My 2.8 Z3
My 2.8 Z3
Owned it for 2 weeks now and absolutely loving it.
This was how it was when i bought it. Not much of a shine and very tatty wheels. First job was to polish it profusely with a polishing machine and paint a couple of bits.

Welcome to you and your Z3!
That looks like it's got some interesting mods on it already.
Nice to see some more 'down south' owners joining up.

Hi
Is your exhaust actually functional on both sides or is the right hand side twin pipes cosmetic only?
The reason I ask is that I have looked at both options and the custom exhaust manufacturer actually talked me out of getting a functioning system made as he said it would be way too loud? I might go for the cosmetic only option instead.

They all work. Flames had them made. Around town and below 2500 rpm they sound great and pop and bang. Above that band on motorways theynare virtually silent. I'd like louder personally. Good quality though.Orinoco wrote:Hi

WOW - What a transformation - very nice work so far!!!
ADVICE: Use a soft towel to cover the outside ot the rearwindow when to take the top down - not the missus - that will help reducing scratches on the plastic window.
Please note that the torneau cover goes under the rubber seal...
I NEVER use mine - think it looks stupid and if it begins to rain it takes too long to close it

Busy day today. Took doorcards off and removed the tweeter grills. i sprayed them satin black and installed my new Pioneer tweeters. much bigger so some thinking required on fitting. I then took out the footwell speakers after spending a day not so long ago installing Sony speakers. These were removed and he Pioneers fitted alongside a load of Dynamat. I now have the resmblence of bass. It wont win any sound offs but its a whole lot better.
I the fitted a dash kit i got off Adam. Not sure at the moment but its better than the manky black interior it had. Id rather it was Carbon personally. Its getting there though.

"Bling" doesn't work for me at all I'm afraid, I much prefer your car with the black red/combo.
Have a look at THIS THREAD That's a nice subtle but effective change to the door speakers, just scroll down the thread a bit.
Just my opinion, don't take offence, I'm just not into all this shiny blingy glittery stuff that people are doing at the moment. But hey, if it rocks your boat then go for it .
I've only said something because you said you weren't sure

I appreciate that. Not sure myself but the black was getting tired and scratched. It can come off it's not a permanent thing.snoops wrote:"Bling" doesn't work for me at all I'm afraid, I much prefer your car with the black red/combo.

I think the dash kit has improved it no end, better than I thought it would, I fitted the chrome air vent surrounds and speaker grill surrounds a couple of years ago and really lifts the dash, if like mine you have black seats, black dash, black everything it can feel a bit gloomy with the hood up.
What is that going across the top of the door cards

Inbetween showers today i fitted some Jamex -40mm springs to the rear of the car. It had PI springs and shocks all round but i felt it looked to high at the rear.
This is with springs fitted. I guess there is slightly more settling to do. I will get some 15 mm spacers this week to bring them out. I cant lower the front anymore as it just rubs on full lock.
Saving for a paint job now. im looking at a Dark Silver that Ferrari use.

Loving the straight on rear shot, very aggressive! I have to say the quads look great on the that shape. You are also convincing me black grills work on a silver Z which I previously didn't like
The only thing which I'm not entirely sure about is the tinted tail lights, I think the M style half white half red would look better.
Very good styling though

Looks good mate them seats will come up ok with a refurb kit! I had the same red leather in mine and i'm not keen on the oregon leather so good choice with the nappa! Do you have any shots of the exhaust underneath the car just interested in how the pipeworks done for the additional exit? Thanks Daz
Great journal! Your car looks fantastic, loving the whole style you have created. Definatly the best modified pre facelift zed I've ever seen, keep up the good work!
