No need for pumps. Garden hose in the side with a funnel is all you'll ever need. Double check the car is level and when there's enough it will start to drip out the hole.

Hardly a big deal to save a few hundred quid though is it...? When I had my 135i serviced at BMW they initially quoted me £700+ FLOL. @Sir_Dave then told me about the fixed price servicing, so I went online put in my reg, printed the pricing schedule out and went back them with it. The cost...

@MarkCup if the centre caps bothered you why didn't you just do it yourself before hand? Also, is there not fixed priced servicing at BMW anymore? @Sir_Dave might know?

I can't disagree with that haha!!!!

Very nice, I have a soft spot for them.

Any more pics of it? Can't quite make it out properly. Just out of interest really.

What's that black thing above your fuel rail mate? Thanks for the tip about the dampner bar!

EK9 is the best. Newer cars are just far too bulky and heavy.

£2k FLOL. Jesus!! Have you not seen the parts on it!? Worth easily double that in parts alone!

easily repairable. I had mine done for under a grand. Bloke cut the entire rear end off mine and its sweet now.

Does anyone know for sure if the OEM fan mounting points on the rads are different between cars with AC and cars without it. 172/182s.. Basically will an OEM fan shrouding/ housing, from an AC car fit straight onto a rad of a non AC car (both clio fitment) or visa versa, will a fan...

I'd always go hard wired over anything wireless or battery powered. Proper install proper alarm.

Halfords Advanced ones work a treat for me.

That's a van used on the road though right @bloke ? I have no doubts road driving would be fine. It's the heavy track use in Summer which is the unknown. I've done around 35 trackdays with my current setup on ITBs without issue, but being boosted the temps would obviously be higher.

I'm surprised it managed to keep that cool to be honest. Especaially with the two laminovas! Heard of a few people with standard rads and low boost without issues. But 90% of my mileage will be done on a track.

You've just confirmed what I secretely knew deep inside haha, but was hoping there was a glimmer of hope. Having one made with a WRC core sounds eye wateringly expensive. Have been looking at the Direnza equivalent for the Clio fittment. The core size is 1.8 times the standard rad core. And...

Get a 10mm flat spacer, that will slide right over your studs and still leave a few mm for the wheel to locate on. Then once you've torqued the wheels up criss crossed all will be fine anyway.

I've got a Direnza VW Golf one fitted, which I thought would be ok, but the core volume doesn't seeem to be enough. How many track days do you do @Sheen90 ? My car is primarily a track car, so only gets used hard, and very often in summer.

I guess it depends if you were giving it hell in summer or pottering around in icy cool temps haha! EDIT just seen you said december, so it's obviously been f*cking freezing ever since then.

As above. What rad did you go for? and has it been enough to keep the temps down? Currently have a Direnza VW Golf rad with my ITBs and am just researching if it'll be any good to cope with the addition of a snail. Cheers

I run 5mm spacers with my ET35 wheels. So you would effectively only need an 8mm spacer with those wheels to be at the same position as me.

Absolutely epic little tin can

If it passed the MOT then don't worry about it. Just get a new set of discs and pads on before the next MOT. I'm lucky to get 3k out of my discs ;P Unless they visibly start to deteriorate or crack obviously.

172 Cup all day long. Looks much better to in my eyes. If you're really bothered about Recaro seats, put some in the Cup.

Jeez that's nasty :-(

RWD>FWD>AWD. Fact

Still can't believe you got white ? I'd have the cup all day long, but you already know that lol! Hopefully it doesn't dissapoint you.

Love the wheels. Very very nice!

And here at 6:08 - 7:28 And here at 1:42 haha!!

I spotted you in this video at 12:16.
