Found a new build site!

Wow a 1999 Z3 M3 coupe with the 3.2ltr EVO engine based Sportster!
That should shift....

....but alas no updates after June 2006. I wonder what happened?
Perhaps it was the running total of the build costs? I think I would frighten myself if I listed all the sundry items like cans of Hammerite and carb cleaner, etc

Yeah, 320odd bhp would be bracing to drive! :D :D

I've sent the guy and email inviting him over here :)

It's taken a week or so to become an authorised user of this forum....

No updates because we moved house last summer and household DIY takes precedence. Nevertheless I am back on the build now.

Engine started recently. The car is with Marlin to have the bodywork and exhaust fitted. I decided that they would do a better job of this than me. Allegedly they will return it this week.

Hi Jeremy,
welcome to the forum.

Glad to hear you are back in the garage and have the engine running.
Looking forward to your updates.
Your Z3 based Sportster looks unique!
cheers

....some interesting mods.

Patrck,
perhaps you need a trip to sainsbury's to get some of those stainless steel measuring pots. Looks like they have a rolled edge and might fit over your exhaust tips? Worth a look, maybe just for the SVA.

That's a good idea Peter, I'm going to see if the bar we've made will pass them, then sort something else out later if it does not :)

Although i do need to go shopping soon so I'll have a browse :D

Hello Jeremy!

long time since I came to yours and had a quick look - have you moved far?

Mines about to hit the road after I got someone else to finish it...
