Re: Zedfest w/e in Yorkshire next year??
Can we make it weekend 20th and 21st? Meet Friday 19th. The week after is pingu's lunatic trip which would rule a few of us out for the last weekend.

Re: Lightweight flywheel & shift pins
It's the root of the single ear. Do you have a dual mass, or a solid flywheel? Mine is single mass. Do you mean this part? http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g433/deano1712/Dsc01981_zpsaa948243.jpg I replaced that when I strengthened my boot floor.

Re: Lightweight flywheel & shift pins
Whats cracked? I thought you already fixed the boot floor on your car. Im on a single eared cover with 550hp so dont think your clutch change should need you to change that.

I read a lot online this week about stuck bonnets and feared a time consuming job. Happily a liberal squirt with WD40 and a sharp tug got the bonnet open ok. Phew!

If you are going to the trouble of removing then upgrading to 2 or 3 is a no brainer. I have the IE version fitted. Suggest you go for whichever one is cheapest.

You will fail MOT with no cat so fitting as-is it would have to be swapped out each year to get it through. Decat is noiser and maybe a bit more powerful.

Re: RENT-A-GARAGE!
Problem you have is that when you start working on cars you tend to need the tool you dont have to hand. Also you may need to get parts. There is possibility of getting stuck stranded on the 'ramps' while you get what you need. Not great if you are being charged an hourly rate.

Re: Rear beam bushes
Yes I made a tool to remove them - I have it still in the garage somewhere. The standard bushes are rubbish. If you change them fit poly bushes. Its one of the best modifications you can do to a Z3. Makes the rear much more planted and predictable. http://www.iemotorsport.com/bmw/Z3-suspension-steer...

Thanks fok, but i have fixed it now with the Walbro 450. Not heard of a x5 pump being used before sounds a good idea.

Re: Fuel pump M specific?
I have a Walbro 255 just taken out of my Z3M. You can have if for £25 + postage. It fits ok in place of the standard pump and is more powerful. I have swapped it for a bigger pump since my V8 needs for fuel flow than it can provide.
