I must be mad getting another one but popped down to see scatrat on Saturday to have a look at the TT he has for sale and i'll be popping down to pay the last bit and bring it back in a couple of weeks time.

 

JJ is a top guy and it was a pleasure to meet him - hardest working guy ever it has to be said! :)

 

Cheers for the tea buddy and look forward to seeing you again when i come down to pick up the old girl in a couple of weeks.

 

Right back to the V8 again tonight and tomorrow and get it out the garage to get the rover in and give that a tidy up to move it on.....

I thought it was for a friend/relative?

It was originally but my bro being the cautious guy that he is decided not to buy a car with a problem on it already (wimp! lol)

 

So i decided i couldn't let it go for that sort of money when i had first dibs and i'm having it myself.

 

Hopefully i'll keep it but with moving house I don't know how my finances will hold up if anything needs doing.

 

I'll be sorting out the passenger side turbo straight away to get it on the road then when i've got chance i'll pull the engine for a weekend and get the second one done and tart it up a bit.

 

Plan is to get that turbo done and put a stock exhaust back on for the time being. That single exit isn't too bad but no point keeping it on if all i'm going to do is commute in it.

 

I'll probably get some nice new shiny tailpipes welded on up in sheffield through exhausts uk to tidy it up.

 

I'll strip the rear spoiler off (that's bulging a bit) and fit the boot skin that comes with it and give it a respray.

 

The interior is nice and original but i have some black leather i bought to trim the door cards in my old car sitting around so i'll get some matching jspec seats off slick pete and retrim everything.

 

The wheels look nice but i'd like to get it back to stock as much as possible so i'll get them sandblasted and painted either silver or a nice gunmetal grey to tidy them up which should sort out the slow puncture in the front.

 

I can't fault the way it drives, it's spot on really apart from the turbo. I'm going to sort out the power steering leak by swapping the pot for an NA one and replumbing underneath with some fresh pipe ( it's had a hicas eliminator bar fitted ) and generally just tidy up what's under the bonnet already.

 

Looking forward to some good old fashioned straight forward zed cleaning and tidying up work instead of all this adapting and welding stuff i've been doing lol

Two zed curse.

 

One will brake and the other one will be broken for parts :lol::lol:

Shhhhhhh don't tempt fate :smack: :rofl:

 

It's a black zed automatic just like my first one :D Can't wait to get that paint work all polished back it should look great :)

Do you need any bits :biggrin:

I've got one of your rear boot flattening panel things to fit already with the car and i can't afford to mod this one anyway because of keeping it cheap to insure although i might not be telling them about the uprated gearbox or the john dixon chip pulling 360bhp on the dyno :rofl:

360bhp on a chip?

I need one!

I think it had a little more than just a john dixon chip but that's what i've been told - i'll be interested to see how it pulls when it's working fine.

 

John's work is always very good - he set up my old NA LWB and that's still sitting on the z-club hall of fame as the fastest 2+2 NA (only .1 of a second off its own time with nitrous with the previous owner :))

Its stock one than john has, exhaust chip and filter and thats it :)
