Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) So this is the Z when I picked her up Had her for over a year and up graded the crappy Bose head unit and did the buster mod fit a reversing cam for 15£ from eBay Then god sick off the sub and amp Fitting the sub in the OEM position and the amp behind the passenger seat glove box Then I got hold off some LED reflectors and fit them the same week Before And after Looks 100% better I think when they only cost 50£ and 2 or 4 hours to do depending on coffee brakes :-) Then the exhaust started blowing so got a SS duplex cat back system and it sound mint :-) Then started to look at it thinking what next alloys 18, 19, no 20,s made by cobra and nice and shinny :-) This left me with a big gap in the wheel arches and got hold off some eibach pro lowing springs pics to follow after fitting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 18, 2014 by Briggsybriggs1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thank god they didn't have a 2 for 1 deal on 22" rims because you would have had to get the grinder out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Great job fitting those lowering springs at home. Good seeing people do it for themselves ~ much more satisfying for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMLNJ Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What has the ride been like? Managed to go to morrisions without smashing the front bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good seeing people do it for themselves ~ much more satisfying for you. thanks it saves loads on money in the mods as well :-) and yes it is very satisfying as well. I'm going to attempt setting the camber when I get the parts as well with a spirt level DIY as it's best lol.

Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 So I've got her back on the road I've fit Elbach camber/toe adjustment arms and bolts to the rear and booked in on Monday for a hunter wheel alignment setup :-) here are some pics along the way Had to use the standard car jacks to lift her up to get my trolley jack under the rear jacking point. Removed wheel and fit new camber adjuster arm and toe bolts I only did one side at ones for safety so the car still had 3 points on contact to the ground if my 2 jacks where to fail O forgot to say I fit this a bit back still got one for the hand brake to fit but no rush for that Here is what she looks like before I give her a wash off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will like to know how the car rides on the Eibachs? thanks mate it was fun and past some time :-). The ride is more planted and were it had a bit off give in the corners it is just a bit stiffer . The general ride has not changed really . It gets over speed bumps as well but the only ones it scraps on are the were there are 3 little humps In a row.
