Got the Eventuri installed last time I was home from uni. Here's a before and after soundclip:

My friend had to make a makeshift mount to keep the intake in position as the PO of the intake broke the mounting tab off :thumbsdown:
Still, very very worth it. 3000-5500 rpm is bliss.

Can't believe its been so long since I've updated this thread!

Project dual duty Z4M has been successful so far. I did do some mods to help out on track:
Hawk DTC70 pads
BC Racing BR coilovers
SLR solid FCABs
Syncro design works solid RTABs
Apex Arc 8 wheels
Kumho Ecsta V730s

In terms of trackdays, I did a few - demolished my laptime in the 3.0i at my home circuit and went to Willow Springs for the first time. Definitely didn't get told off for drifting at Willow Springs

No problems dailying except for picking up 2 punctures 2 weeks in a row and then a blowout 2 weeks after that

I'm now off to uni, but upon return I aim to sort out brake cooling (front pads got incinerated) and tackle rod bearings/vanos before catastrophe.

Took this photo up by Lake Tahoe last weekend. I was playing around with filters and found that you can use random pictures from your camera roll to filter your photos. Here are the results:



1st image is from accidentally taking a photo of a qr code instead of scanning it

2nd image is from taking a random photo of my friend wearing a green t-shirt.

Applied the same filter to a shot of the M from earlier this year.

Beautiful photos. Not sure I understood the filter thing on your photos. Did you do this with stock ios gallery?

Sorry, didn't see this till now. Did this with stock Samsung gallery. There's probably a similar feature on ios.

Thought I'd update this thread... Z4M has been doing trackdays and canyon runs as it's meant to

Had a few moments here and there (videos below). I also am not sure, but I think I set a new chassis record at Thunderhill East? Haven't seen any other videos or recorded data of a faster e85 chassis tracking out there.

Very cool thread. What spec ARC-8s? Fronts look unbelievable!

Thanks!

Front: 18x9.5 et35 with 255/35R18 tires
Rear 18x10 et25 rear with 275/35R18 tires

Well... the M is to be parked until next summer
This is now the 3rd set of tires its chewed through in just 6 months

Turns out I could only resist the temptation of driving the ///M for 2 months

Anyways, here's some pictures I took this weekend. The rears are from the old 3.0i as the Kumhos went out of stock

First long drive of the M since November. Car needs some TLC before it sees track again, but early oil analysis results came back good.
