So following on from this: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/e46-m3-individual-version-2.782097/ A few good months of hard saving meant that i could finally buy want i really wanted back in September 2015!! Well actually, i originally wanted a coupe, but was drawn into the rarity of the saloon...

Good video, great (but not surprising) outcome.

So then, this wont be a massively long thread full of modifications & faffing, it'll just be a place to put a load of (cr4p) pictures now & again. I went out looking for an e92 M3 to replace the M135i and ended up buying this instead, half the price spent meant more money for other things. Its...

So trackday at Donington yesterday, did about 30 mins epic running, then misfire, P302 (should be cyl2) on Scanguage. Pulled everything apart, fitted new leads/coilpack off a friends Cooper S, same problem, pulled pugs out to be greeted by the following: Cylinders 1>2>3>4 left to right...

This project was actually started in March 2008 (by Sarah's brother), but as he moved to Dubai recently, i thought id better take it off his hands :slap: So off i went on Sunday to Cardiff on the Megabus. It cost £10.50 from London Victoria, but smelled very much of wee, so next time ill get the...

So with this years trip almost upon us, FailSport's older members decided that it was time for some waft, preferably V8 powered. The Youfs did the 1*2 last year, so for 2014 we thought something more gentile would be in order, with the option to do doughnuts if required naturally. After much...

I have no space to keep it at the moment, so it has to find a new owner. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mini/cooper-s-works/mini-mini-cooper-s-jcw-gp-------------2006/2193325?isexperiment=true Don't really want to take a part-ex, but will take a sheddy clio to break if it...

So yesterday was the day, the day I got my first brand new car. Whoop whoop!!! Jumped on the train at Walton, got to Basingstoke, changed for Reading, then onto Bristol Parkway (booked as one ticket it would have been £62, but as three separate ones, £28 – WTF?!), then a quick taxi ride (in an...

Shamelessly stolen from Pistonheads, but never mind, absolutely heroic levels of commitment!!! Braking is for girls etc.

Now, i wouldn't normally post anything up about my family, by i'm actually in awe of some of the things my bro has been up to lately, so i thought id share in this section. He's a lead environment artist at TTFusion (Warner Brothers) and has created the following real time environment in his...

Essentially im looking for something that will keep the black bits black - currently use Turtle Wax tyre gel, which does work, but not for very long lol. Im not a detailer (by any stretch of the imagination), but i will be cleaning the GP every couple of weeks & doing the black bits adds a good...

So on the 10th August I picked up this little bad boy, proper review will come at a later date in my ownership thread, but for now, I thought id just put up some pictures. Apologies, my camera skillz are weak, but at least I didn’t use the iPhone4 this time round!! Done over 2k miles in it...

Currently pondering between the 2 headunits, but cant really work out the differences. Have looked at various other units, but narrowed it down to these two. Both have bluetooth, cd player, ipod control etc. Cheaper one seems to do everything i want, but just wondering if its worth the extra...

Ive tried in MS Paint and it just didnt work lol :o These wheels: On this car: ​Much appreciated :star:

Was going through some photos earlier on for another forum, so thought i might as well post them up on here as well. Always find it interesting seeing people's car journeys, so here's mine, from age 17-30 (no digital pics of 1st car). Hope you enjoy them as much as i have :D 17: Daihatsu...

Now back to standard, Haldex controller removed and up for sale properly. All sensible offers invited as we've found a house we like: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/golf-r32-r/high-spec-volkswagen-golf-mk5-r32-2006/1406754

Easter Weekend. On Clarence street to be exact. Never seen one before, looked lovely, albeit the colour was a bit 'Trophy thats never been polished'.

So yeah, took a deposit on the Trophy the other day, R32 will be up for sale shortly, & this will shortly be my sole mode of transport. As we're actually starting to look for a house now, cash in the bank is more important now really. '52 plate, 64k miles, full BMWSH, MOT/Tax till November...

Firstly, apologies for the lack of tyre shine, but i was in a bit of a rush to get some pictures and forgot to do it :dapprove: Spec is now perfect imho - all the factory options bar sunroof, Recaros, coilovers & Wireless Haldex Controller. With a manual box it would be the best all round car...

Looks like a bit of a bargain: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renault-clio-x65-182-trophy/1123518 Previous owner well known on here iirc. ;)

Symptoms: Humming from 30-75 where its loudest, stops at 80 Stops when i apply any lock to the left Does it in gear, or in neutral with clutch in Sounds like its coming from the front of the car First thought was a wheel bearing (& what i was told was the issue on purchasing), but we checked...

Sometimes you have to move on, & it was for this reason alone that i decided to clean it this weekend. Method for the geeks: Pressure wash, AG shampoo & wash mit, bucket with grit guards, followed by half a bottle of of Iron-X. I havent clayed, polished or machine polished it yet, which imho...

So following on from this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?647559-Replicating-iPad-screen-audio-on-screen-home-threatre I bought an Apple TV at the weekend and have now setup it all up. However, im beginning to wish i hadnt bothered, as even when trying to do something as...

The write up that im sure you’ve all been waiting for!! Well some of you, mostly those who actually went on the trip that have been looking forwards to a giggle at our own stupidity!! Or, for those that were simply pissed from the moment we left England, to when we dumped you back at your house...

So last Saturday (30th July) i went to look at an S2000. Unfortunately however, not only was it a shed (disappointing as it was a Honda main dealer), i also realised that ive been very much spoiled by the quality interiors of the Germans for too many years, & the Honda simply didnt cut the...

As above really, Sarah bought me the new one for my 30th and considering ive only just worked out how to put music on my iPod via iTunes, i need a little advice. Ive got a 50" lcd TV with all the modern connections, Sony home cinema (5 speakers & sub), then Kef speakers running through a...

Just in case anyone is thinking of buying these things, MSV are currently offering them at 30% off. So the 182 Cup 60mm spacing full rear coilovers are only £630: http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/detprod.asp?productcode=RSX123&PID=1564483 This is cheaper than 519, even with his current 25%...

Or perhaps not. This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz :race: On Sportlines On H&R's Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe is all...

So these arrived on Monday morning, so we're going to have a crack at fitting them on Friday evening. Actually fitting them shouldnt be too much of a concern, but im quite interested to hear people's thoughts on height, etc. My current plan to to drop the the car about 10mm further down than...

Essentially the Trophy hasnt been cleaned in about 6 months, & last time, the only way we could get rid of the ground in dirt was by using a toilet brush. Needless to say, i only did that on the door sills, not the rest of the car, which is why it still feels as rough as a badgers ar5e...
