Hi All

This is a late introduction as a I have already been helped out a couple of times already Thank you. This is my first time owning a car I intend to work on myself. I used to be a maintenance engineer in London for ten years where I fixed everything and anything that needed fixing well tried to or declared it unfixable after I had broke it some more ;). I have always wanted to build an AC Cobra Kit But recognise I will never have enough time to complete one (I have a wife 2 kids plenty of pets and Love my fishing). So like many I have had my head turned by the z3 Kobra kit now I have an attainable dream. So I have Just purchased a 49K miles oct 2000 3.0 Z3 engine and Interior and body work in Great nick (I think) Suspension Steering not so good I have already replaced all the front bushings control arms etc and plan to do some more in the coming months I have a couple of questions I will post in the Relevant sections. I intend to own the car for a long time and will not be doing the conversion any time soon if at all as the standard Z3 Is growing on me. I will Just be Getting her in the best Nick she can be. I have fishing/drinking Buddys . Cars not so much and I want to try and do some track days In the new year something I have never done before so if anyone is close (I reside in Essex) and wants to show me the ropes then Get in touch

Cheers

Dan

Has made a massive difference before it was wandering all over the road Feels brand new now. Going to get alignment done this week but still think the steering

Not sure of the etiquette if i just post on my thread or ask a new question. So i have just done a caliper rebuild and have repaired the sills as per z3cade (Liam) article i need to do a rear restoration and have followed some of the threads but i am going to wait until the winter for this so i have now turned to the engine. going to do a service with plugs is there a Guide on here that lists all the preventive maintenance I should think about carrying out. she has covered 50000 miles in her 20 years and starts and sounds spot on

only thing she does do is stall in reverse if i dont give it some more revs than you normally would ?

thankyou in advance
