Motors Chat Thread Round 4

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

One of my house mates did Route 66 over the last two weeks. It looks like a fantastic trip.

Actually can you take a picture of some of the good sights with a half bottle of coke, a shoe and a dirty sock along the way so I can follow up with similar next June?

And if you find CUSTARD I'd love that included JUST 'CAUSE

Had the same problem with the MGF as the suspension wouldn't settle correctly unless it was driven

MuppetCheck

That's very nicely done.

Jaysus, this is something else. A VW Scirocco front end on an Eos. Not a fan of the extreme lowering but that front end on the Eos is slick. Also missing a badge unfortunately. :P

EDIT: Here are some build pic's I found on another forum. It was done in Japan. http://www.eos-forum.de/index.php?page=Thread&postID=151805#post151805

Any tyres I've looked up are not 112!!

What make are they YBfocus?

Edit:Just seen the Accelera crowd thanks!!

Yeah they're not that fantastic but she's no touring car anyway, can't pass them up for that price.

Anyone know how much an indie would charge for a brake fluid change? Mine needs doing, and just curious. I presume it shouldn't be terribly expensive? Anything I should watch out for that is specific to a BMW e46? Or should I be alright?

Needs to be done using diagnostics, as Voodoomelon did a while back on his barge :P

Jesus that's cheap. Cheapest I've seen for my size was close on €300:eek:

YbFocus

Yeah that pic really blew up altogether

They're made by that Accelera crowd, not massively known but anyone who does know them only has good things to say.

They wear slowly too, I get 50% extra mileage compared to the P-Zero's

Two of these arrived today for the tyre hungry BMW, not the most prestige tyre but I've had them before and was happy with them.
Bloody P Zeros burn off in no time!
Got them from Openeo, cheap at €112 a tyre (255/35/19)

As have I.

60% off Bosch parts is good, I purchased new front discs, pads and wear sensors just now.

It may take a week or two though to fit them.

ba_barabus

Great news!

My plastiweld fix has worked.

Now we're motoring

Alanstrainor

Just ordered rear discs and pads from mister auto, should have them next week. Had intended on just popping down to the local motor factors and doing the job today, but mister auto had a good discount on Bosch parts, so I just went with them!

Next on the DIY list of to dos is the cooling system, water pump, belts and tensioners.

But will replacing the box prevent the smoking? surely something causing the smoke??

Indeed there is. The plastic box has managed to get pressed against a tensioner.

Belts are fine as I discovered it in time.

Its being plasti welded now as no scrappy has the part.

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Black smoke back again but I've located it this time. Anyone know of any 318's being broken near Newry?

ba_barabus wrote: »

That should do. Its just a plastic box underneath the main air box.
