I had the Vibratechnics on my old Ph1, that was pretty good. Did add some extra vibrations and "harshness" to the ride but that was a track car so I was never really bothered. Easy to fit and looked good. In my new Ph1 I have the original mount with a Powerflex insert and that does the job - I...

I’ve got loads of their parts on my various cars and very happy with the quality. Even have a box load of parts of theirs to fit to the Z3. I’d say it’s the only brand for generic parts I buy now thinking about it.

Decided to take a quick spin in the Clio this morning while it wasn’t raining, mainly to see how it was after several months of not moving and a bit of a shake down ready for Anglesey in a few weeks. Got it off the drive, shut the gate and realised I needed to tax it 😬 £30 a month now...

Not sure if this is the same but I've experienced that my hazzards will come on with no clicking noise or alarm noise if either I open it too quickly after unlocking it or the battery is a bit flat - cannot work out which one of the two but I would want to say a the later with a flatter battery...

Giving this a little once over as it’s not been driven since December and I’m going to tax it for April. Started first time and ran really well which I am very surprised about! Drove it up and down the drive a bit to try and clean the brakes off but will need a good run next week. Good weather...

Not sure where to post this Driving up the M6 earlier, was proper hanging off. Was hoping to see it fly off but it never did, disappointing.

I’ve got a theory that “password1234” is a strong password as no one would think people are stupid enough to use it so would never guess it. (This isn’t my password for anything…I’m not that stupid)

This is a good password generator…. https://neal.fun/password-game/

What interior cleaners to people rate? I’ve just come to the end of my Auto Glym interior shampoo and always happy to try something new.

Semi related are you planning on getting the jacking points strengthened? As I’m wondering what to do with mine when I get around to this same job. Like I was thinking getting some box section welded in at the jacking points so I can safely use that for jacking and axle stands instead of the...

It was a Y reg and I think blue (too dark to work out of it were blue, black or green). Recognised the noise of it approaching and was like “I’ll keep up” but then realised I was in my E60 so it would have been weird. Looked and sounded good. Oh and your third brake light is out.

Cut the bolt off, easiest way. I had to do the same on mine when I removed the rear seats. The torq head is rubbish and can’t get any purchase on it to undo it as you say it’s open to the elements underneath. My plan was to then weld a big nut on to use a socket on it.

same, I’m tempted to get an afternoon slot as well now if there were plenty left

Flux insure my E34 on a classic policy with an agreed value. Were over £200 cheaper when I first got it than the closest. The price has doubled since then but still cheapest with them. I was annoyed when I asked them to quote for an E36 to see if I could afford it before viewing it saying just...

I’m with Greenlight, all mods declared 5k miles and that’s £23 a month I think after looking through my bank statement. That’s also commuting and social use too. That’s with it being kept on a drive in the arse end of nowhere and me having a load of NCB mirrored and then 3 years on its own policy.

That’s the piece. Not like a massive bend but a little persuasion to make it fit better that was needed

They look smart, again not what my bank balance wants to see! If I do go for these I’ll probably just rattle can them black to smarten them up seeing as they will be track wheels…or my OCD will say no and get them nicely powder coated 🤦🏻‍♂️ haha

Just what I wanted to hear.....just what my bank ballance didn't want to hear haha.

ET36, I was more concerned with it not being wide enough kind of thing seeing as the standard wheel is a little wider. But if it runs the same tyre size then in my mind it shouldn't be an issue?

Seen a set of wheels that are local-ish I could be tempted by to use as track tyres for my Ph1 172, probably run a set of AR1's. They are off a Renault 19 and are 6.5J wide with tyres 195/50/R15. Being slightly not as wide as the standard Oz F1's I currently have this wont be too much of a...

I have the Sparco open face and that was about £60 iirc

Had the same problem, I just bent the fuel rail mounting brackets a bit to clear the bolts and also make the injectors seat better.

Just had a look at these, they say “universal” and looking at the picture it is like they need an adapter to fit to the right exhaust diameter, this what you had to do? Hopefully if this is the case should be easy for the exhaust maker to sort out.

Need to get a cat as the old one had collapsed and to make the car good for an MoT test really. I’ve spoken to the people that made the exhaust and they are happy to put a cat in when they make a centre silencer for it so I can go with an aftermarket one. Any decent ones to go for or avoid...

This is an accurate representation of most of my days

I’m a software engineer and been doing it for the past 7 a half years, and 4 in my current job. Not sure how I ended up doing this but I’m enjoying it. Did a degree in particle physics then a masters degree in nuclear physics, first job was hydrodynamic radiography where spent a lot of time...

Saturday day and AM track time purchased. Be rude not to seeing as I live down the road.

Took advantage of the dry sunny weather today to wash the E60 to take some for sale advert pictures. It has not been washed since about October and I am doing 140miles a day on a motorway and live down a single track lane that is covered in mud. It was filthy. Wanted to leave it longer to he how...

Emptied the catch tank earlier. Glad that hasnt gone through the engine! Consistency of water/fuel but doesn't smell of fuel but has a slightly oily smell to it and it is full of bits, or could be scum that has formed on it. Took the advantage of the dry and sunny weather today to clean it so...

I’ve got this one from GSF on mine The shealth goes all the way from the bulk head to the throtte which from past experiences most do not and have some exposed cable. Annoyingly I had to cut mine down but this is to get a better cable routing for the ITB's but should not be a problem with a...
