StephenG Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yuk...It's already so wide it only just goes in the garage. And I mean only... mod the garage then Kev I was originally thinking it wouldn't go in. It's so close like an inch wider than the wing mirrors.. You do know they fold in electrically, don't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know they fold in electrically, don't you Mine do but thats an optional extra on the BMW. I prefer to reverse in with them open and use as a gauge. Saves scraping the side of the car..

Chesterfield Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi Kev, Nice to meet up last night, was great to be treated to an overview of your cars - that Cosworth looks absolutely fantastic - the effort and expense you have gone to with that car beggars belief! And the BMW - well - what can be said? That is one very, very nice car. A glance under that engine bay was like peering into the engineering section of the Startship Enterpise! And the toys you have to play with! I'd be inthe garage for a week! Thanks for the Circle Earth kit, Im planning on fitting it tomorrow - though Im guessing due to all your hard work first time around, It will be a substantially quicker installation than when you fitted it. Cant wait to see it completed and in place! Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptist Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 A mate of mine has just got a spanking new black M6, jesus christ, does that thing shift. One of the quickest cars I've been in. Lovely thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus said what on earth were you talking about for so long. I explained it wasn't all cars, e.g. Las Vegas... If you get any problems fitting just giv me a call on the mobile. I also have some pictures with the engine cover removed I can email you. Cheers K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon, At 499 bhp and 384 lb/ft for the M6, your shiny new re-built twin will pi$$ on that - yes ?

Chesterfield Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Kev - Ive got it fitted! Looks great, and I think the idle seems to be smoothed out a little. I used the two bolts with allen key heads to attach to the un-used points at the top of the plenum (as per a "how to" guide I found). I've taken some photos, and will post up later. Thanks again, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well just on 4 counts I suppose - the thread is not about an M6, its about Kev's new car - neither is it about Jon's rebuild, that is a most interesting subject its own right and will have its own thread(s) - and I don't think its was about relative performance of 350zs vs BMWs, let alone M6s - and money hadn't been raised until the 82k was mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Dorian, you're joking right Firstly, this thread is not in "Other Cars", it is in "350Z General" so if you want it to be only about Kev's new BMW get it moved to the appropriate section. As it is in the 350Z section, I feel it is entirely appropriate to talk about a 350Z. Secondly, you're saying that everytime somebody talks about something that wasn't mentioned by the original poster, then it is off topic This is a forum where people discuss things, discussion means you introduce new ideas/suggestions/observations, relevant ( I agree not off topic ) to what is being discussed. Anyway, given your criteria, then in this post alone, why have you chosen to single out my remark ( which as I said was on-topic with the previous remark ) when the following have also been made :- Digsy and D4V3 GT4 - both mentioned test drives in Z4M Coupes Kev himself mentioned selling Zed bits Chesterfield talked about fitting a Grounding Kit to a Zed Baptist talked about how fast a M6 was A zillion more examples on this site, if you really want some more let me know Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
