Zoe Yellow Spider

[EvoMan 116]

Zoe yellow and blue style looks very good. Very rare also. Your Spider looks so good.?

[EvoMan 116]

So good. No question mark. On my iPhone I cannot edit posts.

So it was not a question ;-)

I don't know what you done here?! Changing the center console?

The new one is blue?

Did you changed the lower part with shifter, handbrake? I'm interested in if you still have it in perfect condition???

The part around the centre 3 ventilation openings. You need to remove the dashboard to do this.

the black parts of the center console. above and below.

 

the original is more shiny. the new center console comes from a 2001 spider Edition elegant which is a little flatblack of color. 

[Alfaduden 226]

To be honest, that was a hard thing to notice! But when you say it, it does seem to be matte

[Paso 239]

You are crazy! But I like it. You are one of us I see... two days just to change the color? No problemos...

[Damgreg 94]

Ok this is what I though! So the skin is not the same now. My 01 dad's spider has the same console with black leather and gray carpet. 

Im still interested in your old lower part for my spider

My spider is in at the garage for what maintenance and MOT.

the brakes had to be refurbished for the apk. so the upgrade set came out nice.

also de valves neded som adjustment.

 

 

the first day I was called by the garage owner.

the brackets did not fit.

they were skewed machined and to flat 

 

now I'm looking for and so few brackets that do fit. 

 

 

 

 

the 2nd day I was called again.

the camshafts are worn out.

 

so there is no point to adjust valves.

at the end of this year, or early next year the spider gets new Camshafts and a new timing belt. (the 3rd in 2.5 years)

[GTV-TB 315]

A bit retarded cam timing? power delivery still good?

[butt head 43]

no no retarded camshaft timing.

power delivery is still good. There is also no tapping of the valves.

 

early last year I got even a compliment of Joris the guy with the C4 wheels. that my spider ran so beautiful.

Thanks.

 

Was thinking more of if the wear on the intake cam lobe perhaps shifted/retarded the camshaft timing a little bit, not that the camshaft timing was retarded by itself.

[butt head 43]

It's just wear caused by old age,

if you look to the exhaust cam you can see even what drag marks. 

 

 

the engine also has 170,000 km made

Beautiful Spider!!! Waouh!!! I became fan of Zoé colour.

[butt head 43]

Finally the brakes are mounted.

 

[butt head 43]

today I washed the spider, there was a lot of dirt from a drive and garage. 

 

had a nice little driving around after washing and took some photo's

Great looking car  .

What brake pads did you use? How is the braking with the new setup  ?

[butt head 43]

the brake response is better than original. 

i have not tried them That well 

 

the brake pads are Falco SP2000 and the discs are from M-tec

[Damgreg 94]

It looks crazy!

Looks near perfection to me! 

The ride height looks just right.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the M-tec discs. The price is tempting compared to other slotted discs.

I have no complain about the mtec brake discs 

 

 

I have to make an emergency stop last weekend with the spider.

There came an old couple in a large lexus out of a parkinglot without looking. 

 

I can tell you that the continental sportcontact 3 tires don't have enough grip over a rough road (all small stones in the tarmac)

 

 

 

ps the brakes worked well enough not to crash in to the lexus

so again today i collected a few parts.

a window motor with dropdown function and a complete lock set with code card and master key, which didn't came with the spider.

 

and for later this years there are is still a cople of updates. 

because the engine has a few leaks and worn camshafts. I plan to do this, then he gets also a 6 speed gearbox. from a gtv 3.0 24v

[Paso 239]

Great upgrade! It's good to know they already paid off!
