D4XNY Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well after yesterday amd the eventful day it turned out to be, we did finally get a chance to take some pics, all be it, very dark ones! But these lot turned out ok..... Quoted from Amys introduction thread..... Well.... things dont run smooth with me and 350's!!!! aaarrrrggghhh!!!! OK, im sure ill forget alot of detail in this; maybe Kite, or D4NXY (hope thats right user name for danny with the lovely black modded zed) or BulletMagnet can add to this!! they all came round mine to help me fit the 19" alloys, k1 exhaust and look at my 'cubbyhole' The wheels went on.... the rear tyres have little air and as they have aluminum valve caps theyve corroded / got stuck on and therefore tyres (rears ) have little air right now... (this may help explain a big prob ive had today.............) the exhaust; the poor chaps were at it from 1pm till 10pm- no joke!!!! the standard exhaust the bolts etc were so rusted they just couldnt get it off.... easy on a ramp as room to swing at them etc.. but we only had they car jacked up. So i ended up driving it last night with no exhaust and the k1 in passenger seat!!! That however was all fitted at a garage today, and looks great- sounds good too. i like it . The cubby hole.... They had it all out and in pieces.... and my motorised screen had stuck down- we got it back up and the reversing camera worked...woohoo!! the sat nav does not though. whilst all this was apart the weirdest thing happened!! the car made an actual door bell noise!!!! DING DONG!!!!! twice!!! it was really funny... but very strange!!!! we all joked the cubby hole would close when all put back together and ignition switched off......... guess what- it did!!!!!! so the motorised flap seems to shut it but not put it up!?!?! it was really gutting as theyd spent a while taking it all apart just for it to shut back down!!!!!!! BulletMagnet (Mark) was really kind and took it all back apart and has now disconnected the cubby hole motorised screen- so now its stuck open so i can use the reversing cam.... but its all very strange and the sat nav is just lit black and beeps now and then and jap writing comes up ... ill need to sort this eventually. We were listening to 'Elton John' haha whilst working on the zed and when we went to start the car her batt had gone flat.... typical!!!! this was at about 10pm after a huge struggle all day with exhaust!!!!! We swapped kites batt with mine- then quickly threw mine back in and charged it- we went for a photoshoot with the 5 zeds which Danny took the pics so hopefully we can post these up ..... There was 5 zeds as also Terry helped... i dont know his screen name on here !! he said he will come back on though today... tried to open the car- didnt work..... i assumed batt had died, started to bang my head on walls by now!!!!! but somehow after 5 mins it actually opened and started! very strange !?!??! i assume poss my key fob batt is dying??? i had the exhaust fitted, they didnt have alot to do as the guys had done most work, that went well !!BUT ... On route from fitting exhaust to work the SLIP warning light kept coming up on dash, i seemed to be losing power , so i drove to work really slow i dont really know why.... i am praying its because the rear two tyres have not enough air... and one rear is very low on tread. I tried to replace that today but they didnt have the tyre i wanted in, i also asked them to pump then up- replace those valves as they were stuck- they advised untill i have the tyre not to said they didnt want to disturb the tyre replacing the valves?!?!!? and told me to get my garage this eve to do that...... this eve its going to another garage who are respraying front bumper and meshing it ..... so i just pray the car opens, drives and doesnt flash SLIP up too much ...... and i can get that garage to source the tyre and pump em all up right..... all in all... very stressful if anyone could help with this SLIP warning light that would help, it is because she now has 19's on her? or perhaps the fact one rear is low on tread and low on air??? i hope its the above and not a real fault / issue ........ thank you to the 4 lovely zed owners who spent allllll day helping me and under my car getting rust in their eyes yesterday. i cant thank you enough! help!!!!!! And here are the pics! Hope you Enjoy! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Some of those group shots with the moonlit clouds are Dan - good to see you Boyz being such gentlemen and helping out a new sprinkle Amy I sincerely hope you get them properly 'trained' as fast as possible - its taken me two years with the Scottish lot and there's still one or two who refuse to toe the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 its taken me two years with the Scottish lot and there's still one or two who refuse to toe the line and you have the NE lot to attempt to train in a few months Good pics guys/girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Love those moonlit shots of the Zeds & that sky is a fantastic backdrop As ever, great to see the Zed community coming together to help out another owner. Call me cynical though, would Nora Batty have got the same help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm a little confused by the text. Am I right in saying that the two rears have almost zero air in and one tyre is basically bald? And that you're only going to replace one tyre? Unless the other tyre is almost brand-new, you'll have to replace both tyres together and don't forget to match them to the front. I would avoid driving the car as much as possible (i.e. nowhere unless directly to the tyre fitment place) if the tyres are in that kind of state else you're asking for trouble, and certainly if you're having issues with the TCS. Also: Posing tart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Some really smart Zeds and pics there I like the posing one, very mag feature-ish. Also like these ones: hidden in plain view: Best of the sequence: Xmas time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimm Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Love the photo's and a great effort chaps. I have seen many post on doing your own exhaust but to be honest unless the car is nearly new it is never worth waisting so much time doing it yourself, take it to a garage, done in very little time and while you sit having a coffee What are your next mods then ?
