guuted ! most of us have been there, done that, got the Tshirt mate

tbh at the price i would buy private, you will get more for your money and i can just imagine what sort of garages sell 1k cars, picked up at an auction for £300 and £1000 sticker put on them

easy tiger heard you the first time

saw that last week on another forum.... madness

warranty ?..... mot mate but most garage dont sell 1k cars

the 330d is major torquey and they chip easily, a bit of a sleeper, not so much off the line but once up and running they can move

bump

ahhhhhhhhhh thats the kiddie, i dont feel like murdering anyone anymore

I had one fitted by our man Phil, and yes it does indeed improve mid range, on the butt dyno at least. I wouldnt say it gives a massive increase, but its certainly feelable and one of the few mods the ECU doesnt cancel out I have the Motordyne 5/16 spacer coupled with a Motordyne MREV2 Lower Collector. Both do improve mid range torque but I'm doubtful that you will see any gains in BHP as the ECU does negate any advertised power gains IMHO. The Lower Collector will further improve airflow to Nos. 1&2 cylinders on REVUP engines only. The only effective way to get full advantage of bolt-on mods is to get a ECU re-flash or send the ECU away.However do the moderate power gains to be had justify the costs involved in upgrading the ECU?? Kevin at Envy Performance was looking into offering a ECU reflash service some time back but not sure what the outcome was. You can go to 1/2 spacer but this will require a modified strut bar to clear the plenum. No gain from the 1/2'' over the 5/16th iirc you cant fit the oem strut brace with a 1/2"

nice but you cant beat a twisty road followed a black 57 plate zed for a long time on the m40

Sounds like a pretty fantastic commute bud dunno mate, that was after a 12hr shift, i was asleep at the wheel horse shoe pass is superb just dont go on a weekend, its like the cat and fiddle run in derby, the have helicopters out for speeding bikes then

Im going to see how it affects insurance soon as we will be getting a joint car, however i may also put my mum or dad on the insurance to lower the price you could put ebized on agreed, shall we say I can do 5000 miles in your car with you providing the petrol for such exclusivity On the other hand Stew - might have to ditch the young flusey and become a toy-boy i'm sorry mate, i didnt want to type that but the big lads made me

+1 but you probably couldn't afford to buy the camera without it be your profession (usually the case, i've found) awesome pics and well shot

he doesnt need to and he doesnt care

and didn't they all have carbon roofs and no sunroof, think you're right kev I thought the carbon roofs were the latest generation, but you might be right. not sure mate, bm's ? never been an aficionado, just remember clarkson driving one around the IOM and that had slicks, carbon roof and a cardboard boot classic fords have more character imo

Beat you on that, mine is 19 we are heading in a direction you could be arrested for best we leave it there dont want a "my missus was last cos she had detention for playing truant" reply Over 16 = fine! Well legally anyway, but not in the, "its right" books. what frightens me about young girlfriends is that they cant afford to go halfs on the petrol
