Well it been 6 months since I purchased the £500 bargain Zed and I put it in the garage to do some bits, well since its the new year I thought that i would get my arse in gear.

 

My Zed

 

 

Removed old spongy spoiler

 

To be replaced by this lower lip spoiler which will blend in.

 

Demon wide arse sorry arch rear bumper

Well she is home and was great to drive her. She is covered up until weather gets better to finish although not much needed now.

Nice work John bet you are well happy with it, have you decided on a colour?

Sorry Baz didn't see your reply. Keeping her silver mate hopefully going in March to be found finished

Right time to move on need the following.......

 

99 Spec indicators

Splitters for front and sides

1 Bolts which fits the filler cap

Interior, with door cards which host seat belts.

Anyone want to do a deal on my mongoose for a Japspeed?

Poss discs and brakes and suspension (Not urgent)

 

Most of all i am still unsure on the rear bumper. I want to keep it subtle but really am unsure also would you think a spoiler would go with it?

I have a spare spoiler, you're welcome to take it for a test fit on yours mate

Looks bloody big that but will try pal

Id prob charge a bit more for delivery.

 

All ill say is dont do it man. You'll regret it. (unless you have to of course)

Im 95% sure i wont do it the only reason I have is that there is talk of cuts next month and given i have just bought a house i need to think of family 1st.

 

Im sure it wont come to it but have to have a plan B. A couple of members are aware of the scenario i am in.

I knew I'd seen this car somewhere. Going to be such a nice looking car too once it's done. :(

& he is desperate to buy a Liverpool season ticket for next season so needs the cash ;-)

Not funny Tom a Devil throughout:biggrin:

My word, this thread has changed direction rapidly [emoji17] I hope you pull through this situation, without using your plan B dude and that we can get this thread back on a positive track.

Well decided I am definitely not going to get rid. On the auction I put a high reserve as it was to put the feelers out just in case. I'm going to dig deep and keep.

 

So in previous posts if anyone has any of the parts let me know. Also what's the deal with getting these converted to a manual cost wise and a twin turbo Engine be put in.

 

God I needed that wake up call.

Decided to start the passion wagon today and noticed a couple of things which I didn't before. Well firstly I noticed the smell of oil and there appears to be a very slight drop onto the exhaust (pic below) also what are these two pipes? Should they be like this or is it something to do with the matrix as also I noticed the drivers side carpet to be damp. Not mechanically minded so no sarcasm. On a plus note they car will be going to be sprayed in the Easter holidays oh I've been dreaming of that day.

Hope the responses don't mean doom and gloom

It looks like your heater matrix has been bypassed some time ago. The two open pipes go to the matrix.

Woah, thought that looked like a straighter car than that.

So what does that mean in simpler terms. Why would they by pass it?

Please tell me it isn't serious

The heater matrix can fail and leak onto the carpets in the cabin. It's behind the dash and is quite a job to replace ( unless you're a magician like jeffTT) so the quickest way to stop the leak is to bypass the matrix with a pipe between the two points on the engine (sacrificing the heater). I've got a full manual conversion coming out soon if you wanted to go that route mate.

I've got a spare set of new SFS heater matrix hoses which you can have as you're giving me those lights.

Cheers guys haven't the foggiest but if you don't mind cheers.
