In money?? i couldnt say an estimated guess about £7k and me and my dad have done all the work ourselves so no labour costs are in there. You cant take it with you so why not spend it on your zed :dance: Might seem alot of money but when i drove it for the first time a few hours ago it was all worth it :duffer: Must say some thank you's to Macca - Pipes & Induction Stuey0604 - Pipes and help Jonnyz32 - Too many things to mention!! Chris&getgreddy - Again too many things to mention!! and most of all my dad....aaaahhh you all say but he did most of the work for free so couldnt have done it without him and he's got to do it again when i fir my turbos!! but i will leave that for a while before i tell him :p Very Happy Kirbz

intercoolers
I have the HKS front mount one, i think you can get it for about £1500 now and its a great intercooler, you can get cheaper front mounts i think z1 do one for about $1000 The hard pipe kit is only about 1 foot or so longer than the standard ones so i dont think it makes too much difference Kirbz

Was the ref a total w@nker?
Too upset to say anything else

What could it be???????????
Also check the pipes on the back of the plenum, thats where i got a leak, just a case of putting a new one on and yes you will lose some skin putting them back on ;)

Well the time had come everything connected..well almost so we started her up :confused: No probs started first time..bit loud as my back boxes were off but ran forst time bit rough but i expected that as i didnt have an air filter on the only problem was we have a water leak at the back of the plenum so may have to take the plenum off but hopefully can get to it but dead chuffed she started. Just need an MOT now ;) Mike

when you drag the tracks accross from the window on the right (mp3s) it should convert them when you drag them to the copying window on the left?? try looking in the settings Mike

You certainly save alot of money but i'm not looking forward to dropping the engine again in a few months...just the thought give me a sweat :) Its not easy and you dont get the guarantees that you would from a decent garage but then again you have the satisfaction of doing it yourself :duffer: So the next post will hopefully be on wednesday when i will be starting it up and fingers crossed it will go ok Mike

Oil Cooler
Believe me its so easy you could do it. Of the top of my head theres a bracket holding it on which you undo and two pipes which feed into it undo them swp it over and put them back on. Jobs a goodun
