How much did the vanos cost if you don't mind me asking.

aceman

The theory was correct then about the heat soak. I wonder if you could additionally shield it from the engine or provide some air cooling onto that part.

aceman

Nice one glad you got that one sorted. How about the hot starting have you changed the Ali inlet to plastic to in theory alleviate the heat soak.?

aceman

Little bump before summer breaks full cover, always got plenty of bushes in stock so just contact me if you need a set.

aceman

Very nice sounds like you have got yourself essentially a good ///M there that just needs a little TLC. You know where I am for the seat bushes and having done them before I am sure you will get them rattled off within the hour, let me know if you also need a badge refurb kit.

aceman

Sorry guys I would have led you the way but I have defected this year to another show.

Hope you all have a great day.

aceman

I won't be attending unfortuantly this year as it clashes with the Custom and Modified Car Show at Sherburn Aerodrome which I want to attend this year.

Hope you all have a good time though guys.

aceman

One word sacrilege !

It was a good day despite the weather, my daughter enjoyed her first club outing with Daddy anyway so that made me happy.

Cheers

Hey John how are you ?

Are you hampering after for another zed yet

aceman

Hey Pingu I didn't realise you were on with this job too otherwise I would have had a natter with you at Billz cruise earlier this month. I also have a spare set of silencers that I have totally gutted and removed all the baffles from inside so mine will be interesting when fitted. :wink: I have wel...

aceman

I will hopefully be there.

aceman

It usually is to be fair but most of the interest comes in the last week when people get to know what thr weather is going to be like so there is time yet.

aceman

Never too far away from your wooly friends ehh Moz !

aceman

Happy to hear you got them fitted and it has transformed your driving experience.

aceman

Just to let all you guys know seat bushes still available and posted worldwide so get your zeds ready for the forthcoming spring weather.

Just give me a PM or email and I will send you purchase details.

aceman

Yep always have stock just drop me a pm or email.

Hi Bill, Sorry what we did didn't last which is a shame. I think the reason we couldn't read the abs module is probably due to the fault and not communicating with anything and the error was cleared as that resides in the ecu so because the abs module has stopped communicating with the ecu is what i...

aceman

I should be there again as it was a great day last year despite being bitter cold as Pete says.

aceman

I am really taken with this and think it looks great. What is the quality of the wrap like up close like on the edges and complex curves. How do you go about cleaning and polishing it is it the same as a painted body and you wax it etc. ?

aceman

PM sent.

aceman

Hi,

Not sure on your location but I know Munich Legends will install these for you if you give them a ring. To be honest any decent indy will be able to fit them for you given the info on how to fit them.

aceman

Thanks Robert

Didn't rain on the Friday was it on the Sunday or Saturday evening after we left. ?

aceman

Yocky what age is your zed.

A quick search on realoem is telling me the 2.0 and 2.8 shared the same manifold so the pipes should be the same size but there was a variation where the manifold incorporated cats as well but not sure which ones were fitted with those.

aceman

Wondered when you were going to offer these up, I remember our conversation about them many moons ago.

aceman

Been there done that as they say ! :wink: The single most if not sole cause of tramlining is the choice of front tyres. I have played around with swapping wheels around and going from near on dangerous handling whith the steering wheel being wrenched from your grip when going over bumpy roads to abs...

aceman

Just a gentle bump to let people know these are still available just give me a PM and I will send details on how to order.

aceman

Ray, you can get Boge/sachs shocks from likes of Eurocarparts which are exactly the same as BMW ones except they are not stamped BMW. The alternative is to go Bilstein B8's but then would want to change fronts to match too. Bilsteins are painted canary yellow too which I don't like but they are supp...

The easiest way to distinguish between a S50B30 and S50B32 is that a B30 only has a single vanos whereas the B32 has a double vanos plus the rocker covers are different. I seriously doubt it would have had a B30 fitted as the wiring and ECU are different for each varient.

Notice you went back to RS Tuning to see Paul how is he doing ? You don't mention what bhp and torque you got or are you waiting until you have tweeked it to announce the news. :D Watch the dyno vid to the end and the graph and stats are shown :rtm: Ahh the video must have frozen before it ended.

I was talking to someone who wanted an estoril hardtop at the weekend so thought if you haf one I could grt you in touch. I don't want one though.

aceman

Have you got a hardtop as well Liam ?

aceman

Have you considered s VW T4 John or are they a bit too steep. My nephew runs his own business converting these and doing bespoke interiors, he does some pretty damn good conversions which make me want one at times.

aceman

Badges look good mate as does the car in fact stunning and a credit to what you have achieved so far.

aceman

I have just given the tool I made to DaveP over on the coupe forum to use and said he could pass it on when he finished with it. No o'rings though as I bought a complete new valve when I did mine.

aceman

Looks like I will be there, see you there John.

aceman

M52TU twin vanos 2.8's came fitted in Z3's from build date Oct '98 onwards.

aceman

If it is towards the rear it is quite possibly the oil constant pressure valve which is located at the back of the block on the drivers side. The O'Ring is known to fail after a few years and needs replacing which you can do either by sourcing a new O'Ring from a 3rd party supplier or purchasing a c...

New batch in, plenty available.

Thank you mcjazz for your advice about googling my car and also getting an aa report. I will look in to both For those who have asked, I had the car serviced before I bought it and nothing negative was picked up and my insurance company also said nothing. I literally found out two days ago when a p...

With regard to the inner ball joint nuts, access is alot easier from above by using extra long socket extensions or even snapping a few together to get around 1m in length. If you peer down the side of the engine from above you can clearly see the ball joint nuts and doing it this way allows you to ...

Received will get them posted out today for you.

The switch is known to fail so try that first. Also the mechanism can get jammed at its end of travel or indeed midstream if the original rubber seat bushes have disintigrated to the extent bits get caught in the thread and you will have to manually free it up. If you disconnect the motor and apply ...

Hi Pete, it was indeed s good day and it was good talking to you.

Hydraulic fluid you say

Be very careful if it is anything like brake fluid it will strip your paint if left long enough. Just hope the company guy is right and it is vegetable based, get it done asap would be my advice.
