Sure mine looks like a Zebra at the minute, so yours is spotless compared.

Oil change yesterday, amazing what you can do when its not f-ing raining.





The Liqui Moly Ceratec instructions say to drive around really fast to get it to bed in*, so went for a drive:

Picked this up for €700 the other day. She's the 2.2 diesel. Very handy on juice (compared to the other yoke I have) Pretty happy with her so far... It's just something to do me til I can rebuild the bike!

Looks awful clean for the price, well wear

Thanks man. Took a bit of scrubbing as the guy hadn't even bothered to wash it. One of the reasons I used to bargain him down.

I can't how you have it propped but there was a poor crater over the road from me killed last year when whatever way he had his car jacked failed and it came down on him. It's worth throwing a couple blocks of timber under the jacking points in case it does come down. Nice motor btw.

Looks like its driven up on a wooden ramp so pretty safe.

Yeah I'm very conscious of that which is why I'm not adding jacks, which are the fail point. Its on a wooden ramp both sides, wider than the wheel with both sides actually 2 separate pieces (4 ramps in 2x2) for redundancy. The tyres are chocked from rolling forward and back.

In this case, an oil change, you don't get under the car, the sump plug can be done at arms length. I have experienced a jack fail on someone else's car at their house.

Where'd that E38 come from, Matt?

guttenberg

I think he bought that off dahamsta. Lovely car!

shinkansen

he doesn't tell us how many miles he gets on a full tank, i would be surprised if he saw 250/300miles from long distance..?

its a very cool motor though.

Who me? Well no one asked so obviously I didnt tell. :P

The 850CSi (5.6 V12) gets 350miles (560km) on a 90litre tank.
The 740i (4.4 V8) which is my daily gets over 400miles (660km) on a 90litre tank. I think it could just about get 500miles to a tank if driven nicely.

Thats my commuting MPG, none of it with any real regard to saving fuel.


Considering the technology gap (vastly in favour of the 740i) and performance gap (in favour of the 850CSi), thats pretty good going for the 8 series.

Sounds about right. I used to get about 380 from a full tank on the 735 - mostly urban.

BobBobBobBob

Not mine but a V8!

LOL! Lets all just bang up pics of cars we like in the 'Post a picture of YOUR car' thread.:P

Love the way you spend more time painting your intakes than your house. :pac:

Best of luck with the E38.

Toyotafanboi

love (and recognise ) the corolla! its very nice.

Ded_Zebra

On Saturday (I think it was) I headed up towards the Wicklow gap to see if I could find some snow.

Ded_Zebra

Also some people here might want to see this. I put these pics up in the classic car section years ago so might pop them up here as well

Toyotafanboi

They are good fun alright, on the way down like to see how far I can roll (in gear) makes for some brown trouser moments :pac:

Mister Jingles

Up until now I always thought that the Delta only even came in LHD but wrong I was

Integrale was 4wd only IIRC, drove one around a car park years ago

Yep they made all of the "normal" (front wheel drive) in right and left hand drive. The Integrale was a different story though however I think there were a handful of Intelgrales made in RHD, the 8 valve only I think but I'm open to correction

An integrale is what I aspire to but atm the 1.6 HF turbo will do

Well that would have made you wrong as far as I know unless it was modified to be RWD by someone.

lol, apologies again I meant to say right hand drive not 4wd or rwd

I was on about Integrales in general not one modified one btw.

dar83

You meant to say Left Hand Drive only, surely?

All snowed in in Poland. Heading back Friday so hopefully weather picks up for the trek back.

An example of one can be found, albeit for £20k onwards I'll never find or have funds for an S4....

Drove a mates and I fell in love, it's still a work in progress, but its almost done. Nothing too drastic just a few simple mods

fell in love with what though? not trying to trap you or anything, just interesting to know. the missus is looking at one for her next car and wont look at anything else.

looks like a well kept car, not too common on 5dr either . i'd agree with the lowering comment.

Everything mate, the drive, comfort, the look, you hear the term a drivers car, well imo this is one, lowering will be done, it's next on the list,

I'm not too fond of the B7 but this one certainly does grab my liking, much nicer then the 4 door.

Well back from this post. The car arrived today but they don't produce that nice orange or green when I ordered it so I went for a white and also another kick in the nuts they didn't have them ST alloys only expensive cool ones or shabby standards. I went for the standards but will be replacing them with black 19"s aftermarkets. I can't drive the car till the 22nd of April + it still has to be PDI'd and cleaned so I'll put up pictures then. Heres what it will look like if/when I get the black alloys. Its already getting that darkest street legal tint.
