Hello all Been a while but thought I'd pop on for those of you wanting a little coupe porn. I drove down to Puglia in southern Italy for a day last weekend, and took a few pics along the way. The car is set up for fast road use, and with the polybushing and fresh Eagle F1s the levels of...

Just thought I'd pop a message up to say I'd very much recommend Rob at the Krown HQ at Tipton if you were thinking of getting your car treated for rust prevention. I've been coming here for years with my Hilux and wanted to protect the coupe with the same treatment. Rob is absolutely...

Not sure if it's been posted before, but an interesting short video of the designer of the Z4 and his original sketches of its 'flame surfacing' (or 'sexy math'). https://youtu.be/bmrMVhlNodE?si=jB3jsiW-xOPAPSQI Owen

Hello, Can I ask does anyone on here have a passenger airbag deactivation switch fitted? If so please drop me a pm, I have a question for you. Thanks Owen

Hello all, Looking to retrofit a passenger deactivation switch in my e86, and from what I can gather it's been many years since the kit was discontinued. I've searched on the forum and someone helpfully left part numbers, but for the wiring it appear to go to cruise control wiring, which I...

Hello all Getting a slight grumble from what I expect to be the rear pinion bearing (small audible sound under load, goes silent soon as you lift off or decelerate). I'll be taking it to TES Transmissions for a second opinion this week, but just so I've a ballpark, has anyone replaced theirs...

Little update from my end - my Cove is indeed now for sale... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195694648655?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-YYlFYYbQ-G&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-YYlFYYbQ-G&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Forum discount of course, £250 collected to any of you...

Hi chap, yeah thought I'd live dangerously by choosing the Rockbros over the Seasuckers, the price difference was too large to ignore. The double bubble roof ridges rule out a roof mounting for the front suckers annoyingly, so the rear screen is a flatter mounting surface. Everything seems...

Test fit before a trip to Afan this weekend... Owen

Thank you sir, here they are illuminated. Owen

Hi all Been on here a while and figured I should probably put some pics up of my manual coupe. Bought off Harry in February, and is a forum car so well known by the more established folks on here. 1 of 2 built in RHD in this spec. Full service history, much work documented on here. Since I've...

Hello all, Have the seemingly familiar moaning whales steering noise approaching full lock at parking speeds. I've followed the very useful info on the forum here and liberally greased the ends of the steering rack, and had a go (albeit perhaps not very well) at the joints on the shaft from...

:D

Hello all I replaced my Meyle HD lower arms for a fresh pair with new ball joints for the MOT this week (passed with flying colours and no advisories, woohoo). Anyway, I replaced the lower arms I had on because there was a little play in the ball joints. In replacing the arms I've kept the old...

As above, does anyone have an OEM clear reflector for the driver's side of the front bumper? Just noticed mine has cracked. Thanks Owen

Hi all Looking to replace my front lower arm ball joints and according to the previous owner they're Meyle HDs wishbones. Would anyone know if the ball joints in the Meyle arms are removable, or whether I'm looking at a whole new arm? I'm seeing ball joints online which seem to suggest they...

Hello all, I installed the following Bluetooth system on my coupe a few months back: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384262753191?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=i75sgm1at1s&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-YYlFYYbQ-G&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS It works well, connects instantly, the...

My daily is my coupe, we also have a Toyota Auris estate for family duties. And I've a heavily modified old Hilux in the shed, currently waiting for the price of diesel to drop back to 60p a litre. Owen

...per litre of oil? 2,300 on the last 1L top-up for me. Owen EDIT - recalculation, from five bars to light to five bars is actually 3,800 miles per litre used (the above figure was from a starting position of 3 bars on the gauge).
