if I'm being honest, not loving it much myself, I like the single exit, but not the tailpipe! easily fixed tho! just need to find one I like, the ones Ive seen 3" are too small for a single pipe :-(

Another few mods ticked off my list! Single exit exhaust and bumper tuck done today!

I know the single exit will not be to everyones taste...... not sure about it yet myself the tailpipe is 5" which im now thinking is too big

 

 

And a couple of random ones

 

I put £20 in yesterday I have done 23 miles and the range is saying --- im starting to think something is wrong with the car, btw im driving very senisbly due to the weather so cant blame it on a heavy foot lol

could be tempted in a few weeks time maybe , how much ya lookin m8?

welcome m8! i think most of the guys on here will agree, induction kit ( pop charger) is probably the most popular, then exhaust, y-pipe , decats or sport cats, and then remap to get the most out of them mods :-) that should get u started and a few extra horses

coming along well m8!

same here taking bloody ages too load the page

Was wondering if anyone has heard of or had any experience with Ichiba? good or bad? got a call from a mate who came accross 2x Ichiba De-cat pipes for £80 so decided to go for them as the same m8 can fit them also, £100 inc fitting! I only have a stock exhaust set up at the min so wasnt expecting much of a difference, but it sounds great! sounds normal when shifting before 3/4k but wen you go over that well pleased

 

looks well m8

FWIW - my advice would be sell your own Zed and buy (or at least test drive) an SC Zed that has all the money already spent on set-up (e.g. Ians) - it really takes quite a lot of effort (and beans) to get the Zed set-up properly for FI and running reliably.

 

My present Zed (Vortech SC with uprated fuel pump, injectors, APS plenum and oil sump, decat true-dual exhaust, Utec EMS inc mods like Tein coilovers & EDFC, uprated Nismo ARBs, JWT clutch & flywheel, Kaaz LSD, R888's, PF discs & uprated pads plus an amount of other mechanical and cosmetic mods) would cost an arm and a leg to bring a standard Zed to where mine is at but the difference to drive really is night and day. I would never recommend that anyone modify a Zed to the extent that Ians or P15ULT or my own Zed is at because for similar money you'd be most of the way to a R35 GTR - much better to buy a Zed where someone else has taken the financial pain.

 

+3

If u do decide to go nuts and spend a fortune it will break ur heart selling/stripping it! I spent over 30k on mods alone for my evo, car stood me over 44k and sold it for just under 19k every time i see it now i feel like crying

was searching for removing the plates n came across this! dont suppose any1 has a pic of the bumper with the plate removed, showing how big the holes are that are left? ive just bought a jap style plate but didnt think of the hastle with removing the old one!

 

thanks m8! gonna take the bumper off to change side lights and respray the reflectors and fit new plate tomo, lol id be lost without this forum! every1 is really helpfull as oppose to other forums ive used in the past!

what a bargain!

v nice m8, in the best colour too

I like the zed badge, it's got me thinking about doing tge same now

 

i got primer and gloss tins outta halfrauds for £15, but for sum reason the grey paintwork on the srtut is starting to peel off so ill prob end up sprayin the whole lot black

car looks sweet mate

 

what is with the brakes tho? linky any1? sorry to be rude

Here ya go m8!

 

ahh i see, fooking a-holes!!! sorry to hear bout that mate n hope you get it all sorted. How hard is is it to get a bloody sticker the rite way up or even get the rite bloody ones!!! disgusting service

 

thanks m8! goin round to see him on monday! but i dont really want him touchin the car again and i doubt he will give me any cash back!

Looking good mate

 

Nice touch on the re-spray think I would of taken the cover out the car myself tho!!

 

Ref Pic 1..Is it me or does "Rim Wax" make anyone else snigger like a little schoolboy?!

 

Yes, but at 43 surely I should have grown out of this train of thought

 

Car looks by the way

 

cheers m8

any ideas on who it could be tis time?

yeah i think thats whats happened myself m8!

same happened to me after 2 weeks of buying the car! my waranty covered me tho, so i didnt get my hands dirty with it! seems to be a very common fault!

Looking good mate

Great start and the car seems to be giving good reflections.

 

Now time to get those arch liners cleaned up and the tyres dressed etc.

 

 

I was going to ask what was going on with the brakes (AP stickers etc) but saw in the other thread!

 

lol cheers! mmm yeah the brakes are a long story

 

Looks well mate

Thought id make the most of the weather and give the zed a good clean

 

Im not gonna go through everything i used but heres a pic of most of it, as well as a few before and after shots.

 

 

and a few pics after the clean

And then i decided to respray this
