I'm selling my barely used Nokian winter tyres in 195/45/16. Ideal for Cups in the killing season lol. 3 months use and all have 7-8mm tread. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nokian-WR-A3-Winter-Tyres-195-45-16-/131160214369?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item1e89c20b61

You cant paint this yourself without the proper paint, guns, lacquer etc. If your using rattle cans then dont bother. If you trying to paint in this temperature its never going to work. Needs to be approx 20 degrees.

Not sure at the moment bud hence this thread.

Belts done at 44k with dephaser.

Mondial blue 172 Cup. I bought it on 41k and its now at 60k miles, part history with loads of receipts and most MOT's. K-Tec stealth exhaust. Excellent bodywork with no dents(my mates a PDR tech so ive kept on top of it). Ive machine polished it a few times and it looks very nice. No scratches...

Doesn't look like they are doing interest free this year.

I've for a set of Nokian WR A3 waiting to go on my Cup. They appear to get good reviews online. 195 45 16 were £300 for a set. Watch the online prices rocket the moment the weather gets really bad!

Where is the cheapest place to buy new/reconditioned rear calipers?

I'd be terrified of tuning one of these with the known engine problems. Great looking cars though. I'd have one.

Welcome Lee (spoke to you on your FB post yesterday) Ben

I'll believe the c63 when i see it. My mates a pilot at captain level and finds the running costs silly. I worked for MBUK for 10 years at their defleet centre and often saw costs at 13k plus for running and maintaining a C63 for a year. I'd do some in depth research before taking the plunge.

Im sure cambelt is engine out. Good luck.

Yeah definately get a nice one for that. I wouldn't get too obsessed with mileage. I bought a low miler and have ended replacing all the suspension plus cambelt and dephaser.

Unless your friend has all the correct timing tools it will still be wrong. Do a search on here and you'll see thread after thread with the same problem.
