Wow!
Missed the chance to have a go at spotting this stuff as I've only just seen this thread. Got most of the obvious clues but not all of them if I'm honest.
Can I ask what the Exdos Eureka mod is please? Being relatively new, I read a good few back threads from a while ago and was quite interested in the Exdos threads - always a good read and I recall seeing a mod for the Z3MC with the same name; a thread about how to move from 76% wide open throttle and all sorts of related gubbins with the promise of more power, or better airflow in any event - just been a bit busy (and slightly afraid!) to ask.
Good game this one!

Yeap John has posted lots of good information on this site, with lots of data to back up what he's doing. Eureka mod is very simple and easy to do. See here -

I'd be lying in saying you'll notice a performance increase with your bum dyno, but I like to think all of these small changes have a cumulative effect.

When I first got my Z4MC I gutted a pair of silencers and was surprised to find that when datalogging the before and after performance there was no difference! This puzzled me. It was only after I'd looked inside the air-filter box, I saw the small hole in the base and realised that the air-intake could not maximise ram-pressure in the air-filter box because the hole created a leak in an otherwise sealed intake system. After I'd plugged the hole, my data logger proved that the combination of the plug and the gutted silencers gave a performance improvement, hence the name "Eureka mod". If you do either Eureka mod or gutted silencers on their own, you will see no performance improvement, because the OEM air-intake and exhaust systems are in balance; you need to do both mods to see the gain.

As far as I know, all ///M roadsters came with clear 3rd brake light and the coupe was red.
Mine was cracked, common problem and decided to change it to red as I prefer the contrast with Interlagos.
All of the roadster launch pictures show a clear 3rd brake light, as does the brochure. Have a quick google.
