    Z4 3.0

    It's either that, or 224's, but they're expensive and rarer. I'll stop spamming your thread now Dan :)

    Z4 3.0

    Yeah agreed, mental to think that the oldest ones are 16 year old cars now! 16 bloody years! That's because you're young, and ill informed. One day you'll get it. I don't think Dan's shoddy pictures help things... so I hope new pictures will change my mind!

    You’re wrong, but that’s fine... No centre caps but you get the idea:

    Z4 3.0

    On this note @dann2707 I may actually have the perfect set of wheels for you. Basically, I have a split set of 108's sitting around, four wheels, all with all 20 bolts removed, and none snapped. These days, when you try to remove the titanium bolts from the alloy wheels, the two have somewhat...

    E90 330i - Third Blue Motor On The Bounce

    So I went and a new car up from @Sir_Dave today, I seem to have a thing for buying the same colour cars one after another... I may as well do the background as I haven't really posted much car related stuff since getting rid of the Silver Grey 650i.... So after having 4 silver cars, I went and...

    172 in a mk1, Superfatdan's very very long project....

    The two of you are having a properly s**t race. Like, I know people say about tortoise and hare type s**t. But you two started, stalled, had to do a full rebuild in the middle of the track, and are now crawling towards the finish line. Got no strings you can pull at old place of work?

    These days, 3 grand buys an e90 330i ...

    It’s home: Thanks again Dave. Got a bit of list of things I want to do already, but I’ll make my own thread for that ;)

    Z4 3.0

    Glad you found one Northerner. Gear knob, you want a weighted ZHP. There’s a forum bmw dealer that sorts a bit of discount. Look up my old thread if you want many details/ideas. Spec wise, you missed multi function steering wheel (good option). Also that’s a weird ass exhaust tip?

    How much? Royally derailed this thread...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Ah ok, so you're looking pre-facelift right? So that's the M54 engine, chain driven, belts are technically an inspection 2 item, so should be done every 4 years-ish, however, don't let that put you off like it does in the Clio. You can change them yourself very easily, no timing involved...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Good man. With regards the z4, make sure you buy the "right" one. Spec is everything, as is engine. Some cars look like a bargain, then you spend half your life and all your monies retrofitting bits to make it as good as you want it to be.

    Flamer hack

    Really nice this, one thing, run the parrot cable through the vent surely??? Or is the plug too big? It’s a bit unsightly as is!

    Did you check the ABS ring on this new brake discs? Count the teeth etc?

    Should give those callipers a lick of silver hammerite when you do the fluid. Good work on the key though, nice to not have to worry

    Insurance, they're not all bad.

    It's got 6 cylinders and belonged to a Knight on here.

    Insurance, they're not all bad.

    So, my insurance renewal is due on the 28th Feb. I'm currently with AA insurance. They write to me with a surprisingly reasonable quotation, however I'm about to change cars. I phone up this morning and give them the details of the new vehicle and ask if they can do anything. To their credit...

    Why members don’t attend meets?

    Reading that thread, I thought ‘holy s**t’ a year for an accident. Then I read he was at home after 3 months, such justice system!
  19. Rob

    Why members don’t attend meets?

    Meets are what you make them. We used to have people that organise interesting ones, and people would attend en mass. I've been to some great ones over the years, but when I look back, the good ones were never just stood in a car park somewhere. If people got back to doing things like...

    1.2 8v Phase 1 - speedometer not working?!

    Just remembered the air box is in the way, remove this to get at it!

    1.2 8v Phase 1 - speedometer not working?!

    Where in the country are you? I’m sure someone can help out. It’s genrrally on top of the gearbox, if you can take some pics of your engine bay from a few angles, then we can probably point it out for you.

    Looks like my bean got written off this aft :(

    I'll weigh in here... So, I'd personally look at getting someone very reasonable in the local area (find yourself a small back street garage that have a decent enough rep), ask them to straighten the boot out. The whole locking issue will just be down the misalignment of the catch/lock...

    Failed Brembo brackets

    Or this chap! I’d be going steel all the way, it’s gotta be like 1 kg net difference!

    Failed Brembo brackets

    Jesus that’s crazy! You say about getting rid of the brembos... could just get someone to make up a new bracket, would only take a couple of hours in CAD and someone like @Knuckles to make them?

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Good thread this, but you’re hurting my feelings with the whole trying to keep it a super bargain thing. You got a bargain, spend the money to get it right and it’ll be a great car! Like the locks for example. I want to drive one of these and see what the fuss is about.

    R56 Cooper S JCW - You may recognise...

    That’s a superb looking car. Before I bought mine I tried so hard to find a green one and never could! Great buy

    Would you swap a ph2 for a Ph1?

    I'd have another. So much more connected. Phase 2's just feel a bit "normal".
