E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

[Rob]

Saturday morning/early afternoon I'm free as a bird. That's not a bad shout on JD coming down, awesome place for detailing minus the dusty drive out!

JD?

So Saturday, copper grease back of brake pads, fit rear braided hoses and bleed brakes? I gave the pads and discs all round a look and they're fine.

Monday is fine for wheels, we'll have to take some pictures for the "project"

 

[Scrooge]

Whilst painting my calipers yesterday I noticed I actually don't have any rear pads left ffs. Time for the 256mm upgrade.


I've ordered the paper and paint so we should be good!

 

[Rob]

Paper? You've lost me dude. What paint? PM me.

 

[Scrooge]

Sandpaper, duh.

 

[Rob]

Something different for the track day:

Pictures don't do it justice!

 

[Scrooge]

Pictures really don't show how bright that yellow is

 

[Rob]

Looks much more like dark green..

 

[Daniel]

Why didn't you mask the tyres?!

 

[Scrooge]

They're coming off Wednesday mate.

 

[Daniel]

That'll be why!

 

[Scrooge]

They're all bald and cracked, not the safest tyres for the track lol

 

[Rob]

As above ginge, also, if you don't mask the tyres, five seconds with a wire brush fixes that.

 

[Scrooge]

Genuine lol'ing here at wire brushing tyres.

 

[Daniel]

As above ginge, also, if you don't mask the tyres, five seconds with a wire brush fixes that.

Stupid boy.

 

[Rob]

wtf is wrong with you both?

Reasonably soft wire brush (finer haired one) and it gets paint off no worries!!

 

[Daniel]

You're a bellend.

Why don't you just borrow a plaine from a chippy and make them all smooth while you're at it?

 

[AK]

LOL!

 

[Rob]

LOL!

Whilst I see the point you're trying to make, slinging a wire brush lightly across some tyres to get rid of some paint is hardly a ridiculous idea.

 

[Scrooge]

You're a bellend.

Why don't you just borrow a plaine from a chippy and make them all smooth while you're at it?

f**king brilliant idea, slicks would be great

 

[theduck]

I was wondering you had sneezed over you wheels. Better pictures needed

 

[Rob]

TBH it was dark outside and without sunlight you can't really capture how they look.

It seemed a bit of a shame to do this to them, as in grey they looked MINT, but they need to be at least a little exciting.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

They'll look better with some proper tyres on, not skanky cut up painted/primerd/snot covered ones..!

 

[VeinAST]

Hmmmm. Waste of some 32s I reckon

 

[Scrooge]

Not really, they're shite anyway.

 

[VeinAST]

Not really, they're s**te anyway.

Depends on the car..

 

[Scrooge]

That looks alright, but there's better wheels. Plus the ones above were in a right sorry state, like seriously bad.

 

[Rob]

Hmmmm. Waste of some 32s I reckon

You realise that's paint right? As in it could be changed?

They're not the good 32's anyway, they're deeper than the 18's I had on the 320, but they not staggered etc.

Haha I just don't see how they'd fit in with the tidiness of your car? Unless you're tracking the beast?

[Rob]

They're only for the track days mate.

Otherwise they'd have been silver or anthracite, they look SO good in anthracite.

Do you really think I'd just rock around on these and go to business meetings etc? LOL!

 

[Scrooge]

It does say 'something different for the track day' above the pictures...

 

[Jason_E]

I'm such a f**king trend setter.

They will be good for the track! Wouldn't run them daily though, of course.

 

[Rob]

Neither would I mate!

We (reads Ant) went a bit mental with the paint, it's florescent and there's s**t tones of it on there.

They look good enough though and are very fit for purpose, drive down to the track day with them on, drive back with (possibly two of) them on and then swap back.

Looks like you've just run something over :S

 

[VeinAST]

...

Thanks Mclad.

Well Rob.. I was wondering!!

 

[Laura]

[Rob]

Why so worried??? It'll b'reet!

Rob I keep waiting to see you outside yours when im coming back from my mums so I can show off the RS lol

Hello mate, when the hell did you pick up the RS? Awesome.

 

[Wick]

Track wheels are.... Different (I'll vouch for the fact they were an utter state before you let Ant lose with the crayons on them lol).

Don't bin it tomorrow on your special combo of part worn mismatched linglongs and wanli's!

 

[smitchell1]

I have had it just over a month now. Yeh I havnt seen you once since i bought it lol.

Its very different to the ST hahaha
