Dave-350 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh god them V6 badges! Apart from that it looks geat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I know I know, the badges will be gone when I get the chance!! Wasso, I think you should take a working holiday trip to Northern Ireland this year, Norman needs some magic hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 In what respect, detailing or polishing? I'm in Dublin weekend of the 16th March, but not sure my Mrs would allow me to disappear for working purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Haha no worries, need to get a few bits resprayed first anyway, no point polishing a bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 RIGHT! So I had the lights fitted for a few days and just never got round to getting pictures, mainly because I wanted rid of the damned badges first So now the badges are off and give Norman a quick wash and liquid wax, he's looking almost good enough for a few pix. Where the badges were (bonnet, side fenders and boot) is a little worn and needs a really good polish to repair the paint (like the rest of him) so i've tried to hide it the best I could from you lot Pretty good fit, albeit not as perfect as OEM, but better than you would expect from lights that cost about £160 delivered from the states. The gap is a tiny bit bigger than OEM, but i'm more than happy with them. This is my only problem I have with them. The bolt are covered with oval clips, but with these lights the clips don't really fit. I managed to get 2 on each lamp on, but there is no hope of getting the last ones on. I'm still trying to source adequate bungs or grommets to do the job. Anyway, I couldn't pass up an opportunity that came up on Saturday, so without further ado... STAGE 3 OF ZEDITUS HAS SET IN!!!! Picked these 2 wee beauties up on Saturday from Dublin for a ridiculous price that would have been cheap even in Sterling, never mind Euro's, and thats not taking into affect that i got 2 door cards (that I actually have no use for really except maybe a project of sorts) for FREE!!! The passenger seat is immaculate and here's the drivers side that only has very very minor cracking on the outside upper and lower bolster. I love them I know they aren't everyones cup of tea, but I think they look perfect without the silly alezan addition to the steering wheel. However, they didn't have airbags fitted and only one manual adjuster on the drivers side, so I assume they were from a roadster or import. So I contacted Keyser about what to do, and he was very helpful in advising me that I needed a couple of 2.2 ohm 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistors which I can get form Maplin. (some may have seen my other thread) He also advised that you can fit the resistors in the OEM airbag connector from the car, but I had no patience for this and just chopped them off and fitted the resistors to complete a circuit and wrapped them in electrical tape, works great! Thanks Chris The only thing worth mentioning to anyone about the resistor fix is not to panic, when you start the car the airbag light will be lit for a few seconds and go out, it's a real heart in mouth feeling waiting for the first time. lol I will also give you another bit of advice that Keyser mentioned to me. Once the seats are disconnected, don't touch the ignition until you have the fix in place or the airbag light will need reset. I have read on the US forums about this happening and sometimes even that the resistor is fitted correctly, the light keeps coming back, so safety first in my book. So, thats it for today, hopefully I can stop buying stuff for a while and save up some cash to get the paintwork corrected and a few rust caused bubbles sorted. Going to be hard though since there is now a Chargespeed type bumper in the for sale section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Look good mate - if you like that colour Glad you got it all sorted and no warning lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Looking good. I like the wheels Did you say the weights are with tyres or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) All weights taken with tyres, obviously brand new on the Rotas but only about 4.5mm on the OEM 18's. Rota front - 20kg Rota rear - 21.5kg OEM front - 19kg OEM rear - 20kg There you go Bennett The seats are very much Marmite seats. I like Marmite, I like the seats too Looking good Kyle.

KyleR Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I bloody hate Marmite, but the seats are an awesome colour, especially in darker cars for a bit of contrast. I find black in black on black to be a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 STAGE 4 ZEDITUS!!! At this rate i'll have a twin turbo fitted by easter! This "wee" package arrived just before work yesterday. What could it be? Oh yes, the box of bags and bubble wrap that I ordered with shiny long bits inside. After removing the bags and bubble wrap and carefully placing them in the dirty blue bin out the back, i'm left with a shiny jigsaw puzzle. Which when successfully assembled makes this! The titanium rolled tips are definitely the way to go, they're the perfect mash up between the OEM and aftermarket look that I want. Thanks again to CS for sorting this out, great service as always 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's a very nice looking exhaust and fits into my "look" bracket but for me I'm really particular about the sound I want. A shame this Zorst doesn't fit my sound needs cos it looks mental. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Very nice. This does beg the question though: How many stages of Zeditus are there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-350 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think it was 'Clown' on here that had this exhaust too, it was suprisingly quiet! The worksmanship is fantastic though, great welds too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted loud I'd have bought a Nova and stuck a cherry bomb on it If its too quiet, that's what HFC's are for ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
