    Hello people

    Really excited to share what I'm doing here.
    Nothing crazy in comparison to your 500bhp slide machine.
    At 19 my first performance build caught fire and turned to ash, this has haunted me in the process of buying another zed.

    7 years later a stock as a rock Black 91 2+0 TT sits in my driveway.
    Rather then spending $12000 on a mint condition zed that already had all the arts done to it, I decided to spend half that and build it the way I wanted.

    Karl from ?Epic Automotive Concepts? South Brisbane has rebuilt me an engine with rebuilt turbos, waiting to be fitted.

    Exedy heavy duty clutch
    Front mount
    Lowered on Tein adjustables

    Porsche Modena 5 x 130 to 5 x 114.3 hub centric converter
    18 x 8.5 - 205 x 35
    18 x 11 ? 225 x 40

    Exhaust and High flow cats were done and sounds awesome.
    Rebuilt steering rack.

    New front bar, told it was P-urethane but turned out to be Fiber-G. No worries prepped, sprayed an on it went

    New nose panel, the one with the thin bar not the thick one where it meets the edge of the bonnet.

    Heaps of little things like
    Wood grain steering wheel,
    Gear knob,
    Head unit - Speakers,
    Seat covers loose fitted black,
    Cluster rings,
    Blue LED dash lights,
    Blue LED cup holder,
    Boot carpet,

    Obviously a lot more is desired like
    Deeper lips on the front wheels,
    2K tail lights,
    Rear bar with diffuser,
    Some sort of simple side skirt.
    Slim roof spoiler (not the big chunky ones)
    Full bay wire tuck and spray the bay a different color.
    And finally down the track a full black respray.

    The progress has been fun so far and loved getting involved with the zed community over the past 6 months.
    I look forward to meeting you all in the near future

    I will continue to update this as I gain momentum on the build

    Here are a couple of pics so far for reference.

    Again really ....... Stop next time hahah
    where you wondering if it was the same zed . Looks heaps different without the black wheels
     
  6. where did you score them? i assume they are just a generic multi-fit mirror yeah? id keep them on if they don't restrict view compared to oem size. my zed weirdly conked out doing a u turn today :confused: you think maybe with the speedo on the fritz, its messing with the auto control or something? sound like what happened with yours?

    Yeah the mirrors are a universal fit but surprisingly have very good view from the drivers side as the lense is quite long. I dig them.
    I think mine was due to water in the electrics again cas it was raining pretty hard when it happened.
    The speed needle is just a representation of what's going on along the line unless the cluster board is bad . my money is on the connectors you were playing with the other day.
     
  12. yeah i think i also had a bit of drama due to that rain but then old mate rocks up to buy a ptu yesterday and notices ive got a connector not plugged in, 5 secs later sketchy idle is fixed, turned out to be from the idle control valve or something. now shes boosting at 10psi all the way thru :) bro ill be up the coast next sat to pick up a brazilian hatch, if you arent busy and pretty close to where im going, mind letting me drool over your zed for a moment or 2?

    Yeah now i remember you was going into a place around the back of and opposite the good guys at warana.

    That's the way it should be, only hot looking blondes hopping in and out of our cars :p

    Ducks and weaves all the things being thrown at me by all the non blondes :rofl:

    Really man your so lucky in the sense that the process of elimination could have taken you ages.
    Why was a guy coming to get a PTU off you. Did he buy your S1?
    I'm glad you sorted your idle though

    Who's selling the hatch? Don't worry I don't snake it off you. Like where abouts on the coast you headed ?
    Keen to meet up
