Firstly apologies to Mighty Quinn. I owe you some photos.
I have been so busy during this mad period with CV-19 lock down I have not had much time to myself.
So firstly for you mate some photos of the canister moved to fit the double exhaust. Hopefully this shows how far I moved it and how it was re mounted to allow the drivers side silencer to pass by

And finally some pictures of the car on the road with her new lower stance.
i think it suits the ZT and with all the work I did on the suspension the ride is not what I would call hard. My Supra has a more solid ride si happy with the outcome and the look.

This is probably as far as I can take this thread to be honest as everything apart from a full engine rebuild has been done on this car and she is now how I would like her. I still have to get to Lynn in Newton Abbot for the message IPK fit and T4 but that will have to wait until we are out of these mad times
If a MOD wants to sticky this or move it elsewhere for a record for others to use thats fine by me.
Thanks to the following suppliers who I have used whilst doing this:-
fellow members. This club really is one of the best
Matt and DMGRS
Trikey and the other numerous traders who I have spent money with
Rimmers. Yep had to use them at times
MG mania
Kayfast who I used for most of the fastenings
I have not added up the invoices in the folder
, maybe one day
Hope people have and will find this useful as a reference and thanks for all the comments it is appreciated.
I will stay around the forum because this car is a keeper and its a superb place to be. I will be driving her daily as the commuter so normal issues for this marque will arise
My next project will be taking my time in the garage so another forum is where I am reading and asking questions as I know little of these cars.
She is an Alfa 159 2.4 with 80K on the clock in top spec. Mapped to 260BHP and 400Nm torque. Superb to drive and quite a few jobs already done which these cars need.
. I will be giving her the same treatment as the Zed.
but I am sure the Italian engineering will push my limits
