    Z4 Before Winter

    They're 255's, so not much :dapprove:

    Matthew. LOL!!!!! Oh and Uncle_Gravy , tyres, tyres aren't cheap. But that's about the only thing that's not.

    Z4 Before Winter

    Ok, here goes: It's quite a "normal" car to live with as long as you don't need four seats. It has a decent enough boot (easily take a suitcase, even two small ones) and it's a comfy enough drive even at 6'2. Where it excels for me is that the components are about 10x cheaper than the Porsche...

    This other motor is a great price, and I love the facelift, so I'm thinking "f**k it". Matthew's going to hate you. LOL!

    Z4 Before Winter

    I may actually be selling up in a months time or so now... I've found a facelift for a great price, great spec, nice colour. Going to have a look Tuesday and then sort out funding if it's all good. Then I'll have this up for sale. With the amount of bits I've done to it I probably shouldn't...

    My blue oval

    Such a nice shape. Great pictures also, what setup?

    How's the troph.... oh ;) Cheers mate, the shape has held TBH, but I think that's largely because it was made right up to 08/09! I'd apologise, but it's a trend. Have you see how many are on here now? Cheers Ian.

    Z4 Before Winter

    Cheers mate, logic goes as follows: Winter wheels are not for me to grip because driving RWD is dangerous (omg etc), but just to preserve the wheels that are on there really. Parking when you can't see kerbs etc, the ice and salt in general. I'm not happy with them, but sure.

    Z4 Before Winter

    Over the winter months, I know full well that if I wanted to drop the top at any point, I'd know it before setting off TBH.

    Z4 Before Winter

    Cheers mate, blurry. LOL! The coupe is pretty massive inside, really surprised me boot wise etc! Cheers mate, don't tempt me. As above, I 100% agree with you, it's 1000% depreciation free, but at the moment I'm paying off a bit of debt here and there, so it's money that could be...

    Z4 Before Winter

    There's one up for sale mate, tempted doesn't cover it. BUT I'm being proper good with money lately, like boring good, so I really can't justify throwing 750-800 on it, even if it is the right colour etc :(

    Z4 Before Winter

    So, today I braved the cold and cleaned the car one last time before it (probably) goes into winter mode. I was planning to do a panel test with the AF Sprit Wax once I'd finished cleaning it, unfortunately it'd got dark by the time I was onto drying :banghead: so I'll be doing that this...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Forgot to wash it, then looked outside and realised it's too late to wash it. Marvellous.
  17. Rob

    How did it go this wrong?

    600? Hell no! Don't go more harsh than that! Just give it a good going over.
  18. Rob

    How did it go this wrong?

    One other thing, I'd give it a damn good sanding, it could also be lack of adhesion in certain parts. So where that's gone bad, it could be that your keying underneath is a rubbish (on the original finish). Good move on keeping the fairy liquid away, think about it, you're making something...
  19. Rob

    How did it go this wrong?

    There's no need for it. I'm not sure what you think you're washing off exactly?
  20. Rob

    How did it go this wrong?

    Based upon what you've written, you've left some washing up liquid on this bit. There was no need to use anything other than water TBH, not only that, but you have to make sure it's 1000000% dry, use a hairdryer or similar, then let it cool to room temp and leave it some more so there's no...

    Rear brakes / discs

    As you have a cup I understand you have no ABS? So you don't need to make sure there's an ABS ring.

    Rear brakes / discs

    What are you talking about? Spacers are just that, a spacer. If they're there, changing them will make no difference, it's like changing your oil filler cap when you do an oil change to make it better. If they're not there, the bearing's should have failed by now so I'd assume they are...

    My new car (again)

    I bloody love it. Quite jealous.
  24. Rob

    Rear brakes / discs

    Spacers SHOULD already be there, I'd go on the assumption they are. Make sure you a) remove them and b) re-fit them the correct way.

    Help needed (Essex/london) area

    Either really hammer another bit in, or grind two flat edges and use a spanner. If I'd seen this earlier today I could have borrowed a grinder off site for you. Sorry.

    Ruined gearbox on clio rs 200 £2500 to fix by Renault

    Send it in for the work, then turn up with the spare key and just drive off. Let them chase you for the money rather than the other way around, this way they're on the back foot during the negotiations* :cool: *I do no condone this, but god damn it'd feel good

    Dr Jekyll's Ph1 172 Progress Thread

    Looking cracking Mark, proper cracking. To answer a few questions. Front bumper: Your external clips are still in place, meaning that this should be easily cure-able, the only downside could be that where it "bolts" through to the wing, the bracket could be damaged (it's unlikely though)...

    Ruined gearbox on clio rs 200 £2500 to fix by Renault

    I'd be angling for 90% TBH. I don't get how when you sit someone down and talk to them, they can't see that 20,000 miles is not an OK amount of miles for a car to require a gearbox rebuild. My clutch didn't give out until 115k FFS. I'd definitely consider court action if you're the only owner...

    Matthew's BMW Z4 Sport (2 litre content)

    It looks about 50 shades darker! I'm a big fan though. I think I've made up my mind that I'm going to buy a facelift 3.0 when I get rid of mine. I really like the car so it makes sense to go a little faster and newer/less miles.
