fist size autoverdi oil pump arrived, now have to do some cad work to make mount for this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VnomMJ9-ioXTYF7x5GYkUSpzR3QTxJ3aBM2Mu73rSIw/edit?gid=0#gid=0 opened spreadsheet, lets see whats gonna happen to weight

here is my charge air cooler, made from three valtra tractor cell

yesterday i got fourth stack gauge, i have plans for oil-water heat exchanger with own cooling circulation, this can control relay for fan and waterpump, lets see if system im planning is enough to keep it cool

started working with alloy oilpan. needs to be chopped a lot, over half off from height and corners cut above steering rack. if anyone has us spec ac at blue blue , blue yellow stock front springs i could buy them. mine has some sag on these

Old z's dash wiring aint that strong. I have relayed my headlights almost first thing after bought this car. I have usb charger/volt meter hard wired to lighter socket and driving on rain wiper and blower maxed dash voltage drops below 13volts. Today i kia swapped blower motor and did some measuring, stock blower draws 93watts and kia takes 180watts, theres not much change between 2 and 3 speeds. I think long term kia motor will melt fan switch my guess. Next thing im gonna re wire wipers and blower on their own relays. Original wiring has only couple lightbulbs to run, it can handle that.

has anyone modify/delete this part of engine bay, i could need some space there

https://i.imgur.com/lmqt4nR.jpeg oh dear, every other year i have to swap stock control arms for MOT. this time i fck it up, threaded nut went loose inside body from that bolt, anyone had to cut open body from inside to weld nut back in? and oil leak is still present

Look how much rear axle lives on this thing! wow, those control arms has heim joints. must be cause shorter than stock pivot points? dont fix it if aint broken! your multi-link axle is safe bet

Any updates here?

weight those te37´s please. https://www.braid-wheels.com/img/product/512-512-ESCALA/forged_i.png There is braid forged i which i think is same weight range and you can get them your own specs. 1000$ each

found cheap motec rims wheel weights with tyre 16.9kg (185R 14" 12.7kg) bit tight clearence to spring plate but seems to be enough. Big oil leak on pressure side of oil pan, unfortunately i have to do it again, maybe weld has cracked

That airdam reminds me callaway corvette.

https://i.imgur.com/zTNvmjO.jpg replaced my flat steering wheel to deep one, ergonomy seems much better now. https://i.imgur.com/1kzvThz.jpg https://www.motec-wheels.de/images/motec/motorsport/produkte/MCRY/detail/MCRY-6516-weiss-schr.png got cheap 215/60R15 tyres, im looking if used ET15 motec rims pop up for sale i might put those under Z

https://i.imgur.com/zvTZsoE.jpg as i have occasional steering wheel shimmying, im running stock bushing. i have full PU bushing kit. Is this 100% safe way to try if shimmy comes from soft bushings?with stock bushings compression rod moves really nice, pu on fron rubber rear, pu bushing moves a bit on its place and makes some noise on rod moving. whats your thoughts? im thinking just try lil bit harder rubber bushing on front, maybe some other brand oem bushing
