    Ok, i have a fairly good idea, yet. Those members that are much more experienced then myself could help greatly with their input :). When buying a Zed?
    (appart from the mechanical issues you cant really find without stripping the engine bay down)
    What are some basics to look for mechanically to ensure you are not buying a lemon that you can do without obviously booking in a workshop appointment with a local greese monkey :)?
    (so i can kinda make a checklist for myself)

    Thanks in advance.
    (Btw, model is a 89 &/OR 90 N/A 2+2 targa)

    Have you had a read of the Tech Section... its all in there. Even a printable list of things you should check when inspecting a Zed. One thing I would do before I bought another was to run a bucket of water over the targa seals and check for cabin leaks.

    awesome thanks :) i have that one on my list as i recently exposed a friends ZX with that issue LOL.

    Also.. to add to my PREVIOUS (THREAD OPENER)...
    Can anyone tell me if with the CI veilside body kit.. if i need the stock spoiler in order for the kit spoiler to attach/fit properly?
    (this picture may help explain)

    (note the rear, the stock spoiler sitting beneath the kit?)

    No

    No you dont need the stock spoiler. When you get it fitted they remove the stock and replace the whole thing. C1 actually comes in two parts, be aware though that the c1 can be a pain with the electric ariel, dont open or close your boot with the stereo on as the spoiler will bend the ariel mast, I am getting really good at replacing the masts. :(

    Hope this helps Andy :cool:

    lol ok :)

    yeah, i understand. Zeds look better natural. I agree. however im also a customiser, been all round aus to car shows. even to one in US.
    So i am attempting to build a show car out of my first ZX (this one) which is where the "abomination" or body kit LOL. comes into play :)

    dont worry. ill be buying another one in another 2-3 years that ill keep in its natural beauty :p.. maybe have to fit it with an electric engine way petrol is going. but ill get one LOL :p

    wow thanks :)
    ..so. when you say remove the stock ?.. does that mean that (according to the picture provided) they fit/place a new or different design spoiler under the new one ?:S)
