ive worked on a few over the years . theres a lot of work and regulations to follow . depends very much on any listings placed on the biulding regarding materials etc to be used . if at all possible the cheapest way depending upon planning permission is to knock down and rebiuld . which ever way you go , good luck and advice is only a pm away

top number plate

top number plate
i saw a zed for sale today . the fellas not a member of this club . the car looked ok but the plate is superb . m 300tt the fella said he would sell the plate seperately and £250 would clinch it . if anybody is interested pm me and i will give you the fellas number . by the way the car didnt look too bad . £1500 but i reckon he would come down on that . i reckon a cheeky bid of £1200 might get it . its a 95 with full leather and is standard . the car is in the tamworth area

new loom
im toying with the idea of buying a new loom for the zed . the alternative is to replace the coil pack connectors and injector connectors and gradually work through the others . can the loom be replaced with the engine in or will it need to be pulled . if i can do it with the engine in then the new loom is gonna be the way to go . has anyone done this as any advice will be much appreciated . cheers in advance

Front speakers
theres a few threads on here at the mo about speakers . to get your speakers in you gotta take off the door cards . if you have a bose system box in the door scrap it and make up a panel with mdf to cover the hole left . this bit comes from experience . take the front section of the bose box off and refit , drop the window and measure the gap from the front of the panel to your glass . im sure i fitted 73mm deep speakers but cant be 100% . the deeper you can fit the better . 6.5 is the best choice and are a bit shallower than 6x9,s . to be honest there are nt any plug and play options for the front as the original boxes are a strange shape and size . its well worth the 2-3 hours as the improvement is immeasureable . as for the rears 6x9,s are too deep . 6.5 are again the way to go good luck with your build . if you have any probs pm me and i,ll try to help

Rear speakers.. i want ideas of possible setups!
keep looking on ebay for a set of focal k1,s . will work superb in the back with a sub and for the front again go focal or audiobahn components . avoid entry level stuff . with focal look for polyglass . if you are sitting comfortably check out focal utopia . take a deep breath before you look at the price

Rear speakers.. i want ideas of possible setups!
6x9 are generally too deep . stick some really good quality 6.5 components in the front and some good quality 6.5 in the rear. avoid 6x9 as the sound they produce is inferior . the best ice upgrade you can do is a sub in the boot.

Speakers
ive just recently done an upgrade in the front of mine . i will post up some pics soon . your best bet for speeker size is 6.5 round but they will need a bit of modding to fit in . my best advice for front speekers are either focal or audiobahn components . the most important factor is the depth of the speeker . take off you door panel and wind your window down and measure the gap . my mod will give you an extra 20mm or so . as a rule for speekers always spend 80% of your money for the front. good luck with your build .
