Hi guys

I have the car back now and have been driving it around now for the last two weeks!

All I can say is that it has been transformed! The Gripper is worth every penny and then some!

And the lightweight flywheel is a really great mod!

I have put an extensive write up on my site ultimatezs.co.uk if you want to read more!

I potentially have some very exciting developments coming in the new year!

Regards

Ollie

Some nice bits there. I had a gripper LSD before but found it was pretty violent used to snatch a lot if you booted it with one hand on the wheel.

But awesome grip and pulls you to the apex when accelerating on a corner.

I'm going over to read that now as I quite fancy one myself for the touring car

Just read it and safe to say I will be getting both those parts ordered for mine at the first oppertunity. Fantastic write up there that answered alot of my questions on both subjects

Hi everyone!

A quick update, I've semi stripped the car, rear seats, rear seatbelts, boot linings in preparation for eventually a full weld in roll cage - more on this in the future!

After this I weighed my car on the same weighbridge I've always used and resulted in ..... 1140 KG! I was very impressed, same fuel level and fluids etc as every other time.

My car is on the rolling road tomorrow (Sat 26th) so am looking forwards to see what Ultimatezs is putting out!

One last thing.......... a sneak preview!

Be interesting to see the RR results, we are having one at Fareham 9th of February 2013.

Good to see someone putting so much effort into the ZS.

How did it get on today ollie???

Hi sneekyparrot, regarding r arb I'm not 100% sure atm, last time I looked it woyld have been Eibach.

Dave, on the rollers my car made 198bhp and 179lb/ft. I was initially a little disapointed, but was advised if I got the car remapped I could see another 20bhp as the fueling at the top end could be improved.
comparing this newest graph to my old completely standard graph from the same place I have gained everywhere with a very strong torque curve and very good power at the wheels throughout, I wonder if the lightened flywheel helps in this respect?
Off to Reidys asap lol!
