wackosr

That is sickening.

Let kindly help him up and pretend we care, just so we can get to his back pack and rob him blind!!

Yes, living next to a set of sweeping bends ment the curtains didn't get closed so we could watch people pirouette outside our window!

Okay, cool, thanks for that.

I'll have to get it sored out soon and coated before the weather gets worse!!

Cheers

May be worth a look.

You can get a cleaner adn a conditioner.

If your seats have faded worm marks, a spot of scuff master to restor the colour.

I've got some sat at home, something for me to do at thw weekend!!

Roadsters are better but dont tell the tin tops.

That's opened a can of worms!

I like the idea of Smart Watering them all. No need to disperse them, just tell them they are being marked with Smart Water and then do a mass scan of them all later. Anyone caught with Smart Water on them has their and direct family members benefits stopped. You watch them give up

Fantastic idea.

That would save the goverment a few pennies to put towards paying for this mess, man power and damage.

I'd also get those caught to clean up the mess etc.

Hi Coppz,

I think I've just been unlucky, I wouldn't worry too much.

I've not had her too long and there was quite a build up of dirt in the lip behind the arch, which probably contributed towards this bubble!

I must admit, I do a lot of shedding too, so the Zed will spend most of the winter in the garage, especially if the gritters have been out.

To be honest if the weather was bad I probably wouldn't get out of the street, had a good laugh at a TT last year that couldn't get up the slope!

By undersealed, do you mean wax oil?

Definitely worth getting the bubble fixed and then the car treated, don't want it to slowy rot away on the drive!

Cheers

I must admit, I agree with nearly everything thing that has been said.

We need to be seen to be tough, rough justice.

Unfortunately the Police aren't allowed to be heavy handed otherwise they end up being the criminals!

In times of crisis there should be no moral high ground, only justice being served by those in authoriety. Be it water cannons, rubber bullets, high velocity bean bags, tazers etc...

Ypu don't see police forces inother countries having to be so refrained as they crack yob's round the legs with their night sticks.

Once a few of these moronic thugs have been hit or taken a knock, they are going to think twice about what they do next.

(Especially if one of two rubber bullets go astray!!)

At the moment they think they can get away with it or worst case a few hours community service or a suspended sentance!

The Offending Article!!

Sweet, I bet that sounded great.

Was that with the SC?

Probably going to get a y pipe at some point, so I'm guessing that will add to the noise!!

Finally got round to fitting plenum spacer I've had for months, along with JDM harness cover.

 

Thought I'd get the plenum painted at the same time, few bits to do yet.

 

 

Off for a drive to see if I can feel any difference from the spacer

Wow, that's one tidy engine bay, good work.

 

Too many old people on here - I always found the K1 too quiet

Or is your hearing going??

Cool.

I'd be inclined to agree with that.

When outside the car it sounded good without the baffles in, but once inside it's very noisy.

I think it must reverberate off the tin roof!!

Also the boot is more open/straight through to the cabin too.

I just hope the bungs don't steal too much power!

Excellent, thanks for the info.

Do you have/had a K1?

Hahaha, yes I am a wimp!!

Maybe I should stick some ear plugs in the glovebox for when I man up!!

And I'm not sure how my neighbours would feel about them being out either!!

Not a bad idea, may have to look into that, guess that's the same kind of paint you'd use on a bbq?

It's a shame they can't be pushed in further too.

Cheers

Also took some time to clean up the rusty rear brackets before re install with new bolts.

Finally finished fitting my exhaust!

Finally after taking the old one off two weeks ago, got the K1 on this weekend.

And it was so good to get her out for a spin.

Old exhaust was a mess and blowing, so I didn't have much choice, other than to replace it.

I must admit, when I had finished I left the bungs out and fired her up, well the noise was good, but once in the car and accelerating, pretty deafening!

So I installed the silencer bungs, doesn't look as good, but sounds great and isn't unberable on longer runs.

With that done RTBiscuits air box mod done, I think I may need to sort out a plenum spacer adn then an uprev!

With the increase in flow through the system is it possible the system is now running rich to compensate?

Also, the left side sits lower than the right, what's the best away to level them out?

Are you sure the car hasn't had a knock on that corner and been repaired?

 

Factory galvanised steel and paint shouldn't bubble up that fast.

 

Only needs a small stone chip for a rust bubble to start - not necessarily a sign of accident damage.

That sounds better!!

Must admit, didn't notice anything amiss under the car when fitting the exhaust at the weekend.

I hope not!! Well, it doesn't llok like it has been, but the repair may just be a good one! Unfortunately it's had a few owners, so god only knows.

I'll have to give it a clean and take a couple of pics to show the damage.

Cheers

Seeing as everyone else is, it would be rude not to

 

 

 

I love this satin black finish. Would get this on my zed someday

Is it a wrap or paint?

Do you have more pics of different views? i'd really like to see them for inspiration

I'm also a big fan on the matt black paint with gloss rims.

The matching handles and badges is a nice touch and good attention to detail.

Also loving the McQueen quote.

should have sprayed it blue (the fastest colour)

 

Very good, but I'd have to disagree!!

Let's hope he's okay.

Shame to wreck a clasic like that.

He was pretty quick on Top Gear the other week, maybe that went to his head!

 

 

he's always like his cars and is a accomplished motorsport driver and has raced in quite a few events

I do remember something about him racing being mentioned on the show actually.

Such a shame, hopefully the fact he walked away is a good sign and he's fine.

Makes you think that if someone this experienced can have a faily bad accident, what hope do the rest of us have?!

I must admit I've been thinking about an advanced lesson of some sorts since I've had my Zed. Slightly more horses than the disiesal Mondeo!!

Any recomandations??

Let's hope he's okay.

Nice Colour.

Great time, congrats.

How many laps have you done to learn all those corners?!

Great photo too.

Definitely in my list of things to do.
