Z1 Master hose set. Found new levels of pain and frustration installing this. Hope it was worth it for the long haul.


To go along with Koyo Rad, water and water wetter.

Very very awesome thread!! Stat from bone stock, take good care of the Z, upgrade the Z step by step based on the driver and the car together, function is highly focused. Awesome, very awesome! Motorsport is Z's natural habitat, great to see such a nice 03 Track version in action and taken care of!!

Thank you!

Had another two day event at thunderbolt with the kink. Best time was 1.45.1
Couldn't ask for more perfect weather.
Brake pads are all used up. New rad and hoses performed flawlessly.


Club racing as well!

Another great weekend with BMWCCA NJMP lightning. Double drove the car with my wife. Not one issue. ABS is still annoying, gas gauge is still flaky.

Drove a 1.21.36. Had a 1.20.xx in her but hit the damn fuel cut on a low tank. Will be back to break my record end of the season.

Did some landscaping turn 3

Finished up my season, all is well!

Super WET day at limerock. Got soaked. First time with the Z at limerock! Need to get back in the dry next year, my PR in the MR2 there is 1.07s. Want to try and beat that time.


NJMP once more to lightning, could not beat my PR. 1.22.3 Slightly disappointed I didn't manage a new record for myself. Kept hitting fuel cut badly.


Winter plans: Remove more weight from the car. Setup a fuel transfer pump. Rear end complete whiteline bushings, since the front has been done for some time now. There sure are a lot more in the rear!

Dropped the rear subframe. All new bushings and refresh for the winter project this year.
Also will work out the fuel transfer pump to fight the fuel starve.

Ha! That's is just epically awesome! Is having a lift in your garage similar to being the guy with the pickup truck in the sense that you are always being asked for favors? LOL!

Ha!!! Yes. For sure. But it's also a great excuse to get together with friends and work on many differently types of projects I normally wouldn't have exposure too.

are you still fighting against the ABS? There´s a french Z Driver who has completely disabled the ABS. you need to disable the G Sensor in the Centerconsole. here is the thread in the French Forum
