I thought CUP models just had 'air con' where the FF has 'climate control' i.e. dial a temp? Rich

I ran Koni FSD dampers on my Alpina B3S and I agree.. awesome dampers! Rich

I'm off to the Ring at the end of July following an Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo... something tells me I'll be seeing similar speeds! :o Rich

^^ lol hopefully I'm not *that* bad when I go over next month!

What year is your car? Mine is a 'euro5' spec engine - maybe they tightened the fuelling up to get through the new regs? Rich

Nice work Ado, I did much the same.. boring as hell though! This was with mixed driving going to and back, school runs etc. Trip computer said 31.9mpg, but calculated it was just over 35mpg. Put 52L of fuel in it.. so there was a few more miles in the thing, but I didn't have spare fuel on me...

Sideways Danny... ex SXOC member by any chance? Glad you have your own place and are doing quality work! Rich aka Richy_Boy from SXOC

I would have thought a 12" sub would be a bit big for a little clio. What music do you like? I had a box custom made once with a 12" sub in a band-pass design - I was into jungle back then, so it was all about getting low... and boy did it. With a large sub like that, depending on how its...

ah yes, sorry typo. Normally Eibach switch to the other design once they get to a certain thickness. Like this: Rich

Yeah probably a brake pad thing. I test drove a Lotus Elise a while back and that had Brembo pads - that also squealed until they were warm. Rich

Mines been difficult doing into 2nd since I bought the car (in March) and I was waiting for it to clear as everything beds in. It's still there and feels like a syncromesh problem, but it's hard to say whether it's my lazy clutch leg or not! Rich

They are both lumps of aluminium CNC machined to a thickness. Buy whatever i cheapest as long as it's hubcentric.

Wheel spacers of one of the biggest rip-offs going.. you could machine one with a CNC machine for £3, but they sell them for £70 or something daft. I was speaking with a friend here at work, who just happens to co-own a CNC plant in India... he said if I can get a spacer he can...

Yeah, it's interesting.. but once you've seen it, it's a bit pointless lol The worst thing about it is that if you switch to another display screen all the G data is lost i.e. on a track day you have to keep the screen on all the time - rather than jump between lap times/oil temps etc. I'm...

^ I disagree.. groove and/or dimpled discs are pointless on anything other than a dedicated track car. I knew someone who used to enter Time Attack competitions with (bigger) plain discs - never had any problems. It's all about the pad material and what tempreture range it's designed to work...

It's a little gimmick that's an option on the 200. Can how oil temps, optimum gear to be in, G graphs, 0-60/qtr mile timer and lap timer etc. I have it on my car and only put it on when my sons in the car as he likes to watch the G graph when we go around corners lol (he's 6!) Rich

err no, your Sister f&*ked you over by driving like idiot. Rich

Lovely car.. just what I bought :D Get a few pictures in the sunlight and you'll see how awesome Albi can be! i.e. Rich

^ Yeah, I'm sure if you explained to the buyer that there IS finiance but it will be cleared when the car is sold they'll understand. It's only when there's finance that's not declared during a sale that there's a problem... (to me anyway). Maybe get a short term private loan from the bank to...

So.. you took out the insurance on your Mums car and added your Sister as a names driver? I'm assuming your Mum didn't have any insurance on it then? The insurance company will shaft you no doubt. They'll find a reason, even if you were out of the Country. My mate had 3 non-fault accidents in 4...
