ph 7 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) This is more of a statement of intent than leaps and bounds of action. I bought the car in May 2012 with 172K on the clock. Originally I was going to keep the car standard and tidy it up a little. Other than fitting an s2000 aerial I almost fitted a rear diffuser but it didn't suit the exhaust on my car and I was convinced that I'd overcome zeditis. That didn't last though and I think meeting a few of you and constantly reading this forum has nailed it for me. The mod list is growing as are my supplies for cleaning the car thanks to waxybox and autoglym products. The basics of my car are From New Azure GT '04. 172,000 miles. Full history (as far as I can tell) Dealer fit parking sensors OEM Vertical tonneau cover OEM Aluminium kick strips OEM Luggage net OEM 350z magnetic tax disc holder!!

Complete Mileage currently at 200k Installed calcium battery S2000 aerial purchased from forum (thanks Introspect!) Purchased bluetooth adapter Performed the fix for a cutting out Bose Subwoofer. The recently discussed Kinetix front discs (12000 miles and still good) Remove and refit rear bumper properly after it hadn't been mounted on the ears correctly Polished the exhaust tips to within an inch of their lives. Sprayed the insides of my boot with beer during the Midlands Big One after a spirited drive. Note to self, the cargo net doesn't stop a depressurising can. Replacement air filter (thanks Vlad!) 20mm and 25mm spacers fitted Some alloys for winter wheels (thanks keyser!) Nismo Front bumper purchased, repaired and sprayed and fitted (thanks moped mark) Nismo Side skirts prepped sprayed and fitted Celica JDM Spoiler, prepped sprayed and fitted Clear reflectors installed (thanks tarmac) LED interior and exterior light kit (thanks cs2000) Get some winter tyres Z logo alloy caps (thanks asad) Fixings for undertray Get my aircon re-gassed Replacement OEM gearknob Replacement gaiter and handbrake covers (thanks toothy) replaced oilcap and gearknob with neochrome units (thanks mattross1313) Depo rear LED lights (thanks bc1987) replacement japspeed k2 exhaust as my powerflow backbox has spilt (thanks Gumpy000) replace track control arm replace clutch and fly and change gearbox oil (thanks clark motosport for supply and Cougarsport for fit) Respray of rear bumper and wings when the spats and spoiler are installed Duracon Gear Knob (thanks pauljames90) JWT Popcharger (thanks pauljames90) Wrap roof gloss black Tint rear and side windows I4n's boot divider (thanks Suprawookie & Ian as well i suppose) Removal of boot weight GT4 Anniversary Wheels in (exact colour to go here!)(Thanks ConnorW06) Purchased (not fitted yet) My new Registration Install my new head unit (thanks wifey dearest) Future Things remove the leaves from my engine bay and perhaps give it a clean.

14N Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 remove the leaves from my engine bay and perhaps give it a clean. Is this due to recent peer pressure? I saw Mark's Zed very recently and considering it's done twice the mileage of mine and in some cases 3 or 4 times the mileage of other cars, it's wearing the miles very well. A credit to it's former and current owner. Look forward to seeing your developments mate, I assume you've got the N/S/R tyre sorted now?

ph 7 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Definite peer pressure. The leaves were there to keep it warm in these harsh conditions, just another way i'm looking after it. Well the tyre it has air in it. I'm toppping up every 3rd day currently until I have chance to drop it in for repair. It isn't losing too much though, must have been how it was parked was opening a wound! I can only claim to have looked after it for 6500 miles, there is time yet for me to do something stupid! Chances are this will be the slowest updated thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice car and exhaust sounds good ....... .......:::Please don't buy eyelids I only promised that I wouldn't use any money from the skirts to pay for eyelids. On that topic, let me know if you still want first dibs on them otherwise I'll pop them on for sale. As I may have some alloys to buy... I liked the urban camoflage look ( leaves). So the tyres going to last a few days more then m8.When we gonna meet up again then chaps. I've contiued the urban camoflage look further by flinging mud up the sides from some country lanes. Given how much paint is missing from stone chips combined with the leaves and mud I think my car is only 5% azure at the moment That raises a good point on when though. @Wasso, what are the details of the April event? April Drive Meet & Eat Location (TBC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 TBC at the moment, not had a free weekend yet to do a Recce. I'll try and have a bash this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph 7 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 So today I fitted the hubcentric spacers 20mm front and 25mm rear, felt like my first proper mod. Test driven and all feels great In other news, I have agreed a price with Keyser for his 17" wheels. Another thing crossed off the list. So of course we have to have the obligatory before and after comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
