What did you spray them with?

Any pics?

A bad day at the office all round!

Thanks Stew!

Is there anything else you reckon I should look at at the same time?

I currently use a bit of Megs polish and then Collinite wax, both by hand obviously. Is there much point in looking at machine - applied sealents etc?

Having done a bit of reading up I've decided to take the plunge and get a DA polisher as above.

My question is which kit to go for? Obviously I need pads and compounds that are not too aggressive due to the soft, thin paint on the zed. Was leaning towards the Sonus SFX stuff, anyone got any thoughts?

tyres sizes look off too ,fronts ok but rears need to be 30 profile since the Z has a bigger rear rolling radius (most wheel/tyre places arent aware).

edit:

oh and spacers , even if they clear the brembos it will look funny .

get some pics once there on.

 

I dont ave brembos, I'll see how they look on the car

Any chance of exchanging them for a set with the correct offsets / tyre sizes?

Seems like a better idea than having to resort to spacers to get them to fit properly!

Proof, if it were needed, that it isn't a great idea to work on your car during twilight.

I've misplaced one of the aluminium washers (more of a spacer really) that sits under the strut bar to give clearance over the plenum when you fit the Motordyne spacer. Does anyone have a spare knocking around?

Thanks!

Surely just benchpress it back up?

Uuuutttttttttssss!

Outstanding work!

Thanks

Started yours yet?

Soon I hope.

Outstanding work!

This place looks good for all the bits needed and it's not too pricy.

Probably worth giving them a call and discussing your requirements.

I'm sure Wookie knows

They should be available anywhere that you can get the Mocal cooler itself. I got mine from a bloke on eBay, but there are numerous places that do them.

As for the size of cooler, there's obviously no harm in going larger - just make sure it will fit behind your bumper! I'm happy that 13 row will be sufficient for my application - I'm mounting an oil temp gauge to ensure I don't push it too hard.

After pics or ban

Will try and get a couple tomorrow. Have kept it higher than I would normally, just because I don't really fancy grounding out on a ramp on Sunday. It might be Lexx's ferry in fact!

You have it the wrong way round, the front looks spot on just bring the rear down lower

Fair one, but I need to be able to get on and off a ferry!

Think I've sorted it!

Must say a big thanks to CS and DCash5 for the assistance last night and this morning.

My error was in the way I'd fitted the OEM top mounts to the new shocks. Managed to get the fronts raised a bit, which has brought the backs down a touch as well. I'm off to get everything bedded in now, then it'll be alignment time!

I went for 13 row.

I'd recommend a thermostatic sandwich plate as well. In our climate it's probably not a great idea to be cooling oil until it reaches working temp.

Hmmm.

Everything is now on, have been playing with height adjustment, only adjusting the springs doesn't seem to be having a great deal of effect and the front seems very low to me.

Am I missing something?

Hellllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo Holly!

How many takes before you were happy with the nightwear scene?

PM sent re gear knob.

Got a picture of the gear knob?

any details on who these are made by?

+1

It was those alignment pins that had me confused. Turns out that if you use the slight flex/stretch in the rubber it fits over them quite nicely.

Just need to adjust the rears and then I'm off for a play.

Pics to follow...

CS sounds promising, anyone have contact details?

Shoot him a PM on here. Normally very quick to respond.

Thanks mate.

Much appreciated.

maybe the british version of the tuf tuf club needs to be started.

Are they the Dutch guys who used that expanding foam stuff to kill the cameras?

Anyone else have any idea, while I wait for the unbanning?
