Sorry for the delay Martin, not been on for a while and missed this. Here are some pictures of my roadster:
This is the Veilside V3 kit
20" alloys
Lots of engine bay bling with custom painted plenum and throttle body to match the K&N typhoon pipe. Only thing I have got a recent picture with my colour coded bottles that I have on now.
Have you tried using the forum search with 'remap' rather than the web?
Only 2 places in the UK can currently tune the Zed using the standard ECU. Also try 'UpRev' in the search for all the info you will need. The 2 places are Abbey Motorsport and RSTuning, the only problem for you are that they both a fair old drive away but a good excuse for a road trip. Without any mods you will be lucky to see an increase of 20bhp but you will have a much better car to drive.
Sounds pretty common to me. Mine stuck a little last year when it got cold. Its very sensitive to any kind of stress and will stop moving. I have never had any problem getting it closed but sometimes putting it down. After 2/3 attempts it usually goes down. I would reccommend putting the heaters on for a while to warm the fabric and then give it a try.
I don't know if there is a minimum temperature for operating though.
Ar bless ya young'un. I have had a qoute for just over £800 which any real searching. Was very surprised myself, but like you say.........can't afford the actual metal yet!!!
You are welcome, Canards may need a seperate poll. Not a fan myself but I like them on the red Zed, just think they would look out of place on the GM Zed pictured. Depends on what the final look of the car is going to be.
I would bet that the connector behind the dials has come loose or not been re-connected. When I have changed the Sat Nav and Stereo and taken the connector off the blowers just come on full bore if you start the engine. I would start there.
+1 Speak to ZMANALEX for a price on the engine and if you are anywhere near the south, have a word with Mark @ Abbey Motorsport. Sure Mark will have lots of experience re-building the engine with their racing support.
Sure I have seen replacement engines on ebay for £2k - £2.5k with a warrenty but never really took much notice so not sure what their reputation is like. Good luck though as sounds pricey either way.
I have also found that at just over 70 you don't get wet unless its massively throwing it down!!
I am only garaging mine this early due to the tax running our at the end of Sept and I didn't want to pay a full year when I am only going to get another couple of weeks in.
The bumpers and skirts will fit no problem, the spoiler is different curve on the roadster but if you're not bothered about that then you will be fine!!
Hope you're still enjoying the car mate.
