Right, I've got a pretty standard 40K miles UK TT in red with leather. It's in great condition but never been touched (original exhaust, shockers, everything really). I've added a poly bush kit, new calipers, discs and a decent piece of ICE. It's been dealer maintained from new and has had 14 oil changes!. Even the gearbox oil is bright pink!.

 

Now if you wanted to spend 10K on it to make it one of the best, where would you go, what mods would you do and how much would it cost?.

 

Teaser??.

Full genuine Strosek wide arch.

Bigger brakes, £2000 suspension, the rest on engine tuning.

The same.

A standard UK model with 40k miles and in very good condition is rare, if it was me I would buy another Zed to mod, I think the model you have is going to be the first to appreciate in value and by the greatest amount.

£10K? Well, I've spent almost that since I've bought the thing and only had it 18 months! LOL

 

Erm, most likely keep it looking pretty much as it is. Set of 19" HRE 540Rs, full leather retrim with a custom ICE instal and some rather large Brembos all round. Plus the full suspension rebuild that I'm planning on doing this side of the summer.

as for body work there is but the one way ;) the strosek wide arch way :bow:

I'd probably keep it standard and build a trackday car with the 10k

£10k? Buy a daily run around and keep the rest for when it breaks :D

Sell your zed for 4k and put 12k towards a low mileage RX8, and buy a perfectly good zed for 2k.

Now if you wanted to spend 10K on it to make it one of the best, where would you go, what mods would you do and how much would it cost?.

 

Teaser??.

 

spend it on mine bud :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:shock: I did see a programme once where a guy had spent about 60K on a white one. Anyone ever seen that one??.

Yeah Andy Elephant (Elephant wasn't his real name but it was similar lol). Was all done by SE. Was on the Top Gear GTI series presented by Steve Berry IIRC :)

Some memory on you mate :bow:

Buy mine instead :D

Buy mine instead :D

Thanks a lot BBC - remind me sometime why I pay my license fee :rant:

Tw4tting BBC I hate the fookers. Does anyone actually watch ANY of the shite they put on. About time you were allowed to be licence free if you don't watch the crap :rant: :xxx:

They'll be making us buy a seperate license to record programs next, then a license to watch video on the net... :rant:

i'll have spent 10k on mine the way i'm going and it will still be pretty standard! :x: PERFECT though! :)

full rebuild and rest on suspension,cooling and turbo replacements,

finish body work (front bumper), then suspension, brakes, engine build (about 450bhp) then hopefully a bit of ice and a nice interior
