GT4 Zed

Welldone Andy Very good info for those who are contemplating such a trip i maybe tempted to do this next year if you would do it again There is no way i can do this alone

I love these kind of ground up builds +1 on photobucket

Very nice mate. You were mad to want to sell these Now get it lowered and kick back to admire the good work. I reckon black/anthracite centers like Marzman's with yellow or red painted callipers will be super sweet BTW what do these weigh out of interest?

Not been on the forum for sometime and this was the first thread i wanted to catch up with Congratulations Chris for getting the Bitch back Very good results so far and more to come. Are you sure you want to add Meth and NOS to that mix? I can wait to see her in the flesh and it motivates me even more when i finally start my own project. Keep it coming mate

Here is bumble bee; no 46/176 with nismo body kit. Acquired in 2008(Owned a 2004 Silver coupe for 6 months "trial"), she is a limited run of the limited GT4 edition as you can see with both kuro and UY combo AFAIK only this car was made Mileage: circa 70k Modifications: Too long to list and more to come. Will get a build thread going one day Extra accolades: The loudest UK zed - 115db at 4k revs

Haha thanks guys, was great fun today taking a trip around the midlands on ian and bennets meet. Forgot how much fun the zed was, even managed to hear rosies exhaust once or twice if i left enough of a gap behind bennet How are your ears... I SAID HOW ARE YOUR EARS Nice day to get her back for a meet :drive: Damn you SMD

Not what you wanted to know mate but it looks repairable still. just need pulling out to leght and specs on a gig and the rest is cosmetic. However be guided by the total cost involved vs the value of the car and proceed from there. Also stripping for parts might yeild roughly 4k which means you will just be 1-2k out out of pocket to get back in a zed or you can just sell it as is for ~3k i reckon. -Brembos -Seats(assuming the airbags did not deploy. -engine -Wheels -GB -LSD -suspension -Various glassware -interior trim -Lights -Body parts -exhaust and cats -Sensors etc etc - etc

Top work Chris and er......Bob Can't wait for the finish with everything reassembled.

Happy birthday ol' boy

+1

Damn you all

+1 Good job though

Nice one but i thought you were going to get them to PC it rather than paint? That said if they use high temp paint and lacquer it should be alright but i know what i will prefer.

You dont need any tool mate. After removing the nut just press down flat on the wiper arm (not wiper blade) about midway of its lenght on the windscreen and the wiper arm just pops off the spline . It not magic but by pressing down on the arm it aligns the spline shaft with the spline grooves on the wiper arm so it comes off no fuss. Pulling etc just jams it tight as it angles the arm onto the spline. There is usually no need for WD40 as the splines are protected by the weatherproof plastic cap over the spline nut but there is no harm to squirt a bit before you give it a go

Ah....forgot about this thread. I gave this ago last month when i got my subframe of the car to fit bushes and used the exact HD grease as the OP My clicking disappeared and has remained so despite some major hooning. Need to see if it will after a track session but i have a feeling it will and if not i'll just regrease it ......had almost a tub full left Thanks Mark for this

Nice work mate and different but IMHO bronze wheels works well on thinner spoked wheel. The OEM wheels are too chunky and makes it look fake. So does the door handles and grill. As said already if these where Rays painted bronze, lowered and spaced it would look ace and still different. I love the lights but those reflectors on the number plate are awfull

Sorry mate about your crash. These things happen and you will never be able to completely explain it. The best you can ever do is to keep your vehicle in top shape with good parts eg tyres brakes fliuds and most of all continually improve your skill because no one is perfect and there is always room for improvement. As other have already mentioned get the car on a jig or fully assessed with a comprehensive parts list if its worth repairing and i am sure you will be able to get parts from traders here and also forum members who have various bits and bobs lying around after upgrtading their cars. Given the age of the car i would take th money from insurance assuming it was insured and get a replacement zed because unless you are skilled to do most of the work you may save yourself 50-60% of good garage quote but you end up with a car with little value or that you have little confidence in. Good luck with everything.

SMD you are mad.....................in a nice way keep it coming

haters @Will. You are right mate I remember now its just that at the time of posting i figured there where only 2 tall chaps in our group and just felt it had to be you . He did spend quite sometime there come to think of it

I can't believe its over a week since Wales 2012 Its been really nice to see all the vids and pics that have been posted so far (DJtimo you are a legend!) and the very good comments towards the organisers for the effort to make this a massive success again . Without being too repetitive I have to say a big thank you to Colins the rest of the team: Chris, Will, Darren, James just to name a few. Historically i have been late to Wales and always spent just half a day but now i know what i have been missing.....suday in particular was epic. I will ensure that next year i do the whole weekend fri-Mon! As always it was fun newer members who were doing Wales for their first time, just as it was to catch up with old friends and acquaintances. keith(maccaman) we missed you Congratulations to all and especially to the traders who supported the charity fundraising with very impressive goodies and hopefully we will do better next year. I did not take loads of pics and focused my efforts on vids but the wind noise means they are worthless but here are the very few i took of the fast convoy Thats me trying to cut you guys off enroute to the lake on saturday only to realise that this route was very narrow and tortuous....came accross only 1 car after over 1 hr of driving Nice booty I avoided to take a pic of Rosie's enormous booty before i got lookup up for sexual harrassment Waiting for the rest! Dazza! Where do i start? Thanks for the lead and pace making and for giving me a prelude to what i will be enjoying soon. Your zed is now sensational Bumble bee Thanks Ian(wasso) she had never been that clean in her life. Oi Will, and where do you think you are going to?

Nice one Dazza you did it! Good numbers and safe. Job well done by both yourself and Abbey. Can't wait to see it in the flesh in Wales.

During public access or touristenfarhten in German you cannot do a complete flying lap. Customarily you time your lap from bridge to gantry(BTG). This time is about 30-40 secs less than a full lap depending on the car. The bridge (with Bilsteins advert) is as you go down to Tiergarten some 800yrds of the barriers and the gantry (with Audi advert) is at the end of galgenkoph or the beginning of Dottinger hohe (straights). You can through the barrier on Dottinger straights or in and out through the car park barrier during TF if you wanted to do back to back laps but these areas are coned so its a crawl through. If you are really interested in doing a proper full lap then you need to book a private trackday. There are loads to choose from but cost more. Google search is your friend but if you need specifics I can help.

It always has been but reaching final development. Lots is things happening behind the scenes but will be revealed in one big build thread. @kyleR could be done if you were comming to the Wales weekend not that far mate. @ goodatcrashing: no mate it's bonded and will most likely be destroyed in trying to seperate. You can try if you bought it

More gutting of the zed so the following up for sale or swap where applicable You would have to come to west midlands for swap or pick up as these are cumbersome and fragile item or buyer can arrange shipping themselves. 1-Uber rare original veilside V1 Carbon Fibre lip .
