Harro

Sold

need the space £500 collected

Hi there, tired of tripping over these in the garage after selling the Zed last year. For sale, set of Concept One CSL 5.5 alloys, matt black spokes with gloss black rims. Tyres are Kumho Ecsta KU39. Fronts are 19x9 ET30 with 245/35 tyres 6mm tread. Rears are 19x10.5 ET20 with 275/35 tyres 5mm tread. Wheels have a dish that is tricky to photograph, best google a picture for a better idea of what they look like. Rims have seen a curb or two and have been touched up, see pics. 2 nearside wheels worse than other 2. Tyres in good order, one has a small knick in the side rim protecter bit. Did have the metal tyre valves fitted but those started to bubble the paint and leak. Had them replaced with rubber ones and paint touched up, you can't really see them cause they're on the inside. See my post 'harros basic build' for more pictures. Looking for £600, collection from York.

Hello there, Not sure what I'm thinking is a repair or a bit of a botch, but gonna try something. This is the rear arch after been parked up for a while. http:// Not good, so took bumper off to see how far rust has gone. http:// Not good underneath, couple of holes. Here's after some cleaning. http:// What kind of treatment is recommended? Rust stopper stuff, filler, blather in underseal? Any advice appreciated.

Well it's been a while since I posted on here, quite happy with the mods to the Zed, so haven't done much else. It's been parked up for winter, so with summer coming time for a check over and MOT. First thing I noticed was a blowing Y pipe. Having read posts regarding replacements I took a chance with an Ebay Japspeed. Given the low mileage the car does and that I'm always thinking about selling, the cheap option made sense. http:// Looking rusty underneath so undersealed at the same time. Tape round the cats is to stop the heat shields rattling. Passed the MOT so time for a good clean and polish. Then noticed this..... http:// Grrrr, rusty rear arch. Not sure what I'm gonna do with this. Is a home fix possible, rust repair, filler and paint, or is it a new panel job? Ah well, forget about that for a minute and go for a drive. Errrmmm, that tyre looks a bit flat only pumped it up last week. Found a leak around the metal valve and peeling paint and the start of corrosion..... http:// Got all four valves replaced with rubber ones and touched up the paint. In the meantime had to fit the Rays.... http:// Car feels better with these on, until it rains. On the rear are the Lassa Impertus tyres that came with the car when I got it. Absolute garbage in the wet, I know why Lassa sponsor drifting. The new valves seem to be holding pressure so will be swapping wheels over soon. Apart from these issues it's good to be driving the Zed.

Ah..........would be interested in the plastidip if that's what you choose. I kept my Rays for winter, but they're fitted with Lassa tyres that aren't good in the wet. Swapping decent tyres for poor ones when the weather gets worse doesn't make sense. But then buying a set of winter tyres for a car I don't use that much doesn't make financial sense. Coating new wheels could be the answer.

Taking some hols from work so on with the mods. Had a slight squeal from the brakes and wasn't really impressed with the braking performance so ordered a full set of Mtec discs and Mintex pads. Also while car is jacked up time to fit clear reflectors. http:// Well brakes are on, fairly straight forward, followed the 'how to' for the fronts, very helpful. Only tricky bit was undoing the rear caliper bolts, suspension arms and handbrake cable made it tight for room. One thing I did notice was that all 4 old inside brake pads where tight to get out, wedged into the caliper and half the thickness of the outside pads . Not sure how that would effect braking. Had to give the calipers a good clean and file to get the new pads to fit and move freely. http:// Happy with the finished job, reflectors on as well. Will see how good the brakes are when bedded in, although not sure how best to do that.

Did you not keep your original wheels after getting tyres swapped? Would be good for winter use with a set of winter tyres.

I went for KU39's when I needed tyres for new 19's. Paid £150 each fitted for rears from local tyre place. For the fronts found it cheaper to buy online, get delivered and mobile fitted. Decent ratings and happy with the Kumho's, a lot better than the Lassa's that the dealer fitted when I bought the car with standard wheels, which I'll be using as winter wheels.

+1, fitted a cheapy eBay stubby, not for long....

I'd be keeping an eye on the rears, at 12 PSI that's a 3rd of what it should be. Didn't they look flat?

Is that on inside out? Had a green Halfords cover on previous cars, found it trapped moisture under it. Which I believe isn't good for paintwork. Used a separate sheet under the cover to kind of soak it up.

Ah.......... reduce drone I guess.

Interested to see how the single exit turns out, what's with the bolts in the tailpipe?

Ah sorry Dunks, misheard, wasn't expecting a chat about the car/forum.

Bit of a Nascar fan with some spare time so thought I'd have a trip to Brands Hatch for Speedfest 2. Bit of a surprise to meet someone from the forum at the Dartford toll, hey Dunc In the car park at Brands spotted a silver 350 coupe with black rays, a black 370 coupe and out the corner of my eye driving out a black? 350 conv? Decent day, weather very hot.

2 according to the sticker........

Is that price each or for a pair?

Well got the fronts on now, was gonna have to wait another two weeks for my local tyre place to get KU39s I wanted. Had a look on Tyreleader last week, in stock, arrived yesterday and about £40 cheaper per tyre. Had a mobile tyre fitter, Hometyre, come today at work to fit them. Would recommend. Bit pricy but took good care of wheels and saves time lugging wheels around. Saved cash as well, think I'll be getting all future tyres online. Couple of pics "]http:// http:// http:// Very pleased with the fitment, after reading another thread on the site I was slightly worried. Had the wheels on before without tyres but hard to tell how it would look. If interested, fronts are 19x9 ET30, rears are 19x10.5 ET20. That's probably it for now with the mods. Insurance company has an admin fee for any alterations/mods. Will probably look into buying stuff when I can and fitting it all at once to avoid multiple admin fees. Need to do something with the back bumper, diffuser maybe. But happy with mods so far..........

Fitted mine last week and loving it just the same. Especially like the burbling when given a blip of throttle. Know what you mean about avoiding any drone. Slight pressure on the throttle and it's ok.

Looking good, a drop will finish it off nicely.

Yeah just tried the usual WD, started to round off the nut and bend the bracket. Ah well, all done, as long as I don't want to go lower Got exhaust on, went for non res, loving the burble when given a blip of throttle. "]http://[/url] Having to wait on matching front tyres, on back order should be here in a couple of weeks.

Cheers mate One little hint...I'm guessing you'll like the style of them with your F1 pic Interesting, 13" with massive tyres? Shame you have to wait, nothing worse. I wasn't really in a rush for mine, but still wanted them ASAP.

Well had a grueller today, car fought me at every turn, but front springs are on. Couldn't shift either nut that holds the brake pipe to the shock. In the end had to change the springs with the shocks still in the wheel arch. "]http:// Bit tricky but all done New exhaust arrived yesterday so set about stripping the old one. Got it off, had to hacksaw the nuts off. Just left with the bolts stuck in the Y section. They seem well rusted in, called it a day, will have a bash tomorrow.
