Wait im slightly confused, is it these kind of post or what kind of posts are you reffering to?

:rolleyes:

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.

dgt

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! :rolleyes:

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? :rolleyes:

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.

The maintenance costs on them diesels will make them fairly worthless in time me thinks.

I bought one for £2.5k (16+ years ago) and I know someone who bought one last year for £13:eek: in fairness it was immaculate, but still.

I got a run in his about a month ago and it brought all the memories back, so easy to put them sideways.:D

are you adding an extra set of speakers or are they part of the factory setup?

It might be in the boot, depending on your car. When you want to change the radio station, where are the buttons? Are they in the boot, because they are attached to your stereo.

Nobody is as daft as this guy constantly makes himself out to be. And all the "I'm only learning" lines do not excuse that.
