Thanks for the new replies guys. To answer an earlier post, the garage did all proper tests to diagnose the problem. Theyre a great lot and are not adverse to accepting folding vouchers at a lower price! But the whole thing has left me wishing that I'd kept my TVR Chimaera which never went wrong! So...

Well guys, after working like a slave for the summer I've finally got the cash spare for the fix! The heads going off tomorrow to be mended with a skim and re-fit of everything. As I've been in contact with the guys at Qualitycylinderheads.co.uk over the summer not only have they knocked off the VAT...

Well heres an update. Its not the gasket but its the head thats cracked! No idea how or why. Had a gas exchange test done and it comes up positive. So, a new head needed. Any ideas guys?

Sorry its been a while for my reply but work kills what little spare time I seem to get. Anyway, the garage picked the car up on Weds of last week. They started it first time with no problem. It was a very rough idle sounding quite like a two stroke moped instead of a silky straight six! After looki...

Thats just what my car did. Just without the flames as far as I know! Thanks for the replies all, I really appreciate it. I'll keep you posted on developments.

Thanks for the replies guys but when I say lots of white smoke I mean LOTS of white smoke! The car was driven daily for work. Standard temp seemed to be reached as was doing about 5 miles each way. Thanks again.

Today i had a horrid shock. When i started my 2001 Z3 3.0 all i saw was white smoke. Has my head gasket blown? The heater has been working fine, there has been no rough running and it has always started fine. Theres been a little mayo under the filler cap but i believe this to be common on cars only...

Well guys and girl I need help. A while ago i was sideswiped by a fast moving VW Polo and although the body damage was limited to a pushed in rear arch, it seems to have left me with a problem. The car wobbles violently through the steering wheel at all speeds and the drivers front tyre seems to be ...

They look interesting.The theory is quite sound and i like the ide of being able to tune the sound.The tip looks great too.Very different to the standard look.There is a pic of a Z with one fitted on google.Il try to find it later.
I think il stick with the UUC TSE3 though. They sound superb.

Justin thats exactly what i was going to say!But i still think opening that panel up in the lower mouth as well will improve things further.The cone housed behind the bumper is still my fav option and this sounds perfect.

Ive been thinking more about this and remembered a mod i did to my old Honda CRX.I installed the ubiquitous 57i but cot a hole in the front bumper to feed air directly to the filter.I angled a piece of pipe upwards to stop any rain being sucked in and surrounded the hole with a chrome ring.Looked fi...

Now that my foot has een surgicaloy removed from my molars, i have a question. Well a comment/thought. Instead of installing all this pipe, which is an exceloent idea and installation, would it be possible to house a cone in this space piped up to the maf? Its well away from any heat source, its eas...

Foot duely inserted!

Well after an hour of ignoring the female i have trawled my net history and found the page im after - http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8918 Interesting!

Thanks for that link. Its not the one im looking for but usefull nonetheless. The link im after is about re-routing the air ducts involving front bumper removal.

Now this may just be a 'me' thing as ive tried searching and cant find it but i remember reading a superb piece about how to build your own intake system to replace the standard.Can anyone remember this and poss link it in?I ask as im looking for a diagram of the standard intake system routing as i ...

Ive found this page through another on this forum and love the look of the spoiler. It finishes off the rear perfectly. Does anyone know where i could purchase such an item?

Thanks for the replies guys esp for the offer of the photo mockup. I do like the M style box and thats prob the easiest option. That system must bolt straight on and just needs a new rear valance (if they're the same fitment on the facelift model). I think it would give it a classic British sports l...

Have a look at this guys. Sounds interesting. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?feature...&v=qjVJaeHR2xQ

Ive been thinking about trying different exhaust systems from the standard ss replacement to a beautiful twin in twin out system.But ive decided that a centre exiting, twin outlet system would loom great.Or a central oval/rhomboid shape. Has anyone ever tried this and does anyone have any thoughts o...
