Top build mate, how are you finding the build? You said its your first 1. This thread is inspiring me to maybe not scrap mine and do something similar just maybe not so high spec LOL.

what dedication, i bow down.

Its not about money, any body can get a wad of cash and throw it at a car ?

 

Its about personal time, and commitment !!

 

You my friend, have sacrificed both !!

 

Please keep the pics coming, its threads like this that keep the dream alive !!

 

Thank you for sharing !

 

 

 

Alan.........

I agree its taken alot out of me as im no expert and i wished i started a smaller project before say a Fiesta so i sort of new what im getting in to. If you have alot of spare time go for it mate. Depending how far you want to go just be prepared to end up doing and paying out more than you expected because once you get the bug you will get carried away like me.

 

Thanks for all your kind comments ive got newer pics to update with but sorting though about 1500+ photos is a pain but ill keep an update now ive spent the day organising most of the pics in to folders on my computor.

There has been many times that ive nearly gave up on the car because of the problems i was coming across. Even a few members on the site offered to come help me. Shows you the true sprit of the Zed family.

 

All i say is dont give up :)

 

Now ive managed to save a bit of cash and buy most of the parts i need to carry on with the build im going to give it another crack and maybe call on the SOS team again

I am miles away mate, but owt I can assist you with, please let me know.

Even if its only to pick a part up and make sure it gets there, just holler !

 

Alan.....

Great thanks any help is always welcome the same goes for you guys :)

 

I live i Basildon so not far from Romford at all in fact im in Romford tomorrow night as my mate is having a new years party

Just an update of some of the bits going on with Ted. Well what ive got pics of anyway...

 

Fitted enlarged Z1 throttle bodies. Had to port the plenum to match the bigger butterfly and fiddle with the linkage to get them to work.

 

Custom made 65mm dia turbo inlet pipes either side as the stock pipe was the wrong shape and alot smaller dia.

 

Quite alot of messing about with this down pipe has had to be done to get it right. Pulling the engine in and out countless times was never fun.

This is the result 2nd time round. The pipe had to be adapted so it didnt touch the steering coloum (as pic) Hopefully this is the last time and alot less restrictive than the first attempt.

First attempt was way to restrictive.

Latest.

One of many Hicas lockout systems ive bought lol. This one is by far the best out of them all SPL are expensive but hope its worth it.

I had the stock viscous diff binned and rebuilt with a Quaife ATB diff new crown and pinion etc also fitted with 3.10 ratio leader gears instead of stock 3.69 ratio.

Painted to match the rest of the running gear..

Gearbox finally fitted..

 

Seat fitted too but the interior is not 100% finished yet ill update you when the new parts arrive.

 

Some more Carbon.. Saving quite abit of weight off the standard hatch. Just got to get round to fitting the hatch and window.

not my car..

Also the guy i bought the hatch from was nice enough to give me a custom made carbon petrol flap.

Top guy :D

A few random pics of the suspension and fuel lines under the car.

can i ask where did u route and mount the pipes and oil cooler ..

as i'm just doing mine now ?

I ran them down the drivers side of the engine. Cable tied them together and fixed the to the chassis rail. Its tight but the pipes are rigid and wont be moving anywhere.

 

The cooler i made a custom mount that sits between the rad and FMIC thats the only space possible for my build. I will be running ducting in to the location as well

Edited February 23, 201213 yr by GIBSTER-TT

all most the same as me then

i routed pipes from adapter over the subframe/steering rack just under the alt and mounted the filter on

the side between sub frame and anti-r bar .. then through the front between rad/pipes

the only problem i have is to much pipe

Epic bulid mate. looks super clean, very very nice :)

Nice clean and shiney build:bow:great respect mate.

Good to see you still chipping away matey :-)

looks outstanding well done

Wheres all the old pictures gone?

Very very very nice mate....

 

I bet that CF hatch set you back a fair bit LOL.
