  1. Bargain. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3179488.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:12525696170|tsid:59158|cid:200291090|lid:102046599650|nw:g|crid:42772544570|rnd:14875646317851807997|dvc:c|adp:1o1|bku:1
  2. Very minor update. I had a couple of hours free this morning so I began stripping the interior. It's all nice and chunky and easy to work with. I didnt have too long spare so i just took out the rear bench and some of the interior wall trim. I went out and bought a number of 'bit boxes' so i can keep tabs on all of the parts i take off.
  3. I was about to ask where you were?? So did you go straight to Warped? Yep we went straight there. I'm aching today from all the running around! No bruises though.
  4. Okay, first purchase made! I've just bought some 19" Porsche Cayenne wheels for it! £200 with tyres. Cayenne wheels are one of the only wheels with the correct PCD and offset. These probably wont be the final wheels it ends up on, but I wanted some legal tyres and something smaller/more maneuverable to improve drive-ability. I think they may look good painted gold though.
  5. Hey mate. I was down at the paintballing in Cosford today! Still not done anything on it yet!
  6. Cheers guys. So far all i've done is research and lots of reading, and the only thing i've bought is a steam cleaner! So the current plan is: Steam clean the engine bay. There are 3 apparent oil leaks. 2 look easy to get at but the 3rd is an engine out job. I'll need to look if i can pull the engine through the front though as i will need a big ass lift to hoist it up and out! Fix the fuel tank problems. The rubber fuel filler neck pipe and one of the breather pipes has perished, so i need to replace them. Sadly that single rubber pipe from MB is about £150, so i'll be looking for an alternative solution. It also looks like the fuel tank has had a dodgy fiberglass repair on top of it at some point which is now coming apart, so i will need to either repair this, or replace the tank. Again, a new fuel tank on one of these is £1200, so i will probably come up with a custom solution instead. Mine's the 2.8 (although i know i said 2.4 on my first post, my mistake!). It is a lot slower than i was expecting, but i think its part of the experience! On the motorway it was fine at 70mph. I would have though an engine swap would be really easy, but from the reading i've done there have been very few. People are saying that because it's such an old car with no electronics etc, fitting any kind of modern engine in it is very difficult. I find this hard to believe though as surely you would just rip everything out and replace with modern kit? Anyway, we'll see.
  7. MP1 pioneered bullet time. It was amazing. Strangely though, i never played MP2.
  8. Dude, it was p*ss awful. Dreadful controls, dull story, poor acting etc. MP1 was the pinnacle of that series. MP3 on Xbox 360 was amazing. One of the highlights of the last few years for me gaming wise. The controls were excellent - hence why they adopted that exact system for GTA V. And quite the opposite to you - this is one of the few games that i have completed that i havent traded in, so i can replay it again at some point.

  10. Ha, Jetpilot who posted above is one of the people it happened too. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88024-jdm-speedo-gone-mental/page__hl__speedo
  11. There have been a couple of people who have had this problem in the last year.... cant remember who, will see if i can find the threads.
  12. ... here's the actual footage of the crash. :-(
  13. I would give the E46 a wide berth. I've had a couple of these and both were very unreliable. Conversely, i cant speak highly enough of my E90 3-Series 320d. Absolutely lovely car and like night and day in comparison to the E46. I picked mine up for £4800 with 106k on the clock, but i've seen them cheaper.
  14. Cheers folks... It's not about waking up at 6.30am on your birthday to watch the Grand Prix with a hangover.
  15. Google DVLA dating letter, there are a few sites which appear to offer this service. It's not something i've ever heard of to be honest.
  16. To be fair i'm surprised none of them have martyred themselves by trying to contract ebola and travel to the western worlds capital cities.
  17. Vettell to leave redbull. http://www.theguardi...bull-end-season
  18. :clap: Brilliant, that's me! What a long day... set off at 7.30am with my brother, got down there for 12pm, was back on the road at 1pm and have just got home 30mins ago, at 7.15pm. I'll save my writeup for later tonight/tomorrow as i've got a migraine at the moment (maybe from the smell of the car on the way home ), but all i can say right now is that it drives really well, but it is frickin enormous!! I didnt realise they were as big as they are - i reckon it rivals my RRS in size. ...i'm feeling i may have bitten off more than i can chew. Leon - Joelle mentioned you stopped by. Sorry i wasnt home yet. I should be about all weekend though if you want to pop round again (best before 3pm on Sat though as i've got my family round for my birthday in the evening). I could definitely use your advise on a project plan...!!
  19. I prefer the SWB shape, I just couldnt find any pictures of one in that colour.
