Time to get some proper brakes...! AP 6 pots up front.. something semi-serious with at least 4 pots on the back. I'd highly recommend GodSpeed's grooved discs and kevlar pads but they don't seem to offer them for BMWs. :dapprove:

So do it. They're the only thing between you and the tarmac / ditch. Think about it ;)

Buy tyres cheap from BlackCircles/Camskill. Get the powdercoater to fit the new rubber. Save the cost of a tyre shop ;) Sell the old rubber on eBay / CS unless it's properly sha99ed ?

You're going to paint them, THEN put new tyres on ? This will not end well. Powdercoat them and put new rubber on at the same time.

Indeed. Turns out it's rear wheel drive. Who knew !

Spax from Danny ? I should be ordering some from him when I'm back from Wales !

My old one was helicoiled by me and my dad. Timesert probably would have been better. Inlet off, plug out (if it's not already!), helicoil/timesert, have kittens, vaccum cleaner on the end of a bit of hose which goes down the plug 'ole, suck as much swarf out as you can. Plug in, rebuild...

Timesert will do it. Had to do cyl3 on my old Ph1 ! Nerve-wrecking stuff :o

Nice one ! You still need to come say hi ;)

Jebus. My car got a polish and seal up (Gtq C2) in October. It's been washed about 3 times since with bucket / suds / mitt. It's still shiny as ever. Claying 1 or 2 times a year if it's HANGING. Methinks you need to read the guides to cleaning cars in the detailing section again ;)

Welcome to 2002.

Just use Chrome and see if the issue is resolved.

What browser me 'ansum ?

Wot ? No cats ?

Looks like you've just run something over :S

Not if it's raining !!! There'll be enough of that in Wales, boyo.

Looks moist... http://xcweather.co.uk/forecast/cm12

Optical in ? ;) Richer Sounds will sort you out.

Good work ! Why so many cars :rasp: What's the score with the Impreza ?

They'll look better with some proper tyres on, not skanky cut up painted/primerd/snot covered ones..!

Yes... that's exactly what they're for. Stick them both on the same, probably something like 120 or 160Hz and see what it sounds like ! You should be able to turn the sub on / off via the HU so you can see what difference it makes. Standard Clio speakers are actually ace when they're not...

Good news !!

Well you didn't mention that. Swap it for another 1.2 or get a new car. Insurance will be hilarious (on top of what I assume is already a hilarious premium) with an engine swap. Obviously, insurance is invalid if you fail to inform them of the change.

So swapping the engine is a good idea ?!

Buy a faster car.

You can get a nice Ph1 for 2k these days... Oh, wait ;) Impreza ? :evil:

Just guessing but either you're missing vital stages, or using something awful like turtlewax shampoo and a yellow sponge to clean it. Black is the worst colour for swirls etc, so you have to be mega careful. Put some work in once, and the rewards will last for months... I did mine...

Pffft... 7am.. of all the crap I've ever heard...... :rasp:
