haha yeah as above really.

The track night that was my deadline has been binned, so I've got a bit more time to get it perfect... but it WILL be running in the not to distant future.

Struggling to find the time to work on it just now as there have been a few issues with both the house and the other members of the road going fleet that needed attention first. Hopefully I'll have a bit more time to spend on it now

that was my understanding of the problem too... better be as I've already had the bush and tube turned down 10mm and I'm about to have the arms milled!

I might look into this in the future, but at the moment it's just a toy so I'm not too worried

The Skunk ones won't be hard to fix, there's a bloke on RT offering to do them for about £25 a time if you can't do it yourself

if you havnt got the coilovers yet, then ask for a 50mm rear lower shock mount. i have to assume that they will be able to, as the rears on the ZS are the same style as the honda's.

i bought the 40mm lower arms thinking i could add spacers if need be, then ordered my gaz asking for a 40mm lower mount. they didnt have a problem, im guessing thats because they are std zs size.

Time for another big update




















So that's the engine pipe work 90% finished (just a fuel pipe and coolant pipe to make up) and I've been in talks with Sitech about getting it mapped and set up in the near future.

Looks like EX259 might actually be running before it's 4 year anniversary after all

Also coming up within the next few weeks it's off to Goldie at ZRed to have another engine fitted (a nice forged version with toys) and a couple of other little things finished off.

It's getting to the final push now

Think I would put some great big bull bars on the front. To protect all those rads.

Glad its coming on a pace, Knockhill booking time soon.

Well done Ross.
