Onto the intercooler and one piece charge pipe in place

Intercooler attached and held with brackets nicely

bov pipe in place

Hey Arran did you run two sandwich plates on your oil cooler?? i wondering if it was you who done it, is one of them for sale at all? are you selling up?

Fuel Return System time. Bennett knows his stuff and made short work of everything in his way, I just left him to it

CJM output kit on end of fuel rail

Fuel Bucket was a pain to get back in, established my fuel gauge is rubbish as it showed near empty and there was loads of fuel left

Bucket out

Fuel return line eventually found its way through the floor

Bucket back in but modified with all the little bits and pieces, because of all the weird angles and crap in the way had to arrange a route for the return line

Jobs a goodun and the lines were ran and secured under the car and popped up in the engine bay

Return line hooked up to under FPR and side port hooked up to CJM output on fuel rail

FPR hooked up and pressure tested to 100psi to check for leaks...it leaked

Bit of fettling and tightening and some ptfe tape and shes in pressure tested and holding well

on with the build

having being identified as a prolific dropper of bolts and tools all exposed holes in engine were quickly blocked up

as the fuel rails were out, time for some new injectors and also changed to one step colder plugs at the same time

and in there new home

whilst this was going on the horns and power steering cooler were relocated

haha no worries mate ive been meaning to change them thanks for link

good little write up I had to do the same with mine, though I just ran fused power straight from battery then tapped into the ground on the existing loom. another jdm converted

haha I got grief for my lights already, I did have led's in them but kept blowing so couldn't be bothered with hassle and put OEMs back in,il take a look at the silvertech, I know long time coming on the install, stay tuned for rest of the journey.....

bumper off

lower plenum out

big looms being moved out of way

Fuel Rails out

looking a bit more roomy now

Firstly massive thanks and hats of to Bennett for having me and being a fountain of knowledge on most things including the zed had a laugh and was relatively stress free except for the RAC stitch up at the end! Forum wont allow the amount of thumbs up I want to put down

So the trip started early morning on tuesday and beat all the traffic up for an early start.

Straight to it...get the strut bar/plenum off and cut many harnesses and remove many bits of plastic I didn't even know was there,Bennett soon ripped most of it out

more to follow when pics finish uploading.....

I live near Kingston, and no specialists nearby really, Jez at Horsham or Abbey in Godstone are closest reccomended specialists , other than that it would be an independent garage

looks a great example welcome to zed ownership

As title states brand new unopened 5 Litre bottle of Fuchs Titan Race Oil 5w 40

£45 collected from Surrey (near Kingston)

Just a little feedback..I bottomed the front out 3 times today going into London, got back home and checked underneath...Skid Plates are doing there job bumper completely untouched, highly recommend

RAC here too, although if your still not sure while waiting for recovery, take the front bumper off and then shouldn't have any issues

Fully taxed and insured the zed going for a drive in the sun for first time properly in over a year

I do my own and keep receipts for everything then the new owner (there wont be one ) can see its all there and accounted for so I would say just do that

around £500-600 on the brembo callipers may get discs with it may not, may get pads with it may not depends whats out there, would also want to upgrade the lines at the same time, would you fit yourself or get someone else to do it?

some pics from film here maybe one was drift car and other for general scenes, I watched it on itv2 aswell

Happy Birthday hope you enjoy your day

Decided to bleed the brakes today, went surprisingly ok, hardest part was getting the car up off all 4 wheels

few aerial shots

Brake bleeding setup

Went round twice bleeding just to make sure it was ok, pedal went hard so put everything back on and drove to end of garages and slowed down and locked up on the gravel so I presume all is good will give it a proper test and bed in soon but im pretty happy all is ok and it feels a lot better just from the short drive.

Also trekked it up to Bennetts and sat on the M25 for 2.5 hours then had to drive 2 more hours roughly 2 hour journey took me 5 hours dropped all my charging stuff off and now the brakes are done shouldnt be long till its Vortech time!

Had to buckle up Supercharger for journey, better safe than sorry mrs didnt look impressed with that one

cant beat a bit of two tone, nice to see a different lip to, suits the mods you have done well

nope mine is an import and in the lower tax bracket

Mines gone up in the south, but what I think is yes they have frozen the price but that was when we were in the 120s so technically its still frozen at that price so they can fluctuate between that and lower without getting in trouble.

That might not be the case but if not how have I gone from 104.9 to 116.9?

interesting they used to have a selection for bumpers/bodykits/sideskirts under car parts courier but seem to have taken it off

Not sure on weight dimensions im sure someone will be along to help but make sure there is someone in all day at either end to help the process go smoothly from my experience
