All I want to do is go home and start playing :(

Where are you in Oxfordshire dude? It's not too massive of a job if you know what you're doing, and having done it before could give you a hand.

The silver 172 you saw is a real shed :p

Looks awesome dude, such a soft spot for these. That camp site, is that in Châlons-en-Champagne?

Very tidy, looks lovely.

Lol, gonna put a brick in it and take a photo just for you. Zeta, that is awesome!

Cheers Darren. Yeah, going to have it's first clean next week before it goes to the ring, not looking forward to cleaning the alloys at all.

Already had you in mind good sir! I'll let you know when I need them, will be over the winter at some point.

Z3 or E46 rack are both upgrades, both get equal praise but the E46 rack is a lot cheaper as they're easier to come by. Matt, Z3 shifter has been ordered, just waiting for it to turn up.

Oh god yeah. Just looked on www.reactcatalysts.co.uk, they sell them for £146.40 for a 172 cat, when list price is £847.98.

Pretty sure Renaults price for a cat is somewhere around 1k.

Don't start til 9, up at 6 for the gym though :rasp:

Sounds about right yeah. Wow, spotted quicker than the bright yellow Clio was!

His will be up for sale next year.........

We told him to buy the tvr as a joke when he said he wanted a new toy to replce his mk1 golf. The joke got out of hand when he bought one lol. It's an animal.

It's not as quick, but it delivers the power a lot differently. There's a lot of low end, but then a good kick at around 4k. There's certainly enough speed if you want to have a good blast, but overtaking slower cars takes a bit more thought than if I was in the Clio. Mine was dyno'd at 176bhp...

So three days in, and still loving it. Parked it next to my mums 1 series convertible yesterday, and the size is crazy. The only way the E30 is bigger looks wise is the length, and that's not a massive amount! The popped for a drive with a couple of mates. One who owns a 4.0HC Chimaera...

Looks like an awesome day.

Awesome car Russ!

Wow. I love this car! Picked it up at lunchtime and went on a nice country road drive on the way home, stopped off in Bourton On The Water and had a few people say how tidy it was. It drives amazingly, and that noise. Childhood dream was definitely worth fulfilling.

Easy as dude, I'd never done them before when I did mine on my 172 and found it a piece of cake, followed the guide on here.

Sunday afternoon can't come soon enough, I'm so excited!

I R Exite.

In London that weekend, or it could of been done.

Ha, in the words of my mate, I "finally lifted up my skirt, grabbed my balls and acted like a man".

Away this weekend, and plus, without better brakes I'd kill it on a track lol.

Cheers Ian. Just spoke to automax jp, booked in and total around the £200 mark, winner.

I get it Sunday dude, so we'll sort a mini meet or something. I'll give them a call, tried a place in Oxford, place in Brackley, and then a specialist somewhere I can't remember lol.

So the three places I've called have all said in between £500-£600 for cambelt, aux belt and water pump fitted. Wow. Anywhere you'd recommend Rob or Mike? I don't mind paying the money, but don't wanna be screwed given the price you said it should be around.

Cheers chaps, seems there's a few good places near to me so will make some calls this afternoon.
