Well! This will hopefully be a bit more exciting than my last creation!

 

The Story.

 

Bought a 2003 JDM import around feb 2012 with 79k on the clock. absolutely loved it. Took it to the 'ring twice and survived Mallory.

Went through different looks, such as bright orange wheels

Then, one Tuesday after work, someone with -1 brain cell, cut me up and wiped me out, then drove off. Charming.

Anyways, a few emails and phone calls later and I was standing at the train station with a bright Green Zed coming to collect me.

Oh my word. I had, and still have, no words to describe how exhilarating that was. I think my words were "Its like being kicked up the arse!" Massive understatement.

Pulling up at the famous zed shed I saw my new zed!

Since my last car was a complete write off. Chris managed to find me a new Zed that would suit perfectly. Apart from some unsightly GREEN Doner Kebab advertisement stickers on the side! No wonder he found this one! Personally, I think Chris took them off with such precision that he can keep them!

Then, My wheels, exhaust, boot and other bits and pieces were switched onto a 2005 Uk GT spec Zed with 25k on the clock.

 

I Would just like to thank Keyser, Mrs Keyser and Buster for all the help over the week and getting me back in a Zed! Nice to meet all you guys, and it's nice to be able to put faith into someone you've never met.

 

Then, Buster Gave me 'The sticker!' Officially been Zed-sheded!

Now; plans for this one.

 

- Rear cage

- Coil overs

- Brake discs/Pads

- Whatever else I find for sale on here!

 

The car will be used more and more for track days as I've caught the track day bug.

Update.

 

Right, have been in a few minds about what to do with the zed. My first idea was to turn it into a track weapon but I drive the car daily so is a bit of a commitment to lose the ride quality for a few days a year. Then I was going to sell it as I was going to get a company car, until I found out it will cost me 150-200 in tax per month, so then I was like, I might aswell get a car on finance for the same monthly payments, something economical. So I put my zed on eBay, then my misses told me not to sell it cause she wants to drive it?! So insured her for a grand total of £17 until the end of my policy in November. So looks like I'm keeping it!

 

Unfortunately, I won't be doing much modding to it as I'm attempting to save for a deposit on a house. But I'll do small things!

 

First thing to do was to remove my k1 and go for a quieter system. I've had problems with my ears for a good 10 years, and due to the noise, my ears were producing too much wax and I went partially deaf for a few weeks.

A few emails later and Ian had sent me his spare k2 he had lying around! And in return, he receive a k1! Not bad!

 

Also picked up some tinted rear lights from chris.i have some tint film on order to do the reversing clusters aswell so will look pretty stealth.

 

But think I might buy some LED rear lights instead.

Absolutely love the sound! It's OEM until you boot it! Then it's a nice sound!

 

I will do a few bits and pieces over the coming months. But unfortunately I don't think my plans of stripping the rear and having a half cage is going to happen :(

I'm still undecided on the lights tbh. If anyone wants to swap them for normal lights just give us a shout!

 

and no, the wing got sent to the zed shed for burial! Although, I have looked into turning the little lip into an active spoiler! think that would look epic.
