What have you bought for your Zed this week?

I've been looking at these too Tony for the e89, I have fitted Black Diamond 12 grooved discs and Red Stuff pads to both Ms and found them excellent but very noisy, I would be interested to know how these are when you fit them. :thumbsup:

I had the same discs on the E85 that Roy has. I was very pleased, good braking with EBC pads (UltiMax) no noise and little dust. I'll admit to painting the pads yellow though. Going to paint the hub and edge of the discs like I did on the others with silver paint.

Ok, so I didn't *buy* this, but I made it. Is that still allowed?

my Z3 has an affinity for absorbing water, so until I get to the bottom of it, it's staying under a full cover. Problem is I want to keep it on my driveway between mine and my neighbours houses over winter instead of my front driveway (it's also better sheltered from the wind here too). But when it's parked here there is no access on the passenger side to pass the three straps for the cover that go under the car and buckle on the drivers' side.

So I created a thingimajig. I pass it under from the drivers' side, tie the strap buckles to the stringy bits and pull it back under.

Jobs a good en!

Great idea John.

Tony.
 
Following recommendations on here and as the Zed is likely to be sitting relatively still over next few months, something to keep the battery in tiptop shape.

Since I fitted a 3.0 manifold to my 2.8 with a remapped ECU the exhaust valve has been permanently open. This sounds great but drones at motorway speeds (4 speed auto). Fitted this today, plug and play took about 15 minutes to fit and most of that was getting to the valve in the boot and finding a 7mm socket for the earth. It works great, I went for the closed at startup option. Now I have control of valve and was surprised at the difference it makes. It’s very noticeable when you can switch from one mode to the other.

The poor chap who comes to read that lectric meter won't be best pleased. Unless the house has a smart meter and the meter reader bloke has been sacked. Either way. He won't be best pleased.

I've lived here for 4yrs and the meter box has only been opened once - the day I moved in! 😂
 
Was that done in situ ? Good job if it was... if they had to take the dash out it might have been cheaper just to buy a second hand black dash
