Artic Silver 2.8 track car project

[spurs fan in a coupe]

Purchased today and didn't miss a beat on the 130 mile journey home.

Bought to replace the 1.9 Z3 that I've done a few track days in, which has ST (manufactured by KW) coilovers fitted, so it has something to live up to.

A few things caught my eye to make me buy this particular car.

2.8 litre straight 6
88,000 miles
Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit suspension
Storm Werks weighted gear knob
Projector headlights
Stainless custom exhaust - mid silencer deleted
Custom steering wheel re-trim from Jack at Royals


So far, so good.

Updates to follow as they happen

First track day is mid-March, thinking of bigger brakes, but might just see how the first one goes.

Very nice, some good hardware on that, the parts alone cost as much as a whole Z!

When you next down at Lydden?

No need for bigger brakes, just bigger balls to carry speed in the corner

In the diary.

Those style 18's look extra wide at the rear in that pic.

Is this the one that was for sale on .net?

Will start with tyres and brakes, then go for the good stuff!

She's a peach mate. What about moving the coilovers over to the 2.8? If you look at realOEM the 1.9 and 2.8 share the same shocks.

Nice to see your new toy Andy and if you don't break it be good to go to some forum events if you get the time.

I'm hoping the bilsteins will do the job. If not I will be doing exactly that
