Got the Z up on a ramp today and gave it a thorough dose of cavity wax incuding all underside seems, I have decided to leave the plastic jacking points of the car as they are of no use to me can can only cause problemes in the future, if you carry a spare I would suggest removing them and just keep one in your boot for jacking up on,
Oh and had another moment today whilst test driving, :eek:

The jacking points are where I put my axle stands. Never used them as a jacking point though ;)

I do the opposite, I use the jacking points to lift the car and put the stands elseware, I lift the the front jacking point and then put stands under that side as the whole side is off the ground

I think you need a brick under the loud pedal Sean;). Seriously take it steady for a bit, it would be terrible to damage it after all the work you've done to it.:thumbsup:

You have to remember how light they at the rear and with the torque it’s easy to make a mistake with a tad of provocation it takes a bit getting used to with damp cold roads, mine caught me out a few times the once just pulling away to turn right I got it so wrong and did a 180.

Take care Sean spring will be here soon enough I’d hate to read you’d binned it after all your hard work I’d would like to admire it in the flesh at one of next seasons outings.
