Well driven mate, enjoyed that! Car and driver going well [emoji119] Lovely smooth steering and consistent steering wheel angles, impressive [emoji108] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picking this thread up rather than starting a new one, is there a speedo gear swap or electronic correction that can be used to correct the speedo with a 4.7?

Gave the Clio a wash on Monday, couldn’t have it feeling left out with all the attention on the new arrival. I’ll be making a more thorough vid with first impressions on the M4, but very briefly it’s surprised me a bit with its performance. I’m used to driving what I consider to be pretty...

What a top bunch you are, cheers, I’m just so excited about it! And not one post calling me a finance-wanker!! [emoji23][emoji119] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After an insurance nightmare on Tues/Weds/Thurs I finally picked the beast up yesterday afternoon. The insurance problem kinda took the shine off the anticipation but ever since the car was ours I’ve been like a kid at Christmas! I’m so excited about it! :smile::grimacing::grin: I went and took...

I certainly wouldn’t but many, many do. For me you’re spot on in that they BMW know what they’re doing, especially given the praise the CP has received over the original car. I simply couldn’t afford to track this, insurance and consumables would be prohibitively expensive to me.

[emoji23][emoji24] there will be noooooooo mods!! I’ll turn the wheel in pics so it’s not as pronounced!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting super, super excited!! Chances of sleep tonight are slim and I’ve got to get through the working day tomorrow as well! :tearsofjoy:

Thanks chaps, it’s a nice solid car that isn’t full of rust, but far from a minter. But that’s why it was affordable! There’s lots to do to make it nice throughout but it looks perfectly presentable as it is. The engine bay is a real mess so will be the first area for TLC!! :thumb:

It was a beautiful day here yesterday so I got the CRX out and gave it a reasonable exterior clean and started cleaning up the engine bay. We then went to a local airfield and behaved like hoodlems... I can confirm that it definitely doesn’t have an LSD! :tearsofjoy: (Excuse the horrible...

I had the MX2000 out at Blyton last weekend, second track shakedown since the charger went on. Last time out we struggled with a slipping clutch, fuel surge and poor brake feel. Since then it’s had a new clutch, plenty of bedding in miles, a small modification to the fuel return and some...

It will be thoroughly, well and truly appreciated! :blush:

W We all love filthy car porn after all!! :tearsofjoy: As far as reviews go the Competition Pack seems to have won plenty of accolades, it’s not considered a cult classic like some of the previous M cars, but Evo have it as their current favourite Coupe beating out the likes of the 911 GTS in...

Didn’t take too long with some outside input, Johnny nailed it for me so thanks mate. Feel like I’ve got a solution that I’m happy with now! M4 has been ordered, shared MX5 goes, Z4 and CLIO STAYS. Chuffed with that. ALSO REALLY FREAKIN EXCITED! :excited:

Thanks for the input mate, I wouldn’t argue with the sentiment on feel compared with the older stuff, though they do come alive a bit more once you turn down or switch off the driver aids. The Z4 was fundamentally a stop gap for us whilst we sorted out the house purchase, removing any monthly...

That’s a bloody sensible suggestion Johnny and would make a fine selection of cars. :good: I just don’t think I could let the MX2000 go... it’s the car I feel most attached to and as good as the Clio is, it really can’t replace a 350bhp/tonne rear wheel drive track car. Not to mention I’ve...

Given the track cars I’ve got and need for two road cars in the household I’d be more inclined to think about practicality and comfort. Ideal for me would be new Hyundai hot hatch, I love the idea of one but they’re too much money. Given Dan (brother) can get me used BMWs at cost something like...

For all the right reasons I’m running into a bit of a predicament, it’s one hell of a fortunate position to be in but I’m at a loss working out what to do... Forgive me if this sounds like willy-waving, it’s not intended that way at all. I’ve been talking to my brother and best mate about this...

Thanks mate, yes the wiring does need extending, Giacomo sends some wires with connectors in the kit. :thumb:
