What did you do to your zed today?
So today ........I have mainly been fitting my replacement bonnet including drilling holes in it for the bonnet pins:scared: I have also fitted some tinted side repeaters that I got recently from Ian Greenfield. Final job was to clean front wheels as they were full of track day brake dust crap. Virtually ready for Coventry I think.:biggrin:

What did you do to your zed today?
My carbon fibre bonnet needs a lot of TLC . As a quick fix I have sprayed a spare ally one . Just got to fit it before bringing the car to Coventry on Sunday. Its far from perfect but its all one colour. The reat of the car is far from perfect too so it all matches.:whistling:

DIY Respray advice
Eh??? WTF are you on about??? Its not mustard gas in the paint????:lol:

DIY Respray advice
Do not paint outside in the evening. As soon as the sun sets the air temperature drops. The drop in air temperature means that the air cant hold the same amount of moisture so the moisture then condenses out on any surface it can find. Metal is perfect. You wont see it happening but it happens.Look outside early in the morning and you will see "dew" on the grass. Same thing just more extreme.. This is one of the causes of "micro blistering" which happens a few weeks/months after a paint job in the wrong conditions. Where did you get the idea that cellulose is moderately easy to work with?? Modern paints are much much easier to use. Cellulose "cheap". ??? Really???. it may be cheaper per litre to buy but you will need gallons more of it cos it has poor coverage. Whatever paint you use will give you issues with fumes....its the thinners not the paint that are the culprit. Cellulose worse than synthetic cos you need to use more thinners. All your primer needs to be done in one session ideally.. All the basecoat and laquer needs to be done in one day ideally. All of course IMHO I'll get my coat................

Rear Suspension set up (Camber arms specially).
Is this a road car?? If so then -1.35 is at the top end of the Specified range That is plenty on a road going car and still works well on track. Im running very close to that figure on my track focused road car. Any more negative camber and you will simply wear tyres unevenly and lose contact patch area leading to premature loss of traction. All IMHO of course!

Tracking & wheel aligmnet?
i would think the settings will be OK for the "family estate"!!:lol: I think my settings are just on the outer edge of stock?? I could really do with a touch more negative camber on the LH side as that one gets chunked on track. Multi link suspension doesnt need much negative camber, especially on road cars.

Tracking & wheel aligmnet?
IMO you just need someone with a Hunter Hawkeye set up who is properly trained to use it. My settings are..... Front 1.39 camber -ve. 9 deg of castor. 0.02 toe Rear. 1.3 -ve camber o.15 toe
