As I recall, with a full roll cage, most groups allow you to track events (the Porsche clubs will let you drive a BMW convertible at their events sans roll cage - they have better insurance, apparently). I am sure he had fun with it, but adding up all the receipts listed on the eBay listing, even assuming he bought the car off-lease for like $30,000, he's got 60 grand into than thing easily - if not more. That same money, spent on a...

...as a matter of fact the driveshaft turns clockwise so when the torque is applied the mount is subject to compression (if any), not traction. The issue is the shift of the unibody compared to the suspension frame. The front rubber mount are soft rubber causing to give when you put a later load on the suspension frame. The problem is exacerbated when you take right hand turn as the unibody shift towards the left causing the diff to pull on...

Does anyone have a link to directions or the willingness to describe the process here? I'm getting a Leatherz center arm rest unit so need to get the cassette storage unit OUT. Thanks.

"The Z3 started out in life as a 4cyl design" The first year of 4 cyl Z3 was 1996. The 2.8L 6 cyl came out in 1997. Why BMW decided to launch the Z3 with a 4 cylinder will always be a mystery. But, being able to fit 6 cyl engines had to be part of the original design.

I had mine beefed up a bit when the issue first came up to prevent problems. The mount is doubled up and the seems were welded. I also tried Randy's first fix of spacers that reduced subframe movement as they were much easier than changing bushings. I'm due for a spring inspection soon and when she is up on the lift we will see if the preventitive fixes worked.

Don't take it to the dry cleaners- they'll make a big mess of it. The method I would use involves 2-3 steps. Step 1 is to pull out as much of the soaked in fluid as possible. Empty out the trunk and spread kitty litter over the carpeting- this sounds weird but kitty litter has been used by mechanics for years to soak up spilled fluid from just about anything. Let it sit for 2-3 days and then vacuum it up. Step 2 is to obtain a can...

is a Z3 owner and can't track his. He then went to a formula V, but I don't know what he's running now. Boston Green M Roadster

...and posted the DIY, with pix, on my home page. It did seem to be a little more quick to accelerate. I also removed the spare tire and tray a few days later, just for the helluvit. The car got real jittery over rough surfaces, so I remounted the tire and tray. I think my bumper weights are still in the bushes at the old house. Anywho, I'm a firm believer in Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman's philosophy of...
