I have had the odd running issue with my Zed the last couple of months - an intermittent miss-fire when cold, sticky throttle after a long fast run, and the speed sensor failed again last week after trying Jeff's old epoxy resin fix a while back.....

....So I did what we advise everyone else to do and called Jimmer.

Jim recommended the full engine loom replacement, new ethanol friendly injectors, ERG delete, new rocker cover gaskets and a plenum tart-up with new bolts etc., to improve the engine bay appearance!

So I dropped the car at Powerzed on Monday morning and Jim sent me the first progress pictures today!

And while it's there he'll be fitting a few other new parts, including the brand new OEM speed sensor I got from Japan. More pics to follow no doubt😉

Jim replaced my loom and injectors a while back….and it transformed the car!

I remember you saying so at Beaulieu a few years back - and Jim mentioned yours, so my mind was made up!!

Some more pictures from Jim - the new loom is in place and the plenum is back on......

It was all going so well - albeit I knew there had been a slight misting of fluid on top of the NSF coilover strut..... And when Jim put the Zed on the ramps to sort the new track rods ends, speed sensor etc,. that coilover gave up....!!

Luckily it happened whilst the car was still at Powerzed!! Jim recommended a set of HSD coilovers from Driftworks - I ordered them on Tuesday and they arrived yesterday, ready for him to fit.

It might be there a few more days than anticipated, but it will be coming back much better than before; in more ways than I originally expected😄

New coilovers fitted - gearbox speed sensor fitted - cam belt changed......

Whilst fitting the new track rod ends Jim spotted the steering rack bushed were toast - so he replaced these too.....

And now ready to collect tomorrow....

However I am a little concerned about the new coilovers! Jim installed them at the highest setting - but they are still very low when compared to my old Meister Rs. Speed humps could be a real issue!!!

Nice work Richard we need a Jimmer over here.

Good luck hope it’s ok.

I collected my Zed yesterday afternoon - and have to say what a great job Jim has done...

The new loom and injectors have transformed the car, the engine runs so much smoother and feels more responsive. I needn't have worried about the suspension, it looks lower in the photos than it actually is. It's still on the low side, but Jim has set everything up well - not too harsh, but it also handles just nicely. The steering wheel is dead straight, after Jim replaced the rack bushes and track rod ends and performed a laser alignment - something the usual tyre places often fail to get right.

Suffice to say, I enjoyed the 100 mile drive home - definitely well worth the trip.

Thanks Jim🤩

Very worst case you could fit slightly longer springs. As you know my was pretty low but I didn’t have problems with normal speed bumps etc. The biggest area you’re likely to have an issue is either the front of the exhaust, the Japspeed ones hang down a bit too much and the arch liners. You can modify them to stop the scraping though and it’s mostly a wheel fitment issue.
