JaysZ Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 i ordered this from watsons streetworks last week and i received it today. the quality of the parts look good. the solenoid looks exactly like the ones from SPAL. the magnet, as labeled is very small which is good. i'll have that magnet as my keychain and thats it, i like to keep my keychain uncluttered. i'll try to post pics after installation and when the handles get shaved. edit: i exceeded my bandwidth from photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 very cool, hope the installation goes as smooth as possible. when are you going to shave the handles and install this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 the handles will be done shortly.. the shop is extremely busy everytime i go so i'm just happy its this far. after its done, i'll leave the windows down and wait till its painted to install it, but after the handles are done, they are pretty much ready to paint it (view my other thread in the body forum) btw, where in texas are you located? i'd like to arrange a meet in a month or so...

Sparky Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 cool, are you going to shave the marker lights and antenna as well? also, what colour are you going to paint it? I'm located in San Antonio at the moment until I finish school. I'm thinking there is a Z show coming up in Houston sometime in the summer. Its possible that I will make it to that one if I can get my car back together in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 the antenna has been shaved already.. as far as the markers, i really want to and i dont know why i've been hesitant to tell the shop. i wanted to do the drip rails but the whole unibody thing would make the amount of work ($$$) too much right now. anytime you are in town, let me know so we can round up a few guys! oh, i'm getting it painted "athletic metallic gray" which is a honda color.. its a dark gunmetal.

VinhZXT Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Jayz, Do you have an earlier Z? If so you may want to attempt to install the selenoid first before shaving the handles. On earlier Z doors you don't have much room (openning) to work with. You may have to cut a big openning toward the bottom rear of the door for easy access and for installing the selenoids and then weld it back. I have done it twice on both of my ZXs and I didn't have any problem but I know the Z doors don't have any big opennings for accessing the inside of the door. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
