Ooooo I like that alot.....:thumbs:

[Neil M]

That looks a very serious bit of trackday kit, you've got yourself there. :drool:
I bet you can't wait to give it a blast at Oulton (just for starters, being probably the most local).:thumbs:
There's a few coming up later in the month: http://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/oulton_park.htm (http://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/oulton_park.htm)
Hope it performs as good as it looks.

[CSLSEM3]

Very nice!
Congrats on the new ride.

Did it come with much documented history (logbook) etc?

[chrisburns]

Oh now that is lovely :smt055

Afterthought - Congratulations on your new purchase (I forgot, carried away by the images)
It just needs some 'M Sport' graphics and the obligatory BRSCC on the wings or doors and it will look muck quicker standing still. :notworthy:
Hope you've got a Trailer or Transporter, that's the only way that little beasty will get a go on the M6.

Very familiar looking. I was looking at this a while back when I saw it up for sale. Looks a cracking motor and a reasonably good buy for a well kitted out Z ready for track. Enjoy and keep us posted on how you find it. :thumbs:

Hope it is a good buy as you said. The past owner made it track friendly with the Butler Motor sport company.

M3 manual gear box , uprated friendly clutch and some other goodies. Hopefully a very much arrive and drive type car. Who suits me.

Hmm. Well i thought all race cars came with logbooks which basically documented which races they have been entered into.

Either way, it lioks like it will a total blast to drive...all that power in such a low center of gravity....:beer:

Thanks for info.

The car was sold by Butler Motorsport to the owner. I think it has run on Kumo races and other before. I am sure some docs must be available. Will fish more into it.

[LeinsCSL]

Congrats Eduardo :thumbs: That looks brilliantly mental, love it! :smokin:

They will send me an e-mail with all History of races from 2008 and when it came in the country too :)

Mine won't be as hardcore as Butler Motorsport made it track friendly for owner. Manual gear box , easier clutch, ....

Lovely looking motor mate... Just as I ponder on selling my Z I see this and wonder how further down the slippery slope I could go... :notworthy:

420hp in what I'm guessing is a sub 1300kg Z just sounds like lots of fun - might just make the trip up to oulton next month for a nose....:thumbs:

Thanks. Should be fun I think :)

The car will be coming with wets and slicks. Would have loved to get the feel of the car on Cups or 888's first, but let's hope weather in December suits the slicks :( Probably asking to much :)

Eduardo.

[Eduardo]

D-1 to pick up the car. Hope all goes up to plan :)

The frustrating bit is that i won't be able to have a go. Only on the drive :bigcry: ,
then will have to await the 1st of December and then March/ April again :bigcry:
At list will enjoy polishing it at home :thumbs:. Will post pictures .

Eduardo.

[Eduardo]

New photos :)

Car at home and few mods already. Some Yokohamas for the moist Oulton park at times, and for the snow it looks like it :(

It's looking good from where I'm sat (Stockport)
Do you have a set of CSLegister Trackday plates? http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4783&highlight=track+plates (http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4783&highlight=track+plates)
Just needs its 'M' graphics and you in business. Don't know yet, if I can add my support at Oulton. Best of luck Eduardo.

Thanks, awaiting for M graphics to arrive :)

Will be a slow one at Oulton if frozen track. Can't wait for March thought.

this z4 could be practical for women too, like using the spoiler for ironing :-D

Do you want a Rally style sticker like the attached; with your username, (it has a clear background) and a ring sticker? :supz: PM "sailorbaz" if you do.

[Eduardo]

Thanks for proposal Neil , ( Stickers :-D ) . Will look into it.

Will post some photos soon too. Some of the cars here http://bookatrack.com/-pX?21670

Very wet and cold in the morning, dried up by the afternoon but cold. Very slow for me this time :-D . Good for a taster of the car as never drove it before. Few little things will need to be sorted during the winter with a new service.
The Motec system will need a slight remap as very juddery power on light throttle, few sticky moments with back end sideways due to that. And few times a bit of vibration on deceleration. May be the mounts. Have until march to sort it :)

Eduardo.

Amazing track toy..! Enjoy it in good health:thumbs:

[_Nathan_]

Looks lovely, same loom guy who does looms for me :thumbs:

Give me a shout if you want to discuss anything MoTeC, have lots of experience with S54 on M800 and can point you in direction of the best mapper for that engine, can also have a look over your map and see if there is anything I'd have done differently. Does it have ABS \ TC?

Edit - Just checked my records - I updated the PDM configuration in that car Nov 11.

[Neil M]

Might be of some use as I've already mentioned and relatively local:

No ABS and no TC. Just hardcore stuff :smt087 , scary at Oulton in December :)

It defenetly needs a service as the mapping seems awfull at low revs whilst not on full throatle. Made me almost spin few times in the wet.
Was thinking of taking it back to Terry at Buttler Motorsport as he built most of the car to it's present specs but will defenetly consider your help in mapping too. Don't know if mapping is Terry's forte but didn't speak to him about it yet.

Thanks again for the offer.

Eduardo.

[_Nathan_]

No, terry outsources mapping, terry is a really good guy though, makes some nice cars.

Just to be clear I would be simply passing you a name, not making anything. The guy I would recommend mapped the Geoff steel 24 hour winning car on my recommendation and made a big difference over the previous map in terms of drivability.

He is not local to the North West by any chance :) ?

Nope, won't be the guy who mapped it last time either.

[Eduardo]

Nope, won't be the guy who mapped it last time either.

Was just wondering how far i had to go :)

Does he do home mapping :wink: ? wilst the car is sat at home in garage nice and warm ? I do a nice espresso , if not my wife has a Spa ( a complimentary chest wax might tempt him ? :) )

Eduardo.

[_Nathan_]

If it has logging in the dash or ECU the best bet may be to do it at a circuit and get feedback from you and the logs after each session and alter before sending you out, if it hasn't got logging then we can enable it. First step would be to look at some logs from your previous outing combined with a description of what is happening and under what conditions.

Failing that he'd travel up to a dyno near you.

Makes sence. Will have it looked at shortly. Will get the car serviced first as no outings until March now and then will source help.

The problem seems to be on the 1st 1/4 of the travel of the pedal, even on neutral. Like if somtething is clugged. The iddling is fine, it's just that 1st 1/4 quarter. Presume it's mapping.

Thanks.

You Sir, are a very lucky man. Many an hour was spend drewling over this on Pistonheads Classifieds.

The drewling bit is what made it for me. Took me one day to give an offer.
Always a gamble when you don't get to drive the car but all seems to be going the right way surely when servicing and re-mapping is done :)

The Golf was mental. The fastest thing i ever drove. But was lacking the garage WOW factor. Didn't want to look at it when wasn't driving it.

My wife thought it was the "Inbetweeners" car and warned me to leave it in garage well hiden from neighbours.

So told her i did a straight swap with BM with no money exchange :whistle:

First words were, that looks expensive :smt120 , followed by "how many tyres do you need ? Only two sets of dry and one of wet :whistle: with a quick shut down of the garage door and my favourite say " It's an investement Darling" "Trust me" :wink:

Followed by her favourite say "Trust me there will be no happy ending with that story" So here i go again :wanker:
