I would always try to get out of the UK! Krakow is a great place as mentioned! Bruges was nice too. Lille or Paris are easy to get to & doesnt have to be too expensive! :)

Hi Steve, Depends on how much you want to spend! I would stick with the following companies for Merc tuning: Carlsson: http://www.carlsson.de/carlsson/en/programme/M-Class_W163.php Kleemann: http://shop.kleemann.dk/shop/power-8s.html Brabus: http://www.brabus.com/en/raster.php Brabus tend to concentrate on current models however. We have a customer with a fully Carlsson tuned SL55 AMG which is pretty insane!

Nice - that is a bargain for what you get! The 55AMG engine is pretty bullet proof too. Then wack one of these on: http://www.kleemann.dk/Performance/Power/Kompressor.aspx :w00t:

Pretty sure bmw never made a clk LOL! :smartass: Seriously tho - the CLK's are pretty good apart from corrosion - if you do go to look at one check all 4 wheel arches & around the boot lock. Mechanically they are pretty good if looked after. If you want any specific info on a car then let me know the VIN & I can check history etc for you :)

LOL! I dont think he is missing the issue to be fair! Everyone wants something for nothing & sometimes if you kick up enough you may get it, so worth a try. However you are paying for the subscription, the sky box is a piece of electrical equipment that has a 12 month warranty as far as I am aware - once out of warranty thats it! If it goes wrong its down to the owner regardless of the subscription!! How about this: My iphone goes wrong out of apples warranty period - I pay a monthly subscription to O2 for my phone package the same as I pay to sky for my TV package - would you expect O2 to give me a new iphone for free?! Nice thought but its not gonna happen!!

As James has pointed out you need to drop a profile from the front to the rear to keep the same rolling diameter of the tyre!

Jeez, what a downer! I hope you get a new block sorted soon. My rebuild seemed to be doomed with problems at one stage - its great when you get them all resolved & get back in the car :)

The clips are pretty obvious where they should go - I drilled the tailgate & filed the holes square - the trim clips in perfectly & can be removed easily if required! :)

useless info - its called a "jiggle pin" (yes, really!) & is used to help fill the system by allowing air to bleed through it :smartass:

I know!! Time goes so fast at times. Shes finished uni, got a degree etc etc!! So proud of her though! :wub:

Probably wasnt even a GT-R - probably a saxo with a car.mad R35 body kit on LOL!! :whistling::lol: Anyway - I still want one!! :hammer:

Whats even more amazing is Craigs post!! LOL! Queue loads of people going "Who?!!!" :lol:

LOL! brilliant!! :chef::clap:

LOL! its like being scared of the bogey man, or the devil & hell etc :devil2:

LOL! they are pretty awesome even as standard! One of our traders at my garage had one for a while - sounded the nuts launching up the road!

I too believe that something will happen after December 2012 that has never happened before. I cant believe no one else can see it. Its going to happen & theres nothing you or anyone else can do about it. No powers of the world can alter it or change its inevitibility. Prepare yourselves for after December 2012 it WILL happen. It will be 2013 LOL!! :lol:

LOL! Well hasnt been much better with zed ownership!! LOL! Could get a decent warranty to cover most things tho

really?! would love to own one! absolutely lovely techno powerhouse of a car!! :taz:

It didnt seem that long ago an aging R34 cost that much! Another couple of years & I might be able to afford one!! :thumbup:

Congratulations Andy - seems like a million years ago I was bringing my Louise home (well, ok - 21 years LOL) :biggrin:

If its just been skimmed a minimal amount then its going to make virtually no difference to stock. If you really want to work out your compression ratio then it is as follows: CR = SV+CV/CV Where the Compression ratio = the swept volume of the cylinder plus the clearance volume divided by the clearance volume. The clearance volume is anything above the swept volume including combustion chamber, head gasket thickness, cutouts in pistons etc Handy calculator here if you know all the measurements: http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html Probably all a bit OTT if its just a minor skim tho! :)

its got explosive charges in the door hinges if it detects the car is on its roof ;)

mmmm the SLS

hoping for this for 2010 #1 [YOUTUBE]2WNrx2jq184?[/YOUTUBE] :lol::lol::lol:

LOL! My mac mouse has left & right, a 4 way scroll ball & side buttons to scroll through open apps! :whistling:
