I was happy with the Geyon Rim coating. Easy to apply and reasonably priced iirc.

Fit a hidden battery isolator or fuel pump switch. It’s not a visual deterrent and someone might break in and realise they can’t start it before they give up. I’ve got a StopLock bar thing for my E34 and it works well and no effort to remove and store it behind the seats when I want to use it.

Anyone used one of these things to clean the underside of their car https://amzn.eu/d/0eUyvWAT Needs to have bigger wheels and not the caster wheels I’ve seen to cope with my gravel drive. And would need to work out if it will fit into my pressure washer, although I’d like to upgrade it this...

Oh it infuriates me having to use American spelling in code as a lot of methods and that are like .getColor() and authorization Gahhhhh!!!!! Although I do have great pleasure closing support tickets going “user error” when they are clearing being a moron.

With a lot more Ph1’s coming out the wood work for restoration - I have a the front and back seats from my old one. Not perfect and would need a retrim. But if anyone is interested let me know, price is negotiable as I have no idea of the worth...

I’m going back over there this year (still need to get a date booked). I really enjoyed it when I’ve done TF. I echo Flob’s point about being the most stressful driving experience ever 🤣 I’ve always plodded around at a higher than road speed pace kind of thing but will never go flat out because...

We going banger racing? I'll go find a car the day before to bring if so!

I bought my brother a filter to go on the outside tap to help with hard water and stains. Not sure how good it is though

I fitted a period correct tape deck in it so needed some period correct tapes for it! The centre console only holds 6 tapes so it’s a very limited collection I have!

Used to spend hours rotating my music collection on my mp3 player as a kid - the 3hrs on the bus to and from school every day was better with different music. I did have a bit of a CD collection and we all used to borrow friends and share around. I really cba with doing that now and having...

Oh maybe was thinking of the airbag module. I knew there was something behind it! Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much about the immobiliser, mine seemed to still work and I didn’t do anything and I’m a proper ham fisted idiot when it comes to fixing things.

If it’s second hand and got a map on it then it might run better than mine did on start up. Isn’t the immobiliser on a different ECU behind the gear stick? I never did anything about an immobiliser on mine

I did have a lot of help from others on here doing this! But my argument was if I can do it anyone one can 🤣 I hated doing the ECU changes as that was an expensive piece of kit that I didn’t want to ruin! Oh might want to chuck some sacrificial spark plugs in when you start it for the first...

Consider yourself lucky it’s just been a months, this has been my life for the past 6 years 🤣 I can sympathise with the support rota crap. I work on a system that is never allowed to fail or go down. I’m a part of the 3rd line support team for it and it’s the worst part of my job dealing with...

It was cheaper than a Z4 and not a convertible VW Beetle which the wife wanted. I’ve really grown to like the shape of it. Forgot about that little prick.

Both of my Ph1’s suffered with a sticky throttle body. Cleaned and also changed the throttle cable seemed to help with the first one. But the second one was having none of it. Only way I fixed it was to fit ITBs

I’ve got my Z3 for sale which is pretty much an E36…..it’s a lot better value than the equivalent E36 2.8 manual or M3 (it’s a manual 2.8 with an M50 manifold and all suspension and steering stuff refreshed and BC Racing coil overs…)

That on the Prom? If so wonder if it’s the same owner as the brown Lancia Fulvia that’s parked there.

But does he do custom stickers?

Doing ITBs was the best way to waste thousands on improve my old Ph1. Would I do it again? Yes. Have even looked up ITB kits for my Z3 because having that noise is addictive.

My quick eBay earlier showed they were £15k-ish which is ok imo for what it is but then a few years back were just about sub £10k. Maybe one to get, keep nice and watch the value climb?

E31’s are still in the reasonable price bracket too, ignoring 850csi manuals as they are silly money, one on eBay for £79k.

Yes it has the right engine for the badge in it…it was an ironic post 🤣

👀👀

Mainly because of BL rust 🤣 it was fast for what it was but still like trying to wrangle a super tanker through the Suez Canal. In hindsight saving the E30 donor car would have been a better deal than hacking it apart for a Triumph. Only was a 2000 as the Dolomite Sprint we looked at for the...

Ahh yeah ok, that was it. It was Ummm interesting! From what I know it is still kicking about, OPD972L is the registration.

Probably the car I’d buy if I ever came into serious money. Typical super cars do nothing for me, I’d rather roll around in something like a 3.0 csl. It’s mad that while BMW were making that glorious piece of art us over here at BL were making the god awful Triumph 2000 🤣 (back when I was 18...

Pictures are good! No evidence I was out on track, I’ll have to get my go pro out. So this means the E34 will be coming next year with better coolant hoses so I can at least manage half a day!

Limped home fine. Had to coast over the Menai bridge due to traffic but thankfully it was downhill!

Echoing others, I enjoyed myself. Thank you for organising. Hope next year I’ll be able to hang around for longer! I agree with @Ay Ay Ron and keep it at Anglesey.
