As I'm oncall I shall be fitting clear lenses front and rear with chrome bulbs and having another bash at my plenum. Got a fistful of guides printed out, ready to roll! Pics to follow and hopefully a sounclip of plenum and JWT. Big thanks to those who've written the guides, helpful and just passed an hour at work reading through them. Wish me luck.

Of the golf or of the Nismo replica kit?

Pro trim outside Stonehaven. Mate got some work done on his Golf there and looked spot on. Have asked for the same guy. Was a fibreglass kit he got and we lined it up in his garage and I thought no way it'll fit but they did a great job.

Agree with this, even in Aberdeen its hotting up. I drive past the University on my way to and from work and its definitely got a lot more flesh coloured this week

Yeah it is Fibreglass and he said that could be tricky. The front and rear have already been fitted to a Z and sprayed same colour as mine but could do with a touch up as they've got a few scrathes now and stone chips.

Just got an estimate from a local bodyshop to have a Nismo (replica) kit painted and fitted. Said they'd need the car 5 days (Mon-Fri) and it'd be £350-400 for painting and fitting a lip, side skirts and rear spats. I've no idea if this is reasonable but plan to get a few more estimates.

It sure is. Must have a dozen pics of Lost from snowboarding days up the lecht. I always used to think it was open all year round cos it had other things going on other than the skiing? Was all closed when we went passed. Wedding was up in Nairn so took the A96 to Huntly then through Rothes on the way up then home via Grantown on Spey, Tomintoul to Strathdon road.

Stew, the way things have been I count the drive out to Westhill to see my folks as a road trip at the moment! The car is wasted in the city centre commute, found a whole new appreciation of it over the weekend.

Hey folks, thought I'd post a couple pics from a weekend road trip from Inverness back to Aberdeen through the Cairngorms, 200 miles of A and B roads this weekend and the Z didnt skip a beat, fantastic. [/img]

Reasonable? I remember asking them to do work on my CTR and they said they only do insurance repairs!

Stew, which bodyshop did you use?

What are the differences between the with and without Y pipe? Noise, gains (well prob none due to the ECU) etc...........

Stew, do you remember the fuss about Aberdeenshire councils logo, £25k + for 6 blue circles

Looks amazing Stew!

Stock plenum back on, working fine. Hmmmmmm, i suspect that bypass valve has something to do with it cos there was a stink of collant after the run.

No joy after a trial run, and a strong smell of burning! Away to start from scratch again.

Cheers Stu, Scott Green has just turned up! So surely that now puts me at a negative mechanical knowledge! He's just getting in the way!

With it off? Air con was off, as was stereo. might roll it out the drive and see if it'll drive round the street. doesnt sound good at all. i'll have a go and come back in a bit.

Yeah made a point of checking that cos i've screwed that bit up before when i fitted a CAI to a previos car. It sounds really bubbly when i give it some gas after starting, def doesnt sound healthy!

ecu and throttle reset not worked, away to strip it back and start again!

is there a guide on the throttle position sensor reset? ecu reset didnt do it

yeah Maf is on fine, just checked all hoses and screws to plenum and popcharger. my dad said some fluid shot up from under the throttle body when i first started it.

No no no, something is not agreeing! All connected up, battery back on, turn key and it revs to 3k before spluttering off. Checked everything and cant see the issue.

Guys, spot on, just found it rolling loose in the box. Perfect. Stu, you in westhill today?

Folks, installing my Kinetix Plenum and JWT popcharger today and I've hit a bit of a brick wall. Following the excellent instructions in the guide I've just reattached the throttle body to the new plenum and sat it in place but I notice that the Kinetic Plenum seems to be missing a few hose connections around the throttle body compared to the oem plenum. Any help?
