Maybe on facelift it seems then, mine was prefacelift bzg and had black stitching..

Could be a facelift thing alright

I don't know if anyone will fully know what the exact spec of the different models were. I've tried for a few years now to work out what was standard on what model and what the options were. Still no closer to knowing it feels

Goodbye old friend!!

Special Circumstances · 06-01-2015 01:41PM

The water pump is gone, it's pumping out coolant faster then I can pour it in!! Also the oil filter housing gasket is gone. And the timing chain needs to be replaced

So it should burn through a months wages anyway :P

Special Circumstances · 06-01-2015 02:25PM

Eek. I've heard those chains like to jump teeth.

Yea they are a disaster. The guy I bring it too for big jobs recomends changing them every 40k miles. I've seen a load of them up in his place that the chains have gone in and it's not pretty!!

So here it is! the generous donation from 93Cab

Aero body kit too

So this is looking likely to be the replacement for my green one as it's completely took itself out sadly

there's just too much to be done on it, issues with this one are it needs a brake overhaul, the clutch release bearing is fecked, it needs an oil switch, tracking, and a few other niggley bits sorted out, other than that its a good straight car, so the plan is to do the clutch on this, polybush the subframe, do the brakes and suspension bits, remap this one instead and swap over any bits i need from my engine onto this one, thats the plan for now at least

Alanstrainor · 09-01-2015 03:34PM

What happened to the green one?!

davycc · 09-01-2015 03:43PM

Shame to hear you're green monster is on it's last legs, never realised it was that bad sorry

Toyotafanboi · 09-01-2015 03:54PM

seems a shame to throw in the towel on the green car now, you must be literally in it to the tune of thousands? what exactly is letting it down?

some car to get for what i assume was free all the same. that colour/ interior/ wheel combo is excellent looking.

Have to agree with all of the above to be honest, they are the only car that can pull of trispokes, yeah i was a fair bit into to it to be honest but with a knackered clutch, leaking waterpump, pulleys going, the alternator was gone, sump leaking, and other bits too, i think it was time to call it, although, I could patch it up and something go again, it was about 1500 worth of work alone, without parts and such, with the blue one, the same procedure is happening with the subframe coming out, being polybushed, new bushings elsewhere and various other bits being done with that's down, I've the spoiler ready to be painted, and in the long run it made sense to do this because the car already has everything I've been after to put into my own bar the turbo and brake upgrades, with the green one whats being done is, the engine is being pulled from it, it's being holed up and that'l be that for the time being, it's not the last you've seen of it that's for sure, I'll need to nct this one and we'l take it from there, i still might be in the green one yet, but for now this is the plan

Cheensbo · 09-01-2015 04:55PM

something something same way I like my women... (on the curragh and covered in sheep shit :pac: )

The big question now is if you change over, will you change over the wheels?

Sorry about the picture quality, it was taken on a film camera (give you an idea of how long ago it was) Car was 12 months old or so at that stage

CianRyan · 10-01-2015 04:36PM

I love the look of film, even cheap film.

colm_mcm · 10-01-2015 05:05PM

That was a disposable camera I'd say. Probably using up the last few shots before developing!

GvidoR · 10-01-2015 05:44PM

I'm useless at photoshop but I think it came out okay since both pictures were taken at different angle and location. :P

Mine's not quite in the same league but she goes like sh1t off a shovel.

A few cheeky pics of the bmw

Got a wash today, she travelled all the way to Leitrim then!
Great machine, exhaust upgrade is classy and still gives you that lovely 6cyl sound!

What about the missing piece of black trim to the left of the front number plate and the mesh missing from underneath that and beside the fog lights?!

Oh mother of mercy!!

Bumpers are both being sprayed, towing eye cover on order as is the mesh! And an M3 lip for that matter!
Go away you
