da.murf Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) What a job…. For a long time the headlights had been really bothering me on the zed. Typically Japanese yellowing but also I could see a clear tab inside the light that helps disperse light had also went yellow causing the entire unit to look poorly. It really aged the car in my opinion So to take the headlights out, the bumper needs to come off, which involves taking out approximately 1000 10mm bolts. Also to access around 1/2 the 10mm bolts both wheels and arch liners needed to come out too. Then headlights come out and whilst also removing approx 3mm of flesh from each knuckle Then headlights into oven for 7minutes at 100 degrees and then split. All to remove the yellowing tab. Then reverse the process inc adding silvertec bulbs etc. Polish to finish very happy with the results and freshened front end up nicely. tomorrow I’m wrapping them in a clear uv film to keep them minty clear etc Edited March 23, 2023 by da.murf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zeds are still a pretty rare beast here in Northern Ireland and even more so in the south. you will be a bright yellow zed in a sea of is200, twincams (ae86’s to rest of the world) and diesel vags. If you are about Belfast I’ll keep an eye out for your car lol. I’ve my zed out most days in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da.murf Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Quick update here last month I changed over the pcv valve. No visible damage/clogging etc but I’m sure it was the original one so no harm changing it another cosmetic change was removing the old badly corroded wheel nuts and replacing them with Tarmac Sportz titanium ones nice n light and also tie in with the titanium exhaust lol some photos of before and afters bear in mind the old wheel nuts where less than 3yr old and not really driven in salt and winter etc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I would just say having had stock, tein and Apex lowering springs the move to well sorted coilovers if you enjoy hustling the car would transform the drive feel over tired OE dampers. I've always had the mindset, round a track if Jason Plato could lap quicker than me in my car the power isn't holding me back from going quicker.
