H5 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Either that or NA work around intake, plenum etc. as there isn't much else to do! Dont forget, its not just engine mods for the dynamics of the car. We should be looking at cars with suspension (coil overs) and big brake kits. Arguably they add more to the car than adding more power There is quite a lot more you can do to an NA car, just none have done it in this country AFAIK. Adam is a prime example of how NA can be done Agreed. So that would be the likes of IanS16's. In fact, just thought of one other that has gone pretty far..... MrLizard. Quote
Chris`I Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 IanS16's would get my vote. Mild engine fettling, suspesion upgrades (I beleive), big brake kit on the front and a few external mods but no big body kit Quote

Cheers guys, take that as a compliment. Recieved an email back yesterday evening: Hi Ian, Thanks for the fast response! Very nice looking Zed – I’ll show the rest of the team and get back to you tomorrow. Cheers Davy So here's hoping. Thanks for the support too MartinMac, I'll definitely need a bumper respray if anything does come of this Hopefully one of us gets this anyway, should be some good press for the club Quote
dcash5 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Surely Pauls, Muddy, 3fiddy, Andy (when its painted) or chilli's por Kev's have to be considered aswell Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Good luck with this guys, hope one of you nail it. I personally would not want my Zed to be considered as it really is not my thing so the coverage should really go to someone with the proper car who will get a buz from the headlines and the plaudits. Thanks to all for the nominations Alex. Quote
H5 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Surely Pauls, Muddy, 3fiddy, Andy (when its painted) or chilli's por Kev's have to be considered aswell Check their criteria now though bud, sounds like they want pure function over form. Quote

I dont think the aesthetics would rule any car out as long as it has the required engine mods and was done for purpose as opposed to purely for looks. At the end of the day the car is going to be on the cover of a magazine so surely it wouldnt be ruled out because it looked "too" modified!?! Its just my personal opinion but whats the point of having a standard looking Zed on the cover of a mag even if the engine was a beast? There are plenty of gorgeous cars in the forum so Im sure one of them will make the cut - be great to see any members car on the cover of Redline thats for sure Quote
Chris`I Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I wouldnt know, I dont know what they are looking for. I think all the cars mentioned should go for it though Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I thing they should use a few to show what you can do with them and how different some of them can be! Quote
M350ZB Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I thing they should use a few to show what you can do with them and how different some of them can be! +1, people take so many different routes with the zed, and within this club, we have some fine examples Quote
Bundus Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Yeah I wouldnt be put off by the criteria - you dont ask you dont get eh! Or as Alex says "shy boys dont get the sweeties" That would be a great idea to use more then one. Even if I dont get past the first selection phase Id just be happy to see one of the forum members on the cover. To see 2 or 3 would be even better! Quote

Chris`I Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 How about all 50 odd from Wales I think a group shoot would be good, even if they are just in the background of some shots Quote
