The Ultimate BMW Meet with our BMW Z4 GT3

We have had a busy few weeks of late and so much happening over the next few months but that hasn’t stopped us getting out and about and enjoying ourselves meeting up with people at various shows, showcasing our BMW Z4 and the first outing this year was the Ultimate BMW Meet at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon Warwickshire and apart from the traditional British April weather the show seems to be a great success, especially with the Museum open for business which was excellent few hours seeing all of the stunning cars on display.

With well over 1100 cars on display there was a descent mixture, with more M3’s on display than anything else, we had with 39 Z4 on display all organise by Luke Blanks.

The next show for us will be the AdamCfest show on the 27th of May with Petrolheadonism at Mallory park, in Leicester, this is one show we have been looking forward too, with our BMW Z4 GT3 in the top 25, we hope to get the Porsche 997 GT3R V8 out to the same event, but we still have quite a bit to do on the car so that’s looking pretty unlikely, here is hoping the sun will join us for this event, see you there.

BMW Z4 GT3 V8 Street

It’s been a while since we have had the time to sit and write a post and we have so much to discuss with so many things going on at the moment, it’s been ridiculously busy but we really want to get back to releasing new blogs and what better way to kick things off ...our BMW Z4, yes finally our GT3 V8 Street build is complete and were happy to say all road legal, taxed, tested and MOT.

This build has taken it time, but for all of the negatives this build had along the way is all but forgotten when you’re in that driver’s seat, this car is next level out on the street, we have built some show stoppers over the years, but nothing comes close to the attention this car brings, it’s absolutely crazy, the grin factor doesn’t leave and its sounds like it looks, all we can say if you do embark on a z4 gt3 build then do it properly and install a V8 of choice, you really will not be disappointed.

Our V8 choice was the LS3 and we would highly recommend this option, our engine partners build and supply LS3, LS3 Twin turbo or if you’re after the cubic capacity you can request a fully built 680hp LS7, which they have also fitted in their Porsche C4S 997 R13 demo vehicle, but that is another story.

The weekend will see us join up with the Bilstein UK crew at cars & coffee which is happening at Demon Tweeks in Wrexham and we will then be heading to the “Z” fest in Leicester as well as hopefully heading to Stafford for the Max Power reunion in August, we will also be at the Gravity show at the NEC, so if you see us at any shows come and say hello.

One thing we have learned with this build is pick the your build team you want to work with wisely, doing the due diligence is key especially if they come recommended, or as we found out Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or any other of the leading media platforms doesn’t show the company in its true light, only what they want you to see, what should of taken us 12 to 18 months to construct has taken 4 years because we said “yes” to working with certain companies along the way for company exposure, all were desperate to work with us on this unique build, but we put it down to experience and enjoying the fruits of our labour and we now do pretty much everything in-house or with our reliable professional partners we now work with.

Now it’s time to enjoy this build and get to as many shows as we can.

FOM Performance Wheels

We have finally got round to adding the FOM Performance range of forged 3 piece wheels to our website, we have been meaning to get this up online for so long with time being the main hold up along with waiting on some decent imagery to display the product, but as they say perfection takes time.

FOM Performance 3 piece Forged Wheels

FOM Performance wheels are a European based manufacturer so that was a huge plus point for wanting to partner with them, another was the fact they manufacture in-house, which is another huge plus as the lead times are slashed by comparison to the competition, especially with 3 piece wheel manufacturing which can run into 6 and 8 weeks, some cases even longer, and that’s the beauty of this range of wheels, not only are the designs fantastic but the lead time and price is also part of the winning ingredient of custom manufactured 3 piece wheels.

As with any 3 piece wheel manufacturer a mixture of good designs, finishes and applications are key to a successful brand and FOM do not disappoint, with most vehicles being catered for to include one off bespoke applications and various centre locks that are on the open market, all the designs start at 17" size from a 6" width up to a 13" and plus widths, they also offer 18" 19" and 20" in the same widths and applications with a huge range of finishes, they pretty much have every design to suit all tastes, flat or concave centre profiles with reverse or stepped outer lip options.

One of our favourite designs is the Weave, and old school style mesh wheel, and we are quite partial to a mesh design, especially when it looks this good, so we are pretty please that the all new Speedwells 280ZX V8 Turbo will be wearing this design in 17" and 18" configuration, and the build spec is pretty epic reading with a 9x17 up front and a 12x18 sitting at the rear with some huge negative offsets and extremely large outer rims, it’s a build we have been craving to see finish ever since our good friend Iby started it.

For more details on price, design, lead time and what we can offer you with the unique range of FOM Forged wheels get in touch with the VAD team, we are ready and waiting to enhance your build.
