Niel gets groomed...

Okay - my track car plan is back on now, and i've got another mate coming in on the deal... so now 3 of us are going to buy a cheap-ass whip...! I've had a look at all suggestions that people have made, but they're all too expensive. Our OTR budget - incl collecting it, tax/ins for the day etc is £750! So, looking on fleabay - we appear to be limited to MX-5's and e36 318's... (e30's are worth more than e36's!!) Soooo does anyone know if we'll be able to unstick a 318 (once its stripped and all)... bearing in mind that the drift tracks are like ice? Anyone driven a 318 in the wet recently?? I feel a bit stupid asking this as i had a 316 about 4 years ago... but i dont think i could unstick it - although i never tried!

Erm... i was eating my popcorn first... i was just being polite about it.

Aren' these the mucho $$$ endlinks Alex? I need some standard endlinks as mine creak like a sinking ship and need to replace them!

Hmmm... i think thats where my Engine Management light is... i'll check tonight on my way home.

Nice one Alex... very useful post!

Just put this on ebay now http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270418333481

Hence my popcorn...

Post up a picture of the sticker location mate - and someone will be able to tell you what should be there... Worrying if it is the engine management light though

Sorry but thats Definitely wouldn't be in my dream garage... i wouldnt pay £10k for that!

Love it mate - nice work.

That is a horrific story mate - very sorry to hear it. The nationality is not the issue here - i've just driven home from south wales tonight to have 3 absolute pricks overtake me at night on a blind bend - and i was doing 75mph as it was! It was some teenagers in an evo 3, pug 106 and an old shape civic. Yes, i was driving fast but not dangerously - but these guys just had no regard for other road users. Shocking.

Trigonometry is your friend Ross! Who's he... is he a polish guy who does drive ways?

Holy kidy porn batman - thats pretty bad!

Yeh my mate fitted an elise splitter to his clio about 5 years ago! I've got no idea how you'd know if you could fit a specific splitter from a car without having it infront of you to measure it up. You've got to consider the width, height, where it curves, if its flexible enough to be curved elsewhere, could it be screwed or will it have to be glued etc etc...

At the moment you're the only one moaning, Mark. If you want to start another thread, feel free. +1. I for one, think that this is a very interesting bit of work... i like the TK z style - but there is know way i'd *EVER* even think about paying 70quid for one I dont have a clue, or even care who TK are/is, and if i dont know, im damn sure 99.9% of the public dont know either I like the badge - so i'd rather buy a cheap one. As for these, i'd need to see some 'fitted' shots before i consider buying, as i cant picture the scale/depth/quality from RT's pics... so looking forward to seeing them. Nice job Rich.

I cant afford to have RC as a hobby! i used to do it in early teens and my car was off the track more than on it - and then i attempted to take it up again last year... bought all the car and kit etc - took it to a meet, and 3 things broke on the first day! Cost me another 40quid to carry on It brought back all my previous bad memories - so i came home and stuck the thing on eBay! Have to admit though - that drifting looks ace.
