Re: wheel merchant comes unstuck?
To be fair, I also hope to change the handling characteristics of it from an articulated boat riding a slightly chopy sea to something more like a car.[/quote The experts don't agree with you, they voted it better that an Evo. and Ferrari :D :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q5SVHpN_CU Hi there! ...

Re: Z3 Strut braces
Great idea. Make it over here. Hundreds of one/ two man steel engineers could set up for this. Find one who likes the idea of a modest regular income and negotiate the cost of making an accurate jig. Even easier are the bottom cross and longitudinal braces. I'm about to pay nearly a grand for the st...

Re: wheel merchant comes unstuck?
hi jonette thanks for replying Yes i'm impetuous. Your right. I should have set the suspention first and worked around that. The milage when I bought it was 25,000. The handling hasn't changed since then. It had been driven very sedately. I know this because after I was offered (to my great surprise...

Re: Bertini GT25 - new Z3 body change kitcar
hi choc. it must have taken you some time! So full applause, you are what this country needs. Here is my appraisal/critisism I think the back is great. Agrressive and stylish but simple. Simplicity being the key to successful design. subtleties could be brought in with detailing/accentuating exhaust...

Re: wheel merchant comes unstuck?
hi Gazza! :) Thanks for info. My measuring must be reasonable, your figure is very close to my calculation. Could perhaps have been 30 et on front. but there is still room on rear for small spacer. I once followed a green fastback out from a show and down the road five miles. I wished my little rena...

Re: wheel merchant comes unstuck?
Thankyou dino d :wink: I think we have the same mindset. Just because a car comes out of a factory doen't mean it's as good as it could be. The BC's! Yes. I looked at them yesterday and thought them good quality and possible. Cheap products really do waste money. I did wonder if their extra diameter...

Re: wheel merchant comes unstuck?
Hi mike. Thanks for getting thread started. Yes I have the correct bore and pcd. If you saw these wheels your heart would melt. And if you saw how top heavy my newly fitted hardtop makes my car look you would ackowledge that asthetic change is neccessesary to recreate balance. I will only engage in ...

Re: 3.0L =- what tyres?
Ive just fitted good year as a replacement to michelin. Didn't make a positive differance. You cant make a badly set up car handle well with just tyres. Sure, expensive tyre's usually give good grip, are longer lasting, and quieter. But mid priced tyres are probably adequate for standard z's in my o...

wheel merchant comes unstuck?
ive finally gone insane. I just spent too much money on some rare wheels because I thought they might look the part on my 3.0 z3. To be fair, I also hope to change the handling characteristics of it from an articulated boat riding a slightly chopy sea to something more like a car. I realise the car ...
