S'all about 224's dude, so much more OEM than the CSL's. Yep, castrol fully synth stuff, was about 13£ a bottle, you need two bottles. I really was dubious about how much difference it would make, especially when what came out of there was quite clean. I have a feeling mine has been changed...

Bloody awesome that there's now 2!

I went for a castrol 75w 90 as the BMW tech up the road recommended it. The genuine BMW stuff can only be bought in 5l bottles and costs just over £105 I was going to get something like royal purple (as everyone seems to say it's awesome) but I got this in halfords which was convenient...

Yeah maybe, the more I think, the more standard dampers, free springs, could be a better idea.

Thanks dude. Erm, it wasn't awful, but there's a bolt on the bottom of the alternator we couldn't get back in for a while, which was a bugger. Basically, drop oil, disconnect battery, remove air box, remove belts, remove alternator, then undo all the bolts bolting the housing to the block...

Sprayed catches could work nicely TBH. Never seen it before though.

I honestly think coilovers should be acceptable, but they have an maximum RRP. So no one can go out and spend 2k on the best stuff out there.

Although, thinking about it, your s2k was minty mint.

Couple of empty tonne bags over the top of either side when not used, and the belts need changing more often than if it's inside. Other than that I think it's just a normal one I think mate. Clutch was lovely and easy whilst it was up there!

Let it make noise, change it when your belts are due.

Ruining it? Do tell? It's getting big brakes, OEM xenon's (orange indicators), wheel refurb, possible exhaust bypass pipe to add to noise, m sport steering wheel, possibly the facelift front bumper... But that's an expensive one, I'd love an m bumper, but I'm dreaming there tbh. Not me, lol...

That looks cracking, normal wheels and you're a good'un!

There's so many of us in the same boat, I hope its only one season. Standard Clio, 15's, cage, coilovers with a rrp limit, fuel cut off and extinguisher, decent pads and discs. Can you imagine how affordable this would be and how many of us would partake?

I agree on it being a huge shame, it's the sort of thing I'd get involved I next year if it were more like I outlined. A cheap way into racing, where you won't be out spent by competitors, giving you a decent chance.

Cheers chaps, standard springs is a shame, they look and ride far better on eibachs apparently! I was trying to remember who that was! LOL! Cheers mate.

Cheers chaps! Oh, and I finally know how to get the xenon's I have sitting in the garage working. The LCM (light control module) is part of the light switch and just needs re-coding to change voltages for the xenons to plug and play. So they'll be going on as soon as my CD and cable comes...

Well, this hasn't been updated in a while... I've done a s**t load of mechanical work to the car in the last two weeks, namely: New clutch Gearbox oil Carried out here: Then, at the unit last night: Service New belts Oil filter housing gasket (to stop a small leak) I also managed to kerb...

I'd rather s**t in my hands and clap. It sounds like the racing equivalent of selling your soul to the devil. Also, KTEC racing maps, actual LOL! "Here, come and race, using a company who's mapping has destroyed countless engines. Don't worry though kids, KTEC will rebuild for £10,999 plus...

Very nice Samuel! Needs centre caps though!

To some of us, you ginger ball bag, a car is a big purchase, we don't all buy them like we do socks! Awesome news, updates ahoy! Got a lot of love for old BMW's.

Re: My new car. TTQS The BMW cost your 4.4k? Jesus!

Taken from a roof I was very nearly falling off of in Farringdon:

That lambo is just out of this world. It makes the clio look like a childs toy ffs.

It looks great Scott, still no spacers on the front? I really want some time with a proper camera with it!

Re: My new car. TTQS Luke wanted a diesel? LOL! He'll be gutted to not be the only one now.

Pretty cool that, I don't imagine finding some not so worn seats should be too difficult?

It looks really quite tidy! The massive tyres weird me out.

Proper useful comment that. I'd personally buy a tvr, but that information would be of no use to anyone.

Wire brush the bolt, check in the hole for anything that might have ended up in there, could be a little bit of metal or anything. Alternatively, have you checked both bolts are the same length? One may have snapped a bit off in one side, leaving one shorter.

Oh man, great news on the youngun!!! Such a nice car, I'd love it.
