Well it's been a while since I posted on here, quite happy with the mods to the Zed, so haven't done much else.
It's been parked up for winter, so with summer coming time for a check over and MOT. First thing I noticed was a blowing Y pipe. Having read posts regarding replacements I took a chance with an Ebay Japspeed. Given the low mileage the car does and that I'm always thinking about selling, the cheap option made sense.

Looking rusty underneath so undersealed at the same time. Tape round the cats is to stop the heat shields rattling.
Passed the MOT so time for a good clean and polish. Then noticed this.....

Grrrr, rusty rear arch. Not sure what I'm gonna do with this. Is a home fix possible, rust repair, filler and paint, or is it a new panel job?
Ah well, forget about that for a minute and go for a drive. Errrmmm, that tyre looks a bit flat only pumped it up last week. Found a leak around the metal valve and peeling paint and the start of corrosion.....

Got all four valves replaced with rubber ones and touched up the paint. In the meantime had to fit the Rays....

Car feels better with these on, until it rains. On the rear are the Lassa Impertus tyres that came with the car when I got it. Absolute garbage in the wet, I know why Lassa sponsor drifting. The new valves seem to be holding pressure so will be swapping wheels over soon.
Apart from these issues it's good to be driving the Zed.
