    Few pics of the M5

    £12k under warranty? Surprised there isn't a max claim amount! That's absolutely awesome to have all that work done free of charge. Who is your policy with, or did you buy the car from a BMW dealership and covered under them?

    Sad times.

    Is it actual sacrilege to say I actually preferred the look of it with the stickers. :grin: Those photos from the Alps are just stunning. Not a bad upgrade anyway, looking forward to seeing some photos!

    Graham's summer 172 cup track car

    Nice spin at 1:30 and a near one from the sliver Clio at 1:03 :grin: Oversteer or just a bit of slippy track? Just wondering if you could counter it by adjusting rear suspension or arb or similar?

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Yep I was looking for some that would just plug in didn't require any modification, happy with the results! Does the sound deadening make much of a difference, and is it heavy? Wow Audison is pretty expensive stuff. But with car audio, I guess you get what you pay for!

    Nah stripped rear, got a full boot carpet which helps though.

    James' 172 Cup Project

    SXE-1325S Straight fit, plug and play, literally took 2 minutes to do both sides. £30 brand new off Amazon, not a huge difference, but for that price you can't go wrong really! Thinking off sound deadening some of the car now, especially the rear just to lose some road noise.

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    Cheers for the offer Mick, I'm busy this weekend myself unfortunately. Gonna swap the gearbox oil over later this week see if that cures the problem, not holding my breath though, maybe next Saturday I'll pop round if that's not an issue.

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Couple of quick jobs done this morning. New style RS badge fitted Picked up some Alpines for £20 off eBay, 2 minutes to fit and a great improvement over standard speakers. Should have done this months ago.

    Bringing the shine back after a debadge!

    I stand by G3 scratch remover, awesome awesome stuff, but even that couldn't remove the mark left my the Renaultsport lettering. Don't bother trying by hand, it won't work. Get a machine polisher on it. (I just covered it up with the new style RS badge haha)

    RyG's RB182.

    I know they serve a purpose , but I have to agree with this. If it's not too late, please don't go cutting a massive hole into the roof of your really nice little car!

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    No prob, iphone microphone isn't too great I know the video is really quiet for some reason. I am leaning towards taking the car, once new year holidays are over and I can get away from work for an hour or so.

    Tesla time

    Those doors are hideous, surely you'd just feel like a knob getting in and out every time?

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    Haha, not sure why it's playing videos from that playlist. I've got another video for you, may be a bit more useful. I've tried filming whilst driving (naughty naughty) but the car is just too loud you can't pick it up (induction kit & stripped out). Please turn the sound up. Could maybe...

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    Try again now lads, made the video public. Steve, I can’t double check right now, but I’m pretty sure the noise remains in every gear, including 5th gear once letting off the accelerator and decelerating. What were you thinking?

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    I'm heading towards clutch/release bearing? Gear changes still feel slick though, and the clutch isn't slipping. God knows

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    Hi guys, Some of you may know that after a fair bit of work my Clio finally passed it's MOT a few days back. Well, that happiness and relief has been short-lived, as the Clio has decided to stab me in the back and throw this one at me In fairness that video makes it sound worse than it...

    Second car - Clio Turbo

    Here's an idea... Before you spend another penny on that car (including fuel), get some spacers or wider wheels on it. Rear bumper and wing look great but completely ruined by the wheels which sit about 7 feet inwards Bit harsh, but yeah lose the lights and the stickers as well...
