Stew Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Well I'm always watching this place instead of sleeping! Nightshift is handy for that!

Quite a productive day. new clutch and flywheel new cats carbon strut bar carbon engine cover carbon cooling panel Samco hoses and to top it all off new set of racing harts couple of pics
Stew Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Those racing harts look perfect. They suit the car and kit to the ground. Spot on!
GIXXERUK Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 good choice martin, looks very z3 now (esp in the 2nd pic)
3FIDDYZ Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Schweeeet :-) Wheels look great Martin. Which flywheel and clutch you go for? Anything different, notice anything good? Like the StrutBar... GT-Spec isnt it?
NWZ Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I agree - nice mods fella - wheels are v.nice I didn't realise ESR were open on Saturday's....might be worth a visit sometime.
ZMANALEX Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Absolutely superb Martin :yahoo: A cracking set of upgrades mate
martinmac Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments guys and once again a big thanks to Phil and his team, things are rarely straightforward when I am there. The blowing exhaust issue which was causing me some concern turned out to be a damaged/grounded cat. The ECU was ignoring it though, very strange. I love the wheels, hopefully I have got a slighty subtler balance for summer with the 18s for winter. The drive back was a pleasure although it was less than spirited as it had been a long day. I was even overtaken by two zeds, an 08 Chilli on the way out of Sunderland and one that seemed very familiar, an 07 black coupe on the A66. To round off a really great day I was even treated to big smiles and a little bit of fun by a traffic car on the A590, good to see they appreciate sensible driving. One happy owner. As for Saturdays, Phil wont commit to meets on Saturdays as he may get a call from an owner needing help
ZeddZ Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 one that seemed very familiar, an 07 black coupe on the A66. 1st trip to ESR today and like everyone who goes says,they are a great bunch.Ordered springs and spacers for Sarnie when my 19's get fitted in the next week or so. Saw Martin's car,very nice wheels and a smart motor to boot. 550 mile since 12.15,arrived back in Perth at 9.00pm.First long run I have had in my car in a year of ownership and I loved every second.

I agree, half the fun is the drive and half the fun is oogling at all the goodies when you get there!
marzman Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Martin, simply stunning! Loving the wheels, and the engine bay is looking especially How long do you pla to run these rims before swapping to the winter set?
Sarnie Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 one that seemed very familiar, an 07 black coupe on the A66. 1st trip to ESR today and like everyone who goes says,they are a great bunch.Ordered springs and spacers for Sarnie when my 19's get fitted in the next week or so. Why not just buy rims that fit properly?
bronzee Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Mart, she looks absolutely stunning, those wheels suit it down to the ground!!! You must be totally wrapped!!!
IanS16 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Love the alloys martin and the engine bay looks now! Was going to comment that you needed a carbon engine cover before!
martinmac Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 You notice my car was moved from the garage to take pics, didnt want any competition next to it Ian
Ebized Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 The car looks ace Martin - the wheels are your best choice to date - no question, but how long will they stay on before the next set No wonder Big Phil is getting his GTR with the visits you make to ESR - hope you have insisted that when you next have to leave your car there you get to use the GTR as the loan car

Its OK Colin, I can keep up on a pc
Chris`I Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Excellent job, car looks spot on Now you're done, give Phil a chance to reply to my PM
AK350Z Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Nice wheels Martin! Whats Liz receiving in return? I will have to have another drive out this week to check it out
