What’s this projector swap you mention? I’m considering importing mine to Italy in the next year or two and had always thought I was staring down the barrel of new headlights.

Come on then Ed, in the interests of forum pride why not submit yours to get ragged about? ;) Yours is one of a few on here that could genuinely take the fight to those souped up, long wheelbase family limos!

I’d hoped the Z4 would have done better, but I think the result was inevitable for a standard car against the modified M3s. In fact, as soon as I saw the tyre and brake setups I knew how this was going to go. The potenza sport is a decent tyre in terms of grip, but it didn’t stand a chance...

I really need a warehouse so I can start hoarding things like this. Looks fantastic, can’t see it hanging around long.

I can imagine the fear leading up to turning it over! Starting mine after my first valve job was bad enough. I expect you turned it over by hand a few hundred times before plucking up the courage to turn the key! Glad it paid off!

Oh s**t, that must be about the worst place to lose one! I guess that’s a new fear unlocked for me :oops: :D

Nice, where abouts in Italy are you?

Great work, looking forward to seeing this progress

From what I’ve read it was part of making the coupe that bit more focused. It has different shocks as well iirc. I’d expect either rack to be horribly expensive and probably hard to find. Are you sure on the part numbers? Realoem is bringing up 32137836845 as a rhd roadster rack and...

Valve adjustment today. It’s been a while and this time I ended up changing 11 of them - although 2 of those were a bit borderline. Could really do with some 2.30mm shims. One achy back later and there are no bolts left over and only one washer was lost in the murky depths of the undertray...

M359 wheels from the e9x comp and 1M. I’m not too clued up on how to tell if these wheels are reps or not though.

Cracking build and a comprehensive overhaul. Shame Nitron didn’t have the top mounts figured out first time around, typical problem for low volume parts bin cars though. At least it’s being sorted.

Yeah, I should probably try another! As for the ding, I checked the car that parks in the spot next to mine but no signs of paint or damage on theirs, it also looks like the rear door is lower than the ding. No odea where it was picked up though as I haven’t parked it anywhere since I polished...

Went for a run up to the Col de l’Iseran via Moncenisio to escape the relentless heat. Unfortunately so did half of Europe. Still, nice to get out for a long drive. Only bad thing was I found the mother of all door dings right by the mirror. It’s broken the paint and doesn’t look like an easy...

Sounds the same as mine. I’ve just been through a few videos I’ve made during various episodes of paranoia, dating back to 2014, (from around 37k to 84k) and it’s had a similar whine all along. I’ve just put it down to the PAS circuit or the drag on various components-pulleys. No idea if...
