    Maybe his neighbours are the ass holes and this is their penance.

    On one side I've a lad in a st202 Celica and on the other an old boy with a mini of some sorts that isn't exactly quiet either.


    We're all in this together.

    That's my kind of road!

    I live on a corner and all I have next door is an Almera with masking tape holding the bumper together... Matches my Fiance's Micra. :pac:

    Picked up a set of wheels for the winter. Not perfect but threw some new tyres on them to allow me get the originals done in time for the next tyre change. 1k done this weekend alone in it and it’s an ideal all rounder for me - comfy, useful (4 wheels and a few tyres in the back for a good chunk of the miles), pokey enough for most situations, brilliant gearbox and even loaded up and tipping along it all on a tank and a little bit.

    Almost 6 months of ownership, what a cracking car.

    BMW 128ti - 2L turbo petrol 261bhp.

    Tucked away for the next few months




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,076 ✭✭✭GustavoFring


    Few little jobs done on the car in the run up to Christmas. I’d originally sold it because the spec wasn’t great but there’s a lot more retrofit options now. Had an NBT retrofit done with the bigger screen, idrive controller and OEM revering camera which made a huge difference to the interior (Bluetooth streaming - welcome to 2010).


    The 6WA cluster was installed at the same time. The car came with the most basic dials so while this isn’t the full digital one it’s a nice upgrade. Only downside is the mph dials but it doesn’t bother me.


    Next job is to get these fitted but it’s cold and wet outside so I’m not in any hurry because it’s a bumper off jobbie.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,377 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Very nice and makes a world of difference. A quick workaround for the mph dials is if you have access to the Bimmercode app then you can code it to display the current speed digitally where the digital odometer readout was. Then just change the odometer from mph to kph and it will display the current speed in kph also. Not sure if that's doable however with your new cluster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,076 ✭✭✭GustavoFring


    Enabled that alright with bimmercode. Very useful in fairness.

    New Classic that arrived a few weeks ago. Really needs a good wash and a few loose ends fixing but overall running nicely.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,523 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    That’s class!



  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 725 CMod ✭✭✭✭LIGHTNING


    Thanks! Decided to go a bit left field for this classic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,756 ✭✭✭✭For Forks Sake


    Very cool. Any chance you'd do society a favour and run over that Figaro in the background (I have an irrational hatred of those things)?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,617 ✭✭✭ba_barabus


    I saved this Volvo C70 last summer. It had been parked up on a driveway since 2017 I think due to the cost if insurance and tax.


    Anyway, plenty of work done over the last few months, front wishbones, full service (plugs, filters), new windscreen, refreshed tyres, cambekt and water pump, brake fluid changed, front discs, pads and calipers and finally electric windows freed up.


    Just needs a good clean and polish for its nct nect week. Very comfortable to sit in and drive.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 646 ✭✭✭v240gltse


    Love those C70's and well done on getting it back on the road. Enjoy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Lovely!

    Sometimes I miss my XC70, it was an extremely comfy tank when it worked. To much miles for the tech though and wasn't worth repairing for me. Got shipped off to Lithuania.


    I'd LOVE a new S90 estate. Beautiful cars.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,617 ✭✭✭ba_barabus


    The outside needed a good polishing. It's not perfect but it's a dam sight better now. NCT this Saturday evening so fingers crossed it's a pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    Lovely colour combo on that C70, always thought they were a great looking car.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,439 ✭✭✭Wailin


    Fitted new alloys recently, was never a fan of the original style 20" m sport on the G30. Too conservative for me personally. These are the m550i wheels and make a big difference, you can actually see the calipers now!

    Hi all,

    Here's my 640d. Recently purchased the BMW 666m alloys so they will be going on soon to replace the Ispiri's. Like the bronze wheels but a tyre company here in Galway damaged one and I can't get it powdercoated/painted to match the others so good excuse to get new wheels 😀

    Have it nearly two years and love it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,076 ✭✭✭GustavoFring


    I was driving myself around the bend on done deal since the Cupra went looking for something fun to mess about with. This popped up, bit of a rough diamond, needs some work but that’s exactly what I was looking for.


    Original Irish Phase 1 Clio 172. Mechanically it’s pretty sound, getting the belts done to be safe and then onto remedying a few electrical gremlins, a tidy up on the interior and getting it tested.


    The plan is to just enjoy it. The paints not great but I’ll remedy that if I’m still loving it in time. It’s a really nice tonic to the overly cocooned modern cars and really puts a smile on your face.

    Impulse buy after I happened to see it online. 2015 vrs

    Manual gearbox which is a rarity here

    So back on the funny smelling tobacco again L? 😁 Nah, that's extremely sub zero cool. Whats the condition like? Does it need much work?

    A good mate and rellie of mine had one of them for a while. Same colour too. He loved it. Great car, went like stink with it. In his hands mind you. Unlike me who runs outa talent at anything above 30mph in old money, he can actually drive. Like, if I typed his name a few of the motorsport guys here would quite likely know him, drive. I do remember him saying they can be lairy on the limit, with the back stepping out and not so easy to catch. If he says lairy that would mean if I tried to drive it at 6 tenths I'd be upside down in a ditch, crying, with the strong smell of poo in the cabin after the first sharp corner. 😁 Yours looks like someone like me was never behind the wheel. It might show a bit of the years, but looks very clean otherwise. Nice catch Gust. 👌

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I fixed the heater which was an easy fix. Apart from that its seeping from one of the power steering hoses and its dripping a bit from the bottom of the windscreen washer bottle. Apart from that its running perfectly.

    Wow that looks to be in great condition considering it's age. It obviously spent a lot of it's life in a shed.

    Picked this up last week. 2016 430D. First time with an auto box and it's glorious.

    Just picked this up yesterday, after trading my 2012 BMW 520d MSport.

    I'm very happy with it, a 2016 Jaguar XF R-Sport
