What have you bought for your Zed this week?

[Jack Ratt]

Just bought the cheapest full exhaust and cat to replace the system recently butchered by thieves. Then I'll MOT her and put her up for sale. I'm never going to keep a petrol car on my drive overnight again. I still have my other Zed that's currently SORN and she will stay locked up

Storm moterwerks V1 gear knob fitted today, just need an excuse go try it out, feels good so far. It was ordered a few days before taffdaddy put his in the for sale section otherwise I would have bought his.

Those give an extra few HP

Really was surprised by this not heard of this happening in the southwest much.

My Volvo is SORN and parked up in my works car park (24 hour security) I check it weekly and look underneath to check the cats still there as there’s been a few go missing on these but generally in the London area.

I've been a victim twice in just over a year. Last time they butchered my Honda Accord. I live in a rural village near Truro. Nowhere is safe these days

I hadn’t realised that would give me more BHP, even with the extra weight, wow what will they think of next?

It's the streamlining and shine.

I find the seatbelt on my Z quite uncomfortable, kind of cutting the side of my neck. Bought these based on recommendation from a friend:

DISA party with my cousin this Sunday. The DISA repair & upgrade kit arrived from the US, and we got down to fit it in our DISAs. He drives a 320i and has a smaller DISA but the same M54 engine.

Overall, chill and satisfying weekend project , but not that necessary if your DISA is not worn out. In any case, the materials were good and I guess it gives some extra durability.



By the way, I also wrapped my intake with heat sink so let's see how much of a difference this makes (normally I run ~50-55C after 30min. of highway driving). Should I wrap the underside of the manifold as well?

I am not sure if these are cool or a bit tacky.. but I went for it anyway. Set of reproduction dealer plates. As a teenager in the mid 80s I used to cycle into town and stare through Sytner’s window.. then the sole importer of Alpina models. A bit of nostalga.

I’ve only visited once, for delivery of an Alpina (sadly not mine) and it’s a special place.

There are some special cars here too.

I needed new plates anyway and these popped up in the google search ... they weren't much more than plain ones .. so why not

 

[Neilb62]

I’ve got replica dealer plates on the M5.
Love those
