#ZedShed Z4 Coupe Journal

[Lee]

Few things happening in the background! Just fixed a leak on the Valvetronic assembly, that's the bit of kit that gives the N52 all its power.

Also Baxters pothole in the Cotswolds has totalled my front wheel, It's actually twisted it beyond repair so they've become track wheels only and this happened, They are 19" so should be a nice snug fit.

I'm collecting them Friday then onto fitting tyres.

I've also just renewed the insurance to include a supercharger just in case this happened It was only an extra £30.

I'll post a picture once the wheels are on.

You wouldn't add it to the insurance if it wasn't going to happen, sounds like one will be fitted very soon

Wheels will look great as well, something a little different on a Z4.

Only £30 extra for a super charger !! Bargain. Nice one mate, but please, leave my hole alone.

Man maths:
£2k supercharger = not wasting £30 insurance premium already paid.
Every little helps

I would double the 2k or is that the price you tell the wife?

How much extra oomph would you expect for your cash @Lee ?

It bumps up 100-150 bhp depending on the mapping.

It would be criminal not to mate.

Married now, things like that don't happen. Only birthdays and bar mitzvah's

You never know your luck @Lee, once you get that extra oomph...........

I've heard that women get pregnant just by hearing a supercharger... It's just so provocative

Got the wheels on over the weekend just in time for the Gaydon show. I'm quite surprised that 19" wheels with standard tyres are a nicer ride over 18" with track tyres, I'm guessing the solid side wall makes all the difference.

Now those are seriously

Nice wheels but just out of curiosity, what's the story with the extended wheel bolts, not seen that before.

Had them on there for over a year now, they are race studs. Also makes it easier with wheel spacers etc.
