Did you have a fever this time? Moditus rarely goes away, it just subsides until the host is vulnerable again. Hang in there Ian, you'll get through it.
Handy mod by the way.

Good job Ian. Once you have the Homelink it's hard to have an obtrusive opener especially in a pocket rocket like the Z.

That looks like it cost way too much to do so little.

If you are interested to get it done I could definitely do it for you.


and the suspension i was really wondering is the toe and camber kit you have.

With the M, I agree, too much effort to do so little.

No need for toe / camber kit...
The H&R are 1" drop
The fr camber is adjustable on the Z4, the strut towers are slotted.
& the rear has lots of adj. ....

I actually added camber from OE alignment spec & took most of the fr toe out.
The Z4M seems to handle extra camber really well w/o too much tire wear.
The car is better planted & has better turn in now.

Not too much really.

Changing the clutch pedal arm bushings to get rid of a little OE wobble.
A beefier, adjustable, clutch pedal stop.

Changing the strut tower braces to this.....


& installing this SSK
