Got a bit of a spruce for her DD pics.

in the process of putting on MTEC grooved/drilled discs and EBC yellow stuff pads, £400 for the lot. Going to improve my brakes no end.

But, there is always a but. I found the lock nut sheared on the passenger front side, brutal. Not a bit pleased, the place who painted the alloys were the last to use it and probably over tightened the lock nut, cant believe it.

They will be guranteed to say, not our fault.

Subtle difference..

Paint what you can of the mtec's, the ones I had were very bad and quick for corrosion.

Hachiko · 02-05-2015 08:38PM

which ones did you get ?

Grooved and dimpled. Did the job like I have just found they get rotten fairly quick if you a) don't paint the unused sections and b) use below average mileage car (as in 5-10k a year)

Paint them they be fine so.

Hachiko · 02-05-2015 11:09PM

dont do big miles so should be fine with me.

Just got myself this after not having a car for nearly 2 years:

Think it's my first time posting here in almost as long too! Lots of little plans along the lines of OEM upgrades, cc, auto lights etc.

Sweet interior! Never seen one with leather seats over here.

It's not over here though

Thanks. They are really nice supportive seats too. Electric height adjust on the driver side and adjustable lumbar support on both sides too!

Indeed I'm on the other side of the water, but I think these seats are pretty rare even over here, most titanium spec don't even seem to have leather.

Very nice. I'm in a debacle atm, between getting a mk2 or mk3. Budget would probably only allow for a 2010ish reg. Been looking for ones on uk websites, and they are fairly poorly specc'd. I was after a titanium 2.0, with push start, 17 alloys and leather seats. The vast majority are cloth, key and 16" alloys. Yours looks really well though. Best of luck with it!

Hachiko · 03-05-2015 09:15PM

probably a uk car, I looked at titanium spec cars but could not even find sat nav. The seats are nice, good seats are paramount to any car i decide to get.

Smithzer · 04-05-2015 03:22PM

Happy at the bottom of The Healy Pass yesterday, as was his driver. Super spin.

166man · 04-05-2015 04:14PM

Finally got the car back this week so decided it was time for a thorough polish and wax etc.

Sometimes I think this car gets better with age... I might be on my own in that regard but I'm going to stick with it.

colm_mcm · 04-05-2015 04:41PM

An older car in top shape, eg your 166 can look better than when it was new. You'd expect a new car to be all shiney and dent free, but a well kept old car is out of the ordinary.

Still looking pretty sweet! I still glance at pictures of my old Cosmos blue at times. I did miss it for a while.

YbFocus · 05-05-2015 09:06AM

Up driving around the girlfriends area, awesome place!
Weather was awful yesterday but it was still a great spot for a picture!

Taylor365 · 05-05-2015 01:36PM

Going to miss her when shes gone

CianRyan · 05-05-2015 01:51PM

That is one beautiful car!

Ah Ryan, didn't know you had an Xjs! 3.6?

Anyway here's Worris after an accident with the garage wall recently. Door caught the wall, luckily, would have lose the whole side of the car otherwise

Couldn't find any decent E46 touring's in silver :pac:

Apologies for my bad photography skills. Daylight would be better!. Needs a good wash. Gave it a quick going with turtle wax shampoo. A bit of protection, have a bit of dirty work to do on it first then I'll clean it up properly.
