  1. Makes you think.... 740 auction
  2. What a disgusting dash though. It looks like a tractor !
  3. Errrr....doesnt time AND money equate to time + money and not time x money ?
  4. Did you bother to read the title before giving us those pearls of wisdom ?He's asked for peoples opinions. If you dont want to know the answer, dont ask the question.
  5. Nasty....sorry mate but you did ask
  6. It all depends on what you do. Laptaps are great for portability but are beaten all ends up for what Paul wants to do by desktops. Paul, are you wanting to hook your satellite up to the new machine to record ?
  7. Paul, Are you talking about watching IPTV, or just stuff youve downloaded ? IPTV is all about your internet connection and I seriously doubt Xtra is good enough for that, but if its downloaded then you just need something capable. Why a laptop though ? Do you want to be able to use it all around the house or is this machine to be run your tv like mine ? Ive been speccing a new machine up to handle the HD content thats being trialled at the moment and it comes in around 1200 all up. It will handle all 1080p content with ease and you will be able to do all your timeshifting etc on it. It all depends if you want to be able to do this all around the house or not ? We need to talk this through over a beer [edit] forgot to say that this will do hdmi to your new LCD
  8. Glenn, are you after smoked lenses in particular or just a darker look than the crytsal lenses that are about ?
  9. Pretty much everyone I know who did go to Vista has wished they didnt !
  10. I cant remember what the stuff is that you use to take the tint off but it cant be hard to find in a hardware store. I did it a couple of times on my 750 because I kept spraying them too dark and it would flash red and not orange. No problems with the 325 though, once youve had a go its not hard to get it right next time. As for my indicators I got them from the UK as the crytal indicators. But instead of using the 'crystal' reflector in th new indicator unit all I did was swap the clear lense over. I like them
  11. I dont think the colour matters as Ive seen plenty of cars from the US with all red lights and red indicators and there are god knows how many holdens out there with indicators that are more white than orange. It is however illegal to put any tint on the lense. Ive known some people to get caught out by it, but Ive not had it even questioned where i get my WOF'd
  12. If theyve just been sprayed why dont you take some paint cleaner (or whatever its called) to them and strip it off ? You can then tint them red yourself.

    Rear view mirror

    But only if you show him yours first.....so Ive heard
  14. Thats not a gimmick, its bloody brilliant mate, well done
  15. How about pictures and a price ?
  16. I need the plastic cover thats on the outside, preferably in titan silver. I think the part numbers are 51168165115 for the inner cover and for the painted outer 51169067424
  17. Surely my eyes deceive me, your not taking seriously the LTSA website now are you Will

    Getrag 260/6

    Your main cost is not going to be the shipping but the packing. There is a rule now that all wood used must be of a certain standard for 'treatment'. You cant just stick it in any old create and hope to get it in the country. Sorry, Ill have to dig out the paperwork for the technical term. I was looking at bringing some body kits out last year and the packaging would cost twice the actually frieght. We were looking at 600quid to just to create the kits up !! One thing I discussed with the shipping agent here was to use just any old wood, and take it on the chin that MAF would stop it this end and fumigate, but at $100 an hour (plus the cost of fumigation) it didnt make much difference. I have the paperwork somewhere if you want me to find it.

    The /6 at the end of 540i means 6 speed manual

    Getrag 260/6

    From what I can find on the web, the 260/6 is from an e32 735i and the 260/5 appears to be from the e28 535 and there is a 260/8 and a 260/2 aswell, the /8 is from an e34 m5 3.8 and the /2 is the dogleg. At least I think thats right.

    Excuse my ignorance, but what does the '/6' signify ?
  22. Well to be exact Cain there was no need for the comma in your original statement. Nothing wrong with my gramma, in fact I saw her the other day and she was very well
