Thanks. Just noticed you're from Brechfa Forest. We have holidayed there the past 2 years. Excellent mountain biking terrain Are you here again this year? You're welcome to call in anytime. The Black Lion in Abergorlech is my local...best food imo for miles around Not sure yet. We're hoping to. I was in the Black Lion with my brother in law last august after coming down the Gorlech trail. We were covered in mud, so bought drinks and sat in the garden opposite. We stayed in Brechfa Forest Barns. Do you know Nicki and Jason from the barns?

Wow...this looks like a mammoth but fantastic project. Fair play to you. Can't wait to see more

Just did a price comparison as I haven't bought my zed yet. £272 fully comp. 44 with 20 years no claims protected, fully comp. Wheel spacers and lowered = £680 fully comp. Can't believe how much extra it is

Roughly how much does 4 wheel alignment cost? £100? Just seen, about £120

yep about about £500 if doing the fitting your self and it's about 8 hours labor working off jacks and sat on the floor . That's what could drive the price up as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I would be doing it myself on a nice sunny day

Congratulations on being recognised for your hard work This is the snow foam I use from eBay. Foams up nicely and does a good job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-VALET-CHERRY-SNOW-FOAM-5L-VALETING-DETAILING-WOW-/121317063939?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item1c3f0f7d03

Yeah totally random but good tip

Thanks for that. I was thinking 5-6 hundred so about right then.

Thanks I'll have a look. Yeah, I would be doing spacers at the same time too, once I get my car

Very nice

And if you use springs, you would also need adjustable camber arms for the rear and bushes at the front. Is that correct?

Just out of curiosity. When would you use springs and when would you use coil overs to lower your car? I understand that with coil overs you have more options regarding ride height, stiffness etc etc, but if you were only ever going to be road driving, would you just use springs to drop your car? Are the coil overs more for track driving, as you can alter the setup?

Do they come with free wheels, spacers and lowering kit then?

I've seen this type of project talked about on other car forums too The Pi is a neat bit of kit to incorporate. I look forward to see how it evolves

That's what I do. Cherry snow foam into the bottle at the end of the lance and it foams. I will get a proper foaming lance one day, but the supplied one does work to an extent

Well hopefully a 3rd polishing machine will help with my efforts. The problem is the machines are not industrial and so heat up and need to cool down every 30 minutes, so a 3rd machine allows the 1st machine to cool down etc. Comp finishes 30th April. Hope you win mate. They look great

Voted. I'll be after a polished plenum one day When does the comp close?

Brilliant. Enjoyed that. Can't wait for the next fast and furious to be released.

I have had one of these for over a year now and can vouch that it's a good unit. Even the bottle that comes with it, will foam up snow foam, not to a thick foam but a foam that's good enough

Wow, you've done some fantastic work there. Full credit to you. Now I'm even more unsure what colour I want lol

Welcome. You're in the same boat as me. I've been a member here for a year now, researching mostly, but I'm almost ready to purchase my first zed and can't wait

I'm 44 and haven't bought mine yet. I'll have it before I'm 45 though

Hi Arran, This thread has just kept me occupied for the last hour and a half. And enjoyable it was too A credit to you and all that have helped you. Your Zed looks stunning, and has an impressive build list. I'm hopeful that I will be able to purchase my Zed within the next couple of months, and you have certainly given me food for thought lol

Hi. How much with the kit left on?
