Nothing happened obviously. Wonder are certain mods taking a few quid in the back pocket from the shillers around here....

Christ, of course we're not. If you have a problem with people shilling, report the posts. Simple as. As for TT's thread, the guy asks for one favor that an internet forum can actually help with and he gets stick for it. Sheesh.

And as for Ardennes, the guy just wants a few clicks on a survey for college, that is not a shill. And it's not like he's not a regular contributor to this place.

Now i'd appreciate it if people would PM me or us mods about issues they have, rather than bringing things up on thread.

I've been cycling to work for the last 4 days with the car out of action, i miss it like crazy.

I was just thinking that I have driven my car pretty much every single day for the last 4 years, bar a two week holiday in 2008. It feels weird not being able to go anywhere.

Timing belt kit (roller + belt) and lower engine mount got for the 406, woot!

Can anyone point me where to get a set of these, in 17 guise cheap? Or if anyone wants to do a swap! For the, er, same car...


Or one of these!


Because out of my parts bin I don't have either of those!

I usually do a running theme with my motors, I wonder can people see where this is going...

am i the only one who thinks that paying 8keu for a twincam is pure lunacy?

there are few of them for sale and all with such prices. for 8k you can get an awesome modern sports car. or get mx5 for less then half, which will do the same.

good question.

i presume any JAP performance stuff will sooner or later go up in price. remember that new tax system destroyed anything that is not diesel, so anything that is petrol and has few HP is not for irish market. so the only cars that are somewhat sporty with new band: 335/335d 535/535d.
