Alex you're an engineer! Make a new metal bracket for the door handle!

For someone who wants to sell the car, he really REALLY doesn't try very hard. What with talking it down every chance he gets. Just crush it if it's so bad.

When pushing in a caliper piston, the easiest thing to do is use the old pad and a c-clamp and push it in and then you can easily install new pads.

The lines on the rotor are actually more for increased cooling than anything. They help with air flow over the rotor.

you should consider replacing the Z3 with a convertible FC RX-7. sounds like a great car to make content out of headaches but not be so bad that you just want nothing to do with it.

do NOT torque the slider pins to 48 ft lbs... around ~15 is enough, people on forums been stripping these for years

You can tell Andy is quite the skilled camera head, everything even the hardest shots are clear to the viewer!

Having installed several Miata rollbars (and owned 7 of the darn things over the years) I fully appreciate the struggle in this video.

A Z4 is a good car, but you can’t see out of it which is a big down

Not sure what the brake check was, especially the driver. But shouldn’t lock. Air pressure might be low in the tyres.

I had a car with an external bar shifter; worst ever, made chasing hard as a bush or something was wrong
