    Meds 3.0si Coupe - rear brake upgrade

    Good effort sir. Gutted mine isn’t here yet but can’t wait to get it installed. I think I’ll take the loom box off completely and loom tape it up. I like that Gruppe M filter install that someone else has done but I think I’ll try it open for a while and might try butcher / adapt the OE Airbox...

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    Hi mate You can move the pins around the holes int he top cap so you can either go fully side to side (so camber only) fullly back and forward (castor only) or somewhere in between. It’s not as adjustable as a proper sliding castor rig but it works. I’m running it in the front to back position...

    Carraero N52 'CentroPlenum'

    the design was for the 1 and 3 series which have a different layout apparently. More work to do on it I reckon but suspect it’s a volume call for them to do a z4 specific version. Let’s see. There is always a way!

    Carraero N52 'CentroPlenum'

    So there is a load of wiring for the various sensors around the airbox plus other wiring that comes out of the main electrical box top right of the engine bay, and then flows down underneath the current intake system. It goes into a plastic junction box underneath the air intake system and the...

    Carraero N52 'CentroPlenum'

    I also have one on order. Hoping for delivery soon! Need to come up with a solution to hold the loom box that currently is bolted onto the underside of the stock intake, otherwise it will flop around s and pull on the electrical connections. I’ve had a 3D printed version sent though though and I...

    New battery for E86 ?

    I picked this battery up from Halfords after reading about someone else doing the same. Bigger than the 096 battery I had in before and has a bit more oomph. Car starts like a dream now and importantly, the battery fits properly! I can now get rid of the wooden spacer I’d had to put it...

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    NVH maybe slightly more but very marginal tbf. All bushings were replaced when I changed the dampers with OEM bushes. Other than putting ball joints top and bottom on the rear hub carrier. Front control arm bushes are standard. If you poly bushed it then may be harder or more noticeable

    Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

    I’ve got XTA coils. So adjustable front top mounts as well as the one way adjustable coilovers. They’re linear spring rate and camber + castor adjustable at the front. I’m running only a bit below sport suspension height to keep good ground clearance for B roads. Is about perfect height I think...

    N52 Hydraulic steering pump and purple tag rack

    Hi mate. Interested. Can you confirm where the rack came from (mileage of car?) or if it’s refurbed? Also which car did the pipe work come from? I’ve got most of the other bits just hadn’t got round to this bit yet!!!

    Meds 3.0si Coupe - rear brake upgrade

    That looks spot on mate! Really pleased they work. Like the 245 and think that could work as a square set up. Per our chat, that’s my next plan!!! Look forward to seeing them on Ferric grey
