No work on the zed the past couple weeks. Been super busy with work (overseas travel) and house maintenance... :-( Bought some more porn tho: Mmmmmm Workmeister goodness! More surprises to be revealed soon!
Fronts: 18 x 8.5 - +29 offset 18 x 9.0 - +18 offset Strange offsets actually compared to what most here are running. Seemed to fit the Skyline perfectly tho. Trial fit on the zed whilst on stands seemed to sit well although will still need to roll and pump the rear guards a lil. Gonna be a lot less work than the Varrstoens I had before tho! And look a damn side more sexy :-D
Been a long time since my last update - Seems this story is all too familiar I've started building another house and as fate would have it, I have no room for a shed. Blocks are stupidly small these days as such I dont have room for a project car as well as a daily. Unfortunately the build has come to an end for now. :sorry: The shell has been prepped for paint and will be stored away at a friends place for very slow progress at a less busy time for me. Of course..... I couldn't just bow out..... I've started cleaning up my daily driver (Ford fiesta beater) to sell and replace with.... Wait for it..... Another Zed! Meet zed #26! My new daily. Super clean 95 model twin turbo slicktop. Totally stock bar the rims, never been boosted to my knowledge - all the stock lines are in place. Stock airbox, stock exhaust bar the mufflers. Everything works! The engine looks relatively untouched and the body is clean/straight with a few very small blemishes. Series 2 engine goodness! S2 Cams, Gears, Injectors, Heads, PTU, CAS, PS pump/resi, Electric Hicas Additional goodies: Recaro drivers seat, Floor mats, Black factory tweed, BBS 17" rims - staggered setup - 275 rears, 235 fronts. Couple of small things need a tidy up but overall she's pretty neat! I'm keeping a few goodies for her from the parts pile but there will be lots of bits up for grabs soon as I need the $$ to buy goodies for the house too. Current plans for the daily are: Moar low: Koni shocks with lowered king springs Moar Sex: Workmeister S1 rims Moar Breathe: Pod Filter Moar Flow: Cat back 2.5" x-pipe + magnaflow muffs Moar Cool: Huge mofo FMIC Moar skids: NA rear end Moar Tune: Nistune Moar Power: Tune I'm sure there'll be more to come on that list as time goes on :br: The zed experience never seems to be linear! Plans change but always a zed on the cards.
good to have you zedding again. If theres one thing ive learnt over my years with these things, is its that they leave a mark. not many people can truly "walk away" and never look back. and alot buy another zed, or a 26th zed as it turns out for you lol.
Cheers Rosco! I can't stay away... The addiction is strange. Plus, what else can you buy for under 10k that comes close to comparing? Maybe I'm just bias
Haha Nice buy, Jamie. So it's TT with a NA front bar? I think you need to invest in a 2k front bumper I can see a lot of potential with your new Z, she just needs a good clean up (OCD style ).
Cheers Jono! Defo needs a 2k front bar - I will be trying to source one of those most definitely. Dunno what the go was with the NA front bar. Might have had a bingle but I couldnt see any signs at all. Possible the old one cracked they they replaced it with a NA bar. Cant wait to start ripping all the stock stuff out n give it some aftermarket loving.
Where the bloomin hell did you find that? ...want to sell it? lol. Nice find. NA instrument cluster or later TT one? I know the later zeds didn't have the boost gauge, never realised it was as early as '95.
Haha, it was a great find actually! I wasnt even looking for a Zed but my friend expressed interest in buying one so i started searching. Recommended this one to him but he wanted a black one, I just couldnt pass it up. The cluster is stock TT as far as I know for that year, but i might need to do a fast check to see when it was made in 95. Could be a late 95? Another rare combo!
saw this wasn't this the one on gumtree? pretty sure I looked at this :zlove: Bet it feels good to actually be driving one again
Yeah what kind of guy would put an NA bar on a TT? Oh wait a minute New daily looks great, would be tempted to leave the LM's on there though, very nice wheel!
I have no idea what the steering wheel is off Anti, didnt even notice it wasnt a s2 till u mentioned but it felt n looked like it was a lil different... Hmmm... Pulled the nose panel n airbox gear off n if it has had a hit, they've hidden it well. Chassis seems to be straight as. Time and mods will tell i guess
Yup, was on gumtree Andy. U go have a look? I was sold on the S2 goodies Feels great to be driving a zed again! Fords suck!
Haha lidz has u there anti I was tempted to leave the wheels lidz but i love the works. Soo much more aggressive.
