What did you do to your Z this week?

Went for a late summer evening drive yesterday View attachment 58472

Definitely sub that one for the calendar

Got to get mine working properly, they only work on dipped beam currently.

Had to abandon doing mine until next week but they were working on full beam....I'll take a pic of the wiring when I get back onto it

Did that with a much better picture last year, didn't make it into the calendar

Thought about mine a lot. Been away from the house since Aug 2021 …

It almost did. We've got it in the reserves folder for if we need it for this year

I bought a custom steering wheel from Zen carbonfibre in Texas. It arrived this morning so I fitted it. I struggled with the two torx bolts either side of the wheel that hold the airbag cowl on. After a bit of an internet search I found out they are security torx bolts that require a different torx ( it has a hole in the middle ). Anyway all done. I know it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I like it.

That's all that matters then bud

This week I removed my K&N Typhoon short pipe intake system and fitted one from Z1 motorsports in the US. The very same are advertised on the Torqen website for £688 plus delivery so ordering straight from Z1 made sense as it was £446 when converted including postage. The only thing I wasn’t expecting was the cost of the import duty as I had an extra £108 to pay bringing the total to £554 plus a £12 charge from my credit card for payment in dollars. So the grand total is £566 which is still some £134 cheaper !

Today I took the battery cover and surround casing off to get to the fuse box down the side of the battery to remove the steering lock fuse. This was recommended as sometimes on the early 370,s the steering lock can fail leaving you stranded. When I finally got to it I found the previous owner had beat me to it !

 

[Rob Gaskin]

There was a recall to do with the steering lock.

 

[Aerialmark]

Surely mine would be too old for a recall now Rob ?

 

[Bazzateer]

Perhaps a previous owner had it done under the recall, hence it's already done?

Safety recalls I think apply forever.
Edit: check if you have outstanding recalls here:

[Paul_S]

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a recall. It was a Voluntary Service Campaign where you could take your car to the dealer to get the steering lock replaced FOC. It would have been replaced at the next dealer service as a matter of course. So your car should have had it replaced already.

I have the part numbers if you want to check the device fitted to your car. A lot of people still pull the fuse as a precaution, but I'm not sure where that leaves you if your car is stolen and the insurance company finds out a security device has been willingly disabled.

 

[Aerialmark]

It says no recalls outs

 

[jonbills]

I've not mentioned it for a long time, but I'm still plodding along with my 240.
I've been putting the doors and panels back on, and tidying up the gaps, ready to go to the painter in July ()

 

[Fairlineguy]

Next build was painted yesterday
looking forward to picking her up next week once panels fitted up and final mop/polish
hope to have her ready early next year.
