Never found a car so difficult to buy wheels for!

 

This x100, especially on a grey Zed i find :wacko:

 

Nightmare isnt it! All I've managed to decide is Id like a shadow chrome finish. Still can't decide between 18s or 19s

Don't suppose you fancy selling your old bumpers? Pm me if you do.

 

At this moment I wont be fella, no. Sorry to be a bore but that difficulty of sourcing OEM parts and price has made me not want to sell them. Made that mistake before

Just seen this thread! Thought I recognized the chargespeed bumper pic on the first page ;) Car is looking really good man, and the v3 wing suits the chargespeed so well!

 

Haha cheers dude! Assume that was yours? Was one of the only decent gun metal Zs I could find a charge speed on, was such inspiration! Thanks though dude, nice to know it is being read :)

Well today has sucked to be fair. Started off well with a drive down the alignment shop, which went brilliantly and the car felt awesome afterwards. Then it nose dived

 

Started with the ECU light appearing, which I was 90% sure was the higj flow cats, which it was. Switched those off with the scanner only to get up the road and the airbag light decided to throw a wobbly, blinking away. So back down I went.

 

Switched that off and then on the drive home was forced over in my right of way by a white van man and have managed to curb my 5 day old alloys.

 

To top that off the car has developed a weird idle. When fully warm its idling at about 500rmp with the odd pop and splutter. Ahhhh. Any ideas about the idle guys?

 

EDIT: Should probably mention its an O4 DE with 78K onnthe clock, last mini service only 2K ago. Im thinking about a slightly thicker oil and new plugs, any recommendations?

Gave her a gentle bath today after a night of brake bedding in last night, my new wheels were black! I've also pulled the MAF sensor in an attempt to see if its whats causing my dodgy idle. Cant say I saw any obvious signs of contamination but then its so small I doubt the naked eye could see it

 

Some pictures

Car looks sweet, especially liking the rear and your 370 repeaters. I'd love a vented bonnet too but they just seem so expensive at the moment!

 

I think they're my favorite along with the rear bumper!

 

Well my 3rd exhaust turned up today, Japspeed K1! Not entirely sure when it'll get fitted though as Im actually in Hospital writing this! Not sure it's quite as bad as Dan and his squirty bottom although it may be later ;)

UPDATES :D

 

So I purchased my third exhaust system, a Japspeed K1... Holy mother of God :wacko: It's so freaking loud. It does sound absolutely epic mind, but I'll definitely be getting a small silencer put into just quieten it down a tad. Likes to pop the odd flame now!

And in all of the lovely weather we've had this week, I've spent every day cleaning it to the best standard possible. It's now ready for JDMcoombe on the 10th of June! Very impressed with Autoglyms latest HD wax

So for future modifications, I'll be looking to pick up

 

Rear and side window lourves

Facelift headlights

Coilovers

Wheels

Shortshifter

Ultra racing W brace

HR or a vented Bonnet

and getting it remapped finally

 

Till then B)

Showing the love ol pal!! New exhaust looks lovely, maybe throw in a couple of exhaust bungs for Monday to Friday then whip em out for a Sunday blip ;)

 

Blasphemy! Whats an exhaust bung! Who are you and what have you done with Davey! Ill get it fitted with a small silencer, just enough to tone it down for normal driving but still able to wake the dead at WOT.

 

Sounds so similar to a R35, that worrble is addictive

As the weather was beautiful yesterday and the car is sparkling ready for JDMcoombe, myself and my brother thought we'd whip the DLSR out and go looking for some picture locations. A Little bit of shameless picture spamming on behalf here but they came out so good! Modifications are a little slow right now as I'm back to work today after being a tad ill, but it'll pick up again next month ;)

Kinda annoying all my pictures have gone up the swanny after I sat there embedding them  :scare: Nevermind! 

 

So as that's happened, time for a little update! Payday came and went, which obviously meant another purchase in the shape of Jerricks Meister R coilovers!

Looking forward to getting her lowered and the coilovers on! The hunt for wheels draws nearer....
