What have you done to your zed today? Part 2............

the red cluster sorround is a unusual touch. i like the carbon fibre though, looks good. who/where dipped it?

 

The red is crap that will be changed. Im yet to figure a nice solution. It will include the AM temp gauge included above stock. For now its just red with blue disco light dashboard.

The surrounds were imported by Marshall. I need to get the double din CF stereo surround one too to aswell.

 

yeah didnt think it was your style, but was trying to be gentle just in case lol......

will look better in factory black or something similar.....

 

Why not just cf dip it, will Match everything else?

 

Yeah i think that sounds like the go. Ive got a spare one ill take apart and prep the bits!

 

Finished my engine conversion from Na to TT


Took it for a drive and overheated like 5minutes down the road. New thermostat is a dud.

 

Err. Thats not a nice thing to happen to a fresh install.

Engine rebuilt, or just cleaned up an uncracked engine?

Looks pretty tidy. Good work.

 

Full rebuild, pulled thermostat out, tested it does not start to open till 80 and is no we're near fully open at 100,

 

Full rebuild shouldn't get anywhere near 100. Hot as!

 

Ouch. What brand thermostat did you use?


..........please say OEM.

 

Oem it was, learnt my lesson tho check these thing before installing. Put the old one in from the old NA engine, temps are perfect now,

 

Ah that's a shame. One of the few Oem ones that are known to be busted from new. But good note you had a spare. Wish you some happy solid zedding now.

 

Polished all the trims on the car, quick before and after.

 

What did you use, shoe polish?

 

Yeah Sim a touch of shoe polish. Apply it carefully and througherly. Fills in all the tiny cracks that develop and covers the 'whitening' from over wax. Tidy up and over application and she's great. I plasti dipped my top trims but the window moulds just need a black touch up. Look like new.

 

What a great idea. Looks good, well done.

 

Installed the B-pillar trim Nigel sold me. The rubber sleeve on the original was torn.

 

cleaned up my engine bay
