Its ok im not a fan either tbh, it suits some cars (E36) but makes mine look like a 3.0 non Evo.

I picked up my new indicator from BMW at lunch, will refit them all when i have some time

BenG? How you mean?

Had the tracking done and camber is out at the rear. There is little to no adjustment at the rear unlike newer BMWs.

Where do i start?!

Thing is it drives perfectly fine?! As in dead straight no wander steerings bang on, no odd charecteristics.

Bushes are on the cards, may as well check bearings and measure the axle.

If it drives fine then ignore the reading.

If you mess with it to get the reading out then it's going to drive differently.

is it out compared to factory standard or just out compared to other normal cars?

Sorry i should have explained better. It is out of spec for my car. According to local tyre place (Protyre) who are excellent in this field.

All very well and good saying ignore, but I have new tyres and don't want to buy more anytime soon. If its out, it can be fixed.

Powerfleex trailing arm bushes, Lemforder read arms should do the job.

Old school ICE. I fitted my new Vibe speakers and they sound great. Cheap too.

So realised I still had the sub from the Corsa, so for a laugh I thought I would lash it in the car and see how it sounds got a cheap powerful amp off eBay, some people may remember these amps from back in the day

Please go back to clear. Looks like you have put an m3 badge on a 318

Fried egg look.

Chrome bulbs look good on modded ones, not on std ones IMO! Looks too white?! If you get me.

Where did you buy the roof from?

Hardtop will look nice on yours, seem to be much cheaper now than they used to be aswell

Got some new toys;

Picked up a new fabric roof including headliner in mint condition as mines fucked.

Whilst I was there I picked up this for a steal, mint and had trim covers etc...
