Hi All,
This summer I fulfilled a long held desire to own a sports car and bought a 2004 330I ZHP in Imola Red (6 speed). I wasn't looking for a ZHP car (just a manual E46), but I sure am glad I found it. After a lifetime of boring cars, its great to own a car that I care about and enjoy looking after.
The day after I brought it home, I took it to the autocross, but I couldn't race that day because registration closed at 9:00pm the night before and I didn't get back from picking the car up until 9:15pm. :-( I did make it to the next 2 events though. :-)
We have a great autocross facility here (http://goo.gl/maps/MxkLx), a 500' by 1,000' paved pad with no curbs or light poles to hit. Mercedes was using the facility for driver training that week, hence the SLS in the background:
Since acquiring my car, I've adjusted the handbrake, refinished my headlight lenses and replaced my DISA with German Auto Solution's DISA Gold Valve. I posted DIY's for both on a regional board and will upload them here. VANOS repair and Shark injecting are on my list of things to do in 2013.
Anyway, pleased to make everyone's acquittance and look forward to chatting with you all.
Stewart
