I've got cruise control on the 75 auto and love using it, makes a long drive so much nicer and very useful in the average speed zones. I'm giving myself a whole weekend to do it just to be safe Phil gave me some of the plugs I needed which was helpful

I loved it on the return trip! Was so nice not to use pedals! Yeah, you can run the wires and then go back to it to and plug them all in! Hardest part is wiring the switch in! From my observations anyway

Should be good, just need to order the right spec wire to use from online and then find the time to do it, probably when it's a bit warmer CC has already been enabled by Phil and I have the brake and clutch switches so just need to wire up the rest

I'm also currently in the progress of spraying a spare set of door cards blue to match my blue alcantara seats, hopefully will be done in a few weekends time. And now also have the plugs I need for the Cruise Control retrofit so will make a start on that in the near future

Just remembered this thread I started a while back, thought I'd post a quick update to keep this progress thread going

Progress with mods have been delayed this year due to an issue I had with the ZT for 3 months which has now been resolved.

so far this year I've upgraded the front brakes to a 190 set up with mtec discs and pads (got a set of rear 190 calipers to fit at some point), fitted cruise control and have also painted the engine cover in typhoon

190 Brakes





Cruise Control Fitting:
Had to take a lot apart to fit this as I didn't have the wiring in place but was well worth it







And finally the engine cover:






Also fitted a shiny fuse box lid cover and a chrome oil cap


All coming together nicely Also fitted 4 brand new injectors which has made the engine quieter and run better

Will be putting the mods on hold for now until September as I'm currently studing for my next two ACA exams which is taking up all of my time at the moment. Hopefully later this year I'll have the battery box lid sprayed to match the engine cover and paint the coolant expansion tank in black which should complete the engine

Cheers,
Rick

Coming along nicely mate.
You heading to the Halfway House Sunday? I also see there's a Kent meet at Chatham docks which looks good too. Undecided...
