C488ADO

we did a road trip round europe instead of the first aid kit in the hump we had tyre weld x2 high viz jackets and a small but good first aid kit.... i dont carry a spare at all havent since ive had he car.... the tyre weld is pretty good..

sunroof cassette out im afrid matey. easy though can be done by yourself undo all the bolts bar one of the front centerish ones then undo that but take the weight as is quite heavy... the sunroof panel just slides out the back no problem!

how about the red wire going into the back of the fuel pump relay in the fuse box.... the factory immob i had on my 94 vr was wired into this... and the pin was not secured properly hence inttermittant fault... worth a look anyway, just try sticking your hand behind the fuse box push the wires up and then try to start car do this several times it might or might not work at least if it does it will narrow it doen a bit! lol

lol i am but not really sure how to compare it as i bought mine in 2002 97 p 20,000 miles on the clock for £19,000! version 3 facelift sti type ra vltd no 62 out of 555 well that was the title anyway!! lol ridiculous spec colin mcrae sig car 325 bhp carbon front and rear sti braces, red top, roof hatch,pancake filter twin blow off valve 4" exhaust from turbo back, all the useual sti gumpf massivlyquick quicker than the evo5 i had and a lot more sure footed on the road felt very safe in it unlike the evo afer the spiralling fuel costs had to get rid as i just couldnt maintain the £10 to 37 miles i was getting never let me down though woudl love another but the chav factor and the fact i cant afford to run one kinda stops me dead lol

thanks for the notification come on peeps!! lol

??!!!!! what?? 8 lazy???? the astons v8 screams absolutly screams and sounds awesome.... id love it....v8 sound so much more meaty than the 6 etc just purrrrrfect

that jag reminds me of when i was a kid and i built the twr version of it i loved those cars back then they were what i called a jag not like the mondeos of today...... the renault is al a bit too eldorado for me lol the mercs arnt too bad they look awesome with some rims and a nice 40mm drop..... transforms thier looks..

thats a small block in there rob......still pushing out 450bhp and approx 530 ftlbs torque it will see the old girl alright! everything has been worked on it and its all good shichzzz cant wait to see how it goes compared to srt10

i dont know anything about them really apart from being fucking ugly i should imagine the parts are quite expensive???

my dad loves his american muscle.....he's restoring an old 64 thunderbird right now bit of a long old project this .....but going to be totally awesome when done ... tyre shredding beast!! ive posted this before but here goes anyway... this is just the boot!!!! lol

lol i had the 04 plated hot aero was quite quick good amount of toys i had the saloon was very hard on the suspension i thought...... but it is a newish car nearly all new cars are characterless.........dont you think?

lol no it wouldnt but they are so cool it wouldnt matter as half the fun woudl be sorting it out (like the rado)

i like these the 95 and the 93 is good value for money..... plenty of helpful forums and spares sooooooooooooo easily accessible.. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1911792.htm got plenty of change too so that would please the misses

hmmmm might just might be lucky and pick up a lancia delta evo2 they start around that kinda price.... :nuts: 10 large .......id probably look at 911 porsches if it were me...... audi's merc's how much are the sporty focus's?? lot of car for the wedge

Cheers Matt looks good bud but, not really what I was looking for, not going that far with it I just want a general tidy up and need to know where things go...it's such a birds nest under the bonnet

ok ive used the search and found not much really , there are plently of pics of engine bays etc but nothing i can start from.... i started to strip the front end of my car today and got as far as taking the rad out and a few coolant pipes and i got thinkiing about a seed that had been planted by a friend of mine earlier on.......smooth the bay !!! yesssssss but no i dont want to go that far but i do want a nice neat bareish bay ??? what can i get rid of ?? what do i absolutly have to have for mot etc...? carbon canister? what can be moved and where? where the hell do you re-route the wires?????? do i need to extend any?? should i ditch the abs while ive got the motor out??? all hints tips concearns benifits please...

Vanos vanos vanos

only going on what steve was saying when he bought it matt, a chip is a chip and cost bugger all the map costs the money ....i guess knowledge is power once again in this one!! arrrggghhhhh

How will this ecu work with say a stainless 6 branch and a larger throttle body , how about the gruven lightweight pulleys?? And what if you have a light weight flywheel? do they need to be mapped to the car?? Or is it a hope and prey generic map??? I know the mods don't give an incredible amount of power etc but these have made a massive difference in throttle response and I wonderd if a map would need to accommodate this type of stuff? Sorry I don't mean to be rude but got to say I'm a little sceptical about these maps etc ESP when you can buy the chips From e bay for £8 and fit yourself... 8 vmatt has one fitted to his vr and it claims all the same things If I'm on the wrong planet please bear with me as I am interested in what I can get out of what I have got so you can appreciate I need a little more info cheers

Had first m3 at 24 Dakar yellow 3.0 24v pretty basic trim but was lovely like anything I spent some cash and put on eibach anti roll bars and eibach lowering springs had bilstein dampers as standard iirc .....lowerd it about 40 mm was absolutely awesome solid as a rock at 172mph If insets to buy one again I would without a shadow of a doubt go for the Evo 3.2 vader leather....nice 6 speed box better allrounder......

Magnets sound good How about a lining????? What would it need to be I though like a fleece type lining but not sure......

How much were they out if interest??

I think these are an awesome idea , I know you can buy generic wing protectors etc but these are going to be slightly different , this thread is all about seeing how much interest there is out there for this and to also get all your ideas good or bad down into one thread and a decision made as to what we want from a wing protector, So..... The initial idea Wing protector that covers the wing for when working on the engine cleaning the bay etc etc , so what do we want from it? It's got to be weighted at the top so it's sits in place with no damage to the paint etc the weight has to be concealed... The material possibly need to cover the whole wing??? And part of the bumper??? There needs to be a lesser weight in the bottom to keep it from flapping about and so it's aits nice and snugh against the car.

Lol yes it would be !! All in good nick too!! Lol
