Hi All

just bought my first z4, have had an s2000 previously but mostly high power sierra cosworths.
Was looking between a boxster and z4 but price and ims problems on boxster frightened me off for the moment plus i got the zed for a song with a clam shell inc.

Needs a little tlc which i can sort and a good mech service.has lhd headlamps so thats the first thing i must change,handlin seems a little skittish as well so must get under it for a check, elec steering is like a yaris we used to have in that it seems snatchy.is this a known issue ????

wheels are corroded so time to upgrade these too

:D
 
Sierra Cosworths eh - that takes me back - whale tails?

Zeds are becoming very affordable zaga - especially if you've got the capacity to sort out a few things :thumbsup:

Electric steering 'feel' is a known issue. With early (pre2006) Zeds there's something called 'sticky steering' where heat can affect the freedom of movement but the biggest problem is original fitment runflat tyres which tramline dreadfully and have the steering snatchy on every uneven surface. Most of us fit non runflats - as well as being more affordable, they improve the ride quality and cut down a lot of the tramlining etc. You get used to the 'feel' of the steering and it becomes part of the character of the drive. Interestingly the ///M versions have hydraulic steering and come with non runflats as standard . . .
 
Just finished giving the outside of the zed a little detail and did the wiper fix too so no pics till tomorrow,a few pics of my Cassie's and previous cars as requested till then

Very nice collection indeed.

IIRC it's called 'Magenta' on the Cossie Buzyg, it's a very nice example isn't it, and you can't beat a whaletail sierra. :thumbsup:
