Husky Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 When I opened this thread I was hoping for a nova project Think it takes balls to transform a car as perfect as a 911 turbo but I'm watching with interest. Think it's worth posting a few pics of your zed for the newer members as when I joined you had sold your zed but a photo would pop up now and again +1 +1., heard lots about it but didn't ever see it.

Ekona Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Take it somewhere other than DMS for the tuning. Nine Excellence would be my preference. Ditch the wheels for some light BBS ones, pop some Cup brakes on there, sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo did a good review on them and they have a great track record some more pics of potential body kit, but obviously will add personal touches to... going to start photoshopping now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Can't beat real life need for speed modifying. Should we expect a unique paint job as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 DMS get a lot of good press, but none from enthusiasts. They have a good, solid brand, but some of their claims are either silly or their maps don't leave you with a safe margin. All second-hand evidence, but I wouldn't spend my money there.

Zedrush Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) hi guys quick update, after a hell of aot of research and photoshopping and planning I have decided to sell this car next year and get the pdk Turbo S 997 to mod as the kit only fits around the rear lights of Gen 2 not Gen 1. You know me if I want a particular kit then I need to have it, so modding will commence then. The car is insane though, I hit 173 on private land absolutely insane power delivery but i know pdk is more responsive, and modifying an S should make a great statement as it's hard to top the last mod unless I go all out. So sorry for delay guys, don't worry am not all talk. Also booked direct access for bike, I want a Yamaha R6, I know people will go against that as a first bike but I will have endless training even after the Direct access to respect this bike. Already looking at what exhaust to change with and of course getting rid of the rear licence brake holding bracket and getting a corbet comfort seat Edited November 28, 2012 by Zedrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dErZ Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Love your previous Z project. Is this going to be your 1st proper bike?

martinmac Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I had forgotten how small that beast made my car look. Have you got the council to dig up the speed bumps yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Jay, as usual you don't have the chance to get bored of a vehicle. Any training wheels for the bike?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Make sure you test an R6 out first Jay. Not sure it will suit your stature TBH. But you'd be fine on it for a first bike, just need to have good throttle and clutch control and make sure you ride within your limits. Plus if you keep it in the town, you wont find anywhere to go fast enough to die Seriously though, if you just rev it like a car (ie upto 5-6kRPM) then it drives quite sedately, its when you get to higher revs it goes nuts.

Ekona Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Jay, not sure if you're aware but if it's big power you're after then you don't want a PDK tubby, as the gearbox will not take anything over 600bhp before cutting out and leaving you in limp mode. No-one has figured out a way around this yet, which is why all the big power 997.2 cars are manuals. It's not exactly a slouch with 'just' 525bhp, but just so you know. I know you're about the show as much as the go, but worth bearing in mind. Keep an eye on the cost of PCCB replacements too, as they're absolutely daft money... Also, I'm fricking jealous. I would love a Turbo S, utterly stunning cars that will annihilate just about anything they come across. When I did Vmax at Brunters a guy had one there and it didn't exactly do bad against the 599 GTO in the head to head. Immense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud I did not know this, hmmm I really wanted a paddle shift one don't want to go down the manual route. I was hoping that after this one they might bring out a 991 GT2 PDK which will be the ultimate fun car imo. Hope you are keeping well matye, I might have to go back to the drawing board, although 600bhp is plenty for me, the styling is going to set me back as it is, want to be seen... and heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
