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

Fitting the sub in the OEM position and the amp behind the passenger seat glove box

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 :-)

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

Great job fitting those lowering springs at home. ;)

 

Good seeing people do it for themselves ~ much more satisfying for you. :thumbs:

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.

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

Really nice car. Credit due for doing it all yourself. :teeth:

 

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.
