Smile Hello all, new member here :)

Hello all,

I live in Vancouver B.C. got my Z4MC few months ago.
She's a 2006 MC, Black on brown interior with Navi.
I used to drive a 04 Subaru STi, loved the AWD and the grips but I guess it's time for a change.



First thing I did was the stubby antenna haha.


Got a set of Apex EC-7 18X9.5 all around wrapped with some decent rubbers....Dunlop Direzza ZII 265/35/18.


Then I replaced the rear brake pads since it was already low.
Did an oil change, tranny, rear diff fluids as well.
Changed to UUC brake lines.
Also the Taillight Overlays from ROMEO

PM him for the overlays, great guy.



Like this set up so far.
Bought a set of PFC08 for front and rear then I went to hit the track!



Been to three track days with this car already and going again next month.
I'm glad and I'm happy that I switched to this car. Still miss the STi since I've spent so much time and work on it.
Anyways, this Z4M is a really fun car.
Alignment and some work that I can't do it at home are serviced by The Speed Syndicate in Burnaby BC.
They are really good and they know what they are doing.

Hope you guys enjoy and sorry about the pics quality haha

Will update again soon

Mac

Nice to see another Z on the track!

Good to see some solid prep as well.

I have the Direzzas as well, square, on my E36, and really like them. 4 track days so far and the grip is wonderful, break-away progressive, and they seem to maintain a good consistent level of grip during a session. Interested in your impressions as well.

Nice find and welcome--very nice car.

It's a fun car to drive on the track for sure, just need more seat time. haha
ZII are pretty awesome, but I got them kinda greasy at some point lol

My friend has square set up on his E36M3 too, he has e46 flares on it and he can run like 275 street and 285 R-comp for tracking. looks pretty damn sick.

Agree, the ZII get a tad greasy end of a session if I push them really hard. I have to manage heat or remember to back off a bit towards the end of the session.

So far so good.
No complains honestly.
It was just kinda annoying to do the rear since there's two for each side haha.
Brakes feel good at the track

Hey guys,

so i bought a set of stock muffler off from another member on here earlier in last summer.
Luckily my friend who knows welding cut it open and re-welded the piping inside.
I'm happy with the result and it's not that loud.

Here's the sound clip!
Ya....down to two primary cats in the header now... maybe FABSPEED later....
Any suggestions on which header I should get?

Enjoy!

Hey guys!

It's been awhile since I update this thread.
Just wanted to show all of you this set of beautiful FFD Evo2 on my MC.
Purchased them from my friends who developed this company and all the hard work they put into this awesome product.

Currently only one size, 18x10 +25. I'm still using my old tires ZII 265/35/18
I will switch to NT01 next year so I can run better time at the track.

Hope you guys like them!
