This is great news as it was such a shame GTM didn't harness such a fantastic product. -
Andyjames Supercharged Silver Pheonix Rebuild
andy james replied to andy james's topic in Member Build Projects
Hi Olly! The top of the Mocal remote filter housing snapped off when the car landed which also bent all the Aeroquip fittings and hoses. GTM intercooler was intact but most of the alloy induction pipe work got crushed,but luckily my mate Jason's son is an expert alloy welder! Need some Rotrex Traction oil for the supercharger which I have found out is the worlds most expensive oil at £100 +vat per ltr! Andy, I'm meeting the owners of the company that bought GTM tomorrow, let me know if you need any parts for the SC. Perhaps is worth considering a TT install at this stage, you always wanted to squeeze more power out of that built engine Good luck with the rebuild! Thanks. Twin turbo was on the cards this winter to go for more power before I slung her upside down in the bushes! Lol. Think it's going to cost me a few quid to put the car back on the road so the budget for that has unfortunately gone. Luckily other than the intake pipes which hopefully I can get re made all the bespoke GTM parts survived the crash. Glad to see someone is taking on the mantle of an extremely good Z product which was very badly managed. Good luck to them! -

A little progress this week as Chris and I have been flat out on the new Z shed superstructure,which was held up by bad weather Thursday/Friday so I had to take advantage of the sunshine yesterday to lay concrete blocks! Lol. Fitted a new lateral control arm as the original one bent on impact. Must say this was a right bugger to fit! Next up was to take out the passenger dash top/airbag unit and install new ones. I now have all the parts to sort out the remote oil filter housing which looked like this! Just to cheer me up these goodies arrived from Chris at Tarmacsportz! Once the front panel arrives from Ewan at Clark Motorsport I can start rebuilding the engine bay. I know this sounds crazy but I'm beginning to get into the swing of having the chance to mod the car even further than I would have done before the crash. Zeditus has no known cure. Much more to follow. -

Spent the weekend in the garage to work on the car and also make room for all the parts ordered. Bought these shelves for £130 and am very impressed. Fitted replacement seatbelt,steering wheel airbag. Aeroquip fittings on the way so I can rebuild the oil cooler/remote housing unit.Then the cooling/front panel can be fitted so the rest of the water/air con ancillaries can be installed. More and a lot more to come! Lol -

I did a lot of bending over today and I have to say laying wet concrete blocks in the rain is a bucket list option that you guys may have missed!! Lol -
Before my excursion into the wilderness I fitted the same Strosek spoiler as you have. Maybe this pic gives you an idea of what your new back end would look like with the chargespeed.

I need a new windscreen but have found that breakers yards won't send for insurance/health and safety reasons! Looking to purchase one within a 100 mile radius of Bournemouth so I can collect.

Spent a couple of hours in the garage this afternoon. Door bolted on with the help of my workshop assistant Katrina! I have been really worried about this as it was going to be a further test to see whether the car was structurally out of line. It clunked shut first time! Phew! Got some oil filter/cooler pipes and fittings to order as they took a knock! Once the radiator housing arrives from Clark Motorsport,Supercharger pipes are repaired and the other bits I've ordered are all ready the engine bay can go back together. More to come! Lol -
Nice one Bob! We need to get together and save on postage! lol
