Last year, in a bid to get more people involved in track time, we trialled CSF taxis to try and help with the awkwardness of approaching strangers to ask for passenger rides. Willing members had a sticker in their window to show that they were happy to take people out for rides during the day...
I’m currently refurbing some 135i alloys, during the keying I noticed ‘13’ embossed into the wheel on the spoke next to where the little ///M badge sits.
Does anyone have any idea what it’s for?
I’m not going to lose sleep over it but I figured this is the best place to ask
Who's heading up to CSF on the Friday?
I'll be heading up on the Thursday so won't be able to make a convoy but I thought I'd knock a thread up to get the ball rolling for anyone interested.
What's worked in the past is the Chester/north wales members meeting at Chester services before meeting...
My mrs changed her phone provider to some b****cks company a while back. She was given a temporary number before her old one went over.
After the old number moved over I could only phone it, all texts would go to the new number.
If I text the original one, it'll only text her, not iMessage...
Who is up for a rolling road day at @RevLimitUK in middlewich.
I'm thinking September to get csf out of the way.
The last I spoke to them they had space enough outside to accommodate 40 odd cars and they're currently expanding their premesis and dyno cell so should be a good day.
Just happened across this video which will be very helpful to any budding detailers. This sums up a 'big wash' for me, I do these twice/three times a year minus the polishing to decontaminate and lay protection.
See if you can spot the mistakes
The main mistake is not using tar and fallout...
I was asked by a friend to give his M3 a going over to try and remove some swirls and scratches from the bodywork. The previous owner looks to have been quite aggressive with the cleaning.
It's generally well maintained, regularly washed and usually sat in the garage, so it looks OK from afar...
Since I've noticed a lot of people like to chat about tools, get advice on purchasing and tips on tricks and usage, I thought it'd be a good idea to have a dedicated sub forum.
Enjoy
@BGEarles dropped his 182 off on Friday for me to go over.
I don't know where to begin as this thing was the most awkward car to correct I've ever done. I really wasn't expecting the paint to be so solid.
Anyway, Ben dropped the car off and I cracked straight on, I forgot to get any befores...
@sabian92 has been asking me to do his car for a while and the weather just got good enough to crack on last weekend. I got burnt to hell working in the sun on Saturday!
On first inspection it wasn't that bad, dusty with some mud here and there and a fair bit of tar but nothing too bad...
I assume there's a fair few painters on here, since we've recently started doing 'proper' spray painting in work, I've started reading up on how to get proper automotive finishes, what effects orange peel, how to spray metallic and pearl etc.
This is complete overkill for work as we literally...
I found this being broke with cs15 and 16 stickers in the rear window.
Who's was this?

Here's a very quick, very rough guide for anyone wanting to remove backgrounds in photoshop or similar.
The app I use is called art studio for iOS.

In the selection tools, I use this one. The name escapes me but it joins up points which you put on the image to make a...
For those of you who drive the car to the track, how do you get home from a track day if the car is undrivable?
Say it's been crashed or it's had a break down, do you have some kind of cover to get home or do you just ring a recovery firm and pay through the nose?
The reason I ask is after my...
Does anyone know what aftermarket lines are the closest to OEM fitment, I.e. Going around the damper, mounting on the hub and fitting to the calliper.
I like the look of these but I can't see a length to them.

I had no idea Renault even made these, does anyone know anything about them, do they just support calls, can they stream music, can you control the phone/calls with the radio/stalk controls?
Part number 7711433745 if it helps
@Ash. Is selling off some of his waxes but is too lazy to make his own thread.
