04 DE is worth about £6K unless you find someone special. Even if we assume you get £7K for yours, another £7.5K gets you to where you want to be. By the time you've bought the Evo at £13K you're talking a cost of £6K, and that assumes there's nothing wrong with it or that you don't decide to mod that too (yeah, right!). You're left with an unknown entity of a car that could be perfect or could be mullered, Is that worth it for the saving of £1.5K? You'll spend that on the extra fuel and servicing of an Evo in the first year. By all means get an Evo if you want an Evo, but don't kid yourself with the man maths.

I'd be amazed if that didn't come back as 50/50 in the very least, if not 100% your fault. Not saying it is for one minute, but unless he admits to pulling into you then I reckon you could be stuffed. Don't muck around with cheaper cams, just get a Blackvue: Clicky for the one I've got. That gets the Dan Seal Of Recommendation, and not a lot does!

Meh, as long as it's between the min and the max it's fine. I wish Nissan would just remove that gauge, it causes more sleepless nights than it prevents!

True, but until the current court case is concluded these things remain perfectly legal to purchase and use. Does make me laugh how they're now generally referred to as Kodi boxes, like they contain some kind of magic: All they are pointing you to are video streams on the internet, available from anything* with a web browser. *iOS, as usual, is a little more fussy.

Booooo

Erm, woah! 4" will be scraping the floor, no chance I'd do that! Post a pic, I've a hard time seeing what you mean. And no, you'll have to cut and reweld the whole thing as otherwise the joints won't line up.

So did the 996 911s, but they removed the proper dipstick in the 997 generation. The dipsticks!

I think he means in addition to the 335i and the S2K, not instead of. And yeah, I can kinda see why you's want a little runaround. Personally I'd go for a Clio 200 instead, in Liquid Yellow with both Cup packs and the Recaros

Agreed, how hard can it possibly be for them to design a sensor that tells you when oil is low, rather than when you're f*cked?! Quick pretest before the car is started when it's stone cold overnight and job's a carrot. In fairness, a lot of modern posher stuff will do this (Pork and BMW engines certainly do, I'm not sure on others).

I'm amazed they let one go, I thought they were absolute sticklers for not having trademarked things on cards? Although in this case clearly there's nothing left that's recognisable!

Yup, identical fitments.

Never, ever, ever use the pressure gauge to judge oil level. Ever. It's as useless as a useless thing for that purpose. At this point tbh I'd be dropping the oil out of the engine and measuring exactly what was in there. You can then (hopefully) add more if needed or (hopefully not!) remove some, and then when you measure the level on the dipstick you will know exactly what full is supposed to look like.

I so need to start doing some drifting

Racialist!!!!11

Awww you done me an unkind

On the flip side, I always buy the first car I look at, never gone wrong yet

Is a Mazda 5 a seven-seater?

You're doing this on purpose now

I'm not convinced you've got the hang of this yet

The best dinosaur is the Bantersaurus Rex!

They look about the right prices to me, I've certainly never seen them any cheaper than that. In fact, that's cheaper than what I paid for my 245/45/18s back in January of last year when I bought the BMW. If you saw them at £130 a tyre then that's just ridiculously cheap. At £160, they're an utter bargain. Now I have even less time for people who run cheaper inferior rubber on their cars!

Zafira should be around in that budget too?

No idea where you've seen that, they're actually cheaper now than when I bought mine back in the summer. I paid about £220 for a 275/40/18, they're down to £190 now. Perhaps it's down to the sizes you're after? Bearing in mind they stopped making certain sizes in the summer, and only carried on where there was an OEM supplied fitment.

Good god man, I'm nearly 40 and even I've heard of bantz
