Ey up!

I recently picked up an 03 plate 3.0i e85.

My ongoing (soon to be for sale) project/daily was a mk2 MX5 that's now reached a point where the next upgrades would be forced induction, so instead of going down the turbo or supercharged route and spending lots of money, I opted to start all over again on a nice Z4 :lol:

Here's a couple of pics of it for anyone that cares:

And here's the Z4

It's completely standard at the moment bar the front lights from what i can gather.

I replaced the oil separator a couple of days after purchasing it as it was seeping a fair bit of oil and now it just wants a set of front control arm bushes and a service before I can get onto more fun stuff :D

I don't know if you have a build/progress thread section on here but i'll be sure to stick one up as i go along if so.

:driving: :driving:
 
Bit of a power upgrade with the z4 I have had a couple of mx5s and enjoyed both each having their different high points
 
Welcome.
Looks like the 2xcite halo headlights that seem popular with a fair few people.

Is that a pug i spot in the passenger seat?
 
Nice work on the Mk2 MX5, looks terrific. I had a Mk 2 for 6 years before my Zeds - great little sports car but difficult to make look purposeful - you've done a great job there :thumbsup:

Good luck with the Zed :thumbsup:
 
Hi,welcome to the forum.
Good job on the MX5.
Another Yorkshire man here just a stones throw up the M1 :thumbsup:
 
Welcome- be sure to look for meets in the meets section- there are lots of us in this part of the world! :driving: :thumbsup:
 
Hi and Welcome!

Lovely looking MX5 you've got there! 8) I notice you're just doing the odd maintenance side of things on the Zed for now, any plans as yet for what you want to do? :fuelfire:
 
Welcome to the forum. I'd love to drive an MX5, unfortunately its never going to happen so had to settle for a Zed.
Loos like you've got some replacement lights fitted, they look very smart.
 
Cheers for the welcome everyone :)

Yep, plenty of plans, just requires plenty of money now :rofl:

The usual things really, lower it slightly, new wheels, spoiler, splitter, skirts, hopefully think up a few small unique mods along the way :)

I hope there is a good amount of sarcasm in your post :poke:

Look forward to your plans, agree with the funds! Never seem to be enough for all my ideas!
 
Hi everyone I am new to the group
I recently found this Z4 forum. Interesting discussion points and exactly what I was looking for,

In September 2016 I bought a Z 4 2.2i se E85 2004 , excellent condition inside and out. Had been looked after before the last owner, with 64k miles shown and two owners from new with full service history, up to the point of sale. It required a new mot, new tyres, tracking and brakes discs and pads,

I spent the winter washing cleaning the bodywork, having it serviced by local dealer, new mot, I then put into my garage and hibernation for the winter. On getting it out for its first run in March I hit a pot hole and broke a front off side spring. I manage to get the garage to collect and had both springs replaced.

However I have noticed that when driving at normal speeds 30. 40 mph in a straight line, I occasionally feel like the steering wheel is sticking, it then frees itself, cornering
and roundabouts are ok. But it seem worst when it is warm or sunny.

As anyone else experienced similar or know of this problem.
 
Common issue search the forum there is plenty of info about sticky steering and the possible fixes on here :thumbsup:
