Nice to meet you today Dan when you collected the ZS hope you got back ok, It still has the Exhaust and the sheddist kit but Marty had removed the induction kit and returned it to standard, he had also removed the coil overs from the rear and the front ones were knocking so they have also been removed and we refitted the standard shockers Marty had supplied.

Like-wise Alan, and your car in the flesh looks good on those Alloys. Also got the TF wheel still on there ... Red and Black, matching the interior trim which is in good nick.

Got back safe and sound mate thank you .... The car drove really well. Held a straight line without pulling anywhere, wheel dead centre, picked up really nicely and sounded really good too even without an induction kit on . CD player was fine, although there appears only to be rear speakers and I'll have to connect up the aerial ... ? Maybe there was another connection I didn't see, so I'll have a play around over the weekend.

Tell you what though ... having the bonnett raised up slightly at the windscreen end, made me double my braking distance. I reckon in a head on it'd take my head off !!! That's going to be the first thing to get sorted out. I'd also forgotten how loud and bumpy the ride is compared the the ZT-T. and .... how brutally quick !!!!

All in all ... Really happy. True bargain has been had.

Just for you Adam .... £1315. (Belts just done)
