M, That's very helpful thank you! I prefer the sound of a small hole and squirt lube in rather than grease nipples, at least then you can get lighter ones in as it were lol :) Will research Z4 Forum now. Don't mind doing it myself just want to see exactly where to drill. Cheers for the tip re roof m...

Z3M Jason

Hi Maurice, Thank you for the advice, I thought that's the situation!! Where are you based? Anywhere in the south? Might ask for a supervisory eye if I need to drill it!! It is non existent when cold, first start but gets sticky after a few minutes. Wondered if it might be the bottom UJ? Thanks, Jason

Z3M Jason

Hi guys, Well I've been away for a good few years!! Excuse the lack of hello message, I'm in my iPhone and away having just got back in the Z fold with a 2004 Z4 3.0....Bought yesterday and realised on the way home it appears to have thus sticky steering problem :( Initial solutions seem to be drill...

Z3M Jason

I have free for collection a used but slightly damaged S50 lightweight flywheel and clutch. It is essentially okay I think but would benefit from checking by an engineering firm on a lathe to make sure its still perfectly balanced. Basically had it on my car and it came loose, fortunately right outs...

Z3M Jason

Missed the 6th March run but hope to do one of the upcoming events...
Post up and drop me a PM if you are going!

Wont be in the Z3M though...

Z3M Jason

Ragtop, well its not Z related sadly but it is savagely quick.....

Z3M Jason

Guys, sorry I cant make it now! The M has gone.......was hoping to come in the new toy but I am picking it up on Sunday so cannot make it

( Very sorry....
Jason

Z3M Jason

I know of a VERY good S50, low miles too.....

Z3M Jason

Nudge!

Z3M Jason

Does it come with LM's!? lol....very cool!

Z3M Jason

Jontt, Thanks for the comments! Currently the standard steering wheel is fitted so no airbag problems... The brakes are superb, from cold through to track use. They never fade just work consistently. A very good setup in my opinion! With regards the wheels I have no spacers on the front but have a 1...

Z3M Jason

Well I have a Coupe waiting for me!! Cant wait....

Z3M Jason

Cheers James! But its gonna make way for something even more special

Spread the word....its gotta go sadly!

Z3M Jason

Hi All, Well finally she has to go! Some of you know my car but to those that dont it is in superb condition and its an opportunity to grab a very special car indeed. I will consider serious offers but will not consider a P/X, I already have a M family replacement ready for collection....... See the...

Z3M Jason

Ragtop,
I am trying to get a mate to come in his Coupe as well.....will let you know if he can make it!

Not cheap but try here.

Thanks mate for the link, looks very good but HOW EXPENSIVE!?

May have to go this route....unless Monsier Shanty comes trumps

Z3M Jason

Shanty,
Meet me in Eastbourne on route and we can go across in convoy if you fancy? Couple of Arctic Silver M's would be great!
And any other folk coming across from the West, could meet at Eastbourne Pier at 8am then head to the Cruise start point?

Z3M Jason

That must me some kind of photoshop hoax surely!

Z3M Jason

I am in for sure! Just down the road from me

Awesome roads around, Camber, Rye and Lydd....used to blast these on the Bike. I will be there please keep us posted on time etc!

Z3M Jason

James,
Have you found a sub enclosure!? I badly need the lid to the middle storage box between the seats if you happen to make the change!!!
Sorry bit cheeky but dont ask dont get LOL
Alternatively if you know where to get a sub enclosure that fits like OEM I would be very interested to.....
Jason

Z3M Jason

If you are going to do this you may as well try and spend a little more and get a lightweight flywheel too! That seems to cheap for a decent new clutch to me.

Z3M Jason

Sounds good to me! Have posted on the other thread.

Z3M Jason

Just moved back to East Susex from France and would be great to have a meet sometime! Anyone suggested a date or location yet??

Z3M Jason

Michael,
Google B C Racing and you will get their details, Mine are being fitted on Thursday so will let you know.
Also although I have some interest in them already, I will be selling my H&R coilovers. The 2 front damper units need a rebuid though. Apparently circa £75 per unit.

Z3M Jason

Steve, Yes a remap (of good quality) is worth while, particularily with a simota to compliment it. It takes a few hundred miles to really show its full effects but you will notice the difference and get a nice subtle induction roar as a bonus! I think Evolve reckon on 12-15bhp for that combined pack...

Z3M Jason

AM just about to fit a set of B C Racing coilovers to replace my H&R setup. These units came in at a very reasonable £650......watch this space!

Z3M Jason

Thanks guys! We will see what happens.....
Shanty, will let you know about the LMs if I separate them from the car!

Z3M Jason

I am biased but a highly tuned 3.2 M straight six lump sounds pretty gnarly! Though my old Alfa GTV 3.0 with race cats, straight exhaust, carbon intake, remap and lightweight flywheel sounded pure evil.... Porsche flat six got be up there as well, they sound so good... Merry Christmas all!! :dunce: ...

Z3M Jason

Stu, Thanks mate! Basically I am fed up with having 2 cars in France so sold one and looking to ultimately get something bigger. I want a Audi Quattro Turbo of some kind S4, RS etc etc maybe also S3....Turbo is a must as I like my speed ;) Obviously I would bring the "M" to the UK for view...

Z3M Jason

Hi All, Firstly Merry Christmas to everyone!! Secondly I am considering selling my "M" spec as follows: 1998 Arctic Silver with black hood and Imola/Black leather Z3M Roadster:- MAC Motoren Airbox, Alpha-N and Uni Q chip, MAF Removed, Schrick 284 Cams, Underdrive Pulleys, JJB Competition F...

Z3M Jason

Shanty,
Really not managed to find any?? Thought by now some would have turned up! That makes them rather valuable then....excellent! Well keep looking mate sure some time a set will come up! Have you managed some mods yet?
Jason

Z3M Jason

Shanty, "...these cars are getting on 10-12 years old, stone chips, worn seals and the occasional bit of bubbling comes part of the package"

Not on mine it aint!!!

Z3M Jason

LOL yup that ain't lazy!!

Z3M Jason

Gazza!
Mmmmm is nitrous safe these days? Dont know to much about it. That would be mental....
Do I get the sense you may be doing a V conversion?! Mustang looks very sweet!

Z3M Jason

Hey Tony! Hope you are well mate? Well it is becoming clear that seats first is the way forward..... No not done headers, was advised to leave them alone!? Do you know something I dont?? Problem I have now is the car lives in the south of france so its a bit of a turd trying to get anything sorted o...

Z3M Jason

Very good mate!! But that would take all the character out of the engine IMO!!! And I would have to take out the cams, airbox etc etc.....All of which make it so special!! Did consider this route though, I think that sort of power really needs to be in the coupe for rigidity reasons! Well we shall s...

Z3M Jason

Hmmm interesting thoughts! No I wont be racing it on track but I do spank it up and down the Route Napoleon fairly frequently and other very very good roads. My sensible side says leave it alone unless changing the seats because any gains sorry losses :lol: will be neglible in comparison. There is n...

Z3M Jason

Sorry to throw this one in but my H&R Coilovers have died and I want to replace them, has anyone tried the V Maxx coilovers??
They seem VERY cheap at £349........too cheap??

Z3M Jason

Hi folks, I am considering putting the M on a diet! Has anyone stripped the interior to some degree? Obviously the seats weight a lot but I am reluctant to loose them because they are comfortable and heated for winter drives. I was considering removing carpet and sound deadening throughout and possi...

Z3M Jason

I would recommend a specialist called A Plan 01635874646.
My policy with ALL mods covered on a like for like replacement basis was about £525 fully comp with £250 excess.

Worth a try!

Z3M Jason

Looks like Tomlins to me.....nice car!!

Z3M Jason

I am running a set of Falken 452's currently and they are absolutley fine in wet and dry......In fatc I had an 11 hour straight drive through France in torrential rain all the way and the car was very composed. Now its hot here and I give them some serious abuse, they are great. Gets a BIG thumbs up...

Z3M Jason

I believe they were fitted to some. They are however crap and always break at some point.....yours may have broken and been removed!!

Z3M Jason

Steve,
Just do a search on youtube for "z3m remus" or "e36 m3 remus".....you'll get some idea.

Z3M Jason

Because they are regarded as the best for BMW's.....not cheap but very good. There are enough suppliers in the UK. Unless you are gonna do other mods to complement the cams though I would say it aint worth the expense really.

Z3M Jason

For BMW's only Schrick cams.....

Z3M Jason

I have H&R coilovers and very happy. Not to firm despite running 18" wheels but good handling and height adjustable. Reasonable price to.

Z3M Jason

Steve, Just noticed this post! I now run Prospeeds with 100cell cats, defo the better looking and sounding setup I have run thus far. Previously I had Supersprint boxes then Supersprin De-cat and boxes. I would recommend not going decat but defo 100 cell cats. Prospeed will make you a handmade syste...

Z3M Jason

Great stuff thanks for thoughts! I will be going for red then. Sadly going to have to find someone in France to do it as I go back there tomorrow....
As and when will post some pics!
