quit

Personally I do a lot of miles I would not consider a petrol , roads are different over here ... majorly ! I would get a diesel, when I started the job I'm in I was using my BMW 2.5 and that was doing about 24mpg on a run and boy do you notice it ! I switched to a tdci Mondeo which was faster and did 50mpg !

It's ok won't last long tho

700 seems cheap , tho I not looked at it for years ! Don't see many stations doing the gas much anymore

Yeah the standard immobiliser is crap and needs taking out they are prone to issues great least you got a nice upgrade apexi ecu !

must of got rid of it then, was on there ages ago but its all full-dip now

Look up thunder silver or thunder cloud by matt pack

Plasti dip prob £15 quid a tin and don't go far hydro dip prob about 30/40 quid seen the kits on ebay I'm tempted by one

I would go hydro dip over plasti dip any day of the week

Yeah looks like a shell petrol station mate

Nice interior

i like the spoiler raiser kit !

one my mates E36 has been repaired by the garage many times as he refuses to sell it , last mot they said its worth 500 quid max but you need to spend a grand on stuff but he didnt care as he loves that car its a really nice 328i coupe in a nice colour

Do you actually need Hub centric then ?

Was a mint wagon on a 51 plate with loads too spec bits including prodrive everything !! Think that was 2995 but not seen it in ages and it only had about 70k on clock

My top tips for buying a classic , ive had a few and purchased a few for friends or to sell on but this is what i normally use as a mental check list: 1. ROT first up outside check the underside, subframe, arches for bad repairs and rot. then go in the boot, pull the carpets back and have a good look about, get right in the arch liner panel with a torch - any water or rust walk away 2. Poor parts Worked on by specialists such as " rotherham scoobies / Tony hough " or "midland scooby services - hammond " / Bart Rocko / Facebook tuners walk away 3. Check for more rot 4. Unmapped cars - only needs a map tweek is bull sh2t , decat / changed turbos etc walk away 5. Cars with manual boost controllers - walk away 6. Ebay chinese turbos walk away 7. STi parts --- no real such thing 8. Prodrive pack - No certifcate then it dont exist 9. Rot 10. Con merchants like rotherham scoobies trying sell you a car 11. Avoid buying via facebook traders - cant be arsed with proper advertising such as pistonheads/ebay dont bother

30mm ???? Say bye bye to that handling and wheel bearings!

oh and you rarely find them with sun roofs, one my mates had a uk v5 with a sun roof tho

audis generally driven by older gentlemen who play golf on a thursday..... Scoobs driven by hooligans in burberry baseball caps Power might seem low at 220ish bhp but they chuck the power down extremely well ! will outrun most higher power newer cars and in the wet / slippery conditions well they are just insane! Both my UK cars had the PPP upgrade which boosts them to around 255bhp.... One didnt last long i then ran a ECULABS ecu, vf28, exhaust and 330bhp and it !Removed! went like hell!! needed a bit more comfort so gone newage and its different yet still a fun drive

I had a impreza turbo at 21, few friends did too! i had a 97 V4 WRX tho this was 10 years ago and insurance was considered expensive then at £1200! Since then ive had 4 other classics and i love them, i got a new age at the moment which is slowly growing on me but the uk2000 is a great base car as long as its not rotten

The ducktail is I only ever seen it in brochures

Depends on your budget tho , Alcatek is great but 4x the price of esl

I like the super rare duck tail one

Think so it's very light gonna spray the end bits silver so only the blade it carbon
