Just picked the zed up and words and pictures can't show how good it looks now. Just over the moon it looks like this! Cheers Peach :)

 

Awesome Slicktop :thumbup1::thumbup1: Looks so clean and I see Peach on the forum tonight :biggrin: Well done to super polisher Peach :clap:

Very nice she looks too, look forward to seeing your car at Coventry.

Cheers guys - just the engine bay and interior to clean up and refit a new radio and should be on track for the show :) See you then!

Anytime buddy, enjoyed doing it (and driving it!). Gutted I can't come to the Cov day but may try to get to a show or two later in the year, to see if I still recognise any of you Z folk LOL :)

It's going to be an eye opener for me - i haven't been to a zed meet in years now so i'll know no-one apart from slick pete :rofl:

Good to hear from you Peach hope all is well and dont be a stranger.

Looking good!

 

I look forward to seeing another Slicky in a few weeks.

That's come out well, looks awesome mate :thumbup1:

Cheers guys :)

 

If i get chance i'll do a bit more on the engine bay tonight while the weather's good - its dusty and full of spiders at the moment :rofl: haha

 

Also need to aim the headlights when it gets dark - currently getting light about 5 foot in front of the car and no further - probably from the accident and repositioning of the lights but the MOT guys didn't pick up on it (seemed in a bit of a rush!)

Cheers guys :)

I would be interested to see how you go about setting up your lights mate, especially the projected alignments and patterns.

Pictures would be nice if possible.

I'll post some pics up later - i will of course take it down a garage later to fine tune it but at the moment it's virtually undriveable at night.

 

The video i saw was quite quick and reasonably clever (still no match for a pro garage with the right equipment) - pull the car up to a wall, mark the lightbeam centre with a cross:

Then reverse back 25 ft/about 8 metres in a straight line

 

The lights should stay the same height, if not adjust to the line then knock it down a little.

 

This should give you a good estimate of where they should be, mine currently point to the floor about 6-10ft in front of the car so i can't see a thing

 

 

P.S. i'm not saying do this instead of taking it to a garage but it should give you a rough positioning to get it through the mot with minimal adjustment.

From the FSM, low and high beam aiming adjustment:

Brilliant cheers Andrew!

Another one to add to the list :D haha

Looking good Nick.....

 

Good to hear from you Peach hope all is well and dont be a stranger.

 

.....And seconded Gaz....:thumbup:

+3 :)

I dunno, one little detailing job and a couple of posts on the forum and I feel like I've come home LOL!!

 

It's certainly nice to be remembered guys, thanks for that :)

 

Well, I have been rather busy since last owning a Z - I now have four (yes, 4!) beautiful daughters aged 7, 4, 4 (twins, obviously) and 2. They are my whole life, love them to bits :-

 

 

But I have been faithful to the JDM scene and, apart from the now necessary 7 seater MumBus, I am currently trundling about in a sweet '00 Subaru Legacy B4, hope you like :-

 

 

I feel like I'm gonna keep my eye on this place a little more nowadays, it is still the best forum I've ever been a part of (Legacy forum is DEAD!) and, even though I am not in any sort of position to own a Z any time soon, you never know what's around the next corner ;)

Yay!-how do stranger!

Ay up me duck! ;)

Ay up me duck! ;)

 

What about ye

looks awesome Nick, and great work Peach! :thumbup: :thumbup:
