ZMCoupe...

Another Zed but not a nissan this time!!
These are not everybody's cup of tea - like an acquired taste most peeps think they look awful, or class
I happen to think they are cool as..

Have been after one of these babies for a long long time. I used to have the roadster many moons ago and loved the way it drove - sitting right over the rear wheels felt great but this is soooooo much cooler and different.. and better to drive!

They hold their money fairly well so after looking for ages for a cheap/damaged repairable and having no luck this came up for reasonable money on ebay...

I had initially looked at this car 2 yrs ago when it was initially for sale - with 180K and a blown engine - the owner had started to do a bit of work to it but as it had no interior and no wheels and I had no way of getting it home from England.

So when i spotted it up on ebay again this year again with seats and a set of M3 wheels I just had to have it..

It's now got a low milage E46 S54 in it - remapped by evolve so goes really well

Currently my daily as has some tax/mot but over time it will morph into a daily drifter and then fullblown driftcar for 2015-2016 lol

Will get up to a few practice days and see what she's like to skid.. still a bit hesitant about going the full hog yet - stippin out, caging, sorting lock etc in case she turns out to be a bit of a donkey to slide in :afro:

[Mac_C]

Dam thats wide :afro:

Cant wait to see this sliding
