lol the Red line is a TARGET not a warning in rentals! lol

wowsers! just goes to show it can happen to the best of us! glad your back fighting fit! Liverpool - manc aint too bad its quite a distance but trains run fairly regularly from there.

why would you want new tyres in drift season ;) lol

lol Ive been doing it with my phone for AGES lol pretty nice idea just hammers the battery....completely pointless and gets pointless when you go round a corner and your phone falls off the dash lol

lol yeah usually 17 year old lads that are the case, I was in burton a few weeks back driving home from a party at 3am and a lad in a mk1 golf was revving like a tit behind at the lights, face soon dropped when I bashed the traction control button and shot off drifting round the one way system lol VROOOOOOOM lol even got a small applause at the next set of lights 3 miles up the road haha

You can do it with a phone nowadays! Androi / iPhone / Windows

welcome

me too tbh i need two new tyres on the front soon but cant afford til Jan lol

A friend has just bought a new set of wheels from VW for his golf and he paid for the upgrade on the tyres, they gave him the tyres that were on the car. So basically these tyres have been on a car...stood on a forecourt so few to no miles on the road. 4 x 225 x 40 x 18 Tyres £130 ono pickup from Stoke On Trent or will deliver for 50p per mile

Hey Guys selling for a friend....£250 brand new no marks etc Pickup only from Stoke On Trent, Can deliver for 50p per mile

my money is on air flow sensor

congrats fella

GET A GARAGE TO DO IT! Problem is you have to press the bearings out of the hub and its almost impossible to do properly without the correct tools! Any old grease monkey place can do this I wouldn't recommend BMW as it will cost at least 3 x more for the same simple ish job.

lol yeah man i'd agree with that ive got a slight man crush on Sabine lol

Hi, Welcome to the forum first things first nice ford! i love the mark ones! Get a piccy up! the CSL models seem to be quite a beast I'd love to drive one, seem to me to be a heavily modified M3, as there were around 1400 made they're as rare as rocking horse sh*t lol good luck finding one, you may want to read the article below to ave a good feel for what your letting yourself into lol The BMW M3 CSL (Coupé Sport Leichtbau was a limited edition version of the M3, with only 1,400 cars being produced for its 2004 model year run.The CSL was only available in two colours - Silver Grey Metallic and Black Sapphire Metallic. As its name suggests, an emphasis was put on reducing weight. The M3 CSL has a kerb weight of 1,385 kg (3,050 lb), 110 kg (240 lb) lighter than the regular M3. The CSL features many weight saving technologies taken from BMW's Formula One racing applications. A large proportion of the M3's sound insulation has been removed,electric seats, and navigation systems. Air conditioning and stereo systems could be retrofitted free of cost, but were not available standard. The CSL's unique body pieces are all crafted from carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Glass-reinforced plastics are used throughout structural points in the car. The rear glass window was replaced with lightweight plastic. Although the CSL loses a considerable amount of curb weight from its original version, the focus was put on strategically reducing or moving the weight in the car rather than the raw amount of weight that could be lost. This is to retain the ideal 50:50 weight distribution characteristics the E46 has. For example, the roof is constructed from carbon fiber reinforced plastic. While this only reduces the curb weight of the car by 7 kg (15 lb), it lowers the center of gravity of the car and decreases body flex. In order to improve the handling ability of the car, the entire suspension system was further refined. Specially developed racing springs and dampers are given to the CSL, and a tightened steering ratio (14.5:1 vs 15.4:1 on the regular M3) improves responsiveness. The braking system is also modified, with larger front and rear floating rotors and calipers from the E39 M5. The CSL is given a retuned dymanic stability control system with a "M track mode" setting that allows the car to be pushed to its absolute limits before being activated. The 3.2L engine used in the M3, the BMW S54, has been modified to increased output by 17 hp (13 kW) and 5 N·m (1 lbf) over the European M3. This is achieved through a high flow carbon fiber air intake, modified valve and camshaft timing, and a retuned DME. However, the engine is further modified in order to reduce weight - it features a lightweight exhaust manifold and thinner exhaust piping. Additionally, the intake and exhaust manifolds are slightly straightened to improve engine responsiveness. The CSL also has various aesthetic modifications over the standard M3. It received an aerodynamic lightweight body kit which included carbon fiber front splitters that improved downforce at high speeds by 50%, as well as a carbon fiber rear diffuser. The front bumper has a distinct hole that is used to draw cool air into the newly designed air intake. The boot floor is made of cardboard. The boot lid is redesigned to incorporate a raised lip, unlike the standard M3 where one is simply added on to a flat boot. The CSL was sold with distinct 19 inch lightweight forged BBS alloy rims that came with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup semi-slick racing tires. The interior of the CSL is redesigned with a sporty-weight saving theme. The CSL obtains fiberglass front racing bucket seats, and fiberglass backed rear seats. The center console, door panels and trim, and headliner are all formed from carbon fiber, and the steering wheel is redesigned with cruise control, stereo, and phone controls removed to include just a single button that activates the M track mode. Unlike the standard M3, which was offered with a standard 6-speed Getrag transmission, or optionally a SMG drivelogic transmission (also known as the SMG II), the CSL was offered only with the SMG II transmission. This is the standard 6-speed Getrag transmission with an electrohydraulically actuated clutch pedal, similar to an Formula One style transmission. However, the CSL received a more advanced drivelogic unit than the standard M3 that was capable of making shifts in 0.08 of a second.

oh dear oh dear oh dear =s I get mine done every 5000 miles. My old 306 used to have it done every 2000 miles......... it was done that often because it dripped out the bottom so much I just kept it topped up haha :lol:

after huge amount of prolonged use youl see a difference but a tub every now and again...waste of money i think I never saw any difference when I tried one once

good god yes!

theres a 7" wheel on the front and an 8" wheel on the back offset is the same as far as I beleive

DO IT man! I went egypt a few years back and went quad biking across the desert the MOST FUN EVER!!! love quad biking!

19's with a 45 should be fine (and much easier on the wallet when you need to change the rubber)

Oreet peeps As its that time of year anyone do anything for Halloween? Some of us went out last night in town I went as the spirit of jazz from the Mighty boosh for those who don't know, youtube linky below... was a well fun night!

factory standard ones should be easy enough to fit and click straight in, as others have said its a little tight but nothing too majorly difficult! get some pics up throughout!

much smoother drive i would say and would be much nicer to go through the rev range lol
