Finally got the new Alpine UTE-62BT installed. Went with this unit as it very similar to the Alpine I took out PLUS it has variable color so that I could match the amber/red OEM dash lights. Looks way better. The previous owner had about $3,000 in new stereo installed for some reason?? I suppose the oem radio and 10 speakers were not up to snuff. The Alpine I took out had blue lights and looked terrible in the car.

if you fail you car needs to be taken off the road or fixed..
bit of a pita on older cars I'd say... my other car had advisories for rust on the underside
I"m thinking, in 1 year 6k miles and new battery, left wishbone, new pads + discs on rear, tyres also @ 6k, no rust, everything works so maybe I"m in with a chance of keeping it on the road, maybe maybe
passed after replacing dust/dirt covers on the ant-roll bar linkage ball joint !! £48;60 + mot £35. Job done til next year. pretty good for a "03 car with 91k miles
Ordering more parts!!!

Got it back from my detailers last week after having a full correction and SI3D HD hit. It turned to 40k miles on the way to Garage to fit new rear Disc, braided lines and rear exhaust clamps 
Yesterday was 11.5 deg C roof down weather (+Warm hat and heated seat)
P.S. I've only done 900 of the miles but I really am enjoying it

Washed it - By hand, seeing as pressure washer No2 died...

My wife was away today so I decided to take my other lady out for a valentines lunch.We headed up Stanhope/Alston to Hartside-Cafe with plenty snow on road sides.
Unfortunately the cafe was closed so about turn and do reverse of the National route to Middleton-Teesdale and the open tea rooms.
What a variation in temp from 1.5 to 4degs.
The old lady still enjoyed herself and loved the big bath when we got home.

Recently bought this 2003 Z4 Roadster from a couple who did not take care of it. Literally stole the car and intend to give it a new life. Installed new wheels and tires today. Just love them. They are 18 inch a ride so much better then the stock 16's. Have ordered a Reiger full body kit, front air dam, rear diffuser and side skirts. Brakes coming this week as well. Owned a Z3 back in 2002 and enjoyed it for 5 years. Always wanted a Z4 and now it's in my hands. Love the way it drives and performs. I live in the mountains of East Tennessee and the mountain roads here are perfect for those drives you take just to feel the road beneath your wheels. 
Will post the changes as they happen. Great to be in a group that shares this passion.

Well yesterday I got up early to set about the suspension out on my car , wishbones , lollipops, f anti roll bushes , front drop links , rear coil springs .
Then realised with a bad back I wasn't really up to doing this .
Contacted my local garage and they managed to get it strait in , all fitted for just over £200 .
Got my car back and decided to give it a wash and polish n wax

Hi and Welcome! Sounds like you've got lots of plans for the new car! Why don't you start your own thread in the Newbie section?
Link here. Always nice to see the progression on a project thread!

I sprayed some Plastidip onto a pair of gloss black grills that I got from ebay for £20. (The gloss finish looks proper gash on my light blue Zed.) Gave them 4 coats over the day, now in the garage drying overnight. Will have a butchers tomorrow morning and see how they look on the car.
Also gave the car a 3 hour detail for good measure and I pulled out one of the foam bungs in the sound generator - which is probably the best free upgrade ever. Clever idea to design that into the induction system, now my sports car sounds much more like a sports car.
