    Painters in West Yorkshire

    Hi guys, I'm currently having my wheels powder-coated. I'm trying to find a painter in the West Yorkshire that can match my wheels on plastics so I can get a few bits done. Any recommendations welcome. Cheers, Pete

    New road tax flat rate. Thoughts?

    Hi all, Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the new tax rate that's coming in at the start of April. If you buy a new car after said date you'll pay it's first years tax, depending on emissions, after which it will fall to a flat rate of £140 for everyone regardless of emissions...

    Electrical/Wiring Fault?

    Morning all, This morning started out somewhat annoyingly with the car not starting! I had all my bulbs upgraded a couple of months ago. Within the last few weeks the drivers side sidelight LED bulb has been flickering. I had the installer come back and re-install a new bulb. All was well for...

    Guess who's back, back again...ah you get it

    Hi all, So I've been away a while once more. I believe last time I logged in I may well have been running a Chrysler 300C. Well that only lasted me a year and I sold it on. Since then I had a Puma for about 6-7 months and then had an MX5 for a bit which was a great little car. After much mucking...

    My Chrysler 300C CRD SRT issues

    They've now had the car back in at the dealership for about a week due to a knocking noise under the front end. So far they've replaced the droplinks, track rod ends, wishbone bushes and have checked that it's not the shockers (which it's not). They're now replacing the bottom arms and hoping...

    Focus RS Replica Wheels - Nut Problem

    Hi all, Have any of you fitted RS replicas to your ST-2's at all? I've fitted them with OE Ford nuts but they don't appear to be right. Has anyone encountered similar problems or can tell me what nuts they use? Thanks, Pete

    Focus ST & Dump Valve

    Hi all, Has anyone run a dump valve on a Focus ST 225 before? Mine's had several modifications and i recently re-installed my dump valve after getting Mod X. I don't know if it's my paranoia or that the car's just not boosting as high with it on. I'm sure I was able to get that bit higher in...

    I'm Back :D

    Hi all, After a long period away from the site i recently remembered it still existed. lol. Sorry about that. Since being away my Focus ST-2 has had somewhat of a transformation. I've added carbon wrapped bonnet, wing mirrors and light surrounds. Also a Dreamscience intercooler and RS...

    New Brum

    Hi all, Now have a Focus ST instead of the Fiesta ST as i'm sure you know from my updated gallery. :twisted: I'm booked in down at Dreamscience on Saturday and was wondering if anyone else had gone this route and what peoples thoughts were on this? Many thanks in advance, Pete :bigsmile:

    New Car

    Hi all, Just an informative one to tell all that I've finally purchased a new motor. I bought a Fiesta ST with a Mountune Stage 2 Kit on it so it's 185bhp. Loving it so far! Haven't been on for a while so looking forward to catching up with you all again. :bigsmile:

    New motor

    So, i'm thinking about trading in the old BM when i've cleared my debts in about 6 months time. I went and test drove a Seat Leon FR. ;) Does anyone else have an opinion on these cars? Does anyone own one that can give me pro's and con's of the vehicle? I'll probably end up opting for the Cupra...

    Hand brake release

    Morning all, I could do with learning how to release the hand brake on my E36 BMW at the back wheel. It seems to keep getting stuck on and therefore making the wheel squeal and the car drag a bit (obviously). I popped it into the garage and it took them literally two minutes and a...

    Hi Guys n Gals, Does anyone have an easy way to remove car badges? I need to remove the 323i from the back of my BM as it's no longer a 323i. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure there must be an easy way but I don't just want to wang a screwdriver behind it and...

    323i - 2.8 litre conversion project

    Dear all, I have just flogged my crappy little 206 GTI in favour of a BMW 323i which I instantly love. My only problem however is that it seems to take a long time to set off, it starts slow and blippy as it speeds up until it hits about 5k rpm then shoots forward, it seems to have a real...

    BMW 318i SE

    Hi all. Just thought i'd fill you in on the current situation with the Beemer. Since receiving it i've fitted a cherry bomb straight-through exhaust and binned off the humongous backbox so it's a little lighter. 18" Alpina Alloys waiting for me, just need to get pennies together for them...

    Interior Styling - BMW 318i

    I'm wondering what colour to go for, for a throughout-styling-look. The car's light blue/silver/grey, lol. The seating's purple/blue. Just trying to think of a theme to go for, hence the gear nob and surround and bag, steering wheel, calipers, seats, pedals, interior lighting etc. I was...

    CHEZ BOMB

    Hi kids. Bought a cherry bomb for my BMW as i'm not flush enough for a full custom system as yet so it's kind of a step towards it. Anyway i'd like to know the best way to fit this and/or if you or anyone you know has ever fitted one to a BMW before. I'd be exceptionally impressed to find...

    ALLOYS!!!

    It can't be that hard to find some reasonably priced alloys, or so i would have thought before i tried actually looking for some. The cheapest ones i've found that look any good (18") are £600! Which is about twice what i ideally wanted to pay! If anyone knows of any 17" or 18" 5-stud alloys...

    Bloody Alloys!

    It doesn't seem to matter where i look, all alloys cost the earth, i think it's ridiculous for something with no moving parts to cost so damn much that they're nigh on inobtainable to general folk. I looked round a few breakers on the t'internet but for 18's they were asking like £700-£900...

    Got To Get Faster.......

    Any directions of first things first to do tinkering-wise on my 318i? I want a little list i can look at in order to slowly upgrade my car and make it faster, especially at the bottom end, it just doesn't have the grunt from the start. Once you're away you're away of course and it shifts like...

    Audi A6

    A friend of mine is selling an Audi A6 2.0 Sport M Reg Automatic. The only feature that needs some urgent attention is the Gearbox as reverse has pretty much given up the ghost. Other than that a sound motor, he's only looking for £500 o.n.o too which is a good deal!
