Cheers guys, yeah havent seen any with yellow under the hood and love the contrast of black and yellow, yeah will post updates as they happen, missus has got me a load of bits for b'day so will b fitting that lot soon, i have tried many times to build the super bourbon and never got this far (no utensils allowed)

Thought i'd start a project to detail the changes i have been making to my Zed, How it came http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_5487a.jpg http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_5490a.jpg http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_5486.jpg The first change i did was to fit the phoenix gold Sound system full phoenix gold amps titanium elite sub and component set plus some phoenix gold octane 6 components. photo also shows the real carbon fibre skined strut brace i made too. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/14072011417.jpg (a few more photos to add here) i also purchased some Nismo b pillar covers from a member on here and swapped them for the non defined ones that were on the car already but starting to look a little worse for wear. next i fitted a set of Yellow coolant hoses and added a standard airbox back in with a HKS filter using the ally pipe from the induction kit. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_0036-1.jpg the next thing i did was tint the rear lights i actually did this twice first time i used a fly eye kit but didnt like the finish and they looked to mat black so re-did them with tint spray http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/30092011571.jpg a super bourbon i made whilst waiting for the paint to dry http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/02042011319.jpg the next mod was a carbon fibre air duct in the front bumper. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_0967-1.jpg then came a major overhall under the bonnet including a plenum spacer and sprayed the headlight internals matt black. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_0039.jpg http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/DSC_0048.jpg this is the current stage of the engine bay, and there are now alot more parts on order to add to it. http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/rodgeevans/07102011589.jpg All mods have been DIY done by myself next on the list 1. finish under engine, 2. remap from abbey 3. Nismo Alloys 4. bodykit 5. much much more

Sperad that lot out on the floor in one picture and it would remind me of the porn shot in the original fast and furious, nice job mate will look on this one with interest.

Well managed to get some yellow ones direct from SFS Performance, these are there own mfr hoses and not cheap bought in ones from China with there logo printed on it like some companies, and only a 2 week waiting time if not in stock already apparently. So better than Amber Performance's 8 week waiting time and slightly cheaper as well

that was my point about being on the right car, would look out of place on a standard one but with the right kit its another question.

Yeah not my cup of tea but would be boring if we all liked the same thing i reckon it could look good on the right car and if the person buying it likes it thats all that matters

Saw A GM in Billericay High st about 2.30 Friday private plate, then a silver outside the red lion in bill high st at about 8ish, then a sunset in maldon fullbridge road with the drivers side wing mirror hanging off bout 5ish today

My step dad had the only rag top hemi to come to the uk think only 2 came to europe he sold it for pitance when the market fell out then got a call last year when someone had just brought it and was checking out its history and the guy paid 60,000 for it his last muscle car was a 440 cuda with the 6 pack and drag cut box on it. He's a muscle car entusiast and won many a shows with his cars.

Excellent stuff after the thread the other day i actually went out before knowing this and did some night shot experiments now have to work out how to get exact picture i want.

I had looked at demon and the reducers are only available in 4 colours, not the required yellow and are the extreme version not the standard hoses, they have the other hose but not both, Amber have both listed, Why would you avoid them have you had issues with them?

To be honest it just went back on in the position it was in and i assumed it was right well you know what they say assumption is the mother of all f#@kups

Well i dont have the problem of it running out early it does use the whole gauge and more. sensors are a pain to change i believe means opening the fuel tank i think

yeah mine flashed ----dte for about 20 miles at most then i got over 76 litres in it had to do 2 transactions as the pump stops pumping at £99

Its not i trick of angle after filling up square on it always goes past the F

Well when i bought the car it came with the air intake pipe, blue hoses but with a cone filter on it and no sheild or anything, so i purchased an airbox off a member on here second hand and replaced the cone filter with the standard box with a hks filter in it, i did think it looked like there should be something else there as there are clips on the panel but it wasn't there when i bought it so who knows where it is propperly in someones garage with the original airbox. the engine cover and strut brace were removed as i was fitting my plenum spacer and polishing the plenum as shown in another thread or actually here as for giving you my pipe (that sounds wrong, perverted mind i think) if i can only find a full yellow kit you can have it mate. so where do i find a yellow samco air pipe kit

I'm wanting to replace the blue hoses on the air intake on the picture below with yellow ones to match my coolant hoses anyone know the best place to get these, the one at the maf end is a reducer aswell. Many thanks Rodge

Back in the day when my village had its own garage i may of, but now i just use tescos and pay at the pump, So back to topic no one else seems to get a fuel reading this high wonder what going on then

I cant even manage to go in, Pay at the Pump i do.

Thats my thoughts exactly i normally just do it get it over and done with and fill the bugger up. its out my way to go to the petrol station so would rather not do it all the time, plus i drive a mixed route and still average about 10km/l as most the roads are crap cheap surface country roads with many potholes and ups and downs after that i only do about 5 miles a day on dual carrage way then its town driving for the rest of the journey

Well mine is JDM and i put over 76 litres in it yesterday, so im confused i thought i read somewhere uk ones were smaller, but perhaps it was other way around and mines been replaced with a uk one at some point.

Maybe i will just do half a tank in future, if you reckon it will make a difference, yeah i was thinking it was a bit excessive going over that much. was wondering if its where its got an 80l jdm tank and the clocks have been changed to uk or something so as to read mph and its messed the fuel reading up.

I just fill up every couple of weeks saves driving to a petrol station every few days, but just a niggling thing that i wondered if could be corrected somehow.

Does any one elses fuel readout go off the scale after filling up like in the picture and is there a way to get it to read correctly.

I thought maybe it was because people didnt see it as i only found it this morning, but the thread had a lot of views, maybe run it so the winner of each challenge goes in the 350zuk calander if it could be arranged, doesn't have to be the main picture but there are often three or four pictures on each month, but then of course the challenge would have to be restricted to 350 & 370's and would need agreemnet of calander organiser. If been wanting excuses to get out and use my camera again properly rather than just point and clicking. Thought this was a good idea myself and suprised there wasn't any interest.
