Lol sweet sounds gd, i gotta get my half sleeve finished at some point, if i get mine done before ya ill let ya no how i get on

 

[tommy g]

Ideal mate, pm me if youve got a pic of the tattoo work you've got. I'll send you one back of how mine is. Currently had 16 hours and having another day session (8 hours) done mid April which should hopefully finish the top part of the sleeve.

Got my front badge and rear boot surround with badge from spray shack. Amazing!!! So happy with simons work. Simon sprayed them 676 same as the car. The picture dosent do it justice..

will be getting them plonked on this weekend

got my led through for the number plate..

got my v5 through so when I go up to micks ill swing by dvla notts to do the transfer.

 

[tommy g]

Fitted the badges.

Before..

after..

front badge comparison..

numberplate fitted but the connector has one of the terminals snapped in it which would explain why it didnt work before..

was going to wash the car but it started snowing. Hopefully ill get time to whack on the cup spoiler tommorow.

 

[tommy g]

Whilst the weather is good I gave the car a little clean. Nothing fancy just a quick wash. I took off the f1 stickers as they were making it look alittle cluttered.

Before..

After..

as I was reversing up the drive I noticed the rear was lifting. Straight away I knew what it was so checked the brakes and the o/s rear disc has cracked straight through and that pad is fucked. So when I go upto diamond ill get him to change the rear discs and pads. Couldn't find my crimper for the cup spoiler wiring so hopefully ill get one for tommorow.

Thanks dan, shame really as the ss one are quality.

Thanks mate, the surrounds are coming off shortly and being flattened down and relaquered.

 

[tommy g]

Fitted the side repeators. Mad to cut the fins off the back tho so they would fit. Before..

After..

Had the cambelt done at mick's. whoever did the cambelt last was a f**k tard! There was bolts missing and brackets. They had air gunned the cams when timing it up which rounded them so it couldn't be timed. They also snapped a bolt off in the lower inlet. All of which resulted in needing a set of cams and a inlet manifold. Luckily I had a set from my cup but got an rs stamped inlet from renparts which turned out to be matched. Thanks renparts Mick has been amazing with the car nd I will not be using anyone else . Whilst it was up there the rear disc had a crack in and the caliper was seized. Mick stripped it down to find the spacers between the stub and discs were missing. So annoying that people just cannot do there job properly. So mick ordered me a caliper which luckily came in yellow so I didn't need to repaint it The car now runs so much better and it's all thanks to mick.

Heres a pick of my shiny new brakes..

When I went to pick it up I got the cup taken up on a flatbed and that's now in micks capable hands to resolve the elm issue. I've had a fair few pm's regarding this so please check back on this thread for updates.

I ordeded a pair of fog lights from renparts as whoever did the yellow fogs looks as if it was painted on as you can see the brush strokes. It had also dribbled down on the carbon fog surrounds. I bought some tinted lamin-x as I want it to be proper stealth. Sooo before..

After..

As you can see I've taken off the carbon surrounds as they really need flating down and relaquering.

Ive also fitted my new plates

Before..

Still got to fit the cup spoiler but I'm being lazy and need to get some crimps lol.

Picking up the car from mick @ diamond motors on sat. Cannot wait, not driven it properly for 4 months. Looking like it turned out to be the brake light switch. Btm has a cup in at the mo with the same fault which seems to of cured it so for people with the same symptoms as mine defo worth fitting a new switch and fingers crossed it will fix yours too.

 

[Justin BBP]

Where did you get the side indicators from mate?

 

[tommy g]

There off eBay mate from a company in Germany called mts. Be warned that you will have to cut the plastic fins off otherwise it won't go in the hole. But there the best looking ones I've found.

​Trying to decide wether to keep or get shot

 

[tommy g]

Yeah keep it best colour to have.

 

[rollerdan]

So what was wrong with the cup mate ?

 

[tommy g]

Appears to have been the brake light switch mate.

 

[rollerdan]

Woah who would of thought that ! The pearl black is looking nice now mate whats next

 

[tommy g]

Lol I know so random. cheers mate I'm just going to fit the cup spoiler and get the bullets repainted. After that it's going to be left alone.

 

[rollerdan]

Cool mate

Gave the pair a quick clean earlier and my mate turned up in his f1 meg. I also fitted the cup spoiler finally and did the number plate loom so it now works

Bought an m3 yesterday. As soon as I pulled up to the guys drive I fell in love with it. It a 52 plate estoril blue e46 m3 individual. It's on 77k with fsh and loads of extras. I would post pics up but my bandwidth on photobuckets been battered due to the ashby folville b****cks. As soon as its back on I'll start a progress thread in general auto. If anyone wants to see pics of the m3 my twitters Tommy_G666

 

[Gally]

Hi Tommy!

 

[tommy g]

Thanks dude

 

[tommy g]

God havnt been on here properly since June. Well I've sold the black Clio to a lad at work. It just wasn't getting used and was pointless having 3 cars. So now it's just the cup and the m3 I absolutely love the m3. Hands down the best car I've ever owned. Had 162 mph on GPS out of it so far. Ill post pics and spec soon. I'm going to trax this year but not on track. It won't be ready in time so ill just attempt the 0-60 sprint again. Needs the brakes upgrading, top mounts, clutch etc. all will be done very soon. Just renewed the membership as well so I'm going to be trawling the for sale section haha

 

[rollerdan]

Im goin to trax too mate see you there .
