my Z3 coupe
Hi guys,
Wanted to share with you my new toy. I wanted something that is bmw, it's lightweight and cheap to run. I was considering E36's but finally got a Z3 coupe. It's the 2.8 one, but you cannot say it's slow. It has a limited slip diff as well as all of the comforts. I am very happy with it. It's nice to drive and drifts everywhere ! Already I changed the brakes to EBC USR discs and EBC red pads. This week I am changing the bushes to powerflex ones. Suspension will follow and later on a roll cage and racing seats.

Nice one! I do like the Z3's:thumbs:
and wow you have some lovely roads/scenery :smt055 |
Looks great, a nice cheap little alternative to a CSL, lots of fun I would think Alex!

Loving the "Brot Wagen" mate :thumbs:
Good to see you've got it registered and on the road so quickly :beer: Furka Pass :drool: Hmmmmmmm :smt055 seems so long ago |
So the Z3 is race ready now.
I have changed oil, oil filter, K&N air filter, fuel filter, wipers. Also, powerflex front/rear anti-roll bar bushes. M Coupe front control arm bushes. EBC USR discs (front) and front/rear EBC redstuff brake pads. Castrol brake fluid. I also removed about 25 kilos of unnecessary weight. I tested the car last monday in Anneau Du Rhin (a track close to Basel, in France). It's quite capable and definitely fun to drive. I embarrassed much 'faster' cars in the track, even though I am still running some rubbish 'Gremax' tyres. I am really happy with the budget brake solution. The brakes performed very well (I was doing non-stop 30 minute sessions) without any brake fade. The suspension is pretty standard (only lower springs) but I don't have a complaint at the moment. I clocked a 997 GT3 doing 1.31 (dry). With the CSL on slicks but wet (so I was backing off in 2 fast corners) I had done 1.32. M Z3 Coupe with slicks, race suspension, roll cage, exhausts was doing 1.35. I did with my Z3C 1.37. Not bad at all :-) Also the laptime of the CSL in the wet is fecking amazing (it's the driver after all ... who has skills :thumbs:) A pic from the track http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8300/z3001.jpg 2 pics from a practise session today. Note : I drift everywhere with the Z3C, it's mental !!! http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/2348/z3004.jpg http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/8448/z3003.jpg As you can see, it's very practical having plenty of space in the trunk :whistle: http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/148/z3002b.jpg I have also bought an AC Schnitzer gear knob and waiting for it to arrive :drool: Next in the list is a strut brace. Maybe spring just before the Ring, I will put on a supercharger :whistle: |
Nice one mate,:thumbs:

Looks like a cool project, but a supercharger? Sounds expensive! If you are planning on a track toy I think you can find a cheaper ring toy for the price of a supercharger + mfk. |
