Hi all,

 

Just thought I would post some pics of my Zed after it being in such a sorry state for so long.

 

I have loads left to do still but since putting a few panels and the bumper on its sparked some enthusiasm to keep plodding along and finaly get her finished.

 

Im still having major issues with the engine as these GD manifolds and turbos look like they are going to cause more hassel than its worth :mac1:

 

Any advice on the problems is welcome cheers!

 

My mate tommy who had been tango'd trying to tackle the turbo problem.

It's so nice to have that enthusiasm back after a while isnt it :D

Your engine is looking very nice indeed, wish I had the room to tackle mine :(

coming along nicely, which bits are you having problems with on the turbos?

where is that you've got the car, looks like a mini garage?

Wow mate I thought your car was awesome before! Looks like it will be very cool when done matey.

Well i aint gonna lie - i dont know what i'm looking at - but it all looks great :D :bow:

Not a fan of the wings at all, but the ABFLUG front bumper gets my thumbs and big toes up! Nice engine build too.

Hi Jaffa, The turbos are getting in the way of everything around it plus im having trouble getting the actuators to fit!

Looks like im going to have custom engine mounts made so i can get the pipe work on to the turbos aswell.

 

I also think that im going to have trouble getting the engine to fit in the bay with the turbos & actuators fitted!

The right hand side turbo looks like i wont get any pipe work on it at all because on the room left in the bay.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks for the comments peeps :)

there are 3 things that I know of martyn doing to get my setup to fit

1) cutting and rewelding inner wing to make more space!

2) ground a bit off engine mount and used the poly mounts instead of stock as they're smaller

3) Custom work on oil fiter housing to make space for actuator.

 

good luck! will be worth it in the end as those turbos, 3" downpipes and GC manis will kick ass :)

looking good mate and it will be worth it im sure

Yea hopefully once i get past these problems:headvswal:headvswal

 

Cheers all:)
