veef13 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Cheers guys. Happy with the outcome of the black Z's too I'm my minds eye they would look good, but that doesn't always work out this time it did Edited August 6, 2015 by veef13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veef13 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Haven't found the time yet to get booked into bodyshop, but thought would give a go at paining lip gloss black to see what it looks like (seems to have come out more dark grey in the pic, but its gloss black in reality) Edited August 6, 2015 by veef13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looking good dude Did you find a good body shop who would ask for a mortgage to spray the front lip? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looking good dude Did you find a good body shop who would ask for a mortgage to spray the front lip? Thanks mate. Haha yeah, will most likely use TGM in Fleet when the time comes. However the £10 rattle can job is doing the trick for now til I decide 100% on kit or no kit. Would be made much easier if mouthwash would sell me his nismo skirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Rattle can looks like it's holding up - Doubt he will, he will horde it like a jew holding all his gold I need to find a decent body shop in Petersfield for a front bumper spray.

(Its on my list of things to buy) Thanks mate I was sceptical about the Scorpion as on Youtube vids etc it seemed raspy but went for it and am v happy with its sound. Adds a nice rumble on startup, 2-4kish makes a lovely sound. Quiet on motorway, bit of noise when prodded.

Adds a nice rumble on startup, 2-4kish makes a lovely sound then tbh the pop chargers noise takes over from there. Quiet on motorway, bit of noise when prodded. No worries bud Seems like just the sound i'm after then, thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Few pics of recent bits and bobs Scorpion and bumper tuck Gloss black front and rear Z's And forgot to take photos of silver vent trims Need to sort another number plate as whoever had the car before me put the holes in wonky! Got an eye on a personal plate so will sort that then. Really happy with this car, one of the most fun I have had, tis a great drive and love fettling Edited September 10, 2015 by veef13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Uprev done at H-Dev today. Small gains, but wasn't expecting big numbers especially as I don't have nor do I want decats or HFC. I just wanted to ensure was running as well as can be for the mods the car has. Feels smoother and a little bit more responsive, but no power jump, which I expected. Its a NA tune after all. Jez is a great guy as always, and has a top notch team around him. And famous last words, thats it for this car Unless I stumble across £8k for a SC that is Edited August 6, 2015 by veef13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Very nice mate and at least if somebody asks you how much power you have you can give them an honest answer. Like the bumper tuck btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nice! Getting my zed on the dyno tomorrow just for power run, it's a 10yrs old zed so no high hopes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get over 270Bhp just take that as a win. Since I get 2 runs, I'm doing a little test. 1st run will be with current standard unknown aftermarket panel filter now (done at least 7k miles or more) and will swap it with a HKS hybrid filter for 2nd run. Some say (advertise) it will gain around 7-10bhp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate Nice! Getting my zed on the dyno tomorrow just for power run, it's a 10yrs old zed so no high hopes there. Same view I had. 10 years old, 74kish, stock when I got it and added a few bits, so didn't expect to even hit the "factory" figure tbh. Let us know how you get on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm intrigued how much power the car had when I brought it when it just had panel filter and cat back. Guess I'll never really know, but compared to day one it feels stronger, and now runs clean so all good there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it feels better to you and is now correctly mapped to suit the parts you've added then it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it seems some people expect an UpRev to give you a big old kick in the pants. It doesn't and won't unless car was particularly unhealthy before or SC Car is now healthy for the mods done, job done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) No real updates for the car of late apart from some rear under carpet sound deadening and a summer detail which I will be doing this weekend. However its worth noting that since the Uprev, my MPG has gone up around 5-7mpg, and I haven't been driving like miss daisy! Wasn't expecting that, which is a result. On the look out of a new exhaust soon I think for a change from the Scorpion, but also looking to move on from the zed pretty soon, been fun, but really want to get in a R34 while I still can Edited September 10, 2015 by veef13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
