The FOZ
Thought i would start a small project on this as not going mental with it so first thing ive done has bought the mcguires headlight resto kit and do the headlights as they were cloudy anyway some pics of proof .
First pics is before then followed by after look so much better . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6dc58bd309.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ec6db5f878.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c7bccaf017.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fbefc77eec.jpg Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk |

Very nice. Did you have to clean from inside as well or just outside? I was thinking to do the same work my Fozzy.

best way is to have them machine polished as it restores to a nearer new condition than any other treatment we have come across and lasts well |
Started to add some paperwork so done a check on it from the land of Jap and also of course added the importers folder .

Today the Foz had new rubber with right sizes fitted so much better and also replaced some old grill clips for new ones now its wabble free i am really struggling to find things to do to it this is a first from me lol .
|
Few things to think about if not already done:-
- Rear strut brace (Whiteline QR bolts allows the load space to still be used when needed) - Thicker rear ARB (20 or 22mm seem popular choices) - Rear subframe locking bolts Makes a huge difference compared to standard in my experience and none of it costs the earth. |

Does it ride any better on correct tyre sizes?

Was up at my guru's garage so put the Foz on the ramps it needs a little clean but its fitted with cucso front and rear braces as you can see but main reason was to measure the exhaust and low and behold it measures the exact same as a classic and is also 3 sections like a classic so thats good news and can look for a replacement centre section .

Well removed the passenger light got replacement ready to fit and noticed a major stumbling block bloody headlight connectors are totaly different so wont be fitting them bummer might just strip mine and paint them instead .
|
Well got board tonight so made use of the quiet time and stripped the lights ready for the transplant onto mine 😁😁

Food for thought went to see we restore alloys and they showed me a swatch of rays bronze not sure if it be to light or right against the blue .
|
Refurbed yours I gather with rays/Volks bronze ?

I think will look smart , seen a few blue r34 gtr wearing ce28n's and there blue isn't far of yours so I imagine will suit, nice dark shade of bronze .
Funny as been looking at the rota fighters in bronze for myself |
Here we go lets see what bhp the FOZ is producing 😀😀

Exciting!
|
being mapped or just a power run?

283bhp and 325torq Also see she is running rich so looks like a new maf is on the cards . Also the boost tales off so thats interesting aswell so will get a smoke test done to see if any leaks . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1afc74c738.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...08adebdbba.jpg Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk |
Nice result mate and glad it’s given you information to work on..
|
it could be mapped to to tail the boost off,
looks like the ecu could be pulling the timing back as couple of dips in the curve, |
Its possible that dyno and roads figures are different has here is the road figures of
310bhp and 362torque https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52a24c63f4.jpg Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk |
Starting a pile of parts for the Foz not much but its a start lol

Not always about what you start with, it’s where you are going. What’s your future plans, exhaust system related I guess?

I do like these and tried to convince Liz that she should buy one that popped up on PH the other day. Her response was " but it's a manual " :angst:

Looks good Scotty :ok:
|
Agreed looks spot on except I would have to do something with the ends as that don't look right IMO being to much past the bumper line if you know what I mean?

Quote:
Agreed - didn’t spot that... still got rubber and brake dust smoke in my eyes from yest! Ha ha |
And its all fitted just need to do the final end trims as didnt trim them short enough
