Re: Quad exhauet
It is, maybe the easiest is to find back exhaust from E46 M3 which has two inlets from the left and 4 exhausts. https://www.topgear.co.uk/image/cache/products/Exhausts/Topgear/ReadyBuilt/BMW/TGT-55-BW101S-800x800.jpg I have NOT done it and can require some modifications on the body of the Z.. but it...

Re: Tip of the day....
IMHO partially correct. Especially when the car has not been started for a long time - several fuel pump pre-ignition start helps a lot. And I am doing this with all my cars that I dont drive daily. BUT If the injector o-ring is leaking .. this means that the fuel goes in the cylinder head and washi...

Re: Chassis dimesions data
Diagonals are fine. The chassis looks good. When measuring the longest diagonal - from front cross member to the big bolt holding rear cross member - the difference is 1-2mm. Which is inside the measuring mistake :D I will go to a alignment machine because I have to setup the suspension and we will ...

WANTED - widebody rear RIGHT panel PRE-Facelift
Hi all,
I have found one widebody rear left panel, now I am looking for right one. I don't care about the color and the condition is not very important (if there are no holes )
PM me with offers / links or here in the topic
Thanks in advance

Re: Race Build Z3 roadster
I may be wrong but wheels protruding from the wheel arch are illegal so arches need to be extended. On staggered wheels tyre sizes are different front to rear to preserve rolling radius ie 225/45/17 front 255/40 17 rear OP's domicile is Bulgaria according to the flag in his details, so perhaps prot...

Re: Race Build Z3 roadster
I don't have traction ...
ABS is very stupid on these cars .. so it wont be affected..
BUT in general speaking .. difference in speed in front to rear tyres is exactly how the smart systems detect aquaplaning .. but we are speaking of smart traction controls here

Yes, as I wrote - I am waiting for the wider front hood. I have to be wider because it is touching the hood right now. (and the under arches) Also - found one rear left widebody wing... in search of right one ... anyone? so I can be lower and wide. About the staggered set - yes .. I might go for 255...
