What have you done to your car today ???

David172 · Feb 15, 2020

Passenger airbag removed. Running out of easy things to get rid of now

MarcB · Feb 15, 2020

Bought myself my wire harness for the heater on the 197.

Mark.B · Feb 20, 2020

Stuck tape all over my rear window 🤬

stonejedi · Feb 20, 2020

Looked at it....SJ.

DomP182 · Feb 20, 2020

Left it at home, had planned on using it to drive up to Snowdon but decided with all the flooding it might not be wise.

DoubleTime · Feb 21, 2020

Had a couple of PS3s fitted to the front with allignment also. Loving them so far.

The last pair of tyres were on the car since I purchased it almost SIX YEARS AGO.

It was definitely time for a new pair.

David172 · Feb 22, 2020

Felt bad for neglecting the daily so washed all the salt off and quick hoover.

Also saw this beast at tescos 😍

Four new tyres on the M140i. Michelin's finest PS4. What a difference compared to Kumho's PS91...it's like rolling along on a bed of velvet!

Let's be honest, pretty obvious it would be..

Why would it be obvious? It's not like the tyres come with a sidewall stiffness or substance rating and both were 92 load index.

David172 · Feb 23, 2020

Everyone raves about the PS4's. I've never known anything else on the BMW and I don't plan on changing! Unless they start making the PS4S for it.

DomP182 · Feb 23, 2020

Began a quick front caliper restoration, they're currently red which looks a bit ridiculous under turinis. So far one truley seized bleed nipple but nothing my new Mapp torch, plus gas and some whacking with hammer couldn't sort.

Is this piston good for the bin?

MEJK Racing · Feb 28, 2020

Today we changed the windscreen and gave her a some nice green color .

Sir Nancy Flowers · Feb 28, 2020

Just ordered 4 new injectors to solve the flashing EML light of death. Excited for it to be running right. Love throwing parts at a car thats for sale

That piston is scrap mate.

Check the bore of the caliper too as that could be scored, which will also be scrap if it is.

Yeah I chucked it mate, bore was fine thankfully probably because the piston had been so far out on low pads.

We are located in Sweden and one of our sponsors got it for us.
Tanks!

DomP182 · Feb 28, 2020

Didly squat, but hopefully tomorrow I will finish my caliper refurb if the weather behaves. Also got a 1.2 8v heatshield, new RS badge to fit and RStuner to play with.

Iain C · Feb 29, 2020

Tried to get it started. Failed. Pushed it back into garge

Just set fire to the garage. That's always my plan when the car doesnt work. After I've got the hammer out that is....😂

Oops! Maybe not the fire thing then......

Just keep an extinguisher handy and take care 🙈

DomP182 · Feb 29, 2020

Went remove the passenger side caliper carrier to find some numpty had used a bolt of the wrong length and thread pitch, literally only into the hub by about 8mm.

Anyone got a spare carrier bolt they'd post me? 🤞

JKING3008 · Feb 29, 2020

Picked car up, and subsequently 30mins home the alternator died.

You checked the wires up to the alternator and the positive post, they are the usual issue

Haha no way! Hopefully the rest of the car is upto scratch. Looks well

David172 · Mar 1, 2020

Fit a rollcage they said

massiveCoRbyn · Mar 1, 2020

Changed a headlight bulb.

Fitted Philips Racing Vision bulbs in around September, both have now blown, so won't be buying them again.

Where is it??

1985michael182 · Mar 1, 2020

Get yourself a drivers floor foot rest panel. Brings your feet back up to the correct height your carpet would have been. Stops your heels snagging on the floor strengthening panel.

Oh I knew I forgot something! I'm just preparing the car for it to be fitted. It looks like I need to remove the metal frame that supports the dash but its attached to steering column so didnt fancy messing with it today. (I have to put it all back together each time and drive it home). I also need to drive it to the place where the cage is being fitted. Stessed tbh.

David172 · Mar 1, 2020

The top dash and clocks are now cable tied in for the drive home

1985michael182 · Mar 1, 2020

Os it your daily?

What have you done to your car today ???
