    MAF screens removal

    Still waiting on the honeycomb so decided to remove the metal gauze behind the front screen. I can see no reason for this other than the car was driven without an airfilter, even then the gauze would do little good. This can not have helped with the air flow or sensor reading the correct...

    Big thanks to Southernboy

    As per tittle, I decided to ditch the z3 steering wheel in favour of the z4,s. So after having a look round the forum found @Southernboy was making the adaptors, contacted and he sent me the last one. About a week later this arrived Clearly empty, someone had obviously opened it up to find...

    MAF screens removal

    So this is the plan, the 60deg honeycomb appears to, on paper at least, give the greater air flow. By fitting it into the filter outlet and removing the standard screen, I should in theory, have at the point the air makes contact with the MAF sensor, the least turbulent(straight) air...

    MAF screens removal

    Been looking at suitable honeycomb alternatives and found this, the plan is to fit this behind the air filter, before the MAF having the simota type this looks like it will fit in the filter itself. It would appear the air is straightened around 3cm past the screen so this should give me...

    Hi, certainly very interesting shame you could not test with thinner side walls, did you remove the wire mesh from behind the front screen? Andy

    #ZedShed Z3 Coupe, long term ZedShed project

    So after a complete debacle with the H&R ARB,s, I looked on OEM and found I have the sport suspension. Basically the front is 26mm and the rear 17mm, compared to the H&R,s at 28mm f and 19mm r. Came to the conclusion that it was not worth swapping or waiting for some even poorer excuse from the...

    Bertini-GT25-3-0-BMW-Z3-Kitcar-black

    I have wondered what a Bertini front on my coupe would look like, will have to do a Photoshop mock up. Always liked the look of that kit, to me it does not appear to trying to be something it isn't, unlike a few kits on the market. Andy

    For Sale New AC Schnitzer 2.0 2.2 Short Shift Kit.

    Nice piece of kit have to say I'm tempted, AC Schnitzer, outsourced the manufacturing of their shift levers to Valeo, the original equipment manufacturer for BMW. Construction is identical to the original BMW lever with modified dimensions, these are well made and just give a shorter throw...

    MAF screens removal

    Thinking things through, why not place the honeycomb screen in the air filter exit, in my case I have a simota type. This would allow a larger screen area to be used, looking at the video of the airflow/smoke test through the screen, the smoke appeared to be straighter or less turbulent slightly...

    MAF screens removal

    Thats looking good, are you going to do away with the mesh behind the screen. I was looking at it and feel it must detract from the air flow, now maybe more so using the honeycomb. Andy
