But surely if the cambelt was done at 40k in 2002, it might be worthwhile doing it again a bit sooner?

Perhaps its f*cked/timing is wrong? Ktec are very well respected on here & have an excellent reputation for mapping & loom building. Their use of gaffa tape is sublime.

Welcome to 2010.

I had a similar problem in my 2nd year at uni actually, everyone always wanting me to drive to the shops/town/pick them up, etc. So what did i do? I removed all the seats, bar the drivers one. Scrounging c*nts. To be honest, im having almost similar thoughts at the moment, not re: having no...

Yeah, the arches are lipped on the inside, retains dirt over time & rusts from the inside out. Same on the e36 & 46. Would have thought they'd change the design by now, but obviously make too much money out of replacement hand arches to care ;)

More pics/spec of the 206? Always been a fan of them ...

Ha ha, im just glad that my little car makes everyone giggle like i do ;) To be fair, the brush was only used on the lower door area, & on the sills, i prefer to use a scouring pad on the bits higher up, can get a bit more pressure on the paint to really lift all that dirt off ... Reacro's...

FYi, i was spending about 350 quid in track time cost, fuel, food & brakes/tyres per day. Then spent about 1500 making it mechnically perfect when it broke. All in all, excluding buying/playing with it, 6 track days have cost me about 3.5k in the past 12 months ...

Yup. I look forwards to the for sale thread in 5 months time, when its finished & they have completed 1 track day.

Do you own a Trophy?

Matt, just get a 182 Trophy, far more fun/cheaper to run than a 197. Which incidentally does worse mpg than my M3.

Think we need to rename CS www.bmwsport.net these days ... hello ex-PGAC member & current owner of my old 328 ;) To the OP. The standard 182 really is a joy, for me i would do the following: Carbon Lorraine pads (on track only, they eat paint/wheels, etc) Decent fluid & braided lines A bucket...

Ha ha, no problem. Dont worry, you'll really notice when the wheels change, will make a huge difference :D

Ah ya big gay. Its probably more Trophy than all the other ones, actually gets used for driving. Lots in fact. As Mike says, would come back perfectly if we could be bothered, the paints so soft i could probably push the scratches out by hand.

I generally regret selling all my cars, but i had a list, & i wanted to get through it before i was 30... The highlights, & the biggest regrets are as follows :dapprove: 106 Gti (2003-2004). God i loved that car (well both of them in fact, 1st was written off by some fool) 1st rung on the...

Bet you wouldnt get bored of that quickly :clown:

Yeah, the oil breathers fine, it was a vortex already, but i changed it anyway as id already bought the part ...

Yeah, was about 105k (think i wrote it in the book) so yeah, probably needs a change now lol!! Mind you, the schedule says roughly every 18k iirc.

Hang on. Are we talking about buying 4 pots to reduce unsprung mass whilst using 2118's? My 19" M3 wheels weigh less than they do lol. Simply buy some RC5 pads & never experience brake fade ever again.

Well, its a proper Trophy, so Sachs of course :D along with Sportlines and a Whiteline ARB. I carry a spare wheel/R888/toolkit in the boot for the lowz. Re: Reading, im from Basingstoke, dont think ive ever driven the Trophy through Reading - was probably .Luke. (in my old Trophy).
