What did you do to your Z this week?

[uk66fastback]

It’s the quietest engine I’ve ever heard!

That pushrod adjustment should be done from the engine bay not the footwell.

Yes, but i think i may need to substitute the rod that came with the new booster with the one from my old one, in which case the booster needs to come out if i don't want to risk losing the reaction disc inside the unit!

No sound? I have a couple of zed engines that are extremely quiet in real life but sound terrible in video’s.

A red car and a blue car had a race .....



I got a present from brother in law - sadly it can’t keep pace with the modern stuff . The new cars have “traction control” magnets underneath but the Z does nearly perfect drifts round the corners!

There's no reason you couldn't get creative and implement some updates like the magnets, motor, etc. Think of it like a miniature resto-mod.

So just like the real thing (apart from magnets ha ha).

Hopefully this works better ...

Mine left the garage for about 10mins.

Fuel tank now rust free inside and cleaned and painted on outside. Should go in next week.

Also, bought some replacement side vent badges for my 2/2 in the right colour!

Nothing major. I just removed the plastidip on my hd wheels and washed and waxed the body.

Are your HD wheels 4k?

 

[jonbills]

I've got a spare wheel again!
since my front brake upgrade, my spare 14" wheel wouldn't go over the caliper.
Turned out a 15" Lancer wheel didn't get past them either, so here we are, a nice 16" Primera alloy. Of course, the retainer no longer reaches on a wheel with this offset, so I had to make something.

Surprised the huge positive offset doesn't cause clearance issues on the suspension?

Good spot, I've got big spacers. 50mm I think, so aggregate offset is - 5. wouldn't work at all without the spacers.

You must have longer studs as well then?

 

[jonbills]

no, the spacers are bolted to the hub on the standard studs, and the spacers themselves have their own set of standard studs.

Still fitting up the new engine in the silver car. Picked up the modified engine loom last so should be in a position the fire it up today.

 

[Bazzateer]

Took it out with some Imp Club friends to the Buckinghamshire Railway Museum to get sun burnt and look at some trains and buses.
