Normal mount is on the bottom and the brace or cradle secures the top. Ligning up won't be a problem. All the specs are on HybridZ. Mine works well.

Interesting. Hopefully it doen't damage the engine. I guess alternatively you could pull the sump off and clean that inside etc.

His back will only take a few hours, it's his sack that they will be working on most of the day. :-\

Remember Scoota doesn't have a hoist Daniel. Ha Ha

Well done Chriss. Yes Shannon's are quite strict on the $15,000- max limit unless you provide crap loads of doc's to prove it's worth a shite load more. Even then they seem to only want to go to 25K at the max. But seriously most guys spend way over 15K on there cars (Zeds) these days. I think they need to update some polocy's set many, many years ago.

Looking good Kyle. That will be one awesome machine when it's done. As you know I have the same engine in my Turbo Territory which flies in a 2 ton chassis. I can only imagine what it will be like in a Zed. Persist with the pain and expense and you will have one unique machine. Cheers.

Yes there was another good bit that I took of Sulio snoring his head off very loudly, till he got a pillow in his head. Funny didn't make the final cut. Ha Ha. Maybe we will have to dubb it into the next one.

Another deposit of $25.00 from Geoff Owens of NSW or user name ZED660. Thanks for that. We also had an account fee of $2.00 come out leaving us with a balance of $493.43.

Glad to hear they all arrived safe and sound. Sulio still has some stickers to send out but I didn't want to delay the postage of the DVD any further. Next time we intend to throw on a heep of photo's as well. Let's hope we can get a few more people from Victoria along next time. Enjoy

Nice Knob!

Paid $22.00 for posting out DVD's today. Balance now $470.43

Sounds like it's worn out to me. I guess it's 30 years old. Mine did the same thing in the old days before I put an LSD in. But I was running a bit of extra power. Is your motor beefed up at all? I suppose you really need to pull it out and have a look at the internals. A guy here in Melbourne does a great job at that. But not sure who is local to you. I am no expert but it would seem it's seen better days.

Ladies & Gents. Well I have finally taken 30 copies of the finished CD, printed covers, gotten plastic cases and post packs. Will put it all together tonight and mail tomorrow. Appologies for the delay. Interstaters yours will be in the mail as well in a bulk 2 x (5) pack to Geoff Owens NSW & Chriss ACT. Take more copies if you need to and distribute. Cost to produce and post is around $60- so if any interstaters want to donate $10- or $20- then it's all for a good cause. Ha. Local people have already donated. We hope you like it. Reply on here if / when you get it so I know the process is working. Cheers

Just purchased 20 CD postage Packs $21.60 and 24CD covers $5.97. Balance now $492.43. Maybe another $30-$40 for posting and printing Thredbo CD covers to come.

There are a lot of write ups on Hybrid Zed on this. Subaru Racks seem to be the go. I looked at the MX5 rack and whilst it appears to be a better fit it wasn't as strong for the weight. (My Zed has a V8 in it. So I have purchased the Subi rack on Ebay for $150- and am shortly going to get my act together and install it using the detailed Hybrid write ups as instructions.

Your diff is stuffed. Either get a new/replacement diff or linkages.

I think before we can answer your question you need to tell us what you want to use your car for (Road, touring, Sprints or Racing) and how much power the motor is pumping out. The "R" series diffs are great so I wouldn't see any need to move away from them. The question as to what type depends on your answers above. Oh and what ratio you want will also have a bearing on the cost. some are more common than others. To my way of thinking any other diff used to save money would be negated after you spend time, money and energy fitting it.

Well done Japvi one last look at the car the other day with Gordon and it was one of the few Zeds left with very little rust spots. I hope you get it on the road sooner than later. Keep us up to date with your progress. Good luck. Waxhead I will wait for Gordo to read the thread mate. Cheers

We'll get one to you Scottie.

Hi Simon, On another thread Sulio has just advised that he finalised the said DVD. I will hopefully catch up with him tomorrow night so we can organise to post out the finished product by this weekend. Appologies for the delay.

We will hopefully post out the DVD by the end of this week to those who registered or donated. Regards

Ha yeah what Lurch said. I have spent way more than that. But all I did was add up the raw costs of materials for all the stuff on the car excluding labour and came up with that number. Every item has been listed with a price it cost or there abouts totalling 65K. Mind you this doesn't include the multiple brake, driveline, engine, gear box, suspension, exhaust, extractors, wheels, paint, etc etc that has gone through the car in it's development stage. If I did it right the first time that is close enough to the replacement cost if you wanted to build one. George I figure that I am a low risk driver since I haven't had any accidents. Not many people at my age can say that. But everyone has speeding fines. I just have a few more than the average Joe. Swings & round a bouts I guess. There still pricks! Ha Ha

Just an update Gordo sold the front Zed with the Red door on the weekend and even delivered it to his door for $1,100- which wasn't bad. Very little rust and plenty of good bits. Anyway one to go. Mind you he is talking of stripping the good bits off it and throwing the shell. So if you need anything then let him know. Cheers
