Zack's Build Thread - Big update P.30 !

[ZACK]

Thx bbz.

It's great when it's not broken or stolen x

[ZACK]

Update that I forgot to post before i went to ModNats ( Modified Nationals ) for the weekend. Finally had my wheels sorted-ish.









Disassembled, Centres powder coated in Citroen Carmen Red, Outer dishes polished, Inner barrels painted black and 3-piece build up using new gold bolts and new silver nuts.

Shame the wider Schmidt Radinox dishes that I had for the fronts had to get nicked as the front should be poking like the rear

Were the fronts nicked when the car was stolen Zack ? Guess the thieving bastards had already off loaded those ?

The wheels themselves were locked away safe (Thank god) but the weekend it had got nicked I was in the process of moving into my own flat so had alot of items still in the car. Including 2 new outer Radinox dishes forthe 2 front wheels - would have made them wider with a deeper dish. Even though they were £250 / dish They were probably either binned or weighed in for scrap to fund the thieves drugs habit...

So all in all, about 2Oz's with a bit of change?

Dicks.....

[Chris_Blue]

what you getting next zack> another ds3?

[ZACK]

Haven't updated this in a while.

Currently at a crossroads with the DS. Tried selling a few months back, had plenty of offers but they were all car plus cash offers - of which I didn't fancy any of the cars a great deal...

Not sure whether to plough more money into it, try and re-kindle my love aswell as enjoying the cheap running costs etc or get rid for cheap and go for the Merc V8 beast I've been fancying for a while.

*Sigh*, Bloody cars.

[Hyperkev]

Bit of a jump

[THP]

I keep looking at cheap V8 Mercs but I don't know anything about mechanics for when they inevitably go wrong...

[Sean]

Zack, if you get that front fitment sorted i might be interested in making you a cash offer :P

[#becauseracecar]

You are going to have the shock of your life jumping from a diesel to a fucking V8 hahaha. Sounds fun though!

[ryanjones55]

ZACK, just read through this whole thread and it's a shame you're getting rid of your ds3 having spent so much time and money on it! Noticed throughout that a few people asked about the performance gains from the hybrid turbo you had fitted, but couldn't find an answer. I've got a 110hdi, and am seriously considering a hybrid turbo. What were the performance gains, were any other modifications required, and (if you don't mind me asking) what sort of cost are we looking at? Cheers

Oh Hai There...

THIS LOOKS BEAUTIFUL....I WANT IT, AND I WANT IT NOW!

If my car's engine bay look like this, I would probably spend most of my day just staring at it!
