    Suspension failed MOT, coilovers/ return to standard.

    It is my project car/ toy and I do have a 5 Series Touring as my daily and I've got used the lowered look and quite like it. I'm not really planning on selling it anytime soon. So I could happily spend £700 on the set up when I can afford it. But the end of the day it is only worth 2-2.5k, so...

    Suspension failed MOT, coilovers/ return to standard.

    So my Zed failed the MOT big time today with the MaxPedorods coilovers falling apart and I need to replace the whole lot including drop links. These were on the car when I bought 2 years ago. So I'm debating whether to buy a better set of coilovers, if so which ones? My budget will be about...

    Setting up a correct coilovers height

    I changed mine from the 17 to 18 last summer and that made a nice difference too. Hardly any roll when cornering and only get a little trashy when going down single car width UK roads/ country lanes.

    Another Update, BMW Pedestrian Protection System

    There is a trick you can do with resistors in the plugs to said pyro packs that fools the ecu into thinking it’s all ok. You have to reset the packs by pushing the springs back down and clipping them back in. Obvs the pyro packs won’t fire again as there is no charge in it. But you won’t get...

    Chinese Grand Prix - F1 question again, sorry!

    Alonso's wife looks expensive to keep happy! But let's face it wouldn't you just drive a F1 all day for several million a year, even it was the slowest? Not to mention the fame that comes with it, how many WEC drivers get paid the same or have the same media presence for 30 years+?

    My 2025 M40 violently fishtails under hard acceleration-traction control engaged. Can run flat tires handle the torque? Any suggestions?

    Sounds like someone needs to learn to drive better by modulating their right foot.

    WANTED 17/18" Alloys

    Things only get harsh at 19's with coilovers. Ive got 18's on mine with coilovers and it's stiff but not horrible.

    F1 ruined and a spoiler alert 🔔

    But if it had stayed like that everyone would be dead. F1 is about technological advancement. At the minute the electrical thing isn’t where it should be. I think it’s more about the fuel advancement and engine tech. As Max said leave the electric side to Formula E as that their thing.

    F1 ruined and a spoiler alert 🔔

    The first few laps were good and I thought they may have found something here, but the tyres are the weak point again and are the main limit of the racing. By half distance it's kinda gone back to how it was. Max did well from last. Good to see at least one of the Cadillac's finish also the...
