Lol... He'll probably keep it. Had very close to 9k, 3 years ago when looking to sell (when I advertised it here) He has 3 other cars, and this one is always at the back of the garage. He's just had a hip replacement (he's 72) and hasn't driven it for so long, because he finds it uncomfortable. I th...

LEX77

Well he still has it. Covered 6 miles in the last 3 years. To and from MOT centre. He's a bit unsure whether or not to sell it, as he doesn't really need the money. Starts it once a week and let's the engine run for about 20 mins or so. driven back and forth (double length garage) and all seems to b...

LEX77

Well, I've had this up for sale for a while now.... and feel a bit torn. Had hours of endless fun in this, even more so than the M3. I do think the E46 is a better car as an all rounder, but it doesn't make me smile. The Zed still does. Bought the M and thought i could recoup some of the costs with ...

LEX77

My lights are the same as yours....but did a "Yalden" on it, and put some red film over the white sections. I think it looks cleaner this way.

Charlie did me a deal £500.00 for the pair. Fitted. Car was there from 9am until 3.30pm.

Looking at an Evolve remap. Would love any feedback from anyone that has used Evolve.

In Pro-speed Cardiff sitting and waiting patiently. Back box looks great.

The OEM air box has bit the...

One question: does everyone stick to the speed limits in Wales? Noticed everyone violently slammed anchors on when they hit a 30 sign.[/quote]

There was a sign next to it saying "Free bacon rolls next left"

LEX77

Well, spoke to Charlie again this morning. He's gonna sort me out with some cold air feed + cone induction with carbon shield type thingy along with the exhaust.

Who knows????

Hope it don't break the bank

LEX77

She's going into Charlie at Prospeed on this week for an exhaust. So with the back end sorted with a big growl... I want somthin up front also.

Any recomendations or suggestions???

LEX77

No.

It should tho. Would be a good'un methinks.

Just never got my arse in gear.

Anyone want to sort it, feel free to do so.
