Humpy Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 How did the engine swap go today chaps? All running I hope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes mate all running - It turns out we didn't need to change engines it wasn't the head gasket at all - it was just Buster forgot to put the bottom hose back on, that's why it was overheating No really - no overheating problems, running sweet on test drive we will know more when Luke can take her for a good run he had to return in his loaner tonight so his Zed is waiting to be collected. Great stuff chaps and fingers crossed for sure. Hope you bartered down that Stevey chap on that engine a little more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if your thinking that you should feed the cakes into the inlet manifold, block the zorst then when the engine is turned over the cakes could be fired into the air and we would have doughnut rain I therefore doubt I am thinking what you are thinking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 😜😜😜😜 Ok octet shall I tell them? The real zed shed will be doing a live forged engine build/install this summer! Before that there is the small matter of installing the first twin GTM supercharger on a 370z. And many other little projects in between! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forwards to the builds As long as - 1. Bennett does not wire it up and 2. Octet keeps the car long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Who's Bennett anyway, do you mean iBishop? He's forbidden to fit any parts, he's only allowed to tighten the nuts and bolts after me and Darren checked they were fitted correctly, not the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrE004 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just want to use this thread to say a massive thank you to the whole Zed Shed crew. Despite the massive frustrations of not bring in my brake pads on the Saturday and then finding out my spoiler needs a hefty repair. Bob still fitted my new Lip from Tarmac Sportz like a boss. Then on Sunday we had some success by changing my belts (AC is working again (woohoo)). And fitting some splash guards in place of doing my brakes as it turns out there wasn't one more go in my discs. And I'm glad that Mrs E's baking went down well. So as ever, the Zed Shed was left with a longer shopping list than I started with!! Now all I've got to do is:- Buy New Discs (Front and Rear) Find a fibreglass repairer Respray the spoiler Remove and clean up around the old lip spoiler Buy another set of front Splash Guards Afford my respray to get everything the same colour O yeah. And walk again. That will help. My ankle op went fine guys so hopefully I won't be on crutches etc too long and we will be back to see you again soon.

Glad to here the OP was a success At least you will have lots of nice cakes to eat while you convalesce Look forwards to seeing you (and more cakes) when you can walk unaided and you have some nice new shiny disks.
