job done more than happy

We want... ...a shrubbery.

Yep, it might beat you away from the lights but you'll catch it quick enough as the driver stops to look for a powerpoint.

I've not really had much to update on the MB3. It's still being my reliable (to a degree) workhorse, helping me keep people safe from evil extension cables. I've ordered some stickers for it to hopefully finish the rear window. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251387070453?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250870727727?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250820114346?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 I'll get pictures once they're all on. Should look sweet.

I took a couple more photos last night. The ITR air box in it's current placement. The rocker cover is just an embarrassment but further down the to-do list right now. My windscreen sealing As long as it stays dry now I can clean up that damp stain with upholstery cleaner. Nice clean plates and beading

And we're in! what an effort but i have moved in! the van was so handy despite being a reno traffic. The garage shed extension is actually bigger than i remember but bad news theres damp everywhere! all the main beams i can see are soaked, once i rip the total DIY bodgy cealing he put in there i can see the damage but i rekon its the roof nails. Using the pieces of chip board from the old wardrobe i will make a bench with draws. Getting there now, i dont think ill find the time to do my wheels this week lol.

I might be interested in the 15's... Good excuse to do an hub conversion and bigger brakes upgrade...

Yes, European launch probably spring next year, this is a concept though so it probably won't look exactly like that, arches added rather than part of the bodywork, 19" rims with 20" as an option, I like this quote though;

My arches have been cut out and replaced. Inner arch too. £400. They are perfect no rust yet. I even looked inside recently and still good as gold

Shame to hear that. I think I'll be trying out lots of different things on the MB3 in the coming months. Go a bit wild.

yes yes and a hammer Top Gear Quote "such a pikey tool" LOL but yes you do need one of those as well...

Should be the same price as any other paint made up from code. Try here: http://www.paints4u.com/

£20 annually. Or there are 3 and 6 month options.

x2 on the CV joint, full lock it in a car park or open space and if it's that you'll usually hear a clicking as you move forward/backwards! Lock it both ways to check both sides!

I've not long gotten an iBone, that would be cool until you get a dirty text up on the screen while taking your gran somewhere!

Good song!

Sounds good except for the fact the rears are already too low so if he cuts a coil off the front tyres are going to lose contact with the road, Maybe one off the front.

Even the bubble wrap was entertaining

Was one of the first things I noticed about the t1r's

Ooh mate love the new rims. I enquired about those tuning boxes for my mazda. There just a resistor.. but apparently they do work just can cause a lot of sooty smoke from the exhaust. Seems good for the money

Yes but it's only the boots, if they've split and caused the cv joint to wear prematurely then you'll have a case, if not then it's like I said, grit that got in when they were split and they won't entertain that.

Don't get disheartened, it's just wear and tear, you have to expect stuff like that when they get to this age and a garage should be able to diagnose it for you. And it could be worse, imagine if you'd bought a sh1tron.

Bargain!

I'm looking into HID's now, hopefully get some soon so I can actually see on unlit roads but it's interesting to see the difference in colour between the fogs and headlamps. Nice looking MB4 you have.

Having said that a friends ej9 was done and they lasted about 6 months and started going. Cheap crap job I reckon.

A sledgehammer is ever so satisfying though.

My older brother came over late afternoon yesterday looking for the sledge hammer, when I asked him why all I got back was "Its for a Peugeot!", to which I replied with "Wouldn't it just be easier to fix it with fire?"

Poor Becca.. Re stickers mate sohc vtec is such a must mate and i seen the MB Squad ones about but i not seen the third one will be different which is a win from me.....

I dibsy first on that LOL I hope not, (comma) could make things very confusing here if it is..... Suits me i'm left handed

Basically yes. The 98 spec one is s/steel and is reported to give excellent results often much better than aftermarket manifolds. The 96 spec is cast, the same as ours but is also apparently better but nowhere near as sought after or expensive. They both have larger collectors though so you will need a decat or sports cat.

I had one of those on Becca!

Business idea; van with a generator in the back, could make a fortune.

Could be worth sending 10000rpm on here a PM, he breaks cars for parts so may be able to help!

Hopefully I'll be able to add to the wonderfulness. I want to try to get as much done before Japfest, since I'll be on the Civic5 stand.

Yeah the earlier you catch it the less work you'll need doing so should cost you less, if you just have a bubble they may just sand it back and paint it!

Pull up to the lights, *thump thump thump*, go to pull off and it fades away to make power to move

Wats the point i have ICE in an electric car you would be forever turning it off to increase the range lol electric os a fad to make celebs feel gr8 about living in a big house n earning lots of money even bio diesel fuels are a better option im gona run my drift car on bio ethanol lol should be fun

That would be a great plan mate, PM'd! Collection only?

Have you ran out of cash yet? I still want first dibs on your 16s

Has to be to the left though

Shoulda done before and after shots from same angle! Get a proper sense of 'lowness' then (lowness, another word i can add to the dictionary?? Lol )

Good man, pass it on then.

I'm not having a go mate, honestly. Just think it's all a massive con. And I bet that BMW set them back what, £25k plus??The solar panels however, yeah I get that idea and in their case it's a win win for them for sure. Can totally understand their decision. You say the BMW plant is powered by wind, you mean the oxford plant? That's all well n good, but the panel production plant in Swindon isn't lol. And the lorries that drive the parts too n fro ... I'd love to know if BMW and other electric cars makers, have produced a detailed analysis of how much 'bad' energy is used in the production and manufacturing and how long the electric car would have to run compared to an internal combustion engined car to make a difference. Oh and an important part I forgot, what about all the line workers farting all day while working!? I was one of them (in both honda & BMW) that's enough methane to make a rugby pitch size hole in the ozone every shift! Ha

Cheers dude! I'm just impressed I managed to do it on my own! Trying to arrange fetching the other set of wheels I want! Then that's the "winter" and "show" sets bought and I can then sell the 15's! Both sets will be getting colour changes but the "show" set are in a good way and can go straight on as they are to help me out!

Ouch, must've cut short your porn star career!!

What are we talking about here?
