Tony.

Probably this one after next Saturday!

Why do you need pads and brake fluid if you are racing? its about going not stopping, surely?

 

[t-tony]

I bet you'll love driving that Andy.

What tyres are you running?

Accellera 651 sport - I’m on a budget! Being a Z3 parts mercenary is not as well paid as people think

They look the business - hopefully they’ll work as good as they look. Looking forward hearing how it goes. Have a great time!

She’s getting spoilt now

I’d have thought you’d just cut the other springs down to match…you are getting fancy now you’re a z4 driver…

Great day at Lydden Hill today.

Lightly glazed discs, very warm pads

lots of cooling down required

Made a friend !

These made the zed look BIG!

Never thought I’d see the day……

Car is being borrowed by a friend at the weekend, thought I should make the roof less green

Why stop there? Headlights barely transparent and full of condensation. So new OEM covers (see the difference old vs. new) fitted after a good heat gunning.

body work taped up and headlights sanded and polished up. Very pleased with the results. Let’s hope they’re water tight!

It’s a slippery slope you’re on. Be careful, you might get attached…

Much better, I find the Z4 platform brilliant for track. So so much faster over the Z3.

I'm doing something similar with a 2003 3.0. Part track car, part weekend cruiser.

I see you fitted a thicker front ARB. I've found that a thicker rear ARB makes a huge difference. I've got my rears adjusted max firm and the fronts max soft.
