What did you buy your Z4 this week?

Digs · 02-27-2016, 12:33 AM

Ugh, sorry to hear about all that. Hope it all comes together soon and you get your camera out again! Your last photoshoot was special.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was definitely a rough day when I picked up the car from the body shop, and it it was misfiring like crazy and barely running. Thankfully it's mechanically back to normal now, and once I get the reflectors and mstache put on, it'll be back to normal. Then on to new and exciting things.

But I really, really, really want to get this.

Who sells that? I think you'll really like the weighted shift knob. It still amazes me how much difference it makes.

I bought a car

StickMon · 02-27-2016, 12:24 PM

ContiSportContact 5 SSRs.
Don't hate me. Had to compromise in the interest of self-preservation.

You wouldn't think getting new tires would be a lot of work, but I spent over an hour picking bits of double sided tape off the wheels.
My back is killing me from squatting over them, and my fingernails are worn down to nubs.

I bought my zed a tank of gas. It may not sound like much but, where I live, they salt the roads in winter -- and it is winter. So the zed stays in the garage. But we had a LOT of rain over the past week and the roads were clean and so out we went! Stopped at the local no-ethanol station on the way home. A good day.

What's up Salty?

The AC Schnitzer version lists for $495 but it's on sale for $350.

GasLock makes it for them (I am fairly certain) and its on eBay sold through a German supplier for $281!!!!!

https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/262064790786

I like how cool it is and it adds some cool tech to the Z4 although it is more of a digital trinket. It's very functional. One day soon it will be mine.

Cool. Looking forward to seeing it when you get it. It would look good with those digital gauges that go in the side vent.

Salty, you were right. The previous shift know was long and very top heavy due to its material.

The shifting action was "off" due to its length and weight.

After I installed the ZHP shift knob and pulled out of the driveway, with my first 2-3 shift felt natural.

And the shift knob sits much lower which may take a drive or two for me to get acclimated to its height.

I am now considering that if I get LED shift knob that I will have that "off" feeling with each shift again.

I will get used to this one for now because my first short trip to the store made me a believer.

Here is the janky shift knob my car came with and then the new ZHP knob.

I see that it's "the ideal accessory for the sporty driver who at any time fixed wants to have control of his vehicle under control."

Always good to have control of your vehicle under control.
It's mandated by the Ministry of Redundancy Minister.

But, seriously, how does it know what gear you're in?

Edit: Just had to look it up. Tilt sensors. and "We assume no warranty for correctness of the display."

Now that you found this forum you'll find no end to the ways to spend more money.

Bought and installed a set of 18" VMR V710's!

Currently have crappy night pictures. Waiting for it to stop snowing so I can get a decent picture. These are coming from my phone so hopefully they aren't huge.
