It has been appreciated and well driven over the years, but I wouldn't say it has been given the level of care it deserves. Previous owners have only done what is really necessary: oil changes, tyres and brake pads, neglecting the more annoying and expensive jobs.
So, I thought I'd create a thread for my Zed where I can share photos, mods and other bits and pieces about my (new to me) car.
Things I have done so far (in order):
- Roof motor relocation (luckily a previous owner did this)
- Fitted a stubby (sorry y'all whippy enthusiasts)
- ZHP knob installed
- Replaced H+R rear springs with stock OEM M-Sport springs (H+R were only on the rear and the ride was too low)
- Left and right cupholders fitted
- Cruise control retrofit
- Fit new Philips H7s to dipped beam and main beam
- Black grilles
- 18" set of MV2s in gloss black
- Bilstein B4s on fronts, including new bump stops, cowls and top mounts
- Suplex M-Sports springs on fronts
- Meyle HD front lower control arms, including lollipop bushes
- Meyle HD drop links
- Meyle HD track rod arms
- Bilstein B4s on rear, including new bump stops, cowls and top mounts
- New OEM Suplex springs on rear (M-Sport height)
- Remove CDV
- Flush brake fluid with ATE TYP200 Dot4
- Renew gearbox oil to Redline MTL
- Upgrade front calipers to 4 pot Brembo from Megane 3 RS
- New 325mm MTEC grooved coated front discs
- New Carbotech XP8 front pads
- Upgrade to HEL front braided lines
- 12mm front and rear wheel spacers
- Quaife LSD (in 3.46 diff)
- Vanos refurb
- DISA valve refurb
- Front headlights with black background
To do list:
- Wiper motor de-grease
- Re-align front bumper (new wing bracket on driver's side required)
- Renew RTABs
- Renew front and rear ARB bushes
- Fit adjustable rear camber arms
- Replace belts
- New CCV system
Dream list:
- Black wing mirror covers
- 3 point strut brace
- H&R front and rear ARBs
- Coilovers (BC Racing or KW V2)
- Clubsport clutch (not full race)
- Apex ARC-8/EC-7R/SM-10 wheels
