ZX 16v

a brief update, not yet got the Satchshift fitted, I haven't got any drills small enough to get anywhere near the bulkhead to make the hole, also not having access to anywhere flat or a ramp makes things very difficult.

Got hold of some 205 Tarmac rear dampers, so much more chunky than the konis and the balance front to rear from a brief test drive is much improved.

As the ZX seems to sit quite low and these dampers simply will not compress by hand or lever, I had to get creative in their fitting!

I had also been experiencing some light vibration from the nearside rear brake under heavier braking, the discs had got particularly rusty when parked up last and seem to have glazed over and picked up some pad material in spots possibly, so Ebay to the rescue with some genuine rear discs, made sure the flanges were spotless before fitting of course.

and lastly something to have a fiddle with tomorrow possibly, a cobbled together used bits, thermostatic takeoff, pipes and an oil cooler, pipes should hopefully be long enough this time, the old Swaged set I still have weren't quite and these are a good few inches longer.
