Id also like to add my vote for sal aka M5 pilot. In the group buy I had ordered and paid for a btb 6 branch but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel the order. Sal then made a full repayment to me promptly so id recommend him to anyone!

There are at least 10 sports now for sale in the northern ireland autotrader now every week. they are getting popular as people dont want the usual rear wheel drive cars when going to cruises. SOme will have been given death at crossroads and quiet areas and they will deffo have lived sideways getti...

I had a welded diff in an old siera that i used for doughnuts and drifting. A brand new set of 15" remoulds lasted me exactly 15 minutes.

Buy a Ãƒ”šÃ‚£50 sierra special and do it to that. Preferably the 2.0 twin cam engine as its got the grunt. Thats what all the drifters are doing over here at the minute. Its lots of fun and if anything breaks are you really worried about an old sierra? Imagine things going pete tong in your pride an...

I want that :cry: :cry: lookin good dude-should keep the 2.7 breathing just lovely :cool: There is now an extra one available and its on the shelf ready for dispatch all m5pilot needs is the money as I had to sell my sport so no longer require the 6 branch I ordered and paid for. Try him and he cou...

Well ive welded a few diffs in old sierras and I basically done what Turbo brown said however it was the crown and pinion we welded together (i think) when we opened the diff there was the little wheel in the midle and the 2 larger wheels that this meshed onto. SO we filled this with weld both sides...

I had to sell my sport so no nice shiny btb 6 branch for me! Hope you enjoy yours jimbob and get up some sound clips so we can all hear what its like!

Listen its like this scorpion starts on idle, nice burble then you get a lovely deep throaty noise when you are accelerating under load. You then hit the 4000rpm mark and it turns into a banshee screeching for the innocent victim that you have reached for before you hit the beautiful rpm limiter whe...

Use castrol B 373. Its for racing use and if its good enough for racing its good enough for me. I have it in my diff and it works better than the crude that came out of it. Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5 per litre. Nuff said.

I noticed this as well in my motor. If you look around the rear of the headlights you should see the pipes running out the washer jets for the headlights. (presuming you have these fitted) Mine where leaking here and the water was gushing into the bulkhead from the white plastic valves I presumed. I...

Im going to have to consult a body expert just to find out exactly what I need! This classic car business is a lot more difficult than I had anticipated!!!

Honda s2000 is the most power naturally aspirated 2.0 litre engine you can buy. Revs to around 9000rpm and I think it has around 225 bhp. Yes its rapid and Id love a spin in one!

Send an email to here asking about liquid leather. A girl called charmaine will reply and then you just send her a paypal payment for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£12.20 and she will post you the cleaner and conditioner. Its amazing stuff and really helps leather. My black leather is now looking and smelling amazing! Emai...

Hmmm the outer arches are perfect its just the inner arches that are the problem just trying to get an idea of what to look for if I was going to undertake this job or else if i should just cut my losses and run a mile! Must do some internet searching!!!

Do these exist for an '89 2 door E30?? If so are they full inner arches that will fill the complete inside of the wheel arch both front and rear??? Are they hard to come by and is it really difficult fitting them?

Well ive now reached the dizzy heights of 25. Thought it about time I got a nice motor before the mortgage took all my money. Starting to build my house in next 2 months so hopefully Il be able to keep the sport!

If you check out the group buys section you will see a thread on group discount for a BTB racing 6 branch manifold. M5pilot is buying an extra one to get the deal so im sure he will sell it to you. THe BTB retails at around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£750 but we are getting them for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£375 plus postage. It should re...

Classic insurance is cheaper but you must have a second car to drive as your daily motor as clasic insurance limits the amount of miles you can do in a year. Its also only available to people who are over 25. Well thats the way it is in northern ireland as thats the way I run my 325i.

Yeah there is a 1987 c2 alpina for sale on really mean sounds. Its in the cars for sale section under something really really different. Hes looking Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5k for it though and yeah its a four door. Doesnt do much for me either!

This seems to be a common problem at the minute with several members including myself experiencing the problem with the rev counter, cig lighter and interior lights. The cig lighter fuse is number 28 sio check it. As for the rev counter and interior lights etc, its fuse 21 and must keep blowing due ...

Right well it turned out to be fuse 21 which controls various functions. It was a 7.5 amp fuse which I replaced and it promptly blew. Then stuck in a 10amp fuse which blew as well. I also tried 15amp which solved everything for a while until................... it blew. So ive now got a 25amp fuse in...

Awww blackcabrio I know the feeling. I got the small dent out of the drivers wing and the key scratches out of the paint all over and she was looking sweet and now this happens. I hope its only a fuse but wont get to find out till tomorrow as Im stuck at work for the night. Let me know how you got o...

Yeah it looks good although I think the boot lid looks a little bare without the spoiler????

Ok guys this will hopefully be solved by some of you experts. Anyway my car was away getting resprayed there and just got it back. However there are some faults now as in the radio wontturn on, the on board computer beside the radio isnt working, the rev counter isnt working and the fuel consumption...

Its possible the needle is simply put back on in the wrng slots. If your car is idling then check where the needle sits. This will give you an indication. Then just take of the plastic face panel, pull off the needle, twist it round a bit then stick it back on and try the car again. Trial and error ...

Ive got a toad Ai 606 as well. Great alarm and everything is remote however its a bugger if you wanna leave the sun roof tilted up as the alarm goes off after a few mins as its got a safety feature for windows and roof. If you can get it off ebay for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£120 or so then not a bad price as ive a re...

Hmmm im thinking that the bloke who put the indiglo M tech dials in my dash made a piss poor job of sticking the tachometer needle back on in the right place as it appears to idle at 1200rpm and the red line is off the clock at around 7100rpm???? Im thinking that this isnt right then??? Cheers dave ...

If your engine has been chipped???? Apparently the 325 sport I bought has bb throttle body and a chip but I was wondering if there is any easy way of telling this by the way the car revs or idles??? Or is it fairly easy to find out where the chips sits and get a look at it???? P.S sorry for sounding...

Ive got a scorpion stainless steel system on my car. Sounds the dogs dangley bits at idle and when the car is pulling hard there is a nice note out of her then a real good snort when hitting around the 4500rpm. Its gives a fairly good rasp I feel and people turn round when they hear you burbling dow...

Definitely go for mig welding. You can hire them out although you need to be shown first. There is so much to think about such as strength of the welder and also the wire speed, the gas and the thickness of the metal. I used to weld for a living so I think its easy but then again I had watched for m...

I liked this little bit of the article and its sooo true!!!!!! 'Although it is still seen as a capable BMW Sports model in most of Europe, the 325i Sport has now gained a cult following in Northern and Southern Ireland. Like the RWD Toyota Corolla GT Coupe before it, the 325 is now more famous for b...

Right oh folks im sure that a lot of you will laugh at this but I would like some advice on the best oil to replace the stuff in my LSD. My sport was having good fun kicking the tail out for a few weeks there but now when I go to throw her into a drift she goes part way out then the inside wheel sta...

Yeah I bought the sport is strabane. Its a clean one alright although just the usual teething problems but I should be getting it resprayed now shortly. Yeah I was just commenting on the ridiculous prices some people are looking for the cars now. Yes it is going the same way as the corolla coupes we...

Yeah the prices are mad. I saw a 325 sport advertised in autotrader the same week as I ought mine and the guy was advertising the car as Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7250. Wouldnt have minded seeing it just to see what passes as mint these days lol!!!! Anyway yes there are a lot of mint cars over here and yes they are us...

Well its started happening. When people realise that you can have fun in a car in northern ireland the prices suddenly rocket. Grand if you have a good clean car but terrible if you are an enthusiast and cant afford it now saying some boy racer has priced you out of it. Perfect example now was today...
