Tommy's Z3 Turbo drift car

[Tommy Bates]

Got myself a vanos head for now , slight step back from the non vanos head as you cant run the stronger valves and double valve springs but i have fully refurbished it now and it's going in as time is running out and I'm now booked on for rd1 of drift cup so need to get a move on and get testing

I haven't resprayed the car yet , need to get some testing done and cage built before that , I was thinking battle ship grey for the overall colour with black and red livery

If you serious about hairdressing then I suggest GHD colours.

Which is seriously think would look good on a Z!

You sir are a genius

But you did already respray the engine bay....looks like candy red.
How did you proceed with that? What steps? to prep etc?
I'm a complete novice for that sort of thing.
