  1. I never had an issue with 5 point harness with twist release. But it was a very friendly tester, ahem.
  2. How's this. Sorry not on here much since the old girl departed. Comfy enough for a daily for sure in my opinion.
  3. Project will I ever see my soft shell again?
  4. That looks sweet Johnny, GTRs ain't my cup a tea but that looks nice. Hope you're well too. Never know I may turn up to a Northwest meet again one day.
  5. Ok, some of the Hik cameras do have a memory card slot but you still need to get power to them. I spent a bit more and went for 4 x 4MP cameras with a 4 Channel NVR with 4 Poe ports. I bought directly from one of the Hik UK Distributors (a favour from a buddy). The 4 channel Poe means I only run a single cat5 to each camera. My advice would be buy the best you can afford. Make sure there is decent built in IR illumination (30 m) and check the lens. 2.8mm should give over 90 degree viewing angle but 2.4 will be much more narrow. Be careful. Listen to Bignum's recommendations and follow his advice. He really does know what he is on about!
  6. Don't tell anyone but I ran 1.3bar on my j-spec twins occasionally with no issues...
  7. well it was kind of on topic.... Might be useful in a pub quiz...
  8. if its a 6 cylinder model also check the induction swirl flap as these can cause engine failure. I'm sure you have, but check out http://www.z4-forum.com/
  9. Have you checked the rear springs? They are a common problem on Z4s but dont usually make any noise. It could be the smaller portion of the broken spring rattling around over bumps?
  10. Don't disagree with whats been said but not many people know that originally aluminium was aluminum! It was Humphry Davy that discovered the metal and originally called it Alumina but changed this to Aluminum by the time he published his work. Charles Hall was dominant in the production of Aluminum and changed its name to Aluminium on all his patents, and the name stuck! So this is one where the Americans are technically right and we are wrong. Makes a change!
  11. The website does not appear to work very well, not many cars on there and all priced in Dollars (I guess USD but it isnt mentioned). I guess a mod will be along shortly to remove the blatant advertising!
  12. I saw 421BHP on my BPU J-spec. Thought it was enough for road use, for a month or two...
  13. My car had Ridox bumper and side skirts fitted by Whifbitz prior to purchase (yes the car came from Paul as well). Fitment was perfect until i parked to close to a curb (front on) and rearranged the fitment. ahem.
  14. I would suggest that Racelogic could be your friend. Their TC system is great and fairly cost effective! The added bonus is you get nice pops from the exhaust when it kicks in as it cuts ignition rather than fuelling.
  15. I would guess that as the older car is the 35i and the newer one the 30i, it might be down to when they were registered rather than when they were built? Or they may have changed the 35i before the 30i? Good p[oint above. Did the 35i have DCT transmission? I have BM with the newer style selector and find it better than than the "traditional" style as you select drive with one simple movement rather than having to select the right indent passing through neutral and reverse first.
  16. That's not really how it works. The Accusump needs to be primed before it can function and the engine needs to be running to do this. Not sure you would need one on a road car. SteveL fitted one when he did the Eurosaloons series racing on slicks but never used one in time attack on the Toyo 888s. Neither did Paul Whiff.
  17. I would want to get an invoice from the garage asap so you can get the 2 companies to pay up. If they take as long to pay as it took them to agree to pay, you will be the one who suffers as I guess they will not release your car until the payments are made. Hope it all goes smoothly.
  18. The Driftworks one is good quality. I had one on mine, Mike now has it on his and SteveL used one on his race car. No play at all!
  19. Nothing wrong with Rotas Luc. Steve ran them with Porsche Carrera Cup slicks on his race car in the Eurosaloons series with no issues. They were Boost Drift and sure they were 9.5 & 10.5J on 18". I had his spare set on my car before I sold it.
  20. A 2005 3.0 6 speed with the 18" bbs 5 spoke split rims, black leather M Sport electric memory seats, sat nav, Bluetooth, DSP sound in silver. Of course, slow as sh*t compared to the old Sup, but most of the miles have been done with the Mrs in the car. The only time she went inside the Sup was when she helped me remove the cage. Lol. Just Sorned it for the winter. Less than 100 miles year! Will be selling it in the spring.
  21. Think that was lost on everyone... I have a 320d Gt (the hatchback 3 series) with the auto box. Nice for wafting up and down the motorway but feels a bit flat. Paddle shift responds well in sport and sport+ modes! nothing like the Mercedes flick the paddle, count to 5 and then the gears change.
