The MOT history of this car is hilarious. It has failed because of: The front lights being too cloudy. Left windshield washer too low pressure. Right windshield washer too low pressure (a different MOT). The airbag being "obviously defective" one two separate occasions. Worn brake pads after 5 years of advisories on them. Different lights being out on three separate occasions. A tyre being fitted round the wrong way. Nothing major, but bloody hell a simple once over before taking it to the garage could have saved a few fails.
That's all insane! IDK how anyone in the UK with limited means or car knowledge can even own one. If I had to MOT my car they'd probably take it from me and crush it to put it out of it's misery. Structural rust, dashboard like Christmas Eve (VAG); SAIP, ABS, oil temp sensor, and probably something else, leaking; oil, steering and coolant and probably a million other reasons to fail. All that and my car isn't actually half bad against most other cars with 200k miles. I guess I should be glad I live in "land of the free to drive an absolute pile of shit".
@@TheMadMadDaddy I don't understand how can you live in UK where average wage is so high and cars are cheapest in the world and drive old falling apart car. I mean how? And why?

11:50 Engine management light is only an MOT fail if the car was registered after July 2008. Before then its just an advisory. Edit: apparently this is only correct for diesels. I stand corrected.
Your wrong I’m afraid current mot guidelines state that the engine management light has to be checked on all petrol cars with less then 8 passenger seats from first of July 2003 if you have more then 8 seats it’s from July 2008 you can find the mot manual only the gov website and find it
Actually no because my old diesel pug failed because of it but then re tested with it on the ramp to knock the light off and it passed and that was a 2006

bruh imagine being able to get a z3 for less than a grand in that condition... in my country youre lucky if you find one for under 6k and it wont be in the good condition
Decided to take a look in my area and nothing under 4,000 usd. 6,000 for a halfway decent one 7,500 for a nice one. The car enthusiast bubble has skyrocketed prices on everything even remotely sporty. These have like 140 hp and you still pay outrageous prices for em.

Hard top Lowered Nice alloys Tinted lights Smoothed back end Blend that rear light strip in the boot lid Centre exhaust Good luck Ethan! Updated awaiting
Suggestion: when you were talking about what cars you were gonna get at the beginning of the video, show pictures of the cars you reference. Loved the video, cheers
yeah I have no idea how they can find a Z3 for anywhere close to £1k... that's nuts. Heck, the Z3 they found seems to be in good condition too... the very cheapest one I can find is 3x the price...
Things for Ethan to do (some purely for entertainment...), in no particular order...ok the order I thought of them: - Clutch (obviously) - Exhaust - Bumpers/full bodykit - Seats - Wheels - All suspension components - Brakes - New hood (the folding roof, not the bonnet) - Wrap the whole car, ideally metallic pink or BMW racing colours - Maybe a few E36 M3 goodies? - S52 swap...or 2JZ. - NEONS (just imagine Ethan in a convertible with neons and tell me it's not the greatest idea ever). Maybe spinners too.
I agree with all besides engine swap. M44 can make 550 crank hp with just arp headstuds and stock internals. Also the better weight balance makes the 1.9 z3 feel loads more nimble than the 2.8 and 3.2 models.
@@hojnikb you'd be surprised, and then it's the pistons that fail. The block and bottom end will hold around 600 as they are factory forged with just cast pistons. It is pretty crazy. I've built 3 of these little motors so far. Very underrated. My daily e30 318is is making 400 crank on a conservative tune just for reasonable mpg haha. I can send you some videos if you give me your email.
@@lakeshorerides Oh I don't doubt that the car can be better with the stock engine, but just imagine how funny it would be to watch Ethan trying to do an engine swap... ☺
I’m 16 and just bought myself a project car of my own, it’s a 2003 Skoda Octavia VRS Combi and I got it for €350. It’s pretty clean except for the fact it needs an engine 😂 Audi TT engine is a straight bolt in swap. That’s the plan 😁
Good luck insuring it pal. A 2003 VRS is a 180 brake engine and if you're planning on engine swapping, that's gonna be even more on your insurance. You wanna get a cheap 1L 3cyl to run around in so you can get a few years of no claims under your belt. That's what I'm in the process of doing cause I'm looking at a 1993 MR2 (W20) GT-i16 (rev 2) and that won't be a cheap runner for an 18-19 Y/O given the RWD, Mid Engine, 2 door sports car schtick given it's an insurance group 16 car. Be VERY careful about this car. You gotta think of insurance, tax, MOT, fuel, maintenance costs etc

Hard top
Lowered
Nice alloys
Tinted lights
Smoothed back end
Blend that rear light strip in the boot lid

Good luck Ethan!

"You can't have a project car thats automatic"
Well ill just put my mustang in the bin 🤷♂️😂
You said it. Truth accepted.
Feel the rush of air as all the car-show bystanders breathe a sigh of relief
You're allowed to keep it so long as you swap it for a grown-up transmission.
Best place for it.
"You can't have a project car thats an automatic" *best thing I've ever heard*
I strongly disagree on this
1st mod is swap gearbox to manual
Yeah what about the toyota aristo it had the 2jzgte stock but only a auto
@@ariyankhan4337 1988 Toyota Crown stock Supercharged 1JZ 4WD .... only auto
It's the project to fix that!
@@televisionandcheese hol up, theres a supercharged 1jz
Suggestion: when you were talking about what cars you were gonna get at the beginning of the video, show pictures of the cars you reference. Loved the video, cheers
I wish I could get a Z3 this good for under €6,000 (where I live).
Where do you guys live if you can't find a z3 for under 6/10k.....i wanna sell my car there
yeah I have no idea how they can find a Z3 for anywhere close to £1k... that's nuts. Heck, the Z3 they found seems to be in good condition too... the very cheapest one I can find is 3x the price...
@@HazewinDog you can find z4 for 3k,not tip top condition but still....
in Turkey the cheapest z3 is 16,000 € lucky me :(
It's £28,767 for a 2001 Z3 in where I live.
"you're going for a... Wide awake" 😆😆😆
I’m so proud of Ethan!! It was so funny but he did get quite a lot off the asking price with no help 😂😂
Jack and Alex just pushed the baby bird Ethan out of the nest and he's flying!
Things for Ethan to do (some purely for entertainment...), in no particular order...ok the order I thought of them:
- Clutch (obviously)
- Exhaust
- Bumpers/full bodykit
- Seats
- Wheels
- All suspension components
- Brakes
- New hood (the folding roof, not the bonnet)
- Wrap the whole car, ideally metallic pink or BMW racing colours
- Maybe a few E36 M3 goodies?
- S52 swap...or 2JZ.
- NEONS (just imagine Ethan in a convertible with neons and tell me it's not the greatest idea ever). Maybe spinners too.
I agree with all besides engine swap. M44 can make 550 crank hp with just arp headstuds and stock internals. Also the better weight balance makes the 1.9 z3 feel loads more nimble than the 2.8 and 3.2 models.
@@lakeshorerides 550 from a stock internals m44? That sounds insane. Thats pushing it even on M5x engines.
@@hojnikb you'd be surprised, and then it's the pistons that fail. The block and bottom end will hold around 600 as they are factory forged with just cast pistons. It is pretty crazy. I've built 3 of these little motors so far. Very underrated. My daily e30 318is is making 400 crank on a conservative tune just for reasonable mpg haha. I can send you some videos if you give me your email.
@@hojnikb my bad, m42 not m44 but I'd imagine it wouldnt be much lower on an m44.
@@lakeshorerides Oh I don't doubt that the car can be better with the stock engine, but just imagine how funny it would be to watch Ethan trying to do an engine swap... ☺
18:25 she can’t believe it’s TH-cam sensations Alex & Ethan
I’m 16 and just bought myself a project car of my own, it’s a 2003 Skoda Octavia VRS Combi and I got it for €350. It’s pretty clean except for the fact it needs an engine 😂 Audi TT engine is a straight bolt in swap. That’s the plan 😁
Amazing
VW corporate engines like those can come out of anything and swap right in. Makes for an easy repair when needed for sure.
U lucky u live uk
Not singapore
No Ireland actually
Good luck insuring it pal. A 2003 VRS is a 180 brake engine and if you're planning on engine swapping, that's gonna be even more on your insurance. You wanna get a cheap 1L 3cyl to run around in so you can get a few years of no claims under your belt. That's what I'm in the process of doing cause I'm looking at a 1993 MR2 (W20) GT-i16 (rev 2) and that won't be a cheap runner for an 18-19 Y/O given the RWD, Mid Engine, 2 door sports car schtick given it's an insurance group 16 car. Be VERY careful about this car. You gotta think of insurance, tax, MOT, fuel, maintenance costs etc
