    artin ...there is no spoon

    hey all

    well its been 9 bloody long weeks but finally i got my Z back today :D

    she went in for surgery and now she's alive n kickin better than ever...did an absolute sh1t load of things too much to mention but for the obvious few i got a full custom exhaust and had the plenum and cam covers powdercoated just for some bling effect, while it was off

    cam covers are blue and the plenum is a silver/grey kinda colour

    and got a new momo steering wheel too :D

    thanks to caz for most of the other bling and to kris for the cats...such perfect timing for that gb mate, cheerZ

    as for the cost...lets just say it was a 4 n a half page recept :confused: :eek:

    here is a few pix...


    here is my wheel

    Looks very nice! Im saving up to pay off a few school fee and then planning to do quite a few mods to the zed~ somewhat over $5k worth, because the interior needs some brightening up! Plenty of other little changes planned as well, now of course Im dreaming, but soon it should be real :D

    i get the feeling my plenum is the same powdercoat colour as yours :)

    my rocker covers are blue as well, blue silicon hose etc., except mines a bit darker - Royal Blue.

    will post pics when i get the rest of my bling in.

    artin ...there is no spoon

    yeh i remember you saying yours was gonna be blue for cams and silver for plenum

    now you have an idea of what it could look like all back together lol :D ;)



    MRZEDX: yeh man, was a marathon this time! lol finally all over :D

    i have a similar, related colour issue, mate ... wanted a

    dark red colour all through .. but the damn silicon "red" hose is much more orange than any shade of red .. would like to be able to do something about it .. but seems the only way out is to hope that some darker red version of silicon emerges from somewhere, sometime .. !!! .. :( :( :( :( :( :(
