Simple cheap performance mods I love em'.
After so many write ups and as so many of you have done this mod thought I would fit a ‘stubby’.
Not sure what my wife thought but I told her I had a stubby and she said, ‘So what’s new.’
But what a difference to the Zed:
1.0-60 times have improved no doubt due to less drag. Shaved 0.00001 sec of my time if I dump the clutch at 3500 revs. Now need a new clutch but what the heck...!
2.Someone pedestrian was so impressed with my new found performance that I noticed the flash of a camera as I went through a 30 mph limit at 60 plus. Couldn’t see anyone but definitely saw the flash of their camera. Hope they post the pic. on FaceBook!
3.The new sound is amazing – a real rushing sound from the rear left corner of the car – masks all the sound of the rattles from the back and really masks the sounds of the broken suspension springs.
4.The looks I get from Ferrari and Lambo drivers is one of pure envy......! One was so impressed the other day that he was definatley so happy for me he was crying with laughter. What a good guy.
5.I can’t stop looking in large shop windows as I drive by at the new look rear end – unfortunately when doing this I drove into the back of a bus. Insurance is sorting this out (I think.....) and what’s 6 points on my licence.... ce’st la vie! The cop who dealt with me was really nice.
6.Wireless reception has suffered but I can still get BBC Home Service (for you young 'uns it's the best radio station ever)
Now what mods should I do next..... anyone found any performance improvement from cup holders?
(A repeat of my 2010 post but couldn't resist)
). The performance grills have a black surround, the stock grills have chrome (unless you have highline edition which comes with the black grills).
