Z3 - modified owner

[TeeJay]

Hi, new to the forum and club. I purchased a 1998 Z3 roadster last year and spent some time modifying it. It wont be to everyone's taste but I sure love it!

The list is long, but supercharged 2.8L, K+N induction kit, high flow injectors, Custom exhaust, coilovers, the works.

No issue with a modified car here. The ‘purists’ hang out on Pistonheads and other such forums

more pics and details on the supercharger...where are based?

Ditto what Dino said @TeeJay and welcome from me near Lincoln.

Hi and welcome from me in Scotland

 

[TeeJay]

Wow, what a nice welcome! I was a bit worried I was going to get flamed for modifying her.

Per request, I did a little showcase post here: https://zroadster.org/showcase/bmw-z3-2-8l-supercharged.153/

An added bonus pic of the engine bay with said supercharger.

PS: Are there any Z meet up days any more?

 

[t-tony]

Meets a bit thinner on the ground till spring rolls round. There are still some in the winter months though. Where are you located please?

Tony.

Hi @TeeJay, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. Looks good, have you had her on a rolling road to see what her output is?

Your car your rules

Hi @TeeJay, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. Looks good, have you had her on a rolling road to see what her output is?

I did get some numbers straight after the SC install, plenty done since then but it came out ~300 to the wheels back then. My SC handles quite a bit more, current bottleneck will be the pistons,etc and the diff. I've upgraded the diff but I have heard that with too much power you can tear right off the stock mounting. it's worth spending a bit more to weld a plate in the boot to reinforce it.
