  1. Found it: -First, take the cap off the rear wiper and unscrew the bolt holding the wiper on. -Then hold the wiper tight at the bottom so it doesnt feel like your going to snap the wiper off, and push/pull anti clockwise, you might have to give a good tug(i know it feels like its going to snap but hold it tight ) then should just screw off. -Then open your boot and remove the inner lower plastic panel oppoisite side to where the wiper was joined( i managed to get my fingers behind the panel up near where it joins to the top plastic panel and tug it firmily all the way round un popping the plastic out) -Then you will see the wiper motor held in with 3 gold coloured nuts. disconnect the elect plug 1st, makes it a lil easier. then remove the 3 bolts and the wiper motor will come off. -To fill the hole where the wiper was, i used a 25mm rubber grommit from b&q/wickes. and it plugged straight in. perfect fit! -Next is to remove the rear squirter. -You can remove the hose linked to it from the top of the inner boot. (no need to remove any plastic) its between the join of the boot and the car. remove the 4 inch hose linked between the hose from the car and the squirter and fit is back the opposite way around. the hose has a one way mechanism so the water can only pass through one way(there is a lil arrow on it) once you placed it the opposite way round, no water can get through. -Then you need to get some thin pliers and poke them up though the hole near the squirter(from the inner side of the boot), there is a lil bolt there. squeeze the bolt and push up and the squirter should pop out the top. -Once done, i put a 20mm rubber grommit from the outerside of the car in the squirter hole and i used black silicone to secure it and prevent it from leaking. put plenty of the silicone under the grommit so it would fill the hole underneath for extra strength and to prevent water from getting in.
  2. Chris, Lots have removed the wiper and squirter. It's my next mod. There is a really precise "how to" somewhere on the site.
  3. Very good. What's your thoughts on losing the wiper etc?
  4. FYI. 3 x Blueflame. 1 x K1. K1 made me go mental so swapped after a month. Get a quote from Blueflame direct from their factory in Liverpool and haggle! £650 their price online but some of their suppliers sell it cheaper.

  5. Impossible to tell via a camera. They work completely differently to the human eye and this is made worse by the fact the car has been shot in mixed lighting and the bumper/bonnet are in different lights and different planes. See it in the flesh and you'll know.
  6. Reminds me of why I stopped doing Jack and coke and a pill after I was 40....................
  7. A gay with one arm????? How does he do jazz hands? You asked.......................
  8. After 32 years of w**king, I'm not surprised. Should of swapped hands once and a while My boyfriend's only got one arm.............
  9. After 32 years of w**king, I'm not surprised.
  10. For me, this is best. Stuck on with Velcro.
  11. 11, enjoy it lol @ 5, Yes indeed. Here's what happens if you don't listen to Uncle Captain re: 4,5 and 6 above................. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6J8hfNJeyw Don't worry agentdarkshadow...............it's not all like that.
  12. 1. Have a garage/mechanic check everything beforehand. Take some oil with you just in case. 2. Clear the car of everything including the boot mats etc (they slip around) 3. Have a chat in the pits before and find an experienced driver with a similar speed to you (bound to be an old M3) and try and follow him round for the lines/braking. 4. Don't brake or change gear when turning the wheel. 5. If you can see round a corner, it's flat out. 6. If it's dry, turn off TCS. If it's wet, don't. 7. Get an instructor to drive you round and then have him in the car on the next session. 8. Wear the lightest shoes you have or buy some racing boots. Surfing boots are cheaper still. 9. If you get sweaty palms, take gloves. 10. er..that's it.
  13. Liked that colour for a while on the Renault. Much better than the green. Bring it on!
  14. Even better.......... http://www.avforums.com/forums/tv-should-i-buy/
  15. Thanks for the detail. Just reading it makes me break out in a cold sweat so this is one for my mechanic.
  16. Sadist......... And there was me thinking it was the 2nd video with me (nearly) keeping up with the stripped-out M3
  17. Lots! Do you want the bit when I go past the R33/R34 (I dunno) GT-R with it's NSF destroyed?
