Definitely the same car! for £5k more than I sold it for! ive had a text conversation with the buyer this morning who says he is spending £2k - 3K on it hence the price jump. Lol I know of who bought it. Don't know him personally and he does not really do forums but he is a trader of sorts. He buys...

The premium auto watch services eg Rolex include a full refurb I've the watches some back like new but you do pay for it I've c£500. Wit so many good fakes around you also get a form of insurance if your looking to sell and don't have original box and papers. Two years is a bit regular for me. My Na...

Anyone into super rep watches? Sent from my iPhone Got be genuine for me. Let's face it a "cheap" Quartz movement is more accurate, you are buying into a brand/history etc.... Etc... So simply don't see the point of a fake one :shock: Some of the high end fakes are very very good eg Rolex...

To clarify I was not referring to automatic lights on the Range Rover which I think most cars have now, I agree that is proven technology. The Range Rover has intelligent full beam ie if it senses it's ok it auto switches on full beam and then reverts to dipped when it needs to. I don't know how it ...

Jonttt

I've found LED running lights annoying since Audi first made them popular (at least Volvos where old type bulbs). They have two brightness levels but often just seem too bright when light levels are duskish. I was shocked to find that on Range Rovers they now have "intelligent" headlights....

I'm there on the Saturday, but not in a BMW. Will be visiting the Z3's though and a good friend of mine has booked in with his Alpina Z4.

A new daily driver has joined the stable.......

I had a look at the car last week, first time I've seen it in over 6 months, the good news is it's still there :lol: Problem is the cover is getting a nice layer of dust on it now and I did not want to lift it as I like the effect, it could be a cardboard cutout under here :shock: Can't believe it's...

Yep sold them on the coupe forum

Jonttt

They are ///M fitment, sorry I forgot they did other versions, I've only actually seen them on the ///M s

Jonttt

I have a brand new boxed set somewhere but not sure where they are following a house move a couple of years ago. Not much used to you but I'm sure they must be in the garage attic with other rare parts I have. I'll have to dig them out one day

Jonttt

Ah, your converting to air cooled

Welcome back, I don't visit here much these days but will check in for your updates

Jonttt

Schnitzer did not make the roll bars, they are made by another company I forget the name of now, something like alumex in Germany. They are tuv approved as are the OEM hoops. It worth noting the windscreen and seat backs are the main rollover protection.

Dealers often leave cars up for sale that have sold to generate enquiries, helps the cynics state cars are overpriced and don't sell

993 :twisted: The problem with jap cars (and I hasten to add I've had most back in the day, x3 scoobies, x2 200SX, x2 300ZX, x1 S2000, x1 type R, most from new) is that plastic interiors do not age well. I never got on with V-tech engines and the S2000 was like blackpool illuminations, did my head i...

Jonttt

Thanks for taking the trouble to update the thread. That's great to know

Jonttt

Never an official option for the Z3.

The largest official,options at the time where 18 inch AC Schitzers

Plus I did not think the 7 series wheel offsets would ever fit a Z3 but I'm a little rusty with those specs

I would politely suggest the seller is, erm talking a load o bollocks

Jonttt

Very nice, I seen more of yours than mine in the past 2 years lol

Jonttt

I have no issue with the car or price, I'm actually surprised it's not priced a little higher by them BUT the advert I think could have been worded better

high end dealer I have high expectations for them to get everything right, especially the advert

Jonttt

add seems ok to me! perhaps if one was to be pedantic the 73 thing is not the whole truth, but I would suppose the fact its a uk based dealers and they are talking about uk RHD cars so its no biggie imo best colour, (it was the most popular choice for a reason!) full black leather rather than the (...

Jonttt

Mmmmm, seems a bit misleading to state there where only 73 S54's........there where on 73 right hand drive S54's..... And it states it has all the options which it does not eg it's not got side airbags. It does have a strong strut brace though. Personally I'd rather have a rarer Imola one with some ...

Jonttt

The 2.2 is my fav none ///M Z3, my brother had a yellow one for a while, great engine note and suits the Z3 so well

Always looks good in Estoril which until that time had been a BMW ///M colour only

Your about 12 months too late

Very nice.

You may get some rub on the front with lowered suspension, mine just catch the liner but nothing to worry about

I'm just doing the Sunday this year, I've not decided yet if I'll travel down the night before or not, see you there

Jonttt

There are better "safer" options if you have a single stage system ie raid (goes by other names)

Jonttt

Unfortunately it's not as simple as just swapping. Without going into too much technical detail as its all been posted before the 2 main issues are: Getting the slipring to fit Fitting a 2 stage airbag to a single stage system ie pre 04/99 production Z3, although possible to physically fit could, we...

Welcome to the S54 club, if you look in the M section there is a database of all 73 cars if you want to find yours

H&P also fitted units for porsche GB to bring the cars in line with UK spec in the 1990's. My 993 has the pa1000 system which superseded the one you have (with the immobilsor blade I think it was a pa100). I've left mine in as they are good systems. It is possible to remove them and replace with...

You still got the z1 and CSL ?

Oh my plan is to drive it again as a hobby car, one day

In terms of "mods" I hit my goal on those a few years ago ie ran out of things I wanted to do / buy even semi associated with the car, lots of which I have no idea where I put

Jonttt

I plan to keep it into retirement as my hobby car. My other toys will be sold then as part of my pension and to reduce my day to day spends ;-) Its a simple decision to me, I don't need the money and I could not buy anything better for that money, better than money in the bank ie it would be a stupi...

There was a nice Imola S50 Z3m Roady and DaveP's always immaculate coupe on show..... http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt322/jonttt/_Porsche%20993/2015-05-30%2011.32.26.jpg http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt322/jo...

Jonttt

Mmmmmm I find having a basic idea rule of thumb saves wasted money in the long run but good luck getting them to fit without a slam dunk camber & stretch look ( unless that floats your boat)

Jonttt

Not sure the rears will fit unless you have a Z3m. 5 series are usually the wrong offset for a none ///M z3 all round. General rule of thumb is .... None ///M Z3 = 3 series offsets all round ///M Z3 = 3 series offset front, 5 series offset rear. Spacers can then fine tune. Ps ac schnitzer made the t...

Jonttt

Worse than that , they usually deduct it from the retailer

Jonttt

5 series wheels won't fit and depending which 5 series they where off the bore may wrong as well. Also I would not fit a cracked wheel that's been welded You really should research the offsets and bores before buying wheels and not just assume they will fit, not so much of a bargain when they don't ...

Hi, welcome but we need piccies

Jonttt

Apologies as I've not had time to real all of this thread but here is my tuppence worth..... The debate has been had recently on the porsche forums due to the every rising value of the air cooled cars. The Z3m's I think fit into this principle but with a lesser "risk" in comparison but non...

Jonttt

Assuming you have OEM hoops now ? They are very easy to remove, I'm sure then guide linked above shows how. In terms of fitting the AC Schnitzer hoops they are usually a very very tight fit, you will need a good soft mallet and cardboard to protect them to get them in. They can take a real bashing w...
