few new parts to fit in the next week or so; Starting off with new water pipes machines from aluminum. Then new linkage for the throttle bodies as the crumbled when i took them to bits. Lastly we have a new engine wiring and starter loom. Slight upgrade on the loom as this one was custom made and has extra connections for sensors and after market solenoids so they can be picked up by my Link G4.

My zed spent its first night outside last night as i'm doing a bit of a refurb on my garage space. Fitting a new workbench made from solid oak, so to make room she was pushed out onto the stones.

Should be dropping my engine in within the next few weeks so i'm fairly confident to get mine running soon, All i'm waiting for is the plenum and water pipes to be polished again. Plenty of time to know for sure so i'd like to put mine forward to be on the stand.

Easiest way i guess would be to install an after market alarm that has an actuator, with the most common type being a toad Ai606. Fitted a toad to ever zed i have owned so far but they are also now discontinued.

Hi, For some reason there was 2 subscriptions on your account, i have cancelled the other and manually set expiry of it to next year.

I think i have a new set of these, same price if you want them.

That's sick, should have put up a warning first. lol Road Kill☠️

Coming together now. Just a few bits to get polished.

Managed to find a guy in Glasgow who's going to do it all for me, drop it off to him in a weeks time. So back to twiddling my thumbs while we wait, could be another few weeks now. On the other side of the country concept are prepping a new order of a few things i'm missing.

Sure this guy is just a steel work fabricator - but i have emailed him to check. Thanks

About to give up zed life over a bloody plenum. This is so frustrating, burned through £40 of various polishing wheels and sand paper. All the scratches are near enough gone but its a dull grey with loads or dark clouds all over it.

I've managed to get the main parts smooth enough i'm thinking of just getting these powder coated.

I hate polishing, manages to get these more or less smooth with a air sander and polishing kit but can't get them anywhere near shiny. No way in hell am i attempting the plenum.

I was going to powder coat mine but how would you do the throttle bodies?

My plenum was previously polished, and has very badly tarnished, tried to give it a clean but it still looks terrible. Its the only part i'm not good with and was looking for a company to do it for me.

Plenum looks spotless, was that sprayed silver or was it shot blasted to clean it up ?

Also cleaned this pipe up which connects as the back of the engine. Stripped back to a bare finish and just need to give it a protective painting now.

Time to clean up my front water pipes, they were previously polished but had 5 years of tarnish and gunk on them. So i sanded them down as a first stage and plan to get the polished again shortly.

Still a work in progress but its the furthest its been from my garage in a few years nearly.

I've got as far as putting them in two separate containers so they don't get mixed up.🤪

New fuel hose arrived so time to get the fuel rail assembled again. New Nismo 740's and new caps to keep them from moving.

Why are throttle bodies overly complicated?

I was thinking this, but what would you do with the throttle bodies ? Can they be completely dismantled including the plastics.

Need my plenum and front water pipes redone as they have glazed over in the last 5 years. Now that my engine is done i need these fixed up quickly.

Little cleanup of the fuel rail ready for fitting tomorrow.
