Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

Installed rear engine skin

 

Cool engine bay! is that a Tokyo Auto strut brace?? Did you get the engine skin off Luke or who??

Abflug strut brace. Got engine bay skin from Chris. He's a trader. But Luke does the same

Tinted my windows...

 

 

 

You'll be asked by Mr Plod to remove those window tints once you're back in England I'm afraid.

Don't think so. Front windows looks dark fron the front but when you look from the back they are light. It's only 5% tint

 

You'll be fine mate the law allows a 30% tint on front side windows

I was going to say that you can see the interior through them so you should be grand:thumbup1:

How much does Chris sell the skins for??

I wouldn't stick a tint on any of my front windows, but I don't understand the logic. They don't have any regulation on the tint of the driver's sunglasses!

I guess that's cos you can take your sunglasses off at night. Johnny bored cop would like pull you over for driving at night with your shades on. Esp if he can give you a friendly drivers awareness corse.

It is illegal to have any form of tint film on the side windows. I actually disagree with this law, but that's the law.

No it's not si, as said upto 30% the front screen must not be tinted though. A lot of cars cone with factory tinted sides.

Today I am mostly fitting HID'S

I fitted my oem rears since one tire failed horrible at a track event.

I almost think they look better than the 17's so I thinking about swapping the fronts too...

 

But. Looking at the info on the sidewall, these said "retreaded made in England". Who puts retreads on a sportscar? Cheap *******...

I'll be grannydriving 'till I get some new wheels then ?

Ha! I had to re-read your last comment as I thought it said something totally different, thought you were going to pimp yourself out to granny's to get the funds for your new tyres!!:laugh::laugh::biggrin::lol:

I would probably end up in minus doing that too :-D

Ha!! Love it!:laugh:

The problem is many manufacturers tint in the glass is at 30% so adding any film may well put it overthe limit.

thats possible on a random stop.

More worrying is a check be an insurance assesor after even an accident looking for any way out of a claim as the car is illegal and hence the insurance is null and void.

Today was very satisfying. New gear knob fitted, didn't glue it to the boot as it could do with a new one in light of the new knob.

 

 

Timing belt inspected - looks good. Documentation suggests the car had its 100k service some time after 2011, but I might give it another next year to be safe.

 

 

Thoroughly washed and waxed, then tucked into its new cover! Halfords Advanced (Large) is a very tight fit on a LWB with spoiler.

 

Nice work Jay:thumbup1:

Better to be safe than sorry mate. My belt looked fine, the engine had had a recent belt change. The tensioner pulley however was DEAD seal failed, grease leaked, noisey dry bearing.

Joel your zed is an absolutely beautiful example mate..............!!

 

Agreed - it's looking mighty fine matey!!

 

Richard:bow:

Yes they are Titanium, got them off Dave Aruuba Govard on Facebook. they are available from Z1 & CPZ although Z1 seem to be the cheaper of the two.

You must be on countdown now D-Day minus 4.
