Well all its been a while, unfortunately i have only driven my Zed once this year and that was for the Banzai mag shoot in about March. It has MOT Tax and is insured :mellow:.

 

I really need to pull my finger out my backside and do a few bits to it to get it proper sorted out so it is a more sensible drive.

 

1. Fit a new stock fuel pump (that I have) just till its run in.

2. Bleed or adjust the clutch as it bites a bit bit low

3. Sort out the Emerald stuff its doing like 3-5MPG and has a bad blank spot.

 

Then I can run it in, I love the car but just seemed to loose interest in it when I realised I could not do anything with it because of the MPG. At the moment I cant get it to any shows or meets as it is just not practicle.

 

I think I would settle for like 10+ mpg and an easier drive without the blank spot then at least I can do SOMETHING with it. At the moment its like a fully restored load of bits that just glows in my garage.

 

So today I am going to look at sorting out the fueling and maybe just spend a tenner taking it around the block. :lol:

 

Jimmer thanks once again for sorting the Engine out she is sweet as a nut and the work you did would make anyone proud :blushing:.

This is a travesty!

 

Such a fine machine should be paraded up and down the Queen's highway at every available opportunity! Surely it will be possible to get mid-teen consumption on part throttle?

 

Don't let it become a garage queen.. :no:

Will you be bringing her to Jae Martin?? I hope so, we could have a whip around on the club for some fuel money:scared:

Glad you posted.

Just looking at your project has given me a few ideas!

That is a SICK car! I WISH I had the money to do that!

If those three things are all thats stopping it from being driven, whats the problem?

 

Surely, any old grease monkey can bleed / adjust a clutch and getting the mapping sorted is only a phone call to emerald?

Yeah that is it and she is already road legal, just been a bit busy of late and lost motivation to do anything with her. I also need to change the targa rubbers if i can get some but she is a driver right now.

 

I was planning on taking her to modified madness but it got cancelled! yeah after everything that I have done to the car its just small stuff. I doubt I will take her to JAE its a long way from here and probz cost about a grand in fuel.

I'd love to see this car in the flesh..

Yay spent the day on it today, it had not been started for 4 months after I put the battery on it started straight on the key.... lovely sound.

 

Sorted the clutch adjustment out and took her for a 40 Mile drive, what a great car with the Targas off. Fuel pump on wednesday and re map I am hoping to get done in the next few weeks.

 

Put a real smile on my face today... forgot just how nice a car it was!.

This thread got me digging out the Mag it was in.

I love this car!

Know what you mean about losing motivation for the Z. I got to the stage where I could not see the point in continuing on with the work but have bit the bullet and can finally see that the end is in sight. I just keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end. I did the grand total of about 100 miles in the last year and today just renewed the road tax again. Pretty expensive to just have sitting about and not being used. I decided to spend the cash to finish the project as I would get nowhere near what I have spent if I sold it. Time is always the main constraint and organising mapping etc can be a hassle but think of the results at the end!

 

So pull your finger out and get it sorted!!!
