Alright, I’m slightly over budget for full bangernomics status, but this is by far the cheapest car I’ve ever bought.
The car itself...
Purchased blind (and slightly intoxicated) for £1900 off ebay. Slight background to the purchase is that I’m currently based on a site 4 miles from home and...
Evening. After moving into my house a few months ago and after sharing a car with the fiance for 15 months, I got on the hunt for a weekend car/2 mile round trip commute car. Didn’t want to spend much with an upcoming wedding blah blah blah.
Ended up settling on an ep3 for various reasons...
Looking to spend some decent money on a speaker. Added bonus of these is more can be added on and to create multi room etc.
Anyone any experiences of either?
Edit: soundtouch not link, my apologies.
Looking to get into machine polishing. Been watching plenty of youtube vids etc and it looks simple enough aslong as I take my time.
Been looking at alot of stuff and tbh it gets abit overwhelming looking at all the different ones.
Any advice?
Looking for a decent garage that can put a standard cat back on the car and also put some silencers into an rs192 system.
Pipewerx is the closest to me but i hear they have a 2 month waiting list.
Posting in here before I have to go to the apple shop as I'm sh*t with technology and can't understand the craic.
I basically want something to watch netflix/iplayer/itvplayer etc etc on in my room, can I do this? Does the box run off wifi?
Ive recently learned that you can't use sky go on...
Thought I'd post a picture of my super rare Fiesta.
It is an ST3 but apart from that is the same as any blue Fiesta. The plates ruin the car so they are being changed, and I ordered a Triple R splitter many moons ago so god knows where that is.
Enjoying it so far. Averaged 35 mpg over 150...
A black 172 coming out of the trafford centre last night, giving it billy big spuds in the underground bit and then chasing me up the motorway. Better luck next time.
Just got back from two weeks and 3000 miles around Europe. I'm not the best with a camera, just thought a few people would like to see the cars/scenery we saw along the way. I'll use this primarily for cars but we've been to some unbelievable places so I'll throw in some scenery. Over 700 photos...
It's been a long time coming, but I've finally bought one. Not collected it yet so I've only got dealer shots, but excited isn't the word. The noise. The seats. The end.

Right, well I've had the car a week today and I've finally got round to giving it a good clean and some pictures. At the moment I'm absolutely loving it, and in this thread I thought I'd also do a comparison with the 182 (which I really miss!). I'll also use it as a blog and update as I go...
This is slightly console based but mainly just a question.
Someone has just told me that because my grandparents have Sky, I can somehow use their subscription on my Xbox app to watch Sky, even though they don't live in the same house.
Is that true? And if so how do I go about it?
I want to take it off as I hate it.
Basically indo the nut, remove and then put the nut back. How tight should I do the nut when I put it back?
Any advice appreciated.
Do any of you fellow northwesterners fancy detailing my car? I.e a machine polish and abit of a protection. I'd love to have a go myself but I'm a novice and worried I'd do some damage, so it would be nice to observe someone aswell.
Money will of course change hands for any service anyone kind...
Got together with Scott (Knuckles) earlier today for a chat and a few pictures and got abit snap happy.

...to clean the exhaust. Simple, but effective.

Outside what I presume to be your house. You were at the front wheel having a maul with something. I remember you telling me at the Chester meet you were a detailer so I'm not sure if you were cleaning!
Looked awesome none-the-less!
Got home from work sharpish for once so thought I'd give a few new goodies a try out. In the end I only ended up washing and claying it as I didn't realise how contaminated the paint was, so it will have to wait another time for the full works. Went for a quick blast after as the weather was...
