How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

rev counter is still only reading for a 6 cylinder, so goes slightly mental!

Wheels are Rota Grids, 17 x 8 fronts and 17 x 9 rears, pcd is 5 x 120 so genuine bmw fitment too, running 25mm spacers front (to acheive the lock) and 15mm rears

Where did you get them from?!

4 pot plug with a 50% reducer? I think a suitable resistor can work..

Long old way, only just over an hour trip for me, well worth it though if you've not drifted there before.
Mines quite basic really....standard m30 engine, fk coilovers up front, faulkner springs rear, lock spacers.

Here's a pic, look out for me at teesside, ill have to try and tag a passenger ride in yours after licensing if the seats free!
