Hello there!

Welcome! Sounds like you're doing the right thing, I always find when buying a new car there is quite a lot to do at the start just to get it to the level you want it. Look forward to hearing more updates

From experience a bodyshop will never finish the paint up properly. They use old skool techniques and don’t have the right lighting to see what they need to see. Saying that there is a base standard that you do expect from a bodyshop and unfortunately these days to find a place that does do a good job is like finding a needle in a hay stack. If I was you I would see if there is a trusted detailer in your county to have the car in their studio to check over and ‘finesse’ the paintwork afterwards, i.e take out any sanding marks, buffer trails ect. that have been left over. Clearly the bodyshop you have used that’s the normal standard of work for them so to expect anything more is naive in my point of view. I’ve never ever had a car come to me that’s been painted badly, it go back to the bodyshop and them get it perfect.

First time I’ve got some decent photos of the car outside since all the work, came out okay for some un edited iPhone images! Really enjoying the stock look, which is good because that means I can take my time getting the kit fitted.

@JAllen28 I don’t think the tinted plates are legal

Any video footage of how this set up sounds like?

Did take a while! Tooth pick did really come in handy in this area

Completely agree, always hear people bang on about how the interior is dated..well obviously it’s a 15 year old car. To me the interior has character and is very individual unlike interiors now a days which is shared across all models. Thank you!

Managed to do my interior 'properly' minus taking the seats out which I will do another time. Interior was probably the worst part about the car when I got it, one of the first things I did was give it a good vacuum and wiped all the surfaces down. Then at a later date I gave the steering wheel and seats a deep clean. So yeah at surface level it wasn't that bad meaning I've only driven it a handful of times since doing the previous cleaning but today I spent time really focusing on the small details. Interior is now looking and smelling fresh, about 90% to where I want it to be, like I said taking the seats out will make up that other 10%. Work completed: All carpets and surfaces vacuumed All surfaces wiped down with anti-bac solution Headliner Steam Cleaned Steam used to kill bacteria within ventilation system All plastics cleaned with KochChemie MultiInterior cleaner 'Tooth pickery' carried out Steering Wheel & Seats deep clean using Hog Hair brush and Angel Wax Heaven for Leather Leather treated with Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard Final quick vacuum New Air Freshener

Always good to see another local Z in the area! Can't wait to get my hands of this when the time comes

Did you ever sell these?

The Brothers were out at the weekend!

Some lovely shots as usual! In terms of your spacers I was just speaking to a lad yesterday that had a Nismo, Mk2 mind you but he had loads of problems with his Eibach spacers. He changed to the Z1 Motorsport spacers with the extended nuts and he said it cured the problems completely. Also might be worth using some 3in1 anti-seize copper grease, will help them not get as stuck.

From peoples real life experiences with the Eagle F1 the MPS4S has better wear rate, so I’ll stick by my original statement. That’s the only thing these tyre reviews do not cover its wear rate, that’s why the website has a summary section based on what people have found after x amount of miles using each different tyres.

I spent a lot of time looking into this when I was making my decision on what Tyre to go for. From what I found is that the wear rate on the MPS4S is considerably better then the Eagle F1. Although the Michelin’s are more money nothing can compare. You pay for what you get essentially. You can find the MPS4S in the sizes you are after but you do have to look thoroughly.
