Been spending quite a bit of cash on the zeds over the last few weeks

 

So, for the blue car, I've bought some new UK clocks which gets rid of the EL type ones that were/are in it. Think I'll have to fit some chrome speedo rings... got a set lying around somewhere.

 

 

I've also bought another Veilside evolution exhaust system for the blue one... Will probably end up sitting unfitted in the garage like.

 

 

For the black zed, I'm waiting on delivery of the Stillen type III lip from mjp.

 

Also bought some nice (but expensive) suspension parts.

I got:

- Z1 FUCA's (street version)

- SPL pro titanium RUCA's

- SPL pro titanium tension rods

- Driftworks HICAS eliminator kit

Nice to see you making progress with your zeds Lee, going to be a stunner the blue one, when youve done :thumbup:

To be honest, with the blue on, I just need to actually do stuff on it. It's the wiring but that's putting me off.

Well this was fun haha

What was fun?

A few regular posters have disappeared over the last few years. Weather isn't exactly zed friendly atm either, spring is a bit late this year.

Yup, we had snow here yesterday

We've had it down here as well, it's not settled but still, we don't get snow this far down normally.

Lee........

How much that little lot set you back Lee?? I've heard good things about the Z1 FUCA's, is this the best setup for a comfortable ride??

Ohh and he just buys another veilside evo exhaust ehhh WTF.

Like pulling a unicorn outa your ass. Not jealous though???

Didn't you know that Lee has a bat cave full of them...... lol

Nice looking parts Bird. Can I ask why you chose the particular parts you did, as oppossed to say, buying the full driftworks kit?

In regards to the choice, if I'm completely honest, I was really unsure what to get. The general opinion on the Z1 FUCA's was very positive, the likes of funky si rave about them and I respect his opinion on this kind of thing given how tip top he keeps his Z (likewise with some other people's opinions).

 

The SPL parts were chosen as they seem to be the best you can get, or at least that's what several people thought, reports said and CZP also believe. Only problem is, they're also about the most expensive you can find too.

 

The driftworks stuff has very mixed reviews / opinions to be honest so I decided to steer clear apart from the total hicas eliminator kit as this seems pretty good and the hydraulic pipes and that under the car were bust, so I need to lock the wheels.

 

I'm only really doing this to straighten the wheels slightly (debated on shims too) from the car being lowered ever so slightly. This followed on from this thread where I'm wanting my car to look as best as it can. The suspension / getting the wheels sitting In a nice stance was the last thing on the list apart from tidying the interior which I'm waiting for Mondo to fit in.

What makes you think I only have 1 spare one???

The suspension bit will have been around £1k somewhere mate.

As for the ride, if I'm honest, I don't know yet as none of it's fitted. I currently have Meister R Zeta S coilovers which are canny enough but I think the pre-tension or whatever it's called might be set wrong on the back - Seems a little too solid on speed bumps.

 

I think the Z1 FUCA's will give a great ride but I doubt the other bits will but CZP seemed to think they'll not make the ride harsh or crashy

I think... You're onto something

I'm sure if you had a spare you would let me join the gang..........:wink::innocent:

To be honest, it'd depend how much money u had lol
