Its back! Not by popular demand but cos I sense things have gone quiet with the, ahem "administrative disturbences" and this might get peeps posting again. If direct linking to an image keep it to a reasonable size - 150 kb. Okay here's mine Mike.

Yep Bryn, the plan was to get a 34gtr or nsx, but nothing good was coming up within budget in Japan and I was getting impatient, I still want either of the above so won't be holding this one for long I wouldn't say

Nearly 2 years ago I put up pictures of my car as I bought it, here it is now with new wheels, new mid spoiler and a small bit lowered

Bluebird at her finest. Goes on sale tonight. I'll miss it after 8 years, but it will be nice to have some refinements for once, plus a fully functioning starter motor, I've gotten some odd looks from people when I had to hit it with a lump of wood and a hammer..Ah but whatever I get won't make me smile like this will.

Always admire your car whenever I pass that way en route to/from work, Liam.

Hope the sale goes well

Always loved that car, probably a lot cheaper to run over there to.

Beautiful BMW!!

Just 2 quick shots, swapped the standard parking bulbs and number plate bulbs for LEDs. Pretty happy with it, nice and noticeable. Shiney shiney.

Thats the workshop manual for that 4g13 engine. A throttle body clean can be done fairly handy by just pulling of the snorkel and jubilee clip. IT made a nice difference to mine especially driving in traffic. Never had any bother with only it only damp getting at the distributor cap the odd dirty morning and it burned/leaked a small drop of oil, about 1 litre/1000 miles.

pish easy . The only problem I remember is the hose was fitted onto the TB fairly tight. I used a screwdriver to lever it off and it scratched the outside of the TB a bit. Bit of wd in there first and a plastic tyre lever would have been better maybe.

Yes the wheels have a lovely concave , it really gives the car a more aggressive stance, they are 18' staggered set up.

Spent the day (literally), claying the car and applying my halfords special autoglym products. 1 layer of srp and 3 of egp. Too tired to know if I think it was worth the effort!
