    One small update... well, it's kinda big for me. Wasn't totally sure about the BBS wheels, which I think are more suited to the coupés... so I stumbled across some utterly lovely Style 32s on here (

    Well, after a lot of ballache my car finally has an M50 intake manifold. Never doing that again in a hurry. Or ever! Difference in port sizes- holy COW! About 40% larger on the M50! I know what

    Right, finally, some good progress. Spent a lot of time ripping apart various parts of the car the last couple of weeks, and I'm pleased to say that Claudia has even more of a bite to match her bark.

How many sets of wheels has this car had now?

 

Actually, this is theoretically the second set of wheels I ever bought for the car, just refurbed. ;) they're the BBSs that used to be black.

 

I think I like them more now.

 

EDIT: in answer to your question, 7 sets...  :think:

7 sets.. Sheesh, I'm not a wheel person really, I'm happy with steelies.

i spy rust!!!!!!!!!

 

Once the engine is done, the cosmetics will be sorted.

 

I'll give you a clue- full respray, with a contrasting engine bay...

 

That'll be slightly more long term though!!

Looking good ;)

Terkin- another stalker  :sweat::giggle: I had lots of messages from various people asking where I was..!

lol hey i know that car i thought over i went :angel: looks very clean not a fan of the wheels tbh. :bandit:

 

also had a look at your exhaust,tips are different from what i had back box more or less the same,so might explain sound difference :giggle:

  • Author

The wheels are a Marmite thing. Luckily I really like them.  :love:

 

The exhaust is massive, it has a 3" downpipe from the manifolds... did you hear it moving? How come you were there??

good good. wont be long till you change them though going by past performance :angel:

 

sounds like the same one tbh. 2" twin pipes all the way with 2, 3" single sections iirc. nah i didnt and you were no where so couldnt ask :rofl:

 

i always go lol was on the yaris clubstand in my cousins white s13,dunno if you saw had the headlights popped up

Still no V8 in the Beemer though!

Terk- the BBSs are here to stay!! 

 

Yeah that sounds about right. It's feckin' loud and sounds awesome all across the rev range- no droning anywhere!

 

If you're there next year, come and find me... I reckon I'll be on the stand again, ended up getting plenty of attention. :D

 

Si- working on it, eventually! For now I'm going to max out the 2.8, you know it's hardly slow..!  :bandit:

oh maaaannnnnn

 

hmmmm we will have to compare,i think once you hear mine you might change your mind

 

yea i shuld be. what was that stand anyway? i want in :giggle: :giggle:

  • Author

We had loads of Hondas lol, 4 Accords, a few EP Civics, a few EJ/EK Civics, one of the newer ones... I think we had about 15+ cars on it!

Yes. That's definitely mine.  :p

 

The Alpina B8 makes a return... got to drive it this time. It's rather mad... as you'd expect a 1400kg, 333bhp, 4.6 V8 estate car to be.

I broke some stuff, and replaced it.

I'd burst both engine mounts, smashed a bracket... nicely done. No idea how. Easy fix though!

The convertible E36 belongs to one of my best mates. Fitted his M50 manifold that day, and those are my old grey Vaders in his car. Laaaaavly.
