Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Completely OT here but by any chance were you at the Sandyford Luas around 5pm this evening? I was driving past on the way to Woodies and saw what I thought was a Black Trans-Am. Was it you? Because I almost beeped you but then realised it would have been ridiculous, but also that yoke is some machine!

I think it was closer to 5.30 in fact!

I still have difficulty appreciating the E60 and will never warm to the E65 however the F10 and F01 are back in form. The E46 coupe is a smashing car however.
Where'd you take that pic Al?
Just near my estate, couldn't get the father to venture any further for a photo shoot!
I was never too fond of the e60, but I think that colour is really nice in it. You don't see too many around in that colour. Comes up really well with a bit of TLC.
Completely agree about the e46 though;)
Also, I bought a new tax/insurance/nct holder today, other one looked ridiculous!0 -

Saturday I got some good part worns from Walkinstown Tyre Centre, Cant reccommend them highly enough, sound chaps.
€200 for the following fitted and balanced:
2x Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225/40/18 5mm thread
2x Continental Sport Contact 3 255/35/18 4mm thread
Delighted with them, unbelievable grip whether its dry or wet.
Saturday evening CM and MM and even RLH (too many acronyms
) arrived on the scene and we got cracking on the new M sport bumper and the new air intake.
Heres the during shots:
And heres the after shots
New bumper
New rims
Need centre caps!
Shiny detailed engine bay with stock air intake instead of the K&N hot air intake that came with it.
Engine is definitely breathing better with the stock air intake and its a little bit quieter too!
Delighted with it, always regretted not holding out for a facelift model but the new bumper makes a huge difference and im content now0 -

They're made from carbon fibre, thus lighter.
Urm...the one on the right looks fine to me, its a proper carbon cabin filter and is supposed to be that colour. The one on the left is just a basic pollen filter so won't filter as many particles as the one you took out.

Will leave me with an entirely new rear end. Lots of fun ahead.
Don't throw all the old bits out - they're probably in better nick than the bits on mine! 0 -
Well I finally got around to sorting the drainage for the alternator...I decided to do it as last week it was lashing rain in Mayo

Ice cream box with drain tube hot glued to it.

Took a couple of pics of the start of my collection of future classics:P
Got this for nothing, it was going to be scrapped but closer inspection showed a car that was as close to mint as could be expected for a cheap, small 14 year old car.
Lots of paint restoration required but not a dent or scratch anywhere nor any rust.
Interior, mostly as new apart from the steering wheel which seems to have gone a funny colour. The boot even still has the factory sunroof cover stowed with the spare wheel.
Still has its original Pirelli P700 tyres fitted.....and they still look like new:eek:
Plan is to clean it up do a couple of small jobs that are needed, replace rad, 1 headlamp, 1 side repeater and a bit of a service then wrap it up and store it up to be wheeled out again when its a classic.0 -

Most of us, as car enthusiasts, love occasionally seeing the cars we remember from years ago on the road or at a classic show etc so I just though it would be a good(and cheap and easy) one to save.
Other plans are still afoot though;)
Totally, yeah but some cars that were on the road I would gladly never see again!

I agree, and the fiat is easily slagged but I wouldn't class a cinq sporting as one of them, they are a little flier and drive like a go kart....likely the closest thing to the original Mini that there has been.0 -

As you know I'm in to the Classic scene and maybe it's just me getting old but I don't think a Cinq belongs there. Then again I may eat my hat yet as I see the likes of Mk II Fiestas and E80 Corollas at shows and I don't think they belong either! 0 -

Ah you're just a snob :pac:
I love going to the classic shows and seeing all sorts of cars that would have been everywhere when I was a nipper. I even love looking at old photos and seeing what would have been run of the mill stuff, avengers, escorts, cortinas, old fiats, cherrys, bluebirds etc etc
I'd love to get my hands on a clean Datsun 120Y actually0 -
