Could bits of wood and jack on the rear Diff. If i remember rightly theres a nobbly dome to go on. For the front/side. If you can reach the subframe then great, if not jack of the sill with a small bit of wood, there is a slightly wider part of the sill somewhere I believe.

Anyone around here swapped the VQ35 for a VH45DE?
HmmBen replied to brother_david's topic in Performance
Like your attitude. Can still get good gains from the VH45 So why not go for it. Your not chasing huge HP figures by the sounds of it. Good luck I say -
From what I remember the coloured kits used to fade with time. Ksport orange would go peach and D2 purple would go lilac lol. Black might be the safer choice, however they might of changed since and dont fade anymore.

Looking forward to this. The zed has loads of space round the back of the engine, its just begging for a V8. -
Even so. Its only as strong as the metal its bolted to.

Hi and welcome. The FAQ's and guides are very good on this site so I'm sure you'll be well catered for
-
These look great but dont count on them staying the same shape when you use them. Most are quite flimsy unless towing in a dead straight line. Make sure the bracket is really heavy duty and as the bolts man enough, It'd bend and cut a hole into your bumper otherwise.
-
As said it looks a bit out of place. Not all out wrong... but maybe if your car was a bit more track/drifty it would work.
-
That looks immense fun. Glad you had very good reliability. I imagine the fuel cost still added up by the end of it though.
-
Really like the rolling pics. Shame I dont have any friends/friends with decent camera's lol
-
Welcome along. As said I think you'll get bored with the power difference. But for everything else its a much better car.
-
Welcome along. Glad you got the exhaust fixed as its very common. Although really its just an excuse to make it sound nicer haha
-
See you a few times now. I swear your on here somewhere but cant place the name. Was very low and quite clean too.
-
Can't go wrong with yellowstuff. Fitted lots of them before and never heard any problems with them. Are you doing discs aswell?
-
Little knocking noises like that usually are anti roll bar drop links. So definately worth a look at them. Could be the brake pads moving slightly when applied? Maybe they havent got the correct shims for the pads or no shims at all causing them to move slightly? (doesnt explain the going over bumps noise)
-
Sorry to hear it. I'm looking to do the same only due to the only being able to have 1 car issue. Dont get me wrong its not impracticle but you dont want to be using it to get dirty thats for sure. Definately get another one when the situation allows it, I know I will.

A fellow Zed owner commented on how quiet mine was the other week while i was backing it out of the tyre garage, I gave it a small blip up to 4.5k ish and he was pleasantly surprised how nice it sounded. Personally I think it looks better as it really hugs the bumper line and there is no visible exhaust clamps.
-
That may have done it. They are big heavy doors. Yes the striker is the U, C, whatever steel hook thing. In this case you might just be able to give the door a bit of brute force and tweek it upwards.
-
I bought mine with over 100k on it. Did not put me off. Bought on condition not mileage but still serviced it anyway for peace of mind. I certainly hope whoever buys mine has the same mentality as these engines go on forever.
-
Without looking myself. The 1st place to adjust would be the striker on the car. Loosen the bolts adjust and re tighten. Otherwise its onto the hinges but then you'll most likely have shut line issues. Is there any reasons why the door might of dropped?
-
If the choice is still between the two I'm very happy with my Scorpion system. Personally I think it looks better. It is resonably quiet, but no drone at all.
-
Looks spot on buster. Any rubbing at all?
-
I used to have to get on my old drive at an angle with my previous car. Was at times balancing on 2 wheels. I suggest a remodelled drive
-
Sounds immense. I'd like to hear the same thing but that would involve someone else driving my car, haha. Sorry to hear about the V2
-
Ah I dont quite go down that far. Wouldn't of been me.
