Scott TMN

Certainly is man!

Managed to get in for the alignment today too. Guys at the Tyre shop did a good job, although it wasnt too bad to start with its nice to see all green

Great stuff Scott & well done about the trophy.

 

Looks like there were some classics there too, ...looks like a couple of Mk1 Escorts (Xr3i) behind your car. Any more pics of the meet?

 

Cheers mate, yeah there were a few old school fords! A very impressive mexico too, but unfortunately I didn't grab any more pics!

Alert, suspension collapsed, get it checked Scott!

 

Car looks good buddy, happy to see it still wins trophies! Well done!

Cheers mate!

So I finally got round to making a bracket to fit my rear fog light int the bumper. I did buy a bracket from a breaking Z (oem bumper) but for the life of me couldn't work out how to get it on with that, so just make something up. Ir was a bit tricky as the light doesn't sit in link with the crash bar, it sits in, and at an angle.

Some paint for protection

Also went to a BBQ meet a The Halfway House last weekend where I was luckily enough to take the 'Car of the Day' trophy, which I'm absolutely over the moon about

And the mugshot haha

I'm in

Yes that does sound good! HFC first I think!

Sounds really cool! Really liking the sound of the ecutek. Would like to get it on mine one day, mines a 7AT though so bit gutted no launch control!

thursday after that is july 21st? Sounds good to me?

When is the next one?

Them pictures look Amazing!

Your zed makes me miss my zed

We can always swap?

So the location of the Airlift controller had been bugging me for a while. I had it in the armrest cubby which I didn't find ideal. I spent some time looking for a better location to mount it and after weighing up my options I went for to the left of the steering wheel and to the right of the centre console/starter button.

I had intended on bolting my bracket on. With this In mind I made it so the holes would be in the lower part of the dash trim, a place I thought wouldn't be as bad should I ever choose to remove it, as its more discreet and an easier item to replace.

So I made my bracket. The material used was more than sturdy so I cut a hole for some weight saving

Some paint and foam pads later

Then onto removing some plastics to re route the cable to the footwell

And wallah all mounted

I am very pleased with it and its a massive improvement over being in the cubby. It feels solid when pressing the buttons, which are now much easier to access. Obviosuly not 100% visible without moving my head but its still much easier to use and was a more simple mounting option. I'll just touch up the bolts with some black touch up paint to help blend them in and im happy!

Also had a great day at Meguires this weekend organized by Amy (thanks Amy!) and was good to meet a few new faces!

A lot of inspiration here for my build! Looked amazing in person, even though if it was in pieces when I saw it. This would have looked real nice with those RT wings that I managed to snap up

Haha cheers I have seen your recent album of your car, looks amazing man!

That looks awesome man!

Had a great day yesterday! I'd like to thank Amy also for the organising it yesterday! Thought it was very benificial and the guys at meguires certainly know their stuff and thought everything was well presented.

Was good meeting some new faces too!

Scott - the S2000 owner/ your plus 1 can come along but please park separately as Meguiars may take photos & should be all Zeds , thank you :-)

No worries

It's not just you Stu, it was upside down haha

My plus one will be in his s2000, is it ok if he parks with us or does he need to be separate?

All paid for Looking forward to it!

That looks absolutely awesome man!

No real updates but had a good time out in the z at the weekend. First time for a while that I have been able to go out in it driving with a few friends and properly enjoy it, be it short lived due to the weather!

Parked up with my old, soon to be bagged 350

Today I managed to get hold of a new crimp connector for my show n go plate as it doesn't fit my new battery clamp currently, and also I made a start on my bracket to mount my airlift controller.

Thought I'd share another few pictures a mate took of the car

The drive you had was crazy! Was good meeting you though man, looking forward to seeing it all complete!

See my guest has moved to number 3, but we are both there still so I'm happy. Will be a good day! Looking forward to it lads

No worries man

No welding just bolt in and out job

Like you say bolts through seat belts point and then under the plastics of the rear strut, there are 2 tapped holes so just picks up on them

Speak to Grant at GC Fabrications, a mate of mine that does them My car was the test car
