Z4M GT4

[Z4MGT4]

Time to choose some wheels. Due to the escalating costs I have to make a bit of a compromise. The 3 piece split rims I would have liked were far too much and BBS CH don't come in the size I want. I am going 18x10s all round. In the Targa events I plan to do we are restricted to two spares so having different sizes isn't practical.

I am going for black and have narrowed it down to either Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 or 2Forge ZF1. The team Dynamics come in at £964.58 (Set of 4) and weigh 10.75kg the ZF1s are £939.98 and weigh 8.95kg. I am leaning towards the ZF1 for obvious reasons but I know that the pro race is a good strong wheel for motorsport and don't know much about 2forge. Any input is welcome.

Nice rims bud

 

[jimmybell]

those 2F ones look siiiiiiick.

Bodywork is starting to go back on. Wiring being done. Lots of stuff being delivered, AIM MXP STRADA dash, Tillet seats, plumbed in fire extinguisher, 2Forge ZF1 wheels. A ton of little jobs to be done!

Awesome progress.. is this in Tassie yet? which wheel size did you go for? 18? or 19? and which tillett seats did you end up with? Steve is a great guy to deal with. I hope you didn't grab the low side ones? easier to get in and out of the car, but no wear near the support of the higher side ones.

would love to see this in person once you get it sorted

If i was at this stage again, id probably would have bitten the bullet and ordered the floss man WB kit.

Looking great so far mate

have you got any more info on the engine, that vanos delete is going to make it a pig to drive unless your flat chat. id also love to know what duration cams you went with. :driving:

The car is still in the UK.

I went for 18x10s all round.

I went for the B6 Screamer as that is the only one with FIA approval.

I wanted to keep it to GT4 spec and a wide body kit would have made it ineligible for Targa.

You are welcome to come and take a look when it finally gets here !

OP, when the car is complete, would it be possible to come and see and hear it, before you ship it to Tas? I quite understand if you'd rather not, but this maybe the only time that most of us would ever see a true 'race' Z4..if not, maybe let us know when and where you are going to do your shakedown running?

Jem I was just thinking, it would be a good excuse to get a group of us together, to go and see the shakedown, to give Z4MGT4 some support..would make a very memorable meet up!

I will see if I can arrange something when it's done.

 

[AveZ4coop]

All looking good. Please keep the pictures coming.

 

[Manxman1950]

Update?

 

[Z4MGT4]

Update?

Yeah, sorry. Work on the car slowed down for various reasons. lots of little jobs done, Electrics are nearly there. Diff and diff oil cooler fitted. doors on, seat in, etc. Next up is fitting radiator and plumbing and making up an exhaust.

 

[Vanne]

Wow, awesome updates..

Somewhere along the lines you went from LHD to RHD, any notes about that? would really like to hear more about how you did that.
Ive been bumming and arriring about doing that for about a year now, but even after having most of the parts to do it, its still quite a job that I am not looking forwards to do...

(I wonder if I can run on track in oz with a LHD car?)

Just another question, and def not trying to poke at what your doing mate, cos I recon its AWESOME!!!, but did you re-weld the roof strut also? J schedule doesn't allow for having the driver head in the same position as the upper weld meet, unless you weld in the X.

But thats possibly a rule for building new cages, not pre-exisiting ones? not sure about that. either way, this is gonna be freaking AWEESOME!!!

Is that a diff oil temp sensor coming out of the diff casing?

Very very bloody nice!!
