No major plans ;)
Just keep it rolling, dents and paint damage will be fixed sometime in the future. Also a TCT conversion will happen.... someday :D
Today I've been working on my righthand driveshaft, after a trackday in Belgium, it failed on the way back home. Car vibrated like crazy with the slightest acceleration I had already replaced the righthand shaft 2 years/25.000Km ago, so I thought it would be the other short one.
But it wasn't. This axle was a overhauled one from Citroen. I'll never buy one of those again.

On the bench


Metallic grease? Or small pieces of iron??


Hmm lost some bearing rods!


Not good!


Broken parts, even a broken bearing rod!


The surfaces have been damaged by the broken bearing, and also there's some play of the whole thing on the axle, so it it'll have to be replaced.


Also damaged

whyd u get all the messy jobs hahahah.well ur getting all the parts all sorted so ur good fora couple more years.the fuel tank bit looked like a fun job lol

It was

just noticed while i was going through ur pages.u got ride of ur keypad imobliser.was that tricky or did u hide it sumwere else.alsowats the wee filter attach to in ur engine bay.any benifits from that

It's hidden behind center console. You can take it off, start the engine and just pull out the keypad connector
Refit: start the engine en refit connector.
I still have it cause if u pull it out, it'll also disable the ECU warning light, which sometimes comes in handy.

Heater matrix was creating some unwanted coolant smell so it was dying, time to replace it, for that the whole dash needs to be taken out. A good moment to fix wiring neatly, replace the alarm and some other stuff that's use when the dash is out.






Heater is out, AC unit is on the right and does not need to be disconnected, which I feared because it's still an R12 filled system which cant be filled anymore, you'd need to modify it to R134a when it's not working anymore or when it's empty.




The idle intake had it's own filter, but is was too small so now it will breathe through the 'big' air intake.

lots of fun solderin them lights up.do u like the end result?why did u have a filter on the idle value?

It needs air and you want it to be clean so thats why
Result of the leds is ok, but there's room for improvement, there will be a 2nd protoype sometimes

nice job !

i c ic so if i did the same it wuld benifit from it.one day i will do it and the oil catch thing i liked wat u did

it does not bother you if I copy your idea for the light ?

nice mod! a more actual version of ZX´s tail light

i was just wondering is ur rear bumber lowerer than a standard bumber or are they the same size?
