Cheers bud, yeah it does give you a good feeling to know you completed what you set out to do

All looking good, trouble is I cant see you sitting back and not doing anything!!

Coilovers, did I see on the list??

Sure it will be a first class job, if the catch tank is anything to go by.

Thanks for the top compliments Peter, all apreciated ;0).
Yeah have wanted coilovers for a while now & have finally found a set that I hopefully will be getting if all works out ok, just wanted to speak to others first who have fitted them to find out more about any possible usage issues and how low people have gone before running into problems.
Want them for both looks & performance really although I think primarily looks as the ZS handles superbly out of the box imo.

Also want a decat & cams then should be where I want it for now..

The wish list continues lol

i am a little bit of an amateur at modifying cars what does a catchtank do? it does look very nice with the new pipe work

It catches oil before it goes into the plenum.

Have a read through here:-

explains what they do.

I won't re post peters link but it is all to help prolong the life of the manifold (don't think it's honestly been proven either way if it does or doesn't truly help) but for the sake of a few £'s if it does long term stop me from having to buy a £500 odd pound new manifold or try to find a decent 2nd hand one then I'm all for giving it a go.

I still in honesty don't grasp the full ins & outs of what goes on but the manifold replacement prospect is enough for me to give this a shot

It's all good fun.!

Also thanks for the compliments, trying to keep it as clean / matching as I can lol

I think it would benefit most engines but the v6 does seem to have a particular weak point here. Lots of turbo's & performance cars run catch tanks so must be something behind it all.
