Next job down the line will be painting the calipers.
You can see where the front shocks have had water sitting at the top, as the Bilsteins are prone to doing. That's why I wanted to clean them up a bit

 

[Silent_Scone]

So after taking the new door apart discovered the locking mech wasn't fitted correctly and the rod retaining clips were missing. Thankfully I have a door I bought from the breakers still so have sorted that issue and fitted the clips and wrapped the rods in foam, rattle gone.
Not sure why the lopsided c***s at the shop couldn't sort that themselves.

 

[Breamy]

Good choice on the 400/400
It will be bloody quick but not silly money. Much more power is a waste on the road really anyways

Mines just been sold :-(

The white mint one?

If so your a silly silly man and I don't know if I like you anymore. [emoji22]

So much has changed in the past 6 weeks life perspective has also altered. I drive it every few months as it's not a child friendly car, miss the M5 badly which is a huge mistake of mine. I sold it for just under 30k within 12 hrs so it was painless enough.

Arrrr mate, I loved that car. It was mint and a rare site.

I have 2 kids as well mate, mine are 12 and 13 though.

Did it make more money than it owed you ant?

Ah man...that's a good result though dude! Plus on the bright side, you're only 30k ish off the money for a pink one.

Anyone seen that tidy RSX forsale on Pistonheads and the MLR ? Looks lovely, but i couldn't justify buying it and using it daily, nor could i justify buying it and not using it (garage queen).

Mine is finally out after 2 years.

It's gone to Gaz@CPP for all the belts and a few upgrades.

Looking forward to a few days out in it this year.

 

[Ant1]

I wondered where that went. Nice example that.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah looks tidy

Errrrrrr, the floors wet? Have you lost your mind?

 

[Ant1]

Looking to buy this in the next few days, negotiations on price have started.......

 

[Scrooge]

Love it, best colour too

 

[CrippsCorner]

Looks f**king awesome, but what's with the shite DTM wing mirrors? :dizzy: (or am I being really thick and they're just normal ones folded in)

Pretty sure that means FQ400.... :smilingimp:

 

[Ant1]

Genuine FQ400 mirrors, been trying to find a FQ400 now for 4 years, given up. So next choice is a MR360.

 

[Stefan.]

f**k yes, realistic dream car for me.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Pretty sure that means FQ400.... :smilingimp:

Unlikely to be an original Fq400 as the side badges aren't red...

Sweet!! Sorry for the questions!!:blush:
So what's the crack with 400's ? They never come up for sale ? And if you get this car, you'll have the TME too ? Is this instead of the E63 you were looking at ?

 

[r0ss172]

Its an Evo 9, they didnt come in FQ400, was only the Evo 8 that did.

Thought I recognised that building! Does he still have that VI RS Sprint of his?

Not child friendly? It has four doors and a boot? :wink:

Seriously though - a nice cash sum on the sale. Mine was far from pristine when I sold it, but christ - I wish I had stored it somewhere and left it a few more years. The VI's in particular just seem to be going up and up in value.

The RS had a short ratio box which meant it was loud inside. No aircon, no sound deadening, and the final factor which was a huge issue transporting kids, no side impact bars.....

I made a fair whack (not really the point) so it really needed to go. My Meg is so much more fun to drive.

The MR I can enjoy all weather, transport the kids from nursery and have a good crack without losing £££. Made sense really.

It's a IX MR360.

TME has gone (reason above), meg is staying. Looking for another M5 estate.

 

[cat171]

Cheers, I don't know what most of the newer ones are etc. Fair play, I missed that part above :blush:

He sure does.

That thing is museum quality

Well you learn something new every day. Today, I learnt that there's actually something I don't like about this car!

 

[imprezaworks]

He sure does.

This rssprints white evo 7 by chance?

 

[JON FOZ]

it's an E6,beautiful thing
