Bought these awhile back, but I installed them today for the next autocross in a couple weeks.
What have you bought for your Zed this week?

New spark plugs to go in soon:
Along with a coolant drain/flush:
Interesting label - I shouldn't have to do this again any time soon
And, finally new PPF for the inner wings.
Here's a before picture - showing the scabby old PPF:
If it didn't come off in hundreds of tiny pieces I'd have had it all done at the weekend.
But, between the showers, it took me a couple of hours. This is after:
I'm not looking forward to doing the other side but I am pleased that I'm rolling back the years on this vehicle, one small job at a time.

ABS adaptor rings. I am colleting parts to fit a 210mm diff with E34 outter drive flanges. These have larger spline counts and will also give me larger stronger CV joints. I have the diff and outter drive flanges and was looking at modifying them to fit ABS rings when I stubbled across the adaptors already made. Will clean up my spare subframe and trailing arms this winter and once the diff is mounted sort out CV shafts.
A few cracks on the original pipes and I had an excuse to GO BIG!

Wasn’t going to be on my list for a while but you have to do these things when opportunity presents itself..and this opportunity was to grab a mint set of outer sills from @Dave in Southampton. Never seen a second hand pair in such good condition as these before..zero rust. Came off a jap import. Granted they are not very red..but thinking I’ll give them to my local body shop to do over winter and attack my inner sills in the spring.
Good purchase
