CA atm and have found a few good Zed owners out here. One has offered me a set of Godspeed side mounted Intercoolers. Q. Are they any good and are they a direct fit? Anyone got them on a zed here in the UK? Any help appreciated, as I think they will just fit in the suitcase if they are worth bringing home :) Greg

    A month does make a difference - I did get the Zed out for some drifty fun in the snow, which was....fun! Now it is in the paint shop whilst I am here away working in Palm Springs. Currently in the high 90's, most days! So, if the end of March was snow, end of April sun, what can we expect in a months time? Floods maybe end May??

    I was driving at the time. Wouldn't have noticed a thing in the Merc anyway. A few of my mates felt the tremors locally, but it's not like a 7.9!

    Oh OK. Then my zed has odd clocks! At least they work I suppose!
  15. GregT
    OMG - Aus. Well it has a boost gauge and looks oem tt as far as that its a series 1 tt. Just apart from the 260km/hr clocks. Surely Aus had tt's as well as N/A's?
  16. GregT
    I have 260km/h clocks - unbranded though. No clue where they are from, apart from possibly Japan as its an import zed. No markings on the rear either.
  17. GregT
    I have one of these on my Zed fully working. Currently have a normal registration plate in, but am investigating the TVR plates that are translucent.

    For me it is a series of 80's and 90's movies, plus a few modern ones: Directorially, I am a Luc Besson fan, so my fave movie is also a Natalie Portman movie - LEON. Jean Reno and Gary Oldman as well! Some of the dialogue is just brilliant. And then, the Alien trilogy (just like Si), Full Metal Jacket, Fight Club, Akira, Ferris Bueller, the first F&F movie, Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Goodfellas and more recently Lucy and The Ghost in the Shell. All the above I must have watched countless times. The first Alien movie still scares the crap out of me (I first watched it as an 8yr old)! Alien Covenant wasn't that bad really as well.

    Sherbourne is much closer than Coventry! But a trip to Coventry appeals - never been to the agm. Ah decisions!
  20. GregT
    Barely ten miles away from me and I didn't know about it!
  21. GregT
    Be interested to see which red you decide upon. I plan to take my red zed to these peops in Christchurch - http://kustomkolors.co.uk/gallery/
  22. GregT
    Like any car, I always look at the service history. It gives me an indication of its use.
  23. GregT
    Did you get this from a chap in Ferndown, Bournemouth? I have a spare tt front bumper which you could have real cheap if you can collect it. It is in red, but it needs respraying.
  24. GregT
    Where is the best place to get injectors from in the uk?
  25. GregT
    Hi Neil. I am popping to Kustom Kolors in Christchurch this weekend to get a quote on my Zed for a full respray. I'll let you know what sort of quote they give me.
