New Z3 Owner

[FanOfTinyBiscuits]

Recently acquired a 1997 1.9 Z3 with 115,000 miles. It’s a fantastic little car. Changed the front shocks out last week. Doing rear springs this week. Runs and drives phenomenally well.
Already thinking about future mods or movement into the 6 cylinder...it’s troubling.

Hi from North Yorkshire. We also have a 97 1.9.They are great little cars. Forget about a six cylinder and just enjoy the car that you've got.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Now that's a nice looking original zed, original wheels too. Being the twin cam M44 engine that is a very tuneable engine, the later 1.9's had the single cam M43 engine with around 20 hp less. I would keep that original and not mess with it. - except roll hoops being a safety item.

Looking at a few options for roll hoops. Definitely want to add them.

Just put on new front shocks and rear springs. Feels brand new.

Welcome from Tropical Glasgow, Scotland. Looks a clean little Z that. Had an m44 engine myself for my first Zed. 6cyl is a really different car to the 4cyl but not always in a great way. M44 is easier to chuck about that the 1.9s. Great fun and still enough poke to have some fun. I got my 6 cyl via this site and some of the best cars to buy will be on here. Worth sticking round for the party
