What do you mean a conversion? Like the way in Knight Rider years ago they gave it a convertible option and 300mph boost!?!

No I mean throw out the 318 engine, gearbox and wiring loom and flake in a 325 engine, gearbox and wiring loom!

No but it wouldn't have helped my post if I quoted that part :P

I hope that turbo blows up in yo face! :pac:

A convertible because I really want one! That is clean looking but itd have to have the updated 98/99 centre console especially after seeing how much it takes to retro install one.
There's a nice red e46 convertible in cork on donedeal, passed me by college too, looks well. But I'm not quite ready to buy yet anyway.
I realise my car is gonna be a bitch to sell on, im thinking of putting it up for sale now just to see what happens, and even then I don't know should I put it up with pictures of the xp lip kit, new headlights etc or just bare enough as it was a few months ago.

A manual t5 s40 wouldn't be bad either.

Anyone know where i can get a deres done on my exhaust system in the west/midlands ?

Cba forking out for an expensive cat back

Any exhaust place or mechanic thats decent with a welder can do it, but specifically Souhans in Trim will do a pro job.

Pending where your resonator is you could do cut a section out and put in a straight pipe yourself no problem. Use exhaust sleeve clamps and no welding needed and removable. Im going to do it with my Merc at some point.

on the topic of exhausts...
the heat wrap on mine is gone.quickest easiest and cheapest fix?car currently sounds like something briggs and straton makey
hole in the wrap the size of a small fist
i think its called the resonator.and by heatwrap im talkin about the kind of woven steel strings that wrap around a kinda flexible bit of the exhaust.apologies if it sounds like verbal diarhea but car exhausts i know little of

Anyone know where I could get a snow foam lance in Dublin? Would order online but I'd like it for the long weekend.

The lads in detailing shed stock them. They are in Blanch as far as in know. If you get in touch you might be able to collect.

A truck went off a bridge on the motorway (A6) just down the road from me today, when I was coming home for lunch the traffic was back as far as the eye could see, just passed again coming home from work, and its still the same:eek:
Loads of guys were well late for the afternoon and night shifts.
Its the main motorway between the south of France and paris and is always busy. The poor froggy buggers!
