TVR t350c to a z4m coupe.

[the jollyrodger]

Sold the t350c and bought a z4m which i have a week now, best thing i ever did!
The z4m has'nt got that grunt and sheer power of the t350c, but i feel im able to drive it much faster, its so much, a better car in every respect.The only downside i can think of is the clutch is very hard to master and i do miss the noise of the t350c but the z4m sounds so sweet, i wouldnt change the exhaust.
Its red, so its getting a lot of looks and positive comments and ive a smile from ear to ear.

Re the clutch. Search the z4 forum for clutch delay valve delete / modification.

It makes a big difference.

+4 on CDV

I agree with on all counts, I had a Tamora, bag of ste compared to the Z4M coupe. You can really psuh the Z4M hard, drive it like a complete nutter and it just feels better and better. I was even more impressed at the 'ring'. Last of the breed, I think

I loved my T350t and do miss not having a TVR,but the Z4m is a lot more usable in the power dept,well for me anyway.

I'm sure there isn't much in it between the two,Z heavier of course.
These past 2 weeks I've had to use my Z daily to fill in for my broken Touareg.
I've done about 1200 miles and although it's been annoying at times round town/bumpy roads I'm sure the Tiv would have been even harder work.

The Z gives you more choices.

Very nice, whats the brakes?
Im finding it great having brakes again after the Elise and t350c, its a bit easier on the gearbox,lol.

[physprof]

well done that man..

for clutch ...CVD or start in 2nd.....

[Z4 Animal]

Std CSL brakes mate same as yours not so good on the track i have read a weakeness im afraid.

Some have upgraded to AP Gear but at around 3k not many funny enough.

I also did the CDV mod. Well, actually removal in my case, but didnt see that much of a difference. I had the car for about 3 months time and drove it everyday before i removed it so i had gotten used to driving with the CDV anyway.

You'll see a much bigger difference with it modified on non-M Z4's though.

I was between a TVR T350 and the Z4MC but the German won because there aren't any TVR specialists out here if something went seriously wrong....

Heres a good to do list:

+5 on CDV.
Tyres
Brake Pads and fluid
Eibach Springs
CSLs

[the jollyrodger]

How do you remove the CDV?
Is it a job for a specialist?
Cheers.

[Smirnoffmark]

Great looking car

It's a 20 min job for a good indy. Car on ramps, clamp the lines and disconnect CDV, then either re fit without one or knock the inner stopper from the CDV and then refit.

and then bleed the system ^ ^ ^

-5 on the CDV, i've never had an issue with it and found no improvement when driving a car with this mod carried out... Each to their own tho!

[khooni]

may also affect warranty on transmission....

if one cares about that sort of thing
