Pretty much. Braced for a turn and your car is like nope, but now. Depending on the speed obviously.

It's just because I'm still getting used to the car really. Wet weather and snow/ice it will be on unless I fancy a play.

First time I've ever slid a car and Thursday at 2am in a empty carpark no curbs or potholes seems like a good as place to test it. I booted it into work today with the ASC off and got sideways. But screw ever driving casually about without asc. I'd rather be sure it's going to behave and not have that constant worry. Going to a drift day in buxton tomorrow as a passenger, will record some video's.

Turned the traction control off in a nice damp tescos car park last night gave it some boot in second got a drift on cacked myself so clutch in and steer back. It was the most pathetic drift attempt ever. But I couldn't stop smiling all the way home. I think more attempts at drifting are coming soon!

Wowowowowo Jardos gay3 is the best car ever. In the universe, just look at that generic wheel cleaner that's been branded and the price boosted by well over 1000% work it's magic. Ha, nah. I made a video ripping into Carbon automotive wheel sealant and some wench and her bf attempted to argue with me over instagram. I would link the video but not sure if you can with instagram?

Needs advice on the e36. Has anyone ever fitted the m50 manifold to the 2.8? Or know anyone who has. I got a manifold with the car but literally have no idea on what to do. Also could anyone recommend any good upgrades to the engine I could do to get max power for less than a m3 engine. Much love.

Right need To get these sorted before winter arrives, can anyone one recommend a good set of winter tyres for my BMW, (16") got a spare complete set of alloys with The car so may aswell do the right thing and get some decent rubber.
-
Fixed my rocker cover gasket today. It was perished to say the least, instead of rubber it decided to turn into brittle plastic. For 180000+ miles On it, there was no yellow gunge which was a nice surprise!
-
If the rx8 has still got its handbrake. Find out how much the lever is for me please and I'll give you funds for it!
-
Eurgh my rocker cover gasket has decided to split. Oil now drips straight onto the nice hot manifold. Also the wire that plugs into to asc throttlebody comes off when you put your foot down. Leaving the asc forced On as default. Might try to bend the clips to hold it tight, or cut the cable and spade clip it on. Here is what I mean.

Not really. The post was intended as banter, in which the reply from jardo was everything I listed. Harmless. That red BMW made me do an excited wee, the thing looks so mean!
-
But your car isn't fast so this statement is invalid. Wait for the reply about rteck, prawn, bmw, Audi, turbo, paint and cleaning your car.

Only ecodriving it as I had £20 in the tank. haven't drove it properly since. So long as there is enough fuel it gets some. I believe eco driving to save the planet is pointless. We all like hotter weather. Amiright?

I thought the CD changer went in the glovebox on e36's? What's the best headlights you can get for these and what's pepperamis thoughts on aftermarket angle eyes?
-
Forgot to show the lights I ment but today when fitting the rear m3 lights, I came across this cable. Does anyone know what's missing?
-
Dyno figures show 188whp . I'll get a picture of what I.mean tomorrow. Maybe a video.

it grips and will not spin the wheels.

I reckon I could of got about 1300 for it if I waited until the end of the show season, an although the mk3 was a complete babe for me, It just struck me as pointless, the vw scene is now same car different rims or paint, and throw thousands at plush to do something that's only worth a Grand. It'll live on, but it's now hit its limit to what can be done. In regards to the BMW, if my Abs light is on, does that mean I can't turn my traction control off (I have both the abs light On and the warning sign with the arrow going around it on.)

Right ain't been on for a good ol while, so I'll post an update to what's happening. Got wheels for ye olde mk3 golf: Got bored of the golf, and the vw scene in general so had it posted up for sale 1k with the wheels or 700 without on all dubs classifieds. To my astonishment, I had about 50 emails regarding buying it or swapping in total. After scouring through the crap. Thought this would be my best option: The BMW e36 2.8 After a day: Wheels won't be staying, but my mate had some spare paint down.at his body shop. I've had a few ideas on wheels but will have to wait until payday. It came with an m50 manifold and a few spare wheels, not bad condition, just needs a service, lollipop joints and a new wing. Not a bad car I think.

Haven't been on for a while so some mk3 golf estate updatings: Mate bought a mk4 drove to see a mate pull out his mk1 after 7 years of dry storage Got pissed off with the height So bought everything possible to unseize them nothing i bought helped so hunted my mates shed and voila First wound all the way down photo New splitter for fake lows Need so sort my rear drums out asap as there squealing like twats on release of the brake, i believe it is the release spring so brake cleaner and copper grease? Bought mk4 recaro seats for piss cheap and in ace condition just waiting for my mate to be free to weld and cut them Bought a perfect condition VR6 seering wheel for just £20 today! best breakers i have ever been to, no scene tax and the guy knows his shit, if anyone is interested i cannot recommend him enough! the place is heaven. Wheels are coming on in the next 2 weeks, BBS RMs (16x 8.5j/9.5j) genuine reps :wink2: Paint job which will remain quiet about for the time being will be happening soon, had a quote edited to mates rates, bought my first litre from TL Derby Volkswagen today VR6 2.9 or a .8 will be happening, just not yet.
