So that was you who cancelled the auction for the other mats today!! I was high bidder on them with a £23.50 bid!

That's incredible. The speed being carried through those corners is scary.

Nope - i had my none-brembo rears replaced and there was no grinding at all. Who was it on here recently that put one of their pads in the wrong way round?? I'd find out which side it is, and pop you wheel off to see if you can see anything wrong.

I like them too - and its great to see someone not going for Nismo's!

I saw a stratos yesterday in Macc. And the mkII escort is also one of my favourite cars... i think i'd have really enjoyed it there!!!!

I'll give u £30 for the spats if you wanna split it...?

The single black thing at the top of the rear window - this sounds like your rear windscreen washer! YOu can see it in your rear view when you press the squirt button. As for the front - i'd hazzard a guess that its an aftermarket tv antenna for japanese tv? You see them on ebay for about 30quid i think... doubt it'll be much use over here... ...but thats all just a guess...

Quick question on this - i've never manually performed an HPI check myself, but when i buy a car i ask the dealer about it and they always hand me their HPI check that they did when they bought it... Is this suitable do you think or should i be doing my own too?

can no one burn this guy a copy of their uk disk? seriously?

Hmm... conflicting reports but certainly enough to scare me away...!!

Can anyone tell me why i shouldn't buy this? eBay Blox plenum spacer There is also a billet version for a bit more - but with shipping they're still half the uk price...

Hi Teatowel... Love the e36... as you can see in my sig i've always been a fan! Just a point to check though - your right rear suspension looks a little low - you need to check that the spring is intact! They have a habit of breaking at the top or bottom of the coil. It happened on both of my e36's - once while i was driving and it hit my wheelarch!! Just take the wheel off and feel inside for the ends - if they're sharp/rough, they've snapped. It doesn't affect handling that i know of - but it is an MOT failure.

Cheers pal - crafty that isnt it, although thats how they stay in business i guess.

Yep - im looking forward to it!

Welcome buddy.

Cheers Zummerator - thats the site my work mates have just been on with me... and the financial habits question makes a lot of sense.

Im sorted now... my work buddies have shown me the way! 15months 0% on purchases & balance transfers... i didnt even know what that meant an hour ago! I'll be getting one when the website is up!!

Funny that, i've never had a credit card before and have been asking a few people at work about it - in preparation for the impending website! I've got no dosh in the bank but I want: Wheels (black with a lip) JWT Popcharger Front Mats Plenum Maybe a front lip/bumper depending on cost. Anyone have any advice/tips on credit cards then as i really dont know what im doing!!

Come on Phil, any update? How did the meeting go??

yup.

Yeh i think this must be a speedo issue. I know all speedo's aren't 100% accurate anyway, but mine tops out at 120mph, but as gixxeruk says - that should actually be 112mph - which is a little off putting.

I did this on my test drive... i took it out with the dealer and i was disappointed with the performance, but was being polite and saying 'yeh its good innit'. After about 5 minutes he looked down and told me we're in snow mode, so i switched it off on then had the best test drive ever. Then i bought the car!

A lot of independent car shops (like halfords, but better) do them. Just be aware you'll need your vehicle registration document with you. My local shop in macclesfield did a jdm plate for me.

pm sent...

No, i wasnt joking. I want a second hand one really as im saving for wheels at the moment... but i'll be getting one off Phil if nothing comes up before august!
