It's not the size that counts it's how you use it.

Got her out of the Garage after 3 weeks of rain and drove up to Bodmin Moor for a walk. How quickly you forget what a big smile a Zed puts on your face when you nail the throttle down to the carpet for a few gears down a twisting Cornish lane. 
Then Washed and tucked up again. 8)

I was at Mike's having my roof done when Paul (izzyspi) arrived for his exhaust mod. My roof fixed I headed off and stopped at a service station. Gone going again, roof down
and Paul. Izzyspi appears behind me, comes past as gives a bit of throttle, the exhaust sounds the nuts! Really nice burble/rasp but not offensive. I don't mod my cars, just not my thing ( think old fart), but perhaps.....................

I'll be interested to hear your views after giving them a good test.....maybe after the euro trip......and a link to where you ordered from if possible.I've got the 3.0 SE which sits that wee bit higher again.
Cheers
You will be very welcome Rob. Be aware though that it's raining aging this morning. :lol:Smartbear said:buzyg said:Got her out of the Garage after 3 weeks of rain and drove up to Bodmin Moor for a walk.

Will do
Ive got to wait until next weekend to get my wheels back from the finishers to see how the car sits now which is frustrating. Then after they settle I'll get the geometry adjusted all ready for a couple of thousand French miles I bought them from the Eibach shop for £178 delivered I don't know if it was the cheapest place but after BMW quoted me £254 just for the rears it sounded cheap! see here: http://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-prokit-performance-spring-kit-e10200190122_p31223213.htm#.WMUsohicaRs

Had my geo adjusted recently, my rear negative camber is at 1.5degrees as opposed to 2.5degrees as standard to give the inside edge tyre edge a bit of respite :?

Cheers Paul. Great to meet you and Mike. His work is excellent, and a top bloke to boot. Hopefully see you around!

Finally got around to sorting out my drivers seat belt which was very sluggish retracting.
I took the seat belt mechanism out to check if the plastic guide had come dislodged which fouls the belt when retracting, unfortunately the guide was in place. Sprayed a few bursts of silicon spray on the visible moving parts of the belt mechanism I could see before reinstalling it. I decided it must be dirty seat belts causing friction and slowing the belts retraction. So pulled the seat belt out as far as it would go and put a small clamp on the belt to stop it retracting. Then got half a bucket of hot water with some washing powder dissolved in it and put as much of the belt into the water as I could. Left submerged for 10 mins. then wiped belt off with micro fibre cloth, you should have seen the dirt that came off on the cloth and the colour of the water
. I didn't think the belts were that dirty to be honest. Gave the belts a rinse off in cold water and then another wipe and left extended to dry. Once dry I gave then a quick spray with silicon spray, the belts certainly retract a lot quicker now, plus the belts feel better as well, so well pleased with the result
