Paul T. 2nd Zed Build thread..... Supercharged- Hulk Buster

Hi folks. Time to start another build thread.

 

My plans for this arrnt set in stone so things that are getting fitted just now might change along the way as I see it all coming together. Some parts look nice until you put them next to others so the end result is anyone's guess. Lol.

 

So the Scottish summer decided to show itself this morning so I took the opertunity to remove the front bumper to test fit my Nismo V3 copy. For the price I paid I was actually surprised how it fitted and looked. It's in no way perfect but I can sort it out no worries and the cost saving over a original .... Well it was a no brainier.

I doublt I'll keep the slatted side vents. I'll probably smooth them out .

Issues to note with the bumper are :

a few lines around the headlights need extended to close the gaps.

Where the bumper meets the inner arch liners need lengthened to allow coverage

Under tray is around 4" short and I'll need to make a custom one to attach it correctly ( oem bumper comes with the extender I believe)

 

I was also going to test fit the vented arches I had but the scottish summer ended and the heavens opened so I buttoned her all back up and got soaked through in the process...... Can't wait to have a garage again !

 

While the wheels were off I stuck a set of 19" forged rays on to see if they cleared the brembos ok. Seem fine. Offsets look close to original wheels so I might need spacers if I decide to run with these.

 

Thanks for reading and enjoy the pictures

Paul

 

Stripped of and all looks original and clean for a 53 plate :-)

Headlight gaps need a little work

Might get these stripped and painted to see how the look on the car

There's a good 10mm clearance for the brembos :-)

Nice start, where did you get the v3 from? Been wanting one for a good price for a while now. Cheers

 

I got it from Ebay. Bide your time. I might end up changing my mind depending on how the rest of the kit turns out lol

Quick question for folks who know about tyres. The 19" rays I'm fitting are 8" fronts and 8.5" rears I'm thinking tyre size of 225x35x19 front & 245x35x19" rear. Does that sound normal ? The car will be getting lowered 30mm approx

 

I'll probably get a set of wider wheels for next year but for now these will be getting painted and fitted :-D

 

Thanks for any guidance

I've been super busy of late with work and my house extension so the see has taken a back seat. It's now at the painters. He has it all stripped and is planning on starting the prep work in the next few weeks. I'm in no rush to get the car back as I've no were to keep it until the extension / garage is on a bit further

 

So I've changed my mind on the front bumper and I'm going with the Amuse GTS.
