Will look spot on with that roof man. Nurburgring this year?

Sorry, missed that post. It was 449 euros for the half day (6 laps) - all the prices for the cars are on their website as per Jon's link. Yes, it does look expensive at first, and I suppose there is no getting away from that, but it is arrive and drive which means you do not have to pay...

Glad you liked the vid. The Megane was great. The best fwd I have driven. Only complaints I had were the gearchange and the fact that you craved another 50bhp for the hilly bits. I sold the E46 as it was just too much money for me to have tied up in one thing. I could not afford to run the...

Hi folks :) After selling my 182 I have not really posted on here but as I still lurk on here now and again Seeing as I always posted my 182 vids on here, I thought I would post a vid of the R26R I had a shot of last year. I hired the Renault from RSR Nurburg last May and had 6 laps in it...

This seems to been have debated for years but I thought that the actual CSL wheels were at least part magnesium. The CS wheels are 'flow formed' and are meant to be forged. These are the 8's and are 12kg. If you are saying the CSL's are 10kg's, how did they save the 2 kg's? Thats why after...

Even if you had a longer 5th, it does not have enough power to make use of it. It takes a while to get to the limiter in 5th, and it would take even longer to get to the same speed as you are getting now, with a longer 5th, even though, ultimately you might achieve a higher top speed. Buy...

Yes, genuine CSL's so are 8.5" fronts instead of 8" and they are magnesium, or at least part magnesium. Much lighter than the OEM M3 19's. Yeah, have been pretty common for a while now but I on the other hand, I would never have been able to afford it when it was new either! A lot of car for...

Just had a chance to post, got a quick look at the pics this morning before I left but have had a proper look now - you definately know how to take a good picture. Should help with the sale no end :star:

Thats unlucky man. When and where did you get caught? 6 month ban?

:lolup: Yeah I see pikeys and homeless folk driving M3's all the time round here... Thankfully, unlike youself, there are actual real performance car enthusiasts who buy cars based on the hardware on offer and not as a fashion item to go with your cool spikey hairdo.

...and on what grounds are they 's**te'? Why was the CSL never available with a manual? Complete SMG failure is very rare and usually just a pump failure that is around £400 iirc. That is what waranty is for. The SMG is the same gearbox as the manual, just operated using hydraulics. I...

I must admit, both the Vee and the CSL are going to fare far better against depreciation. Unfortunately I cant afford another 10k for a CSL, so this will have to do me! :)

Thanks Justin. Tbh, if it was me specing the car from new, I probably would have played it safe and gone for the black leather but this is really growing on me now. The Recaro polepositions re-trimmed in the imola red would look pretty cool I think!

Thanks Rory. I like the way that they are really concave (If that is the right word!) at the rear. Dont think I could ever bring myself to change the wheels. I paid a bit more than I originally wanted but this was is mint and has all the history and was owned by a detailer, so I think it will...

I bought an M3 about a month ago and love it tbh. Yeah, common as muck and maybe have a bit of an image problem, but at the end of the day they are popular for a reason. The engine is an absolute gem and from what I have been able to gather so far, it is a very capable all rounder. A nice...

I just drove down to London to pick up the M3 I just got! Its always fun getting to know a car on the drive back!

Mine is for sale at £4950 which I think is a good price. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/799476.htm After driving it again last weekend, I may well just end up keeping it. It is unreal how many emails I have had from foreign scammers and the like. Why is it so much hastle selling a...

^^^ Henry is spot on with the cable ties and duct tape - essential! ;)

You will need a helmet. For a trackday, a motorbike helmet is ok, car lid is better. You can usually hire from the track for a small fee if you do not have. Dont go overboard on the tools for a local trackday. A torque wrench for wheel nuts, tyre pressure gauge and pump are the main things to...

Exactly :cool: ...and if you see a car appear in your mirrors that was not there 2 corners ago - let it past! It is faster!

For wear and tear... Track action will wear components such as ball joints, track rod ends and bushes as well as the more obvious consumables such as tyres, pads and discs. This does not mean you have to replace these like your pants but just keep it in mind and keep an eye on them for...

Just make sure that the car is in fit condition really... First check that you do not have any oil or coolant leaks and that rad hoses are not likely to split. - make sure you have some decent meat on your pads. - check oil, coolant & brake fluid levels are as they should be. - make...

Thats impressive Dan. I managed 140 mph on the autobahn after sitting in a straight line for bloody ages. Took me about 20-30 secs to get from 130 to 140 mph!

Simon, my mate said it was an indicated 130 through foxhole and I saw 130 just before the crest just a few corners before on the fast section. Dont think I would have been any quicker than that anywhere else as the clio struggled to pull 5th on the longest straight(ish) part of the track where...

I will get it up soon but the footage is not great as I filmed more of the dash than out the windscreen. You can still see your car through most of it though. Whoopin my arse?! :lolup: :lolup: Who managed to keep on your tail for a whole lap with a stock clio vs a itb'd and ast'd clio...

Yes! Completely warped. 6 days at the ring was obviously a bit much for them!

Hi, Just back from a holiday at the nurburgring and thought I would post the footage. This was my last and quickest lap of the week and I was lucky to get a clear run free from traffic :) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YE432Zga7Js I will post a few pics etc when I get a chance. Cheers, Ali

Looks nice Dan. What wheels are those? 2.5 inches, so ~ 60mm?

Don't suppose anyone has any pics of 172/182's on 15's and lowering springs? I have searched but not really finding what I am after... Cheers, Ali

What is Phil's user name? Those are not the same wheels though although similar design. I think I will need at least et 40 being a cup. Just a bit unsure about the height issue now as I don't want to spend on coilovers. Hoping it will look ok with a slight drop on eibachs.
