  1. Well it doesnt fit the 370z. The 2 fitments that are close have proper full threads and dont work
  2. They are great bits of kit. If the 370 reservoir is the same thread I'll go and check mine for you brb

    I think when your modding german you need to get out of JDM mode. CSL ducktails are always a winner on an e46

    Great cars. Just sold mine to my brother when i bought my 370z. The SMG is great I originally looked for a manual but got swayed by the SMG. Super fast gear changes, Thats where it has the upper hand over the 370z as we discovered. The exhaust rasp is like marmite love it or hate. I love it but it kinda sounds like a bag of broken spanners. Mine averaged 21 to 24 mpg so much better than the 370z Well ballanced good handling cars. I had mine for 5 years and it was time for a change. Bad points with them are where the subframe fixes to the shell cracks. There are kits to reinforce the area but you would be looking as the best part of a grand to have the work carried out. To be honest i ran coilovers on mine for 4 years and when i got the subframes inspected prior to selling it all was fine. They go through rear srpings and trailing arm bushes alot. servicing can be a little dear but if you find a good indi specialist you'll be laughing. I loved my one but the front of the sils and one of the rear quarters was beginning to break out in rust. The rear Quarters have a good lip that dirt can sit in. I cleaned there fairly often but the tin worm still won in the end. Any other quetions feel free to give me a shout. I've been heavy bmw forum user and run a local bmw forum for a good while now.. I never had an issue with the smg pump. To be honest i think it was more of an issue with SMG 1 (e36) than SMG 2 (e46). There is a relay that goes which will cost you £14 to replace I have heard of folk having issues with coils. A set of front disk will cost you just over £300 for ATE's if you shop around. They are huge drilled and vented jobs. The standard brakes are fairly cr4p though. I stuck on some braided hoses, grippier pads and some 5.1 fluid which made all the difference.
  5. never heard of people running these on n/a cars?
  6. If i am home for this i might have a drive down
  7. my mum has run a 2004 cooper s since new and she has had to replace the water pump and the steering rack. pretty sure her car still only has 40k miles... Apart from that she has had no real issues

    i am sure your car is better looking than my face sorted
  12. looks good that, nice kit there as well
  13. yeah not a fan of the look of the car.
  14. yeah lucky it wasnt more. There is an online petition to get the pumas replaced http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/calling-on-the-operator-employers-and-industrys/
  15. Yeah and with the past events they have upped the amount of inspections that need to be performed. With the lack of choppers due to the ec225's being grounded the other have been putting in more flying hours to compensate. The things are always going technical I am sure there will be a few folk giving it up after this one. One things for sure Eurocopter will be finished
  16. yeah we all know the risks but this has happened too much in the last 4/5 years. I am definatly more relaxed on a s92 but your right none are fool proof. I am always glad to get off the things. I think i am going to need some valum from the medic for flying home this time lol I feel for the fam of the guys lost. I hear they have called off the search.
  17. Yeah gutted its happened again. Its time they got rid of the ec225's and mk2's. I have no confidence in them anymore... Quite happly get a boat home
  18. thanks for the reply. I am not going much smaller 520mm is standard and i am going for 406mm. 7cm off each side. I have a 6 digit plate so its just get rid of the excess space. the height and font will be standard though
  19. Quick question, When you remove the front plate holer does it leave and visible holes in the bumper ? I have not picked my car up yet but i am in the process of ordering new plates for it. I would like to redude the sized of the plate. The front holder would look silly with a little plate in it. Anyone know? cheers
  20. That looks really good. Dipping is the future, puts wrapping to shame. Ive been watching diy videos of this on youtube. They make it look simples
  21. Do you guys sell the Varrstoens apex wheels?
  22. Do you have a price for the spacered delivered? Going to be needing an exhaust soon as well. Ive not picked the car up yet but the modding plans have started
  23. That looks perfect. I think spacers could be my first mod
