But that's the point, I've been here a long time and watched a lot of people make their motor a "hardcore" trackday car, a lot then hate it and sell up. I can 100% see the point in making the car feel more focused, stripping it back, rear door cards, do one, even front door cards if you fit a...

You say you're doing track days, right? Now, on these track days, what difference is 1kg of dash top going to make? Or even 5kg of full dash? It seems to be in more recent years that people have blurred the lines between race cars and track cars. Removing some serious parts to lose 150kg odd...

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Fun couple of days tbh. I even found a s2k to have a proper play with on my journey home.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' White will however be better to spot any butchered CV joints etc... More cleaning, but like your white engine, spotting issues is easier.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' FFSnake. As long as the exhaust isn't in the way this time I'm sure we'll be fine.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' FFS, I'll see what's left to do.. Wash it you say? That'll do.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Looking forward to putting it all back together on Saturday. Exciting stuff. Buy a box of gloves from somewhere if you haven't already mate. Invaluable.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' You massive tart you!! It looks great though mate. I think we should re-name this thread "Oli builds a 172 from just mail order parts"

^ I'd guess that.

Looks much better silver, glad that wobble has gone, jesus christ.

Interesting...! I think you and I seek the same things in a car, the reason I couldn't get on with my three series, but can with my z4. Thought about a z4mc?? Good ones are literally losing no money at the moment, and I think it looks different enough from your current motor to be a change...

Now THAT's a plan!

Buy the 335i in the for sale section, it's actual sexwee.

More than welcome to use my big industrial unit in the docklands? Give me a minute to look up TheEvilGiraffe's threads and find it...

Hmmm, as you need before and after photos, perhaps I should drive down and you should do "130,000 mile BMW Z4" and I'll bring the camera ;) You need a simple website with just four pages or so, and maybe a little bound brochure to keep on site to show customers or even give a few out.

Someone's gooonnnn pay....

Generally request that the sender sends it over in a more friendly format, or download a hooky copy to convert it down yourself then just run on your licensed one.

There's a whole thread for this. Copy and paste it in there please.

Bloody fantastic work Ginger, I must say though, it pisses me off no end that you don't take "before's". Go and buy a cheap digi cam from ASDA, leave it in the workshop and just take before's and afters of anything that comes in. It frustrating, because before and afters on that could be a...

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' W'hey. Cracking work cubster.

Properly nice pair of cars.

Welcome along, apart from the headlights that's lovely.

Mangowack or wak, can be found on ebay but delivery time is SLOW. Worth the wait due to the perfect fit

Interesting Stu. MPG's? Being such a good GT, they're probably suit my mileage needs with enough fun factor..

Hmmm, really like that now. I'd have not done the exhaust but that's just the amount of miles I do. Just so I have an idea, what would this sell for if you sold it tomorrow?

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Not as bad as mine, LTSB fucked up and literally emptied my current account, taking two days to sort out. LOL! Too long of a story to explain.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Great stuff! All photos are the right way up, but your cache will stop them from rotating on your screen :)

Seriously, a ph1 set of front seats is about £40. Surely you could find a runner if you actually looked?

Listen to them re: disa valve. I'd fit one to any 3.0 bimmer of that era I bought just because it's not worth the risk.
