been playing with my zed today, my thoughts were its going to the scrap man anyway, might as well try a few things id have never done to it whilst it was whole. and well im set on keeping it now, im just going to tone down the engine rebuild a bit.

 

kinda inspired by slick petes efforts, but i want to make a road legal track day car out of it, so i cant be quite so extreme, and unfortunately its a LWB Targa to start with. my mate has measured it up for a roll cage, and our engineering shop are playing with an old set of roofs to see if they can fabricate a metal targa.

 

well wondering what else can be removed and keep the zed road legal?

 

i've removed the seats, all interior panels, all the seatbelts apart from the drivers side. removed all the central locking, no carpet, or lining.

 

took out the dash and removed all the ducts and the heater units,

 

fixed all the dodgy wiring with the dash out, literally removed 4 meters of unused wire ??? no idea what someone had been trying to do...

 

 

 

fitted a racing seat from my old s13 and stated to fit the s13's hydraulic handbrake, but just want to know if im plumbing it right?

 

Why a hydlaulic hand brake for track days that's more a drift thing and no heater on a road car in this weather .

sorry drift/ track days, really miss taking my s13 drifting. had more fun in that thing then any thing else i've ever driven, and want to get the zed just as playful.

 

when i had my s13, the hand brake was also great for sprint racing. and the zeds i've owned the OE handbrake could never seem to lock the rear wheels enough to do the tight turns. always made me look stupid when the other cars in the club flew round and my zed bogged down...

 

and most track/ shows etc are in the summer season,

 

its not a daily drive any more, and it was goint to get scrapped, so why not not have some fun with it. .... (pausing before volleys of insults) :wink:
