Yes, ANOTHER Z3 added to the family.
Having seen the Laguna Seca Blue (by far my favourite colour) Coupe on eBay, and not being able to afford it, I was browsing eBay and by chance came across a roadster in LSB: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182512578863?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I thought about going to see it and had decided against it until house mentalist Stacey MADE me go and see it on the way back from work.
The respray was excellent and after taking it for a quick spin, a deal was done.
The details:
1997 car
2.8 litre engine
105k miles
M roadster seats
AC Schnitzer exhaust
5 series wheels, with an LSB line painted in
Reprayed in LSB from Atlanta Blue
The car was owned by the owner of The Body Motor Works (bodymotorworks.com), who completed the respray. The respray has been done properly, meaning that the entire engine bay has been resprayed (engine out) and I can’t find a trace of the old colour. All voids were also treated to Waxoyl
In the last 15,000 miles the car has benefitted from:
New soft top
New rear top mounts
New 3rd brake light seal
Speaker upgrade
Lower steering column bearing replaced
New front suspension arms
Front Powerflex lollipop bushes
New radiator and hoses
New belts
Water pump removed and checked
New clutch plate and flywheel
New catalytic converter
Replacement MAF sensor
Wing mirrors replaced
There are a couple of issues to be resolved:
The car is running too cool (temp is just above the blue on the water temp gauge). Assume that the thermostat is sticking
The viscous clutch for the fan is sticking – needs replacement
Rear spacers are too wide, meaning that the wheels are hitting the rear quarter panels over big bumps.
Brakes are not very good – new discs and pads were supplied with the car. Will also be replacing the brake fluid.
Hopefully most of this is going to be resolved tomorrow.
