I'm Starting A 400/45/ZS Modding Resource Site-wanna help?

Post by Kaine_2k »

Hey people.

I'm starting a 400 modding info website, because I find it really hard to get info on how to do mods / where to buy parts etc for my 400 and want to do my bit to make it easier for others.

Can you ppl look at what I've done so far - at www.kaineworld.co.uk/400 - and give me any suggestions etc.

I also want to feature other people's cars and how to guides on there. So if you want yours on, or can contribute some info toward the site then please PM/email me.

thanks all

(P.S I couldn't find any rules about advertising websites on these forums, so I trust this is ok. No doubt I'll be told off if it isn't!)

I'll cobble together a guide for retro fitting the r45/zs wing mirrors at some point.

Thanks dude, I'm planning on working on some better graphics soon, get it looking more proffesh.

Any shape 400/45/ZS, I'm not fussy... the main thing is that most people with 400's (or very similar) should be able to use most of the info should they want to.

I've just done some updating to the site, it's looking abit better now.

Definitely lacking in content though. If you have a 400 then consider getting me to feature it on there. doesn't matter how plain it is, just look at mine...

more modding guides needed too. I'll be adding my own bonnet lifter installation guide once I've done it.

Cheers.

You can now get to the website using either: www.kaineworld.co.uk/400 OR www.MOD400.tk

However the latter comes with advert banners and a popup, so it's probably best to use my main one.

Your car's on there now BobSli...

I went out with my camera before and after work today, and took a lad of pictures to use on the site, so I've updated it graphically and I think it's much more pleaseing to the eye now. also updated pics of my own car.

Don't forget to keep me informed if you do any more mods to add to the spec... (you can write guides while you're ding them; hint hint...)

Definitely, I was considering a 'where to buy' section as it's often hard to find what you're looking for.

I expect I'll be in touch about that.

Cheers

(I actually just ordered some bonnet lifters from you for my 400!)

Awwww and don't it look good now? hehe

I reckon sections on:

How to - already there
Where to buy - companies that sell the various rover bits n bobs.
Where to find info - RT maybe?
Good links
FAQ's - such as max wheel size without rubbing etc.
Gallery - loads of 400's with all sorts of mods so people can see the variation

Thats all I can think of right now...

I am quite interested in this but only in respect of mechanical upgrades.
I have already fitted ZS180 springs and dampers to my 99 420. Next up is to fit ZS180 front and rear anti-roll bars, and then ZS steering rack.

Will keep you posted with developments.

Adrian Williams.
