Very nice.
Against the stickers but then my reasons are like the reasons I like mine debadged.. Looks like a 170hp oil burner not a 380bhp 3.0tt..
but not much point in buying a FRS for a q car!
Well the last time I washed it prior to snowfoaming it was the first time I washed the car so gave it a pretty good going over with iron x and a little clay (tho very little needed clayed.) Then finished with zymol vintage I think. (Used my cousins stuff)
i am guessing the iron x will strip...
Just recently bought the magifoam and new nilfisk e130 and got to test it at weekend after being covered in 5 weeks worth of road grime andclart it cam out pretty well tbh.
thinking of ordering some citrus wash and iron x as well.
am trying to avoid using a mitt this time of year as...
stunning
i saw one a few years back at the ring on coilies and those alloys that you cant see the brakes with like steelies but not (if you know what i mean) dub scene i guess and it looked cool as foook
Looks like a well sorted GTA!
Be suprised if next buyer has to spend money on it in next year or 2 tbh.
Have had 2 and never had a problem with any of them and together made me a 3k profit...
Thanks alot for all the info.
So i still shampoo car first then use magi foam? then clay and wax?
Am thinking quick blast with pressure wash, spray iron x over leave for 5 mins then magifoam it and give a good thorough PW rinse and should be pretty clean
so many stages and products ... :S
Well this week I have bit the bullet and ordered a nilfisk e130.
With my previous cars I have been pretty shameful and always washed using a MIT and a single bucket :quiet:
Now with my new car (59 plate 135i) It has come pretty much immaculate and swirl free so am going to try and look after...
Thanks
Done a little bit of searching on the nilfisk and all seems good bar the plastic hose?!
I have been pretty bad washing my cars of past using a MIT straight away and a single bucket. :nono:
So with my new car in such good condition I thought I better not introduce any swirl marks so...
That has got to end badly very soon..
Mighty impressive performance.. Theres over 10 1000 hp+ gtr's in uk now some 1300+bhp
jurgens is running around a safe 950bhp and does 60-130 in 3.7s !
Congrats on such a mature epic purchase and love your reasons behind it!
If i didnt piss allmy money away in ibiza and weekends all over when i was a young un an aston martin would have been such a better. choice!
How many colours was there on early vantages? I remember seeing lots of grey...
Not to mention how cheap they are to add another 100hp!
It also shares same subframe as e92 m3 so lots off bits like wisbones arbs etc just bolt on for extra chasis tweaks.
M135 is a bargain tbh, specially when i was offered 10% off without even asking!
But estoril blue is the only colour to go...
Yeah russ, readvertised the 335 and sold in 2 days so was looking at 250's or 135's decided to go the more feminine route of a 135...:o
Lots of great subtle mods that can be be done so might keep this one :eek:
I think they have done well with this game tbh.
I mean its a war style shoot em up, how different can they make it from the previous one??
They have thrown in some fun games like gun game sharp shooter etc so not sure what people want when they say they are disappointed "same old same old"...
A lad on mps forum has organised it for then and over 10 people already sorted for then pal..
Hartside or st mary's loch way.. (my preference) evo just did the ecoty there and is only 40 miles away...
Ash should have updated this thread with dates the lazy buffoon
