    E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

    Yeah, thanks :( I want to get those wheels on though, like sharpish. When can we :D paint? You love painting.

    My memory is waff, sorry. :o Good choice though. I want this hard top, I just needed the moral support to stump up the funds.

    I don't know what you're buying next? We've never met? lol!

    How's your clio doing? Masculine car right there. ;) I can't believe there's so much hardtop hate. I'll probably buy one anyone just to spite you all.

    I think it looks alright TBH, another picture: Or on my wheels:

    E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

    There's a picture earlier on of one looking badman, grey hardtop grey wheels, but I do agree, it's a bit... big pimping.. and not really what I'm going for. The hardtop is just really good for the car in the winter, it improves the cabin, negates any possibility of water ingress into the the...

    Hmmmm. I quite liked it :(

    Really??? It's about 900x better than the porsche item.

    LOL! Personal preference and all that, that actual hard top is for sale. I could get it for £700 I think. It's a lot of money, but it's 100% refundable as it'll sell for that ALL day long.

    Why not? Useful in the winter, prevents motor failures etc and makes the cabin a nicer place to be.

    Now important question, hardtop or not?

    E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

    That's what I thought, red or black. Only two options. Silver car, silver wheels, bit of contrast is sweet. So red'll do nicely. Someone at work is going to build me brackets for free, fortunately I'm competent in CAD, so I'll be designing cardboard templates etc, then drawing it up myself...

    Yeah fair enough, I suppose there's too many dodgy types in the north for it to be unheard of. Around here I could write it in marker pen and the old bill would think it's fine.

    Dude, seriously, it's no different to swapping panels about. If you officially scrap RACK, then swap the chassis from one to another I'm sure you'd be fine. Are they removable plates on them? If so, crack on. Drill out whatever, rivet it back on, cover your hands in grease and s**t, and smear...

    MX5 Number 2.

    Can you not just swap the chassis numbers? I mean, it's more your old car than it is rack? Engine changes normally = dolla no? You've got some balls doing that kinda journey by public transport mate, sod that.

    E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

    LOL! They are STUPID, but as long as I can make them fit they'll go on. I'll be buying the rebuild kit for them, rebuilding them and then re-painting and brembo logo'ing them. I think Red, everyone disagrees, opinions? Black just seems boring.

    Hmmm, I'd get that hub nut sorted too whilst it's at the welder then mate, get him to weld a nut to it or similar so you can wind it off. Why aren't you going to use the original plates? What did I miss? Just read right through, great work!
  18. Rob

    MX5 Number 2.

    Awesome work mate, had a skim last night about to read through and catch up. You still got the hub nut issue or is that solved? If it really does persist, grind two sides dead flat then wang a nice big spanner on it.

    Mine started like a birds chirp, it's now far louder, but as you say, rotational.

    Yeah I won't bother with //M bumpers, but the facelift is nice. TBH when I look at picture of mine, the normal bumper does look good, I'm just not happy with the finish.
  22. Rob

    E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

    Yep that's the one mate, considering splitting it down and selling to buy a facelift bumper though, I'm an idiot I know. I'll probs get that one on first TBH, sell the one I take off, as mine is a let down.

    Must be an aftermarket decent looking option? Short FTW:

    Do they do a shorter gear knob? It's a very similar centre console to the z4, and fitting a weighted short //M gear knob made a huge improvement to how it felt to drive. No dyson? Lazy b*****d.

    New mats will make the inside look 100x better but jesus that looks good. Just so simple and clean. Love it.

    SSD over a normal HD in a MBP. Can someone explain why they are better?

    There's been hundreds if not thousands of reports of lots of SSD's just stopping working. HDD's do fail yes, but from what I've heard the risk is higher with SSD's but as Tom says it may be older ones? Seb, time machine is just the apple backup, but it's awesome. Plug in an empty HDD...
