maverick Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone, I've been a 'ghost' on here for a while and having owned my Zed for around 5 weeks now I figured I'd become an active member! I picked up a Gun Metal pre-facelift '55 reg GT-spec Z in January. 96k miles, nothing mechanically at fault however there is a dent on the driver's fender due to an instance of poor parking from the previous owner. It also has a private plate which is in the process of being removed; Tidying it up started immediately. Things started off with a 2-hour detail as the PO didn't bother washing it at all, so it was grubby inside and out (I found a pack of prawn crackers behind the drivers seat and spilt coffee stains under/behind the passenger seat) I've installed a couple of basic mods so far (JWT Pop Charger, hood dampers, clear bumper reflectors) and have tweaked it a little to suit my style a bit more (namely adjusting the clutch pedal and sound dampening the boot space) And following a full service (it hadn't had one since September 2013!) it went on the dyno and ran (an optimistic) 308.9bhp. I'm not bothered by the figures, I just wanted to make sure the power delivery is linear throughout the rev range and that the torque input is acting as expected. 'Engine health' and all that; So that's me in about 2 minutes! Looking forward to learning more about the Z and creating a mod page to help 'log' the stuff I do over the time I have this motor under my possession. Hopefully will catch you guys at meets, the big car shows and maybe the odd track day Edited March 1, 2015 by maverick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
