Look at this bloody monstrosity:

3 Foot long, 1.2kg, held to the bodywork with EIGHT 13mm bolts, just to hold a couple of exhaust mounts!

Took care of that, Trials weight weenie style:

Always worth hanging onto a car after test for a max of 3 months.

Excessive corrosion worthy of MOT failure can fall back on the seller/tester within that time scale. Though you can plead innocent and pin it on the test station for missing it.

I did the same after VOSA carried out an inspection on my corsa and deemed all my brake hose ferrules beyond safe in terms of corrosion only a week following its test during a random inspection and the garage got the bumming, not me

How much are they charging?

Just got mine removed it's a lovely feeling!

A few beers :D

You don't own a set of tools and a roll of black tape? Haha.

MOT regs - Gotta switch on and off again. And because my car is totally legitimate, no bodges what-so-ever (kek), I want it done legit.

I also had errors on my ABS, which I have fixed on the dash, but would like the logs cleared out.

Also, it will be stickered up tomorrow, ready for Le Mans! Woo!

Fair play dude! The local place here lets that one fly (the on and off thing, and they are really anal), especially with the airbags removed (which I think you had done?).

The friendly MOT place near me let it through last year with it on, but just want rid of the Christmas tree look my dash is rocking.

Just sold my car - happy to sell it but still sad to see it go. 4 years is a long time.

Oh well, car shopping time!

Opinions, S3, or 330ci?

Edit: 8L and E46

E46 330Ci

because

One of the (if not THE)best coupe silhouette

244 Hp, rear wheel drive (nuff said)

Beautiful 6 speed gearbox

smooth ride, yet firm (m packet)

I was a passenger in one, and since then it is decided what will be my next car

You like them then :P

I think they're 231bhp though.

From what I gather they're only 6 speed from 03 onwards also, 5 speed before that. Ideally I'm after a 6 speed but if a nice earlier one comes up I won't complain.

I just think I may miss having a turbo, and the ability to give it a remap (and notice a difference).
