In some respects, it really is mega simple. Then in others, like spark plug accessibility, it's a 'mare!

Probably easier to take the engine out to get to the plugs! LOL!

s**t me! That's gorgeous!

Ermehgurd. That was pretty awesome. Well up for this now!

Yep, I need to find my closest BMW dealer and place an order with them for the Dizzy cap & Ignition coil. HT leads and Spark Plugs I imagine I can get from anywhere! Once they're all here, we can have an evening of changing the electrical stuff. Oil, filter, and rocker cover gasket I will...

b****cks. You live on the motorway, and your work is on the motorway? Work out a route and enjoy your RWD project car life :D

Sell fiesta. Buy a RWD funbag machine. Cycle to work. 8 miles is s**t all.

TBF, it must be nice for you, to work on a car that somehow uses more fuel than yours does! ;)

I know, it's a shame you're so far away really :( I'll save all my jobs for payday? Then you can millionaire it all the way down the M60?

I also enjoy working on this car. When I mean working on it, I mean watching you, watch Rhys work on it. :o

Haha! Yeah, as I found out last night! I will probably be losing the skinny tyres though, if anything, in favour of better looks :o All I read of your comment Rhys, was:

We have a winner. It's a light, nimble saloon, with decent sports pedigree. Dropping a 200kg engine in the engine bay, would ruin everything. Whereas if I mod the existing engine, 120-130bhp is reasonably easily obtainable and a total car weight of 1050-1100kg is more than possible, and that...

Nope nope and nope. If anything, it's getting a cam, and bike carbs. Engine swaps are expensive to do and insure and they would take away from the car imo.

This is amazing. CS needs some sort of screening tbh. Tears tbh!

Yeah, I'm starting to realise just how amazingly easy it is to work on. BMW Fans Catalogue is coming in very very handy too!

Just remembered this morning too, we adjusted my throttle cable last night, so it now doesn't have a stupid amount of slack in the pedal! A lot better to drive tbh :)

I might do the same, but f**k Black Ops, I'm not 17 any more.

LOL :o You'll love it more soon, as discussed ;). So tonight was the night we would start the car. We weren't accepting no as an answer, so we set about the usual suspects with a none starting car. It was getting fuel, and the fuel pump was fine. The plugs were sparking, although the dizzy cap...

Worth a go mate. Best of luck, I'm sure Scott will be able to help you get a decent job on it.

TBF all it needs is 250hp or so and it would be fantastic. Too much power would ruin it.

I saw a hardtop in Zurich, in yellow, was absolutely fantastic. They're just utterly ridiculous, exactly what a Lambo should be!

Yeah thread actually disappointed tbh. Superduperchav.

So if we twatted a 27mm on, that should work? If so, and you want to remove it by means of force, I'll have a look for one I don't mind sacrificing.

What size is it? (roughly)

I concur with the smashing technique. I have a load of spare sockets I use/sacrifice for this. If something won't come off, find the next size down and pound it on like your getting a Lancashireman off you're gran.

Enjoyed my online play with AK and Chris last night. (Sorry, I don't know who else was playing :o) Shame we got a bit of a battering in the clubs game.

I like it, looks very "hot rod". Which is only a good thing, just get one, and if in spring you decide you won't use it for 6 months and you want to release the money from it, then sell it. If not, keep it for the winter months.

Hardtop is lovely. That spoiler though :dead:

Tbf, I've never heard such a quiet start in all my life! I actually think the car held it's breath so as not to get caught!

I totally hear what Rob is saying tbh, the chances are a million to one, and even if you did get checked, it would probably pass off as legit anyway. Having said that, a million to one, does leave a chance, and in Manchester, that chance is still reasonably high, if I was in Joe's shoes and...
