installing an exhaust is not a problem,I am just too busy at work to do it right now

[valy]

the Zed is alive now,I repeat.... the Zed is alive :evil:

 

impressed with my new set up and first thought that crossed my mind was - my Zed sounds like an exotic now

 

here's a few pics of it on the car

Dude, sorry to hear about your engine from Jez today! What's the plan to get it sorted?

don't know how serious the problem is...it might be just a faulty sensor but thought will not take any risk and do the remap another day

car drives well and only stationary and at low speed is when the needle stays down

will check the oil pressure this morning with a mechanical gauge and see , if this fails will probably change the oil pump at step two etc....

will get an update here later on

[Zjay89]

only just started following this build but my god this car will be epic when its done! love the Rocket Bunny kit!

[low IQ]

Valy im loving your thread, you have balls to cut your arches. With the work and prep your doing I'm sure it will look great and your arms will ache after all that blocking down 😄.

 

Where did you get the air system from? I've been looking for the same for my 370, a lad at work has it in his BMW. He installed it himself a very simple system.

 

Cheers lee

Thanks Lee,I got it from Car Audio Security as recommended by Mopedmark and they guys were very helpful.you might also want to try air-lift.co.uk as I saw my 3P system was slightly cheaper with them

Ok so regarding my oil pressure problem,did run the car for a bit and pressure when parked was at 5 psi....went after on the ramp and got the mechanical gauge on...pressure at 37 psi...looks like a bloody faulty sensor

Good news mate at least it's a cheap fix.

[Dean.B]

This is a great build mate I'm very impressed and look forward too seeing the final outcome.

I want to make my zed purple one day haha

You won't be disappointed with the airlift kit it's a great bit of kit 🙂

Can I ask where you got.you plate holder from?

I've got a Nismo v3 bumper that I need to attach a number plate too. But I wanted to make it so I could remove it for shows and stuff. That bracket looks like something I could just unscrew when needed.

Thanks mate,I have bought the number plate from Ebay...just search for 'adjustable number plate holder' and you have various designs/colours to chose from...downside is most of them are from Asia so you will have to wait a bit for a delivery but on the plus side they are well priced

[Dean.B]

That's great mate thanks I'll take a look ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Need to get the bumper sprayed up soon so I can wait for delivery haha

things are still moving with my project although a bit slower than I would like as I don't have as much time as I need

 

next to do was to sort the oil pressure

 

this is how bad it was after 30 min driving

 

 

then I ordered this oil pressure sender from China for only a tenner ,downside being I had to wait for delivery for like 2 weeks but on the plus side I saw this on sale in the UK 8 times more expensive so worth the wait

 

 

and this is after fitting and 15 min drive

 

 

pleased with it

 

next thing was the AirLift suspension install and after a bit of advice from Dean.B (thanks) I have decided to have a go at it myself

nothing like a full learning curve so got my order of black acoustic carpet and glue spray in

 

 

 

and started the boot build

It's coming along nicely Valy. Proud of you buddy for having a go, especially after the big body build too.

[Dean.B]

No probs mate looking good 👠just give me a shout if I can help anymore.

Looking forward to seeing it sitting on the floor ☺

[valy]

spent most of today working on the car and I had to change the 18mm OSB for 11mm plywood and redo the boot build for air,after that I have bolted the compressor and the tank,downside is I just realised I am missing a few fittings from the box so I'll have to speak to the company that sold me the kit for them

next,after debating for a few weeks now ,I have decided to give the Zed a twist and blend in parts of the rocket bunny kit

couple of pics below,although it might be difficult, because of the colours, to see the lines I have followed

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Stuggerz]

Blending the rocket bunny is the way forward. its gonna look so good. Loving this build

[gsexr]

Always interesting to see something like this come together

[Jay Kay]

I hate the visible fixings on these kits, but I've also seen tonnes of kuts blended in that start to crack in under a year and need redoing. I hope it works out for you

although I will be blending in most of it , there will still be parts left with fixings...I think if you use the right materials there is no reason for it to crack over time

[Dean.B]

I like the idea of blending them into the car a bit mate, makes it different ðŸ‘ðŸ»
