How much were the set from Alex will?

Blue and gold is the way forward

Just seeing if anyone has or knows of any genuine led rear lights for sale before I buy a new set? Thanks Arran

Its the best colour easily for a Z love the depth to it

Got some fresh pictures now ive finally been able to give it a proper clean and put my new stickers on. Not the greatest photos but il get some proper ones tomorrow at the Parrot meet First time photos showing the wheels actually on the car Steps for cleaning today were: Snowfoamed using Ultimate snow foam Wheels/tyres and calipers cleaned with 1" detailing brush and bilberry wheel cleaner Car washed with Dodo juice born to be mild Dried using Chemical guys wooly mammoth All windows cleaned with IPA All windows given Duxback treatment Exhaust tips and backbox polished with Megs Nxt metyl polish Tyres dressed with Autosmart highstyle Car waxed with Nattys blue paste wax Will do the interior before the meet tomorrow See some of you tomorrow! Cheers

Id put it on a proper diagnostics machine first instead of throwing money at random parts

Yeah the dc's have 02 bungs like stock, cheers Adam, id say good not silly lol, need to get your thread up man I want to smell the hate Drinks on me mate 2 at a time!

Very fast Dickhead

It does sound a bit like a broken washing machine when in a high gear under a lot of load but its not that loud, at idle there's no difference to stock. After 2200rpm its all normal and very fast revs from there

From what I can tell so far the clutch bites a bit harder which is nice for fast changes and the flywheel makes a world of difference. It revs so quick now and picks up so fast in the lower gears especially 2nd and 3rd but all gears are faster to pickup which feels great when moving as the Z hides its weight well I find. Not that its to heavy imo but when they've bedded in properly and I can go for a serious drive il report back with more info

Turn the stereo up

But I can tell you the manifolds have made a big difference especially mid to top rev range and the noise is now ballistic

Buying the motordyne xyz pipe first as I want another y pipe to finish it all of squeeze the last gains out of it. So tempted by those tomei drop in cams for sale aswell

They look woeful without spacers the Z arches are huge and need filling

Wouldn't like to try it with the gearbox on tbh mate, may aswell take the box off. What a difference though, cant believe it! Put my foot to the floor for the first time last night through 2nd and 3rd and I was startled at the difference, so much more pull throughout the whole rev range and it sounds even better now winning

Yeah those bad boys are getting sold with the car not going there again Mate its going to be mental when both are finished we need a dual feature for sure kyle indeed fella engine still in and very doable just takes time and lots of f***s, believe only a very few handful of people actually do it so glad I have though

So a big update, last saturday got round to fitting the Clutch/flywheel combo along with the exhaust manifolds. Whilst interesting to see how well these cars are built (at least compared to BMWs anyway ) and how it all comes apart its not a job ( the manifolds that is) that will be undertaken again. Could not have done it for a start without two technician mates, its not as bad as we thought it would be but certianly takes time and patience. The gearbox was out anyway so that would have made it easier god knows what it would be like with it still there! Still got the oil cooler and rocker covers to fit but that will be done in the next few weeks, heres some snaps of the process Exhaust and prop off Gear selector out Gearbox on its way down Old clutch New Flywheel (Sooo light compared to the OEM dual mass) Old flywheel (Nice heat spots ) Found a very slight coolant weep on the throttle body hose, most easy fix ever just undo clip, slide pipe right up and tighten clip. Job done Drivers side space or lackoff for manifolds OEM manifolds (shocking design can really see why theres alot of gains to be had here) alongside new DC Sports ceramic coated manifolds Look at the collector on the DC's compared to just going into one unequal pipe on the OEM, Much more efficient now! Loads of space to work with putting new ones on The finished article Had the unfortunate thing happen when refitting everything, the steering angle sensor ribbon snapped got a new one ready to go on next week so not the end of the world. So from what i can tell so far whilst the clutch is still bedding in is jesus what a change! The revs are sooo much faster and the car feels so much more alive, the clutch pedal i can now press with my little finger. Cant wait til the clutch beds in so i can go for a proper drive Next up a few minor cosmetic changes and the other parts to be installed, also will be ordering a Motordyne XYZ pipe and facelift LED rears very soon to finish off the car

It can damage the paint that way though apparently

If they work and are better then yes il take a pair. Sometimes have to push the button twice to get the boot fully open

All sorted now thanks to gduk jap parts

Afternoon all my ribbon has snapped in the steering angle sensor/clockspring has anyone got one? Part number 47945ar200 and superseded to 47945as500 cheers arran

If your going to fit springs especially eibach then youll need adjustable rear camber arms and toe bolt kit to get the geometry right after the springs have setted in, would be wise to stick some new top mounts and nuts will its all apart. Keep everything tight and fresh

Ive got the eibach 20 front and 25 rear combo from CS and its spot on, sits lovely and I find does help on track with the wider track, so not just for posers the Z looks horrid as standard with wheels filling the arches. get eibach dont mess around with cheap stuff imo not worth the potential risk

Might be worth while doing that before a track day then lol

Jag are making some seriously nice cars these days. I take it that's the 5l supercharged v8? Imagine that in roadster form with some decats and a remap. Would be one if the best convertibles around on par with a DBS volante imo wonderful looking things! Keep it up for Britain jaguar
