Simon Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Also, 318's aren't even particularly great at drifting. It's what all my friend's have moved into and they all got BMW's. I think the lowest spec one was always a 320, and they all went to 325's and now in Skyline/200's. They alight to start in, but you only really have the power to get the back out in the wet which is a shame. Nice cars though for 400 pound, crazy how much they've come down. Welder, some springs and z3 top mounts and you can pretty much enjoy the wet straight out the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Actually I tell a lie, she is. Diet, I got two half decent linked skids out of it in the dry yesterday. Just depends how lethal you are with the clutch kicks. Most people can't get them sideways because they are flids and put 18" G* wheels on them etc. 16's, 45ps and a heroic clutch kick ***.

I think it MIGHT be the f**k that I don't give! You haven't text me back bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Cool, my ecu is unrepairable, so I need another one. How much is it to program an ECU, usually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich J Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Girlfriend had her car written off, 52 reg clio, other drivers fault, his insurance is offering £1310. She disputed it and got another offer of £1350 and is still disputing, they are saying that due to two small scratches the car is worth £300 less (rest of the car is perfect), even though it's a write off and is being scrapped, apparently that is taken into account. I'm next to clueless when it comes to cars, anyone had a similar situation or suggestions of cards to play? Any help to cheer her up would be useful. Preferably car help....

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Try and gather some proof of the value- if you can show the going rate for an average-good quality version of her car if she were to directly replace it was £1600 then they can't really deny upping their bid.

MadManMike Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 To those interested, I superglued a piece of scrap metal onto the cigarette lighter and gave it two hours to cure. Then the lighter just pulled out Win. Gotta test if the actual socket works now, but either way it's got the lighter out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Like I said Jardo, I don't give a crap how often you change car, fair play, I really don't care, I know people who get through many more cars than you, the trouble is every time you decide that your current car is the best thing ever, and you'll never get rid of it, and it's always the best example of the car possible... etc.. It just gets very boring, very quickly. BMW looks like a laugh, the 318is is an alright little car, half decent on fuel too from friends experiences. If you wrap it around a lamp-post trying to be captain-sideways can I have the remains? I'm after a scrap (or just scrap money) e36 for some development work sometime soon! You going to SOS again anytime soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yes, yes, yes and yes. Basically lol! I just took full payment for the Clio, the entire car earnt me £43 for 4 months motoring...Good going! When is the next SOS meet Robin?

RobinJI Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Good times on the Clio, except is that taking into account the money you spent on mods? I can't remember if they're the 1st or 2nd Wednesday of the month, and they're pretty slow updating the facebook page, I was kind of hoping you'd know haha, it's sometime next month anyway.

Pashley26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's excluding the Rarb, so I am £50 down I guess. Still not bad though! Yeah whenever, we'll see and I'll text you. Know anybody with any BMW wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah a friend of mine and I are going, I presume you are? Looks interesting yeah, I'm always up for new shows that are local. I was asked to arrange a club stand for Clio-Sport but Vospers have a stand there anyway so will go that way I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Not sure if I'll head along, probably will pop down but it just depends what else comes up, I've not been too arsed about car shows recently unless they involve camping and beer.

Greetings Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Looking good that My car is apparently ready, got the bill and I'm absolutely stoked at how low it is, especially considering how much of a pain in the arse I was demanding a factory finish on custom mods. I was going to go and fight for every penny due to all the delays but now such an approach just seems wrong. So now it's time to get a trailer, take the car to have an MOT and then register it.
