Hi All

I would like to tag along, if you don't mind. Just got mine back on the road. Much appreciated if you could keep me informed of the time you are all meeting up.

Thanks.

Does look the business ! Feel a sprint to the continent coming on !! Maybe get enough people and get a group buy from the factory

Hi Chaps. I've just ordered the Royal Steering wheel upgrade myself. This is only an interim measure, as I'm researching the use of the E46 M3 wheel steering wheel, which I believe is smaller. The RAID is the perfect size but formidably expensive. If I find and fit an alternative, I'll post the howt...

No option for less than 70,000 ? So I cant vote !

Agree with all the above comments. BUT, this happend to me and I had a long drive home in traffic, on and off the brakes and they failed (totally) !! Had to pull over to cool them down, then drive "gingerly" home. I took the calipers off and rerfurbished them completely. Moral is, get them...

What an excellent example, a credit to you !

May I ask, from the picture, your steering wheel looks thicker thtn the standard example on my //M. Did you specifically ask the trimmers to do that for you ? Its the only thing that really niggles me with mine.

Regards
Pete.

Excellent advice from Aceman. I had the same problem with my handbrake being almost vertical ! Stripped the rear brakes down and examined the rear shoes, just in case they needed replacing and to get all the dust that accumulated in them out. Adjusted the rear brake shoes as suggested by Aceman. Han...

Sounds good to me, like to be a part of that !

Where and what are the "East Anglian" crew ? Do you meet up regularly ?

At least a Litre, may be a little more for the whole car ! Remember to drain all that old stuff through for a good 30 mins.

I have done all the brakes on the front of mine which includes :- refurbing the calipers, goodridge aeroquip hoses and EBC red stuff pads. Having talked to a BMW specialist they advised not to use Silicone race brake fluid, which I must say, rather surprised me. I have always used that in my race ca...

The V8 from the new M3 !

Very nice cars indeed ! Couldn't help but notice that beautiful black RS500 in the background of the photo of your red M sport. That is a rare car indeed. My "other car" is one of those but unfortunately NOT the RS500. Must blag a drive in a M Coupe if I ever get the chance, I would love t...

I'd be interested. Please keep me informed on dates. July great , August

Z3 for me . . . it's all to do with that lovely shapley bottom !

Veloce is Latin derived for "rapid" OR in Italian, music being played with rapidity or speed. Max, well, obvious really, I take everything to the Max, being an Ex rally driver.

So, very loud fast music being played whilst driving a car very fast !!

//Mmmm . . . does it for me !!

Red Stuff give a good feel over standard but not the extra performance I'm looking for. Having driven in competition, always looking for that bit more, and of course no fade !!!

I'll try the Yellow Stuff next. Thanks for the advice gentlemen.

You might see mine in the Chelmsford area. I'll give you a flash and a wave !

Hi Aceman

Shame about selling the Zed. Did you not try the Z3M before you went for the Jag ?

Didn't look at the location !


Haven't woken up yet !

Hi and welcome.

Very friendly bunch here. Firstly, where are you in Essex, as the recommendations I can make are in the Chelmsford area.

Top off, sunglasses on, wind in the hair, that's why I bought one !

At least you know the parts are going to good homes and the bits live on !

The Boxter in my opinion is a wannabe 911 and always has been. I've driven several and they feel a little fat, i.e. it's a big car. My Z3M feels just right, even with that long bonnet I find I know exactly where the whole car is on the road. There is also that little bit of excitement knowing that y...

Nice one, enjoy and welcome !

When I got mine I did 800 miles on a long weekend with the roof down, superb.

Careful with that hardtop, they are a lot heavier than you think and they take up a pile of space !!

Make lots of miles while the sun shines !

They certainly break up the black panels !

Each to their own, if you like them that's all that matters.

Speed, style, performance, interesting handling, NO ROOF !!

Fantastic !

I had a similar problem with one on the front's on mine the other day. Long story but, brake pedal went to the floor !! No accident fortunately, massive brake wear on one side of the front brakes, nothing on the other. The intense heat that was being generated on the problem side made it difficut ge...

Gentleman, take a butchers at this !!

Potty or what !

Over 50 ! Done all the rally driving stuff years ago, still build "silly" cars but can't believe I only discovered drop top driving a couple of years ago . . . no going back. All that wind in the hair stuff, fantastic !! P.S. my daughter has asked me to leave her the car in my will !! :sho...

Hi Macca

Silver . . . great choice !

I'm new on here myself. This is a great site for picking up lots of useful information and a very friendly atmosphere.

Welcome on board :wave Very reassuring to hear a rally driver finds them demanding in the wet :shock: :D but I guess your used to 4 wheel drive :wink: Old school, MK II Ford Escort RS. They have become very popular all over again. I built an RS Cosworth 4X4, very sure footed but hard work. 2 wheel ...

Hello to everyone ! Ex rally driver having discovered open top super performance for the first time ! Fantastic ! Having said that, ZM's can be very demanding in the wet !!! :shock: Started reading all the tech stuff, very informative, great knowledge base. :nerd: Looking forward to meeting you at s...
