Thats crazy!! hopefully mine will be OK when I get under there in a few weeks......(of Keyser does )

So those are CS side skirts with the vents covered over...........hmmm!!! I LIKE those Good work guys, car is taking shape.

Hey Chris, any chance I could pop over one eve and take some measurements of yours? I missed out on the group buy but might try and make one up myself. Or we can maybe do it at a local DJCC meet Or at the DJCC cinema trip? (Lisa is hounding me to ask you for payment on this too if you could be so kind).

Im at BH22, can't claim most Southern member or anything, but i think other than Keyser & Buster i can claim closest member to the Zed Shed

It's do-able, I am looking to fit some 19" BMW wheels. From the little research I have done (need to pull my finger out) the smallest adapter spaces on the market is 15mm. So will bring the alloys you have to an offset of -15. Should be fine, fill the arches very nicely.

Haha

Why.....WHY....did I click that video in the first post? I knew what it was going to be, I still did it! That sounds unreal....time to start saving I think!

Sorry mate, can't help. But :lol: @ BBK!

Artistic shots,yes, Zed shots, not really. Some pics I took of my old Supra whilst out on a Photoshoot with a mate of mine. First time using HDR and really liked the results - can't wait to get the Zed in shape and get out shooting it.

Always time for beer & Haribo Catch you at Japfest. Drop me a PM if anything changes matey, otherwise see you at the show. Mods - feel free to lock/delete this thread as required.

Nice MR2 tubby mate. I've had 3 MR2's over the years and still miss them. I havent had the Zed long but I do think of it as a more grown up MR2

OH...FYI.....if you are going to fettle with these and try to split them for LED stuff........DON"T put them in the oven :lol: Try a heat gun or something a little more gentle

Yeah thats cool mate, I'm on the Dorset Jap stand but will be over on the Zed stand throughout the day. As opposed to postage, how about a bag of haribo (for the misses ) I'll be collecting some bits for my Zed (some of the bits are the above mentioned set of replacement OEM lights, except these are costing me money haha). But I will be over to try and meet some new members. I'll PM you my mobile number dude, give me a call at the show. I'll be there from around 6AM (helping setup out stand...yawn!!). Matt

Had me fooled for a minute there Good work dude, this should speed up the build nicely for you.

Hey Rajzed. Yep I had an LED project in mind for my old units but managed to properly melt one in the oven (pics in my project thread). Just to say again, this is for the passenger side unit only Although saying that, I can throw in the melted one too if thats any good for you to practice on? Are you at Japfest? or shall i get a postage cost for you? Matt

Holey moley that's close to the floor!! Car looks good matey, I was round buster this afternoon and there is definitely some poke going on! I think you guys should have a 'poke off' (ooh err!) Matt

After a recent fail with my drivers side rear light cluster, I have acquired a new pair from another member. This results in me having two passenger side units so one if free to a good home. The light is in very good condition, however the locating pins are snapped on the underside. However this doesn't make a difference once you have the three bolts tightened. I know these aren't desperately desirable but perfect for someone looking to replace a damaged, chipped or broken unit? FREE to any member, just cover my postage costs (maybe a tenner? ish). Or I can bring to Japfest Thanks,

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Thats tooo funny! Almost in tears here!

Cheers Wasso, Baller status is always good though huh

Other than the obvious weight gains of a Ti system, and the cool points is there any benefits of titanium in terms of flow etc etc?

Nice dude! Engine bay looks clean, love the gear knob Not long sold my supra before picking my new zed. Twin turbo's really are something special.

Good updates matey. The vid on the M25 sounds amazing!!!!

Cheers Chris. I might try the same broken unit with a hairdryer or heat gun to see if i have more luck. Maybe a focused heat will work better and not effect the main red plastic so much?......don't suppose you have a heat gun i could borrow for an evening?

Thanks to Chris for the loan of the oven, and to Mrs.S for the cuppa

Cheers Sarah mini update for tonight - in keeping with theme of recent updates....another fail!!!! Since owning the car I have been toying with the idea of creating some custom rear light clusters, based on the pre-facelift units. Buster loaned me a set to fit in place of mine, leaving mine free to fettle with. I had planned on fitting some custom built acrylic rods to give the effect of red bars of light, along with something funky with the three lines of reflectors pointing up towards the roof. So with a few hours to kill tonight, and a friendly Keyser around the corner......I went off on my way. After helping break some bits off the mini engine (when I say help I mean stand on a bar whilst Chris got 'Medieval on its ass'), we heading to the powder coating room so I could use the oven to split the clusters. I have done this before on my MR2 so I know the deal, put them on a low heat for a while then gently pry the lens apart as the glue softens. It takes time, but I got pretty good at it (did it to three sets). The Zed however didn't want to play ball, we had it on a low heat but before the glue had even began to get soft the red lens had deformed and sunk inwards So I now have one rear light unit which isn't much good to anyone, the other I'll try and sell. Time to go shopping for some facelight rear lights as they already come with LED's, and I shouldn't need to fettle and break these ones Pictures don't really do it justice, but you can see the parts that used to be straight are not anymore, and parts that used to have a nice curve to match the car are not so nice.
