My Z3M Coupe

[Sir_Dave]

Check the throttle cable as well, they stretch & you only get about 80% of max throttle ...

Changed mine on the roadster and it felt like id added about 100bhp lol

Prices seem to have always been pretty strong with these, they just look sooo cool :race:

 

[Waitey]

I'd junk the simota, its only got the same filter as a 172 simota in it, it only really flows enough for about 240bhp...

Mine was that loud standard.



I made my own induction kit in the end.

w**kest video ever.....

^^^ did you smack the sump towards the end of the video lol

No.......

 

[Ali]

Great choice!

Does anyone else think the coupé looks hideous? I don't mine the soft tops though, I'm sure its nice to drive etc though.

Exactly the opposite for me,I love the coupe but can't bear to look at the soft top.

Cheers Ross.

Big thank you to Sir_Dave, on his advice i checked my throttle cable to find it was only opening 90% at WOT. A new cable should be with me by Thursday.

Still loving the M to bits. Getting 22mpg which im pleasantly chuffed with considering the temperature and 30mph commute use.

Gave the it its first proper clean today, only got these phone pictures half way through though, but they are about the only daylight shots ive managed to get so far at all.

Also swapped aerial for S2000 jobbie, fitted bosch aero wipers all round, removed the nasty stick on M badges from the rear pillars, oh and fitted a simota too.

Cheers
Tom

 

[Fletcher]

That looks great

 

[EllD90]

Thought about wrapping the roof black? Doesn't really flow..black sunroof, red roof, black spoiler. Looks very nice, any future plans?

 

[RDH]

That looks really really really good! Great colour!

Glad to be of service

Cars looking good, although im not a fan of the chromo door handles if im honest, colour coded would look much nicer! Re: the induction noise, they sound ace with the roof down! Oh wait, you dont have the gay version ...

 

[Topgeartom]

Cheers Dave, roof down lovelyness would be nice, but as you say unfortunately im not a fan of putting my penis inside other men.

Undecided on the handles myself, they arent nearly as 'obvious' in person but i think come summer i will colour code them and the rear spoiler.

In terms of future plans, although i swore to myself i wouldnt touch it, i'm considering some springs to drop it just a whisker, and im still not happy with how quiet it is for such a mental car, might have to look into reversible exhaust modifications of some sort.

I'm so in love with this thread! Keep it coming! I will own one of these one day, I'm going to make sure of it!

 

[Will.]

That looks MINT <3

 

[VeinAST]

Looking proper! My Coupe's overdue a clean!

 

[Ian_182]

Looks very nice.

 

[Magic_Johnson]

I miss my Z3M Roadster

Cracking looking car mate!

Ps new throttle cable and earls clutch hose works a treat

 

[R1XPH]

Rather be sat in it than looking at it tbh. Bet it's epic fun but IMO they're f**k ugly. Looks in good condition though!

 

[Waitey]

There is only one exhaust that makes them sound ok, but its far far far too expensive.



P.S. get that simota off!

 

[.Adam.]

Want.

 

[Eddie.]

Want.

You and me both!

 

[DanielJames]

Beautiful car. A rare sight (Actually I don't think I've ever seen one )

 

[Expired]

It's loud enough you mentalist!

 

[Topgeartom]

Made a little bit of progress with the M recently, swapped out the nackered old throttle cable for a nice new one which has livened things up a fair bit!

Also decided on removing the chrome door handle covers.

Gave the bus a good clean over yesterday using some meguiars ultimate wash & wax and a very quick rub over with megs ultimate compound. Also used a bit of stain valet on the steering wheel stitching which came up a treat.

Also dug out my old keyring cam to make a very quick video to try and show the sound of the thing.

New exhaust is on the cards but that'll be some good months away.

Cheers
