Well peeps about time for an update i guess!
So:
Suspension:
Well i fitted up the SPAX RSX to the zed, wasn't too much agro, took a couple of decent weekends amongst snow (ggrr) but its all sorted now, not dropped it much lower than standard but just enough
Brakes:
My ZS shell was brake-less when i bought it, decided to use 620ti calipers and brakes just to be different and see if they were ANY different to the ZS ones. Got some standard vented ZS disks all round, all new pads too.
Had to machine the 620ti brake caliper carriers to fit around the larger ZS disks, but wasn't to hard and they fit perfectly! Standard brake calipers on the rear.
Of course i gave them a lick of red paint and hey presto all done!
They strangely look larger than my standard ZS brakes...not sure if its just an illusion or whether they actually are!
To top it off i equipped it with goodridge braided lines.
Interior:
Well after a little hunting i finally found some red corbeau bucket seats to fit in place of my brand new standard ZS seats, had to build a subframe to fit them but they are slowly coming along! I'll take some pictures when they are fitted and you can let me know what you think.
Engine: (fun bit!) (pics to follow)
The engine went for a rebore and facing, its now officially a 2.1 t-series, had it matched to my 86mm Arias pistons. Obviously pistons, rods and bearings have all arrived so im just waiting for the head, gasket kit, clutch and gearbox bearings before it gets fully re-built and dropped into my zed!
Notes:
Had to buy an alloy 220 coupe rad (not cheap!) to suit my intercooler which takes the best possible route over the rad from the turbo then straight into the T/B.
I'll take loads more photos at the weekend, much more interesting to look at!
peace out!
