What have you done to your Zed today?

Interesting! Can you do a write-up on what you find (separate thread) so that it can be searched for in future.

 

Took out all the spray cans and got to spay painting stuff

 

installed gauges. The oil pressure is slightly obscured by the window washer/pod thing when you are driving. Useless clock is useless.

 

Engine in !

Got some right here

 

Thats looking like a really clean engine bay mate, well done.

 

Looks fresh! How long until it runs?

Meanwhile...

The back seat isn't much chop for anyone but primary school kids (insert mr zed x joke - not) so I've done away with it and made a subwoofer box that takes up the entire space. After much calculation and formula following it is set to hold 2 x 12" subs, a pair of 9" speakers, amp and a bit for a parcel shelf.







A flat shelf section goes on top but you get the idea. Yes it is a bit weighty but if you want quality you have to do it heavy, I estimate 20kg's +.

So while I was toiling away the Postie pulls up and hands me these...



A Z is never finished, huh.

 

Thanks everyone. Engine should run this coming weekend :br: I have made a bit more progress since the photo .

Lols abe , I was looking at upgrading and had thoughts it may have died during the build ... I hope you and Vader havent jinxed me

Roadie love your 2+2 turning into a 2+0 creation :thumbup:

BTW : does anyone have new black silicone top and rad hoses to swap for blue ones ??

 

Just bought Eboost 2 for $300 yay LOL

Looks like I'm on my way for my TT project

Did my first ever plenum pull off the engine I'm going to be rebuilding.

 

Put my 20 psi springs back in my external wastegates

Stuck these gauge rings in!

Love the black instead of the chrome.

 

test fitted 275 30 19 on the back - awesome :br:

 

very nice! what width & offset are your wheels? Need to get me some wider rear tyres in the near future.

cheers, Tim

 

Looks good! What's that, 19x10 +30ish? Nice numbers.

Got my Z in the garage!!!

Blasted the targa drainage holes with compressed air, tested them and now they work great. No more rain getting in.

 

Wow good thinking 99...

My rubbers always seemed pretty spot on yet sometimes in certain conditions they'd leak, might give this a try...
