Unfortunately.

Would be a good job for the driftin lads though no? 500 euro for an sr20 and break the primera. Make more than your money back.

That can all be unlocked if you know someone with INPA software, BMW will charge a fair bit for it or might not even do it at all.

I do not unfortunately:( Might just leave it so if they want money to do it... I've given Kearys enough money over the years!!

I could be wrong that they charge but I can see them doing it. Have a look on BMWHaus and Driver, loads of people with INPA that'd be happy to help. Where abouts are ya?

Got the tracking done in car fit today. Sound in there and quick. Just as well I did too as was out a bit after lowering!

CianRyan · 02-05-2015 03:31PM

And the rally has begun.

Duke O Smiley · 02-05-2015 03:35PM

What actually happened do you know? I heard that this fella tried to out-run the guards but ended up crashing into the island? Or is that just some rumour going around?

CianRyan · 02-05-2015 03:39PM

I heard the same, got into a car chase with an unmarked Garda car and hit the Island.
****ing eejit, I hope the car is repaired and given to a proper owner.

Sorry for the car, to good for the owner.

I think that's the biggest thing of all is he lost to an i40 estate must of been some idiot. It's a pity that people like this ruin the rally for everyone trying to have a good weekend out.

CianRyan · 02-05-2015 04:50PM

He's a damn fool.
I can understand lads out in Molls Gap at 4 in the morning, miles from life but anyone trying to out run a Garda in the middle of the town deserves everything he's got going to him.

I know everyone in a modified/performance car is targeted all weekend which is just bad form anyway but this is why, there's eejits and good guys on both sides.

He must not have heard, never skimp on your tyres.

These kingstar tyres are class very under rated tyre sure why would you bother with bridgestone or Goodyears complete waste of money.

Is what I would say if I was full of bullsh!t

put the accelerator down at all in second coming of a roundabout in the wet and the tyres are spinning away. Tbh there sh!t enough even in the dry.

No video, just a picture. There's a few more on the Garda Facebook page.

Nah, I'm here in Tallaght and only wishing I was down there.
Purely for the rally stages of course.

One of the lads on here and the BMW forums, Rebel.Ranter did all the diagnostics for mine, might be worth giving him a shout, he's in Cork City like myself. Didn't realise you're in Cork, you must bring that to a meet!

I will! I actually drive through a car meet in tesco a month or 2 back, I was seriously caught for time though so I couldn't stop. Didn't even realise it was on until I drove up looking for a parking spot! But I recall seeing your e39 and a red focus st I believe is belonged to GavMan?

That was us alright, small mini meet at the SqueakyClean car show, was a good bit of craic. I usually meet the BMWHaus lads on Sunday mornings at the Spar in Little Island.

Ha no.... This SR20 is FWD. FWD/RWD transmissions aren't interchangeable, and that's before you deal with it being auto.

Ah right, I'll have to join up there and pop along to one of those sometime. I've barely been able to drive it since I bought in in February due to back pain, then surgery etc... Still have another month before I can drive again

I'm pretty sure it is non turbo either.

That sucks! Hopefully you'll be back into it in no time!

It's relatively easy to add a turbo to the SR20DE, that's not the issue :P

davycc · 02-05-2015 09:21PM

Ah I see! I'm in Kerry myself a few miles away and ill probably spin over for the craic too at some stage . Was at the listowel military tattoo today will try upload some classic army pics tomorrow night hopefully too.

he probably couldn't see through that sun visor in the dark :P. you'd wonder when he got that far down the glass why he didn't just go the whole hog and tint the front windscreen, it'd be just as stupid, but look more uniform.

Alanstrainor · 02-05-2015 10:10PM

So the kidney grill on the front of my e46 broke. It's currently held on with a string of cable ties

So, I'm going to order new ones on eBay. The question is, do I go for chrome look (standard), carbon fibre, plain black or other?

The carbon fibre ones are kind of tempting...but I fear it'll look tacky.

Bpmull · 02-05-2015 10:10PM

I'm after discovering something that's after making me very very thick tbh.

When I went to look at my car on Friday the one I bought I noticed the driver sill had a dent one foot long like it was caught in a rock or high path and pulled. Now although I was slightly bothered it's not terribly noticeable and I figured my own fault for not spotting it when I put a deposit on the car.

Except I looked back a pictures of the car I took when I first looked at it and had screen shotted a picture of the ad. Guess what no damage whatsoever. So I hadn't missed it it wasn't there. So chances are the fruitcake that lost the keys also done the damage and most likely never told anyone. I'm so annoyed over it tbh. As otherwise it's a straight car fsh one owner nice to drive and the few small scratches they are going sorting. But now this.
