Dave-350 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 I had the belts fitted and also got my self some old school ramps which are so handy! I removed the Kakimoto exhaust and attempted to raise the system up, I managed to get about 10mm which did make a lot of difference to how it sits! Sorry, not the best pic! Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Finally, after 2 weeks of messing around with the coilovers I have just about finished... HSD Coilovers with Eibach adjustabe camber arms. Sorry the pictures arent great, iphone! Full 3D wheel alignment (That I will be making a seperate thread about soon) Back end is quite low to the ground... Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Next on the list is the Aeriokit side skirt steps like Buster and theheff have on their Zeds... Im going to get them wrapped in Carbon fibre to match the front lip... Should look good Now the car is lowered though I cant help but feel I need more poke on the wheels! Quote
Dave-350 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 So over the Easter weekend I managed to get a few more jobs done... Firstly, here is the chrome powder coated plenum that looks great. Many thanks to Buster, Keyser and Mrs Keyser for sorting this out for me. I managed to get a set of Aerokit side steps, and then wrapped them in Carbon vinyl to keep with the flow of the front splitter and colour scheme I have going on... I also tested out my WaxyBox products, some of which are incredible products that I will be purchasing. So what do you guys think? Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Like those steps a lot! I was interested in some a while a go. They look really smart. In the last pic your paint looks almost satin, quite like that too! Quote
14N Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Looks cool Nice work with the skirts. I tried wrapping my front splitter when I got it. Hence the reason I now have a lot of spare vinyl and a painted splitter - it ain't easy doing something that size/shape! Quote

Hence the reason I now have a lot of spare vinyl and a painted splitter - it ain't easy doing something that size/shape! Yea, it can be a pain in the ass. I have never done it before, and only decided to do it as I couldnt find any carbon fibre skirts I liked! Looks ok though I think Quote
14N Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 If you've got any decent sized off-cuts, you'll be sat in your car soon, maybe in traffic etc, looking round the interior thinking "Hmmm, what else can I wrap"? It'll happen, I betcha. Quote

It'll happen, I betcha. Haha, maybe! The stuff I got looks quite good, it was sold as '4D carbon'. If you could clear coat it you would never know it was a vinyl, pretty cool stuff! A lot cheaper than my splitter was lol. Quote

A lot cheaper than my splitter was lol. Sounds like the same vinyl I got. (I didn't get the expensive 3M stuff). In the current economic climate, I've heard that Formula 1 and MotoGP teams are wrapping fibreglass and aluminium parts in carbon look vinyl to save costs. I may of made that last 'fact' up.....

downhuman Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Looks good mate! What waxybox stuff did you like most? Quote
Dave-350 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Looks good mate! What waxybox stuff did you like most? The glass cleaner was really good, as was the mint wheels! Great products though all round! Quote

If you could clear coat it you would never know it was a vinyl, pretty cool stuff! A lot cheaper than my splitter was lol. One thing I'd suggest is, I'd test on a piece first as the clear coat could fill the pores of the vinyl making it just looking like black until you really look. Quote
Dave-350 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Hey guys! Im back! Castle combe this Saturday - Will get vids up when im done! Quote
jase4072 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Hi mate, the steps really look the part, were they easy to fit? im looking to get some in the neare future. Quote

Dave-350 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Sorry about the over exposed video! Not much to see! Performed great, mistake at 7mins 40 secs saw my sideways at 120! Great day!! Quote
notfub Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Ahh that little rise just before quarry, car goes light and the road goes left. Had a few moments there myself.....but in my Mk2 CRX Track car, not my Zed Quote
bronzee Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Busy at 7.40. All good practice. Is your head/helmet hitting the roof or is that just the angle of the video? Quote
