Dave, I really want to see a standard zed flat out and compare how your's really pull away from standing start, not that important but also when going along at 30mph plus

 

cannot wait until the big meet to see your work and hear what it sound's like

Me and Dave are going to give that a try, mine isnt stock but compared to Daves its stock enough

I take it you are the more successful brother

 

Nah, just have better taste in cars..I do like the Rex but he bought the shite version

Long Marston Airfield is a good place, its a massive place and there are even concrete bollards to drift around if you are feeling brave

I dont think they mind you playing around on the concrete but I've been kicked off the drag strip before

Nice selection of cars

I take it you are the more successful brother

I love speed bumps, makes the Zed look like an old F1 car

Just remembered this thread where someone is a coupe did exactly the same.

There are loads of ideas in there you could try. Good luck

Please shoot the video the correct way, still pain in my neck from the last one!

You should get a netbook, its a lot easier to rotate

If coops can't sort you out theres one here

I know its not a snob brand but as you are probably hacking it to bits I doubt it matters

Looks like a tidy roadster

The bump on the rear bootlid doesnt actually er.. bump (?) its just the squared angle where it goes from top to back

Nice one, Ian, looking forward to catching up with you this week...

Not as much as I'm looking forward to it

Sounding pretty sweet Ian & good to see you will be able to join us in the next full car park that Nurrish can find Oh yes, and I will be able to give you the bill for my Chiropractor

Nurrish is the equivalent a supply teacher Keith, I'll be back soon to sort him out

Me and Dave will have to put our heads together and arrange something cool

Oh and yes I feel like

very nice man,

 

looking to get a sub and amp in mine in the next few weeks,

 

no other changes planned as of yet though.

Cheers mate, I'd definitely recommend replacing the paper clarion/bose speakers though. I'm no audiophile but they really arent the best

Finally nismo R is back on the road again

Always hard to tell the real exhaust sound from clips so i'll wait til i hear it

 

BTW CAN YOU TAKE and effing picture straight

Cheers Bennet, yeah especially from a mobile phone clip.

I'll have to invest in a propper camera and possibly a tripod

So did you get all the wiring done for the amp?

 

Really jealous of your sound may need to imitate you just to drown out the sound of my car

Yes mate, that cable was a bit overkill though

I'll give you a hand if you want to do it

My build isn't a custom box and was done on a mid-low budget but it looks as though we are doing the same sort of thing. At least you get an idea of how the sunken box looks

I thought my post may get a bit confusing if I included USDM too

Glad you will be back on the road mate. Its been a long time. Will be seeing you next weekend though at ISTS.

Yes mate, if its anything like JTS it should be awesome

Dude!! that sub looks awesome and really has worked well

 

Was a bit scary taking a stanley knife to my boot mat but yeah it has worked pretty well. Still sounds great too

Yeah need to get that belt sorted *cough* R35LEE* cough*

 

Wouldn't mind getting out on the track next weekend and seeing what she can do at full tilt

 

Overtaking is so much fun now

 

Might get some vids tomorrow.....will see if me botty boi ian is around

Yeah because I'm the best camera man in the midlands Yeah though, I'm around

A few weeks ago I fitted a HKS replica exhaust from fleabay. The quality actually looks to be very good and I had no problems fitting it apart from removing a nut that nurrish rounded off The exhaust fits perfectly straight and IMO sounds great.

Pic and video (I have boarded my gates shut while the car is SORN so I cant get a decent angle ATM)

*please not the car is still running in between 19 and 24 seconds, its just really quiet on idle )

The job for this weekend was to sort the audio out so I bought some 6.5inch components (only used the woofer and crossover as I already have components with tweeters in the doors/pillars). They fitted like a dream without any drilling and sound surprisingly good for the money so me and Nurrish sorted that yesterday.

After a day in the life of a contortionist I managed to fully rewire the amp and sub which went pretty well except for the cabling being really thick (£1 per meter instead of £3.50 at Halfrauds again) and thus being quite hard to poke through the firewall grommet etc.

I decided to keep my current 10" JBL GT4 subwoofer in a non ported enclosure as it gives some nice tight bass (for a budget sub). I personally really dont like free air woofers and couldn't be bothered to do a full computer designed enclosure so decided it was my best bet. before I had it wedged under the rear strut brace which was okaaay but today I cut out the boot mat and board and sunk the sub behind the tonneau cover. Again this actually sounds pretty good and packs quite a punch for a 10".

For once there was a little sunlight left so I had time to fit my 380RS pedal.

Next Saturday she's going to CS to have the following:

Front bumper respray with arch feathering

Exedy Clutch

Helix flywheel

New set of DS2500 pads

4x New Falkens

New undertray

New rear droplinks

Front and rear camber arms

Full (more than) P3 service

Geometry setup

Black Rays wheel nuts (from Ian)

Then over to Nurrish's to have a nav fitted

I can't wait to drive her again

Good luck Danny, I'm sure coops will look after your Zed for you

Making good progress James, look forward to seeing the mostly finished article at Silverstone

mmmm TE37s

Marzman goes a few times in his Zed, may be worth dropping him a PM

I love the rear and side profiles but not the front, especialy that bulbous grille and lights

Tim, I saw your engine at abbey and it does look absolutely spanking, the only thing I didn't really understand was the red cam covers as these are hidden after the engine is in the car are they not?

I love the polished covers and black painted front though

Looks awesome Ersen

Just the right amount of black and red, I think any CF would ruin this
