Hi Ben Your car is looking good I appreciate how much hard work and expense you have put into this project. And your right we must all start posting more. These cars are rare and the more we talk the more we understand them. I took my Z to work today ok going in the morning but came home tonight roo...
Dont know if this is of any help but have come across this in Frederic Brossaud's excellent manual on the Z1 which can be found on the attached link below:
Hi Felix I have just been out and measured my front ride height for you. As near as damm it both sides measure 58 cm. The car is standing on the flat in the garage with half a tank of fuel and the spacesaver in the boot. The front tyres are Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico 225 / 45 / ZR16 and about half w...
Hi Burmagirl yes i've had the buckle in the wheel done only £35 bargain! Alas buying two rear tyres was not.....although i only needed one the other on the same axle was past its best so got two to match.Just need some good weather :sunny to get the car out of the garage. Hope yours is fixed soon th...
Dont think i'd ever find that particular pothole again scenary was a blur at the time! Also standing there camera in hand how do i know if you guys are not on another blat round the next bend.
. We tried to get some compensation from mid Beds DC after we went down a pothole a few years ago & ruined a wheel on our old Volvo; no go of course :cry: . Maybe Essex is better but I wouldn't bank on it! burmagirl[/quote] Thanks for that Burmagirl was thinking along those lines myself. Anyone ...

Spokey this is sad news. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: My rear tyres are also close to their end would be interested to know costs for yours when we meet.

Sorry mate may not have put that very well. Of course you know there is a handle there I was just mentioning this as it is a very flimsy fitting and could be missing on your car
Hi Tim and welcome Had my car for about a year and a half.....no regrets. Nothing I can say that the rest of the guys havent. What goes wrong with them? Exhaust rusts. You can look through the rear defuser gap to see the corrosion; allow £700-£1200 the dearer being for stainless this includes fittin...
Hi Tony Dont know if this is of any help I bought my Z1 from an independant BMW garage in the Aylesbury area. They are called John Warren Cars (telephone number 01296651040). Speak to Bill Warren who is very helpful and knowledgeable about the Z1 because he owned my car prior to me buying it from hi...
OMG!! You dont get out much do you apart from your house to the garage and back. Only joking mate. :lol: The car looks amazing must have cost you a fortune!! Also weeks and weeks if not months of hard slog but it will all be worth it now the summer's finally here and you can hit the road. Love the q...
Blimey Genie, which lamp did you rub to get such a clean looking Zed, looks well kept and maintained. What made you buy a Z1, how do you find it 1 year on? Hi Jet, Must admit hours of polishing have bought the paintwork up a treat. I bought a Z1 as a fun car for the weekend/summer. Never had a road...

And yes, you've guessed its green. H...
Sam, thanks for the info on the tyres. I probably will go with P.zeros unless anyone says to the contrary as this will give me a matching set of four. As you say there are many different tyres to go for and many different opinions so it does get confusing! :? Garythefish, thanks for the info re uplo...
