stevie those pics are just awesome, how many hours approx to get to where you are now ? I have just been trying to imagine the sort of performance this stunning car is going to have, any thoughts on expected 0 to 60 times ? got to be 3.5 ish, or less has'nt it ?
have you thought about value of something this unique. it could make anything, the build quality looks so factory . amazes me how much talent is lurking on this forum.

Why not supercharger? Seems there's plenty of the shelf kits available. Turbo charged cars especially rear wheel drive always more of a handful to drive.[/quote]
For those reasons the big one is off the shelf. I want a challenge and something you can't just buy. The whole car has been a big toy for me to try things and learn from.

So many questions :roll: The hrs I'm getting around 500, performance will be a good deal quicker than a M5 which weighs 1890kgs (Z4 1400 ish). 0 to 60 could be around 3/4 sec's . Value not sure what it'll be worth once its completely finished, still a few area's to cover. My final budget will be around 23/25K, I'm sitting at 18,500K with 6K included for the car so this wasn't going to be a cheap conversion, but hopefully fairly unique and potentially worth a bit :roll:mad4slalom said:stevie those pics are just awesome, how many hours approx to get to where you are now ?

Carlsburg dont do mod threads... But if they did this would be it :lol:
Ever thought about boosting it after, adding a wee SC to this and who knows where it could go!

Mmmm Super charger! Now there's a thought. If I'm not mistaken there is V10's running SC's on standard internals and circa 800bhp. Think running gear would be struggling to cope with it. In fairness 550/580 will be pretty entertaining in a rear wheel drive setup and my main aim is reliability so not going to push it to its limits.aquazi said:Bing said:Heroic :bow:

All clear I was getting worried about you!! Cut a big f**king hole in the bonet like they do in the gud ol US of A
ten smiley faces for every cylinder that's running in my Z4 project. Finally I have a fully running M5 V10 engine that starts on the key first time. I was stunned with how well the Specialist Components ecu ran my Z4 , they have produced a cracking ecu and map . Once I've tidied up engine bay and pulled it out of the workshop I'll take a video of it running and try and post up as I've never done a video. It's been a year in the making and this is my own special Xmas present to myself.
