I've had my ZS for a few weeks now and have already been tinkering with it. The paint was not in the best condition, badly swirled as if it has been polished with steel wool and clearly been left stood with bird crap on it in the past. I've managed to improve matters a lot with a mechanical polisher and some expensive wax. Looks much better, especially once a couple of foot away:
The plans for the car are to strip out any unnecessary interior parts, add bucket seats and harnesses, fit some coil overs, decat, put some decent tyres on and a few other bits and bobs and then get it on some track days.
Here is what I've done so far...
Seats ready to go in, complete with co-driver:
Most of the interior gone and first seat in:
Not my favourite bit of the car tbh....want to replace with standard rear lights:
Post polish & wax shininess:
Both seats in, rear door plastic off, fingers covered in gunk that sticks it I'm. Grrrr:
Sparco 3 point harnesses in:
Quite happy with how it's going so far. I've discovered that the VIS power motor is broken although if it weren't for the indications I wouldn't have known. No kick at 3k rpm but seems to open up nicely at 4.5k.
Feels a hell of a lot more lively now. The seats are much better in terms of lateral hold and height than the standard nice but aren't so comfortable. The harnesses are also not all that comfy but between them and the seats they keep me rooted to the spot! Makes it much easier to drive the car hard.
First track day should be taking place in October providing it passes its MOT. Better get those resistors in place to turn out the air bag lights.
That's probably why the seats are digging in a bit!
