#ZedShed Z4 Coupe Journal

[Lee]

The stock exhaust outlet and cat must sap a fair bit of HP and torque judging by how it looks - quite a fat pipe but a chuncky cat after that!

those branches you got a re are for LHD suppose?

They're RHD and do fit, just the steering clashes. They're from the 3 series.

Little coupe update. As I do alot of track days along with spirited driving I thought I would try out an RTD shifter.

Get the old girl in the air

you’ll need to remove the exhaust and propshaft. Remove the old two part linkage. Cut back a bit of the carpet.

get the shift central so the 3/4th throw is bang on central. You’ll need to drill 3 holes to bolt it to the tunnel.

I tried to refit the sound deadening but it would fit. So now I can hear the transmission slightly and get a bit of heat up the shifter.

Below shot showing the shifter bolted in using just one Linkage arm.

Now the shift throw is very short and being higher much easier to shift gear quickly.

then a track day to make sure everything works well

she’s such a capable car on track now, this setup proves you don’t need all the horse power to have fun and be really competitive on track.

Love the look of that shifter, in fact love the look of the Beast on track. Still not giving up on getting another.
Had a garage clean out recently and need to get a good home for some very usefull mainly Z3 spares. Will contact you on w/app if your interested ( no cost to the Z shed ).
