bizz Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Their not going to be that colour after a few miles but very nice Haha true enough but I hope they stay like that for a while cos I'm not going to be putting loads of miles on it..... well not straight away :-P Nice shiney shiney there! looking good. I like the look of those Eibach ARB's too. Can't wait to start putting them all on, hoping those ARB's will help the transformation WHERE DID YOU GET THE MAX PARTS enquirer about them with place in japan and states never got a reply ?? Don't be in a rush man it took me a while to get in touch with them and the first time I tried I never got a reply. I went through both Japan and the US. Don't worry too much about those ones man, my version will be about around xmas time Only just seen this - looking good. All the pics of the shell prep bring back memories. Just takes soooo long. Cheers man, it's taking a long time but good things come to those who wait and all that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't know the condition of this car before-hand, but you were almost better off just buying a rolling shell for what you've left on the car! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 How much of this car do you need to remove before we can no longer call it a Zed? just a big metal frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d95gas Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Awesome thread Bizz, some amazing working going on there. Might have to get a look in the flesh as I am only on North Road (The MR2 house), missed the drifting at Teesside which was a bit disappointing, thats what happens when its "All work and no play", don't know how you manage to fit all this work in, definitely subscribed to this one. I am not averse to getting my hands dirty if you ever need a hand. Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a battle fitting this in and the drifting around work and stuff but it's pretty addictive. Think you might regret the offer of help my man :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizz Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ok guys so we're at the 120 man hour mark now and this is what the nearside looks like now... So the rear, interior end of the car is pretty much stitched now just a couple of seams near the floor pan and the long seam which runs right the way across the width of the car. Then I can set into the front end under the windscreen and over the tunnel :-) Oh yeah... and these turned up today too........ thanks to Octet, cheers man!!! SPL solid subframe bushes SPL front camber arms (these things are a work of art) That should be just about all of the suspension geometry stuff now, I just need the suspension haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 He needs proper coilover setup on the rear as well, otherwise he would have snapped the KW v3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 smudgeons selling a set of BC coilovers if theyre any use to you Cheers man but as Oct said I need full coilovers with the remote reservoirs.

bizz Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 i so wanna see this out on track any ideas on colour schemes etc yet or we to earlier still haha Still a bit early mate as I'm completely undecided. Will probably ask people to put some suggestions forward and I'll go from there. Is that lazy?? Lol I'll keep an eye out on my350 and G35 for any potential KW's. Cheers man that would be awesome :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
