I’ve decided to keep the Mazda for another summer at least, so thought I’d do a quick thread of it.
It’s a 2006 NC model with the 2 litre engine, which we bought as completely standard early last year. I did have a Z3 3.0 at the time, which was really quite quick, but missed the fun/handling of...
So I’ve got myself another 130i. I did have a 130i LE previously, but sold it to finance a wedding/house purchase.
The car is ok spec wise, but is missing nav (not bothered) and xenons (bit bothered). Three door 130’s come up for sale so infrequently though. Even though the LE was only 1/160...
Three weeks ago I was the owner of a Z3 3.0 & a 330ci. Short story, got a bit bored & wanted to free up some money, so got rid and bought an MX5 mk3 and my third 182. Loved both of the first cars but fancied a change, as you do. First two were BG:

Wasn’t in too much of a rush...
Lost what i think was the last bit of my undertray today. Shat my pants as it fell off at 80mph and smashed to bits under my wheels. Can anyone tell me what exactly should be under there? Are there 3 bits, a centre piece and two bits in front of the arches/arch liners?
Got the 330 back from the body shop after a front/rear bumper and boot lid respray. I was going to clean them both but got bored after cleaning the clio. I will do a separate thread eventually for the beemer, but basic info for now; 49,000 miles, FULL spec, electric sunroof, electric heated...
182 was behind me in mine through Botley. The 172 pulled alongside me in the 330ci at Fareham central roundabout... then cut in front to get to the Tesco entrance, naughty :rasp:
Bought a 330ci a fortnight ago. It's a pre-facelift which i really wanted (they look more aggressive than the facelift imo), low mileage at only 58,000 and has full spec - i think literally everything available, xenons, heated memory leather, nav, electric sunroof etc etc. However, the paintwork...
Wow, how crap is the Note II's camera. I cleaned my car for the first time since Oct/Nov today. It has been washed in-between, but I'm not sure on the wisdom of letting the £5 a time Romanians loose on it :o
After a good clean I can really see what needs doing. There are a couple of small chips...
Finally got some decent pics of our SLC350, just gone up for sale in Germany. My wife's family have owned it since new, bought in 1979. We've had it in the UK on numerous occasions and would love to ship it over but it's not financially viable really. Such a special car, will be a shame to see...
So I got married last week. The good thing was that I avoided the tedium of a white church wedding and went on a road trip to Germany. There were about 30 guests in total, with 6 of us travelling out by car, 2 x 182’s (Me and Denis – RealNumber1) and a Golf diesel. First night stop was Brugge...
So I put my new wheels on Friday evening. I had originally arranged a purchase of some silver Superleggeras but had to cancel when our Roadster blew up :eek:
Anyhow, decided we'd go ahead and buy some new wheels regardless as the 182 wheels aren't the best. I also fitted the shorter aerial from...
House has been torn to pieces, I'm thinking I must have left it on a wheel when tightening them a few days ago. So, what are my options. I'm reluctant to try hammers/welding a new nut on etc. I don't have the box it came in either as it was just loose in the glove box when I bought the car. Can...
Ok, so I would like new wheels. The problem is, I don't have any money. Currently I have some anthracite 182 alloys in perfect condition, but I have never been a fan of the style and I would really like some nice bright silver wheels to contrast the BG colour. Since I have no money I'm thinking...
After selling my old BG182 just over 16 months ago I’m back in another. Ideally I wanted a different colour this time but I needed a car asap when the Z4 went, and when this popped up on the forum I went and collected almost the next day...
This may be a real spaz-ma-taz question. However, I have a knocking come from the rear and i'd like some pointers as to where to look. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly but it's definitely coming from the rear, it's quite a bassy thud, and it's when i go over larger bumps. I have checked under...
I got a quote from a local 'specialist' for springs and rear camber shims fitting. I must admit it was a LOT more than I expected. I usually use Rentech but Mike is closed for a while. I was just wondering if anyone knows a decent garage locally (called a few who said they dont do this type of...
I am absolutely useless when it comes to car audio. I bought this stereo to go in my last car but as that's now gone i'm going to put it in the Clio.

The stereo allows me to keep my stalk controls. I am aware I need to buy...

Bloomin nightmare, but house ownership beats a nice car.
So, I’ve had the car just over a month and have done a few bits and pieces to it. Hopefully, money permitting, there will be a few more minor modifications whilst the car is in my ownership so I thought I’d create this thread to document it. This is how the car looked the day we picked it up...
(warning - apologies for horrendous pics) Just recently returned from a trip to southern Germany. My fianceé is German and went to collect her mum who was gonna stay with us for a while. Caught the Eurotunnel to Calais and stayed a night in Reims. Beautiful city.
Stopped at the Reims-Gueux...
I was behind you in the 130 after you cut me up at the roundabout ;)
Couldn't really see you in the mirrors but those lads that walked in front of you at the lights obviously thought you were hot, lol :o.
