Iteresting to see how you get on chap, K-sport get good writeups from the Evo crowd. Its that BBK specifically sized for the Zed? I ask as a few years ago I read an article from StopTech saying about how they did weeks of testing different sized disc/callipers to sort out their BBK to keep the balance right. Interesting to see the front and rear discs are the same size as I think other kits are staggered. Maybe as its 8 pot vs 6 pot it keeps the stagger in power.

stichy: What are you trying to achieve by swapping it? Its been widely proven that the stock airbox has more than enough flow for the car to take, even when tuned (bar FI of course!). So if you want performance then dont bother swapping it at all. If you want noise, then short ram intakes (popcharger etc) are the noisiest, but suffer from a bit of heat soak when stationary. CAI elimitate this, but some say the extra length adds extra resistance to the intake charge which slows it down and flows less. Dont know if thats true. Fortunately though being an import, there is no washer bottle for you to remove if you want to fit a CAI.

I vote for Mark to give it a go and report back the results TBH once you are moving the diffence in the different intakes isnt that much. Static and dyno testing arent real life, they dont have as much airflow as the car gets when really moving. I see this every time it gets warm as on the dyno my popcharger has major heat soak but once moving on the open road the temps drop right down again. Anyway, we digress. I think both the aforementioned intakes are pretty much the same so get the one that looks the nicest or is the cheapest

Looks good in white

Happy Birthday my good man!

Our other traders also sell these (CS for example). Post up in the wanted section, see who does it cheapest and get it off them, and make sure they have it in stock first

Dont sell it for a K1!

Very nice Mike

Nice one chap, looks great. Going to see if I can grab a copy at lunch!

As said by the others, we like most Zeds here, from highly track oriented to highly modified show cars. You wont please everyone, but everyone can appreciate the effort taken. The traders on here will be more than happy to help out sourcing kit for you project too

Its on the way home Chris Tis true, but Amanda doesnt have the holiday to cover it

No worries bud. The Carnetix PSU is a DC-DC converter that allows you to power the CarPC and accessories (monitor, USB hub etc) in safety, knowing you wont fry anything when the engine is cranked (it can produce quite high voltages then and fry stuff). They can be quite expensive, but very worth while. Check out their site - http://carnetix.com/ - and to get them in the UK LinIXT sell them. Oh it also allows startup and shutdown functions which are very handy. I have a 2140 PSU

Looks like you have a great turn out guys! Shame I cant make it because of the hoon

Not seen that before! I run mine off a CarPC PSU (Carnetix). I suggest if you are doing the CarPC thing too that you do the same. It saves the components from being overdriven when the engine is started. You can also get a connector for the Carnetix to power a lilliput

Lucky lad

£90 I paid £30 to have mine done. I guess if that works out cheaper than getting a local place to do it all then its all good still

Looks like a cracking road (litterally in parts I take it? ). Great pics

Falkens 452's for me +1 +2 : they are a nice balance of perfomance and cost. Michellin PS's are the way to go if you have loads of dosh

K1 will help you get more power if you have a remap. It might make you run a little lean until then as the stock ECU might struggle to give enough fuel for the airflow, but nothing dangerous. Dont think it will loose you anything at all

Very nice matey

Try Adam@Z1auto , he might have them in stock and his delivery has been known to be quicker than supliers with them in stock in the UK!

Well we were bound to agree on something one day, we both like Zeds after all

I think it will look much better in black Feck me, we agree on something

Congrats to the new owner, its a cracking bit of kit!
