From timing is everything, update post with advances

[petet16]

Good effort, you've put plenty of work in there.

[Maxfly]

Good work already, what exactly was wrong with it? I actually like the decals on the doors too. :)

[peterzs]

Looking good, hope it all fires up OK.


:bow::bow::bow:

[MG ZS STE]

Looks nice, agree with gary the stripes on the doors look like they're supposed to be there. Will be a good addition to a an already nice fleet of cars your building up there. Well done.

[luigiZS]

thank you very much, the previous owner did not change distribution and broke the strap is not very careful, have enough things to fix, fortunately has fallen into good hands and will Have the treatment it deserves :thumbsup:

p.d sorry if I do not answer any questions or if my answers are not understood, my English is not good :sad:

[Maxfly]

Tbh your English is on par with mine lol

I reckons that by what your saying the timing belt went and valves ended up bent, resulting in broken engine??

[andys1981]

youve been busy with this new zs,the stripes kinda reminded me of the vauxhall calibres,i like it,like the red/black theme

[luigiZS]

yes broken engine

will have a color change :-D

[Dan1971]

Blanco ..... :clap2:

[andys1981]

also noticed that you have a yellow battery,these used to be well expensive as there jelly batterys,should have no starting problems with that installed

[daytona365]

Blanco ..... :clap2:

Great idea soundproofing the lot! Wish I had the space to take mine to pieces like that!

Good time to seal any areas that may leak!
Unless you get no rain where you are

[p_b82]

Very nice project - good to see another diesel getting some love and attention :)

Pete Re the intercooler it is not that difficult a job - There was and probably still is a very good how to on .org.... I probably have it in word format some-where still....

[peterzs]

Thanks Pete, I'm leaving my one standard. ;-) But if I ever had a front end smash, would be a great mod.

That's a very tidy job, brings the sensors up to date :)

[petet16]

That's a neat install, much cleaner looking than the original ones.

[daytona365]

Looking good............

I really like the sensors, barely noticeable. Nice !

Nice work on those! Was looking into some myself but couldn't find any suitable that wouldn't catch with the bumper support bar.

[petet16]

I think Ritchy used a set off a Renault Avantime, and might have had to do some work on the crash bar.

[luigiZS]

There is enough space it is not necessary to modify the bar

Great idea on the seats! love the build so far

[ZSZRANDRF900]

Luigi, did you consider a UK Driver's seat ? you could have Lumber adjustment for you and the Mrs Luigi's Back ?

[Jason04r]

Luigi, did you consider a UK Driver's seat ? you could have Lumber adjustment for you and the Mrs Luigi's Back ?

Wouldn't the air bags be in the wrong place then?

[MG ZS STE]

Eh? It would be in the same position it was in the RHD car.

[petet16]

Wouldn't the air bags be in the wrong place then?


Well spotted, you've passed that test, lol

[Skillen]

Well spotted, you've passed that test, lol

Not if the uk drivers seat is put into the LHD passengers side it would be fine.

[petet16]

Not if the uk drivers seat is put into the LHD passengers side it would be fine.

Well done, you also passed my observation test lol

[Djules]

Both my front seats are drivers version, but the missus (or any passenger) never uses the lamber or height adjustment. .. :(

[Skillen]

Nice to know you have it though!
Love to get RHD and LHD ZT electric drivers seats and mod them to the zs!

[talkingcars]

I did consider the same when there was a 45 conny in the local scrappy with the height and lumber on the passanger seat but it was crushed by the time I got back.

I then looked at transfering the parts from a spare drivers seat but it wasn't worth the effort. Rimmers did have the spares for fitting to a lefthand drive seat but again CBA.

[talkingcars]

There is the odd time where one is a passanger.

[luigiZS]

I agree with matt Djules not use height adjustment and lumbar

They are mirrors of zs modified engines Renault laguna

Interesting ! What kind of work does it needs ?

If you need it I have more informations about the electrical part.

It seems we are in the same boat! I even got shouted at earlier, all I was doing was trying to align the front bumper a bit more cleanly! I had just finished work and not really seen the kids though, so I guess she had a point.....

Seriously though, if you haven't already done so, would you add a 'How To' thread for these items? I think there would be a few of the forum members that would use it, myself included.... Any list of parts would help too, as I can never see the parts used when I scroll back through the threads lol.

Nice work though :)

Saw that on faceache, nice work.

Good work. I'm interested to see how it looks with the fog/HRW/lock switches fitted. I thought about relocating them on my console build, but because they're curved to suit the top of the panel, I left them.

How are you powering the tablet and feeding the audio?

All good stuff, well beyond me, I'm afraid.

But well done.

Opened facebook on the phone while waiting for Mrs TCs train to come in and this post came up so I glanced at my console to what had changed.

I notice you have deleted the opening for the interior tempreture sensor for the air con.
