3litre z3

Where is the BMW show in NI?

Carrick Castle car park. Sunday at 11am to 4pm

Hardtop back on, as soft top is leaking. All cleaned for the show tomorrow.

 

[Hugo]

A photo from the show yesterday. Some nice comments about the zed as well. Ordered a couple of mods this morning.

Hello and welcome.

Got the zed slammed this morning with Apex springs. The springs where on offer over August so I got them for £120 plus fitting. Should of got them for the show in Carrick last weekend.

Really pleased with the results, could do with spacers on the rear.

Think I'll go for 18s. 19s might be a bit big.

Hows the ride on them?

Its good. Thought it was going to be far worse with how low it is. The Sachs shocks make a big difference.

Gave the zed a good wash and got a photo of the side view to show the stance.

Hard top looks great (as does the rest of your Zed)

Rusty side skirts repaired and painted this week. Picked it up today.

Bought rear adjustable camber arms which don't fit. The z3 just has trailing arms like a Mini.

Yesterday I got the dents out of my bonnet after someone must of stood on it in Belfast over a year ago. The dent guy charged me £40, I thought it would be at least double that. This morning I got the passenger side front alloy back from being refurbed.

As its my birthday soon I'm getting new track rods and the wheels aligned next week. Hopefully this will fix the ABS light coming on.

Where did you get the side skirts repaired and painted - looking good!

Thanks. Angus Cairn's accident repair in Newtownards. Angus has done all the body work and the front two alloys.

I'm tempted in selling it now coming into the winter..... Just thinking

Not the best time of year to sell a convertible ...................... just saying Mine will probably stay in my garage over the winter and I'll (try) to selling it in the spring.

Had a change of heart or I saw sense. I was going to buy a Civic Type R but the felt weird driving a powerful FWD with the front wheels doing the work. The trade in value is really low compared to what I paid for the z3 a year ago so I'll be doing the servicing myself.

Washed and waxed the ZED and went for Autumn photo's. Should of waited till this afternoon as the blue skies are out.

Looks great mate. Nice cars the Type R but it's not a roadster and certainly not a Z3.
