Yes
this sh#t cam happen...
I ran the same engine for 8 years & changed air filters only to develop a misfire at 5500rpm
replaced igntion/rotor etc...only to find foam air clearners were getting sucked into carbs as revs rose!
Dumb arse...
Wasted day & half at track chasing problem I created!
Getting closer...
Steering column attached
items to complete are as follows:
final fit drivers seat,
install harness,
connect igition system & fuel systems - then START THE BASTARD!
Sorry I couldn't make it Aub...had the old man out at the shooting range at Belmont & we run over time to attempt the run down to your place.
Would have liked to catch up before Christmas...maybe we get another one organised for the new year in January 2016
I know my Dad would be happy to host the zeds!
UPDATE ON PROGRESS...
Slow going but the car has its new custom driveshaft, all fluids are now in & fitted FRP bonnet with carbon wrap
Anyone got a spare FRP or Carbon bonnet they want to part with?
Otherwise I guess I will order one from Topstage...
Some recent photos attached...
Thanks Garvice,
I decided a couldn't continue to run 2 x projects concurrently any longer...something had to give
If it says local - will certainly push them your way
For Sale is a great starting point for someone looking to get into Zeds at an affordable price.
This car should be considered as a "project" & a solid starting point & will need work to be suitable to be re-registered etc.
It has rust in some of the usual zed spots - but these can be clearly seen (no attempts to hide) so there should not be too many surprises as it is a pretty honest car.
