Just make sure they fit .... As DE won't fit HR / 370 cats / decats .

Sounds cheap if it checks out ! Buy it

Light at last for a proper powered zed !! As said these cars should be 400 to compete with other markets ..... And the tuning potential would be awesome from it ..... Exhaust , remap , big intercooler ...... Boom 500bhp

As said George ..... It's only really an issue in the hotter months , and I bought the mm rad as it was a direct fitment ! But I guess on a charged set up every mm counts . Welcome to the world of FI!!

Just to be totally clear the car in my ownership never over heated . But did get up to around 110 , I was going to get the mishimoto rad fitted as a safety precaution , along with the iat sensor in the inlet .

What's considered too high coolant temps?

Everyone who has fitted the frozen boost charge cooler has seen massive drops in intake temps and less heat soaking. I would be wanting to leave that in imo.

As said though George , this is a great forum and full of helpful people and we are lucky to have such a forum ....... Also I'm quite nice and still around to help with your questions and queries !

That's a good list of mods you have and I'm sure that it will make the ford a lot better . You can just tell that exhaust is going to sound nice !

I had pressed plates on a few vw's and they were reflective and correct spacing , so perfectly legal . Had no issues at all .

Glad your getting it sorted dude and happy you are using jez and the crew as suggested . Im really sorry you had to do this though and i do feel a tad guilty ! But i genuinely didnt have a clue ! The oil pressure was as it should and thought that a 08 plate with 30k on shouldnt have anything to worry about for a good few miles yet .

Again cant recommend H-dev enough ......

Once all the suspensions on and you buy that diff of off nic i would love to meet up and have a look/feel of it . Maybe H-Dev should do a zed meet at their place

Right got it yesterday .... Went driving most of the afternoon . No time to do a full review yet as I'm at the cinema with my son , at 10 in the morning .... Very odd experience !! Anyway a pic at my house

Can't beat a Defender

 

Unless you're after a poncy school-run 4x4 of course.

But if you want something that's comfortable , has room inside , good on fuel and not tractor like , then there are plenty better options than the defender . Imo

Ya really looking forward to it ..... Have the rest of the week off so I'll be out and about in it quite a bit ! Although the weather looks pretty pants

Sorry to hear that man

What power was it at

 

I'm guessing 502 bhp at the fly.

Can't see his sig on mobile

Jealous as he has more than you

Hahaha

Edit .........did

Ooofff sorry man ! Were you not selling this a few months back , saw an add for it. Hope you get it sorted with minimal hassle .

For me it's just the right car at this moment in my life ! Yes there are better , faster , slower , cheaper cars out there but for my budget and needs it fits the bill and I hope I have some fun in it

Being delivered tomorrow ! At last

Can't wait ........

...........to get the exhaust mod done , spacers fitted and other bits on it

When's the diff getting fitted mate ?

 

Leaving it with Mark for the week of 13th March as I'm going over to Europe for the week for research trip for our June trip

Ah yes I remember you saying now . Awesome

Very nice , glwts

When's the diff getting fitted mate ?

Where is Colin ?

Are you a y fronts guy or boxers?

Why did you buy a soft top Porsche when everyone knows the coupes are better ?

Looks nice mate. I'm personally not a fan of BMWs in any shape, bet it's lots of fun

No neither am I really ! But it ticked pretty much all the boxs and does everything pretty well , so it suits me at the moment !

Noooo I am shocked. I also test drove a 12 plate V8 on Monday and it felt very similar to the 70 but unfortunately bigger and not really any quicker. Especially not for 2x the price!

 

They look great and make a nice noise but are really not special at all....especially compared with your 50! IMO of course.

 

Is that like saying the a 370 "isnt really any quicker" than a 350, especially for twice the price?

There would be nothing in it on the road between a HR 50 and 70 ...... And that's why I chose another 50 over the 70 when I was looking . The interior is nicer though on the 70's and the looks are a matter of taste on either

My mate had one he said the only thing that the m3 had over my 70 was the diff

 

Was your mate trying to sell you another 370 at the time?

 

Nice whip BB, I do like them in white I have to say. Any plans for more noise/brakes/carbon?

See above

Trying not to go crazy with it ! But will end up getting a carbon M sport rear spoiler , as they look so good

Yes already booked in for the 2 or 2.5 exhaust mod

Been on cutters for a while , as i know chris and carl from there , really helpful guys and full of knowledge . But yes ill be sticking round here ( sorry folks !) as its like a little family with the odd chav who turns up every now and then !

I have heard the brakes are the week point and when the pads are done i may well upgrade to stoptech bbk .... Or as you say better pads for the cheaper option .

Has new mpss on all round from previous owner

And will be booking jack royal for a flat bottom alcantara steering wheel , along with some dash parts that ill get covered with a nice little '///M3 ' embroidered on ti them .....

Ordered spacers , matt black grills , side and bonnet vents already !

My mate had one he said the only thing that the m3 had over my 70 was the diff

And you helped me with that

As in your zed with the charger on ? I would have thought your zed would pull on the m3 quite a bit ! But in standard form the m trumps the 70 in pretty much every aspect , but then it should its alot more money!

Ess supercharger on order ..... 7k fitted and mapped 600 bhp , hahaha

Did it really not feel that much quicker? I genuinely thought it would be quite a significant difference over the 370?

You have to absolutely ring it to get it to go fast ..... Peak power at 8300 rpm . I had a blast with a manual one a few years ago in my standard HR 50 ..... It spanked me , and the 70's are no faster than the HR 50 as we all know . It's not night and day faster , it's just so well set up you can use the 420 bhp pretty much all the time as the chassis handles it .

What's the comp pack give you Josh?

Lighter wheels , lower ride height , race mode on the gear shift speed ( so so quick ) and some other damping settings on the shocks . About 3.5 option when new . This car was over 60k under 3 years ago !!
