Afternoon all. Had a busy few days with the Zed this week.
Had a full stainless steel exhaust system with decat done at Long Life in Basingstoke on Tuesday which I'm very happy with. Lovely noise, nice and loud. Quite amusing driving through town popping and farting.

Stickers came through today so I've also put those on, think they look pretty cool.

Also I've decided to strip my car out and head down the track slag route (when I've got some more money) Oh, and some old school JBL dice, pimpin'.

Was it the car or you "popping and farting" ????

[white.pony91]

Probably a mixture of both if I'm honest.

[lawrence-zs180]

I think the dice was the best mod... did they take long to do lol.



She is looking good though dude.. 1st on the over run in traffic must get a few heads turning.

[white.pony91]

Haha, cheers man. The dice were terrible, I was thinking of getting them put in professionally but I gave it a go myself, wasn't easy.
And yeah, I do get a few pops when I lift off in first. Happy days.

[lawrence-zs180]

hahaha nice one.
you got anything else planned?

[Mr ZS180]

Its easier if you take the front bumper off first ;)

Looking good though mate!!

[white.pony91]

hahaha nice one.

Yeah a few things. Brakes might be next as they were advised on it's MOT, probably get some Yellow Stuff pads and some nice new discs.
Coilovers are my main goal at the minute and get it nice and low, it's riding a bit high after I've taken the seats out.

[lawrence-zs180]

there's a set on ebay for 250 irrc... I'm trying to sort out some new calipers at the min because mine are pissing about sooo much there's a brembodge kit on rt but I cant do that and the manis

[white.pony91]

I saw those on ebay earlier in the week, but I believe they were for the V6, not the 120. I've heard that Civic Coupe coilovers will fit a ZS, a gentleman on the forum had some on his MK1 but I wouldn't want to buy any without being absolutely sure that they'd work on my car.

[lawrence-zs180]

ahhh though it was a 180.. sorry lol.
that was rakester I think.. would work ok on the normal k4 120 but not on the t16 he was looking at using irrc

[peterzs]

Like the stickers, do the dice work like the G force indicators in the F1 cars????

[white.pony91]

Lol yeah they do. Somehow I don't think they're quite advanced as those, but they work just as well :)

[white.pony91]

Lol I wish it was a 180! Maybe when I'm a bit older.
Might have to look into these Civic coilies then, save myself some dollar.

[lawrence-zs180]

git lol... I'm gonna have to find 500+ for mine unless I can find some good 2nd handers for 200-300 again.

[white.pony91]

There's a set of Gaz coilies on ebay at the moment for ?400. Seems like a reasonable price considering they've only done 1000 miles.

[lawrence-zs180]

mmmm shame I need to sort the manifold and brakes otherwise yea deff

[white.pony91]

Yeah I suppose man. Keep an eye out I guess, another set might pop up somewhere.

[lawrence-zs180]

sooo many mods sooo little money lol

[white.pony91]

Lol I've got exactly the same problem.
Grrr :angry:

Thanks for the free bump :thankyou:

Nice zed you have there

[lawrence-zs180]

ss mani's, 4pot brakes, steel cage the box, lsd, lightweight flywheel.. etc etc.. wheres that lotto win!!!

[white.pony91]

Haha no worries, what are the odds of that. I didn't notice your ebay name.

[Mr ZS180]

Thanks for the free bump :thankyou:

Nice zed you have there

How comes you're selling them pete?

[petet16]

I've managed to source some xpower Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks, which I think will be better for road use.

[Mr ZS180]

I keep looking on fleabay for performance springs and shocks but none ever seem to be there when I look :(

I want to lower but definitely am NOT going with the Motobodge option and cant afford coilies atm!!

[petet16]

I know what you mean re springs, it's taken me ages to find the xpower ones.

and +1 for motobodge springs, tried them last year, most unimpressed, turned a sweet handling car into a bouncy skateboard, looked tough tho lol

[p_b82]

if only i wasn't so attached to my OE wheels (and a dislike of spacers) i would have another expense for my car - that brembodge setup makes me drool... although i could get it if i got me some nice new wheels!

am thinking whether mine needs new suspension, it does seem a lot crashier recently.. but i dont want the hassle of going coilover....

[white.pony91]

I do love the look of straights on a MK1.
I really wanted some for mine, but I wasn't sure if they would suit a MK2.

[lawrence-zs180]

I think they look a touch dated on the mk2

[white.pony91]

That's what I thought. Shame though, lovely wheels.

[lawrence-zs180]

these just came out mate

The Brembodge will go under Kei force 10s without spacers, and superlegs:)

Good spot!
I'll keep my third eye on those.

[lawrence-zs180]

ohh the joys of waiting for a dessert order from a late table... means I have spare time to look out stuff lol

[white.pony91]

Haha! You're out for dinner and you're browsing the forum?

[lawrence-zs180]

lol na at my restaurant

[white.pony91]

Ahh I see. I'm guessing you either work at or own a restaurant?
I don't know these things, I'm a student. A sandwich from Tecsos is a fancy meal out.

[petet16]

Whats on the dessert menu Lawrence

[lawrence-zs180]

Head chef... I wish I owned one.
Tonight pete we have... sticky toffee pud, brownie, poached pear, choc pyramid mousse, and cheese board

[WXM Matty]

To give you an idea

[white.pony91]

Ah, thank you sir. I wish I had found that picture a few months ago before I'd bought my Team Dynamics. I think straights would look quite smart in black.

[petet16]

Hmm, tough choices there Lawrence:smile1:

[lawrence-zs180]

without bigging myself up to much the mousse looks epic lol

[petet16]

Hey not at all, if your a mousse maestro thats good:cool1:

Must say I fancy the cheese board right now, altho poached pear mmmm
