smudgedon Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 After months of searching for the right one, and a bit of drama on here i've finally got the keys to my Zed! Picked it up from a place in Tonbridge, Kent. 65 point check on the car to which the only comment was "rear tyres have 6mm of tread". AA inspection also came back with no negatives apart from flexi pipe is a bit frayed, but aren't they all! It's a 2004 (54) GT model. Previous owner added a few little touches like tonneau cover, LED sidelights, LED interior lights, iPod connection to Bose stereo, carbon fibre front bumper lip and carbon fibre cooling panel also Plans are the usual stuff, lower on Eibachs, plenum spacer, HFC's, exhaust and UpRev Already had a 200mile journey to MK and back this weekend and I love her Quote
smudgedon Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Ah yes forgot to add the stubby to my list! And some black badges i think Oh and the Nismo gear knob and bonnet lifters that i've already got (zeditis may have set in early....) Quote
HEADPHONES Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Welcome to the OC. Looks like another Zed has found a good home Quote
sparky370z Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 About bloody time! Well done mate, looks like a tidy one! Enjoy Quote
smudgedon Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 What's that supposed to mean Lexx? Cheers Mark Quote
glrnet Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Confirmed case of Zeditis, new wheels as well................. Ah yes forgot to add the stubby to my list! And some black badges i think Oh and the Nismo gear knob and bonnet lifters that i've already got (zeditis may have set in early....) Quote
Keyser Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Congrats mate Not seen that shade of blue before You can come back in chat now your an owner Quote
dave1221 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 very nice matey, you must be very proud! good to see you got one at last! Quote
Cragus Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Congratulations! Looks clean. Are you going to change the wheels to a set of Rays or have some kind of other aftermarket idea? Who are thinking about taking it to for the uprev? Quote
smudgedon Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 I actually prefer these to the Rays tbh Cragus. I think the Rays sit too far inside the arches Wheels will be one of the last things i do after tuning, most likely be taken to Abbey to get all that stuff done Quote

I think the Rays sit too far inside the arches Wheels will be one of the last things i do after tuning, most likely be taken to Abbey to get all that stuff done The best gains you will make in terms of performance driving feel will be to remove those heavy heavy wheels and change to rays or another lightweight wheels. Unsprung weight really dampens the feel and handling of the car. Quote
smudgedon Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Are they that heavy?! I know what a difference wheels can make I really love the TE37's but just so expensive Quote

I was taking a look at your pics (very nice BTW) and comparing it with a mental image I have of mine (same colour and wheels). Your wheels (especially the rears) look further 'out' than mine IMO. Have you also managed to bag a set of spacers without even realising? Welcome to Zed ownership. I'm sure you'll agree it was worth the wait to find the right one. Quote
