Best looking Beemer on here Nice job, looks swell.

Nice choice Edinburgh, was there for a good few years, liked it a lot. Lots of decent pubs and plenty of culture to drink in too. Good luck with it BBK and the nut.

Another one here. The CEL would go away for some time, sometimes days, sometimes weeks. Tried spacers, no effect. Remap and sensors disabled - no more CEL.

This thread's gone freaky...

Holy sh!tb@llz :scare: I saw one delaminate on the motorway on a lorry recently, had to emergency stick the foot in to get passed and dodge the flying rubber chunks. Loads of drivers were flashing and waving, lorry driver didn't seem to notice.

I'm involved with software production and licensing from time to time at work. Take a little thing like an RSA token (security things, look like a USB stick, got a small LCD display on them, probably about £3 to manufacture) cost like £35 each and the licence is another £70 (both depending on how many you buy) and ALL your 1000 roaming staff need one each. Then to top it off these babies come with an enforced limited lifespan. So even if they still work in say 3 years time, you need to spend again. Feeling ripped off much? However, some genius came up with the secret algorithm that goes inside the token and on the RSA server and it makes for a nice secure authentication process that people can use to stop the Russian Mafia stealing their stuff, and said genius now drives a Ferrari and winters in Monaco. Good luck to him/her, they solved a real problem and reap the benefit. I may be a money grabbing swine, but I wouldn't give it away for free when loads of people are willing to pay - and lets be clear, uprev isn't the same as some faceless evil mega corp charging people for a disease cure, it's something that is totally not necessary to your survival/existence as a human, you elect to spend the cash or not. I know these tokens I'm on about aren't directly uprev relevant, but the sheer number of hours that go into producing quality and RESILIENT software is insane!!!! I know people think it's a sweaty warhammer geek in a dark room thumbing a softie whilst watching Miley Cyrus videos but it so isn't. Once you have the requirements (that bit isn't cheap BTW), then there's the kit, the coding, the environments for testing, the testing, the bug fixes, more testing, more bug fixes, more testing, more bug fixes, a load of new requirements and starting again, then going live anyway, then dot releases - then on top of all of that there's the project support and the admin support and an HR department, and having a building that the people work in and utilities and PAYE and NI and all the varieties of insurance and business rates and so on - there's probably loads more. People flip out when something crashes or is expensive but no one bats an eyelid at the millions and millions of instructions that complete successfully over and over and over again - like the magic that is all of the internet hardware and software making this discussion possible - 4 hours without a mobile network functioning and people are ready to grab pitchforks and start looting Just my two pennies.

You did a much better job on the other pieces you wrapped. I'm not sure I like the new cling film wrap you're going for The black bits you mentioned make more sense with the roof, mirrors and handles all in black too.

Dogs were too but their **** is legislated for? Get some dog crap and put it in your left eye, then put some horse crap in your right eye. Then tell me which eye you lose sight from. I just re-read the posts, I'm not certain where I disagree with dog **** being dangerous. Which one was it?

There's no reason at all that horses shouldn't be mandated to have those cr@p catchers when on public land. I'm a country lad and have been up to my eyeballs in it, it's not a squeamish thing, it's just not on. Saying that it's a fertiliser and goes on your food has no bearing, they spread cow **** on fields too, doesn't mean I want it layered on my bacon sarnie. The middle class mafia ride horses, they set the political agenda via the Daily Mail, therefore it's not something that's likely to be addressed by legislation.

It's all over, can't lose from that position :mindgames:

Keep going all in that blue, it's brilliant!

Any chance of a bump on this? Could do with some more up-to-date info from our 70 brothers and sisters, or some "make sure you get this option" cooments

SACD never really got big, but from what you're saying it makes a difference. Last time I dusted that off I'd mistakenly eaten some wild mushrooms and had a great time.

Amazing, lucky lad. Some great snaps of the action too.

This is true......... But getting the bits outta the perforations takes a lot more time, patience and LOADSA TOOTHPICKS! Then remember to dispose of your toothpicks hygienically and don't leave them next you the clean ones.

Souldn't the sealant go down first to allow it bond with the paint surface? Then wax on top for gloss? I could be totally wrong so many products have different rules.

Holysh!tballs that's loud!

There's a point at between 2.7k to 2.9k where if you sit in that rev range it definitely resonates a little, but I wouldn't call it drone. I tend to motorway cruise at about 73 (as per the optimistic digital speedo) so I avoid any legal aggro and the sound is fine. If I creep up a little over that, then it gets a little quieter. I don't do much motorway cruising and when I do, I tend to have the tunes on fairly pumping, so if you're worried you really need to get a ride in one with the setup you're planning.

Just a short one, it was stone cold, so I didn't gun her too hard. I take another but she's sounding a bit sick at the minute. That's the sound from an iphone sat on the ground, in between the tail pipes. It's not hi-fi With regard to MOT, I've only been through one and she passed with flying colours, the HFCs has only been on the car for about 30 mins when it went through the test.

I can't tell you one exhaust versus another in terms of gains, I'm sure if you flick through the dyno thread you can find some data. What I can say is I run a cosworth panel filter, plenum spacer, berks and a scorpion and not only do I like the sound (i.e. no drone, not too loud, but you know when you boot it) but I'm quite happy with my 292bhp and 264 torques after a remap. I know you don't want to hold back your power gains, but you have to hear the exhaust every second of every journey, so picking the noise you like outweighs 2-5 bhp difference in grunt IMHO. The improvement in driveability from the uprev should make you nice and happy, especially if you've got a noise you like, unless you're chasing numbers. Just sayin'

genius, ordered

In the spirit of sharing, most of my (slightly older) mates back in the day were massively into early 90s dance and it stuck with me ever since. I love the piano house tunes of the mid-90s and keep my hand in on electronic stuff, mainly breaks and deep drum n bass now. A mate of mine is a DJ and just started making his own tracks. One of his radio sets below, might not be for everyone, but fairly liquid funk.
