Update at the end of the week

g8jka

Hi mate, yes they are still available and I believe they will fit fine on most 1 series (not ones with huge brakes). They actually came off an E87 120D. Is Wednesday the only day you would be able to collect?

g8jka

Looks great with them wheels on, good choice

g8jka

Yes they probably wouldn't clear the brakes unless you had spacers fitted.

g8jka

There is probably a lot of cars still around with them on without people even realising. When I got my 2.8 it had one fitted, the seller didn't even know. Most people sell their hardtops on to get some cash, not realising the fitting kits will come off and can be sold on. It happens quite often when...

Need these gone, £140 Anyone?

g8jka

Got a new mirror from a mini convertible to replace the old one I smashed putting in back together. I didn't have to swap over the circuit boards inside as I don't use the remote locking on the keys, its all done via the alarm fob so it was a simple swap. This one isn't and auto dimming one but the ...

Now SOLD

g8jka

Everyone with a Z4 seems to put CSL wheels on theirs and they look quite common, but I think these will look stunning on your with the bronze finish against the white. Look forward to seeing the pictures!

g8jka

Mini rear view mirror, smashed the standard one putting it back together after installing an alarm LED.

g8jka

Great guy who does a great job, you can't go wrong really even though his price has crept up a bit recently but he is still cheaper than most. My latest zed is booked in for a new roof on Dec 20th, but this time I'm using Jack Smith Trimmers in Swansea who also get great feedback.

g8jka

Sytner one has all black seats by the look of it and the top one has green/black seats plus the Sytner one has headlight washers so at a guess they are not the same car.

g8jka

How much for the block of wood?

g8jka

The one I used could have done with been a bit longer as well, only just managed to stretch it over and glue it into place.

I got it from here but requested the stitching to be across the front of the cowling. I only paid £24.99 but they seem to have shot up in price

You can get all sorts from there, I presume its where bertiejaffa had all his from as well.

g8jka

good work fella - It was almost de-ja-vu then when I saw a stripped dash :lol: Well done on remembering to swap the Vin number on the dash - ive forgot and it causes no end of issues at MOT time... :head: :head: Haha I bet, I wasn't going to the lengths you did although I would love to recover it a...

Just to keep this upto date, everything from the 2.0 has now been swapped over and the 2.0 been put back to standard and up for sale. I had upgraded the brakes from the 3.0 (300mm discs) on the 2.0 which were a massive improvement on the originals. These were changed over along with carriers to allo...

Another vote for him, can't go wrong

Wasn't the 1.8 facelift and not pre-facelift?

1999 BMW Z3 2.0 24V This car is in truly excellent condition and has no reflection to the mileage. It drives perfectly and everything works as it should.

I'd start off by removing the rear lights to see if the skin has been modified to allow the facelift lights to fit. All of the other panels do bolt on and off. I have seen another pre-facelift with a modified back end to allow the facelift to fit. It might just be a case of modifying the holes so th...

I'll have a standard 2.0 for sale within the next couple of weeks

Now SOLD, thanks.

I've just removed 2 out of both my zeds when swapping the dashboards, didn't bother disconnecting the battery just unplugged it and took cover! Honestly I actually forgot but neither went off nor did the steering wheel airbag but it's probably safer to disconnect the battery.

g8jka

Still one of my favourite zeds, get out and drive it more though

g8jka

I know, it is a bit intermittent but I have another spare as well from a replacement door.

g8jka

I am interested in one of those g8jka but to be honest they scare the cr*p out of me. But I'm glad you have one and you'll hopefully be able to answer some questions. What does the jacking plate rest on? The whole length of the sill? Or does it have pads adjusted under the jacking points? Has it ca...

Purchased from Andy but no longer needed as mine seems to have magically started to work again. Currently on eBay, but will let if go to a forum member for £30.

How about one of these? About £400 if I'm correct Gookah has a good stand My new rampy thing in action...

I have eicher discs on mine, no issues with rust and they seem to be fine. I'm pretty sure I also have eicher pads, or at least have had in the past and they were ok although I wish I would have gone for some better ones. Personally I don't think the brakes are brilliant on any zed so go with the be...

Try and tap the motor under the seat with something whilst operating the switch in the up/down direction, it may free it up.

g8jka

Both locks from the boot and drivers door have been swapped over between cars now and the keys for each car all operate the correct locks. The boot was pretty simple, take out the bolts holding it in and the two rods then rotate it 180 degrees and remove. I was dreading the door lock as I thought it...

g8jka

Thanks Lee, got the dashboard apart of the 2.0 at the moment tackling the leather. Definitely won't be going to the extremes that you did, I applaud you for going through all that it looks one hell of a job!

g8jka

Managed to get all the panels back on and ready for zedfest, there's a couple of panels that need a little adjusting as I'm not happy with the shut lines but they can wait for now. As usual, the front of the side skirts suffered the usual corrosion at the fronts as did the bottom of both front wings...

g8jka

Great progress and all round maintenance work! Is underseal tacky on touch? I always thought it was messy to use. If you sure happen to remove the airbox could you take some photos of the general area. I'm looking at an aFe inlet box but they only just them for the 2.8 and whilst I can't imagine th...

g8jka

Too many cheaper ones about to choose from and if people are buying to use, then they probably don't have a budget big enough for the low mileage examples and what would be the point only to hike up the mileage etc. These examples only really appeal to collectors now and they will be bought to sit i...

It gets more pricey when it costs me £10 in fuel for a round trip to the nearest dealer and sopers charge postage for such a small amount of parts.

I may have found a couple anyway so thanks

g8jka

I need 2 bolts that hold the brake carrier in place on the front if anyone has a couple they are willing to sell? Ideally I can get them at zedfest this weekend.

Thanks

g8jka

Hi mate, didn't think you were still around! I just used satin black paint from Poundland probably need about 5 - 6 cans and they just need a light dusting so it doesn't crack when you put them back on. You can also do the screws whilst they are out. I also did the jacking points just to give them a...

So after polishing the car to see what the defects were I decided that I wasn't happy with most of the panels on the car as almost all had some sort of defect. Just looking at the car it is perfectly fine and respectable, despite the passenger door having a dent a few inches long. The rear bumper wa...

It will be a cheap way of getting an upgrade from my 2.0 as that will be sold on hopefully for decent money after I have decided what I need to swap over.

Looks good. Will this be a project from scratch or swap the parts from the 2.0? No all of the mods I have done to the 2.0 will be swapped onto the 2.8. It would take me a long time and a lot of money to do it all over again and as I wasn't really looking to buy a new one anyway sp I'm trying to kee...

After owning my 99 2.0 for over 6 years I always keep an eye on what the prices are doing, especially the 3.0 litres as one day I would maybe be looking to upgrade. This day would be a while a way as I was never planning to sell the 2.0 and the prices of 3.0 litres only seem to be increasing. Anyway...

g8jka

If they are not new make sure you get a decent tar remover and get them very cleaning prior to polishing and sealing. You will find it much easier to keep them clean in the future. Mine could do with a polish now even though I only run them in the summer. Save fitting the rim protectors just make su...

I think my drivers side catches the inside of the arch (from inside the wheel when turning to the right) but only slightly. My widths are the same but the offset is 35. Mine is also on coilovers which are lower than the eibachs but I don't find any problems with normal driving and can't hear any rub...
