Heh, annoying place to access the strut bolts isn't it!

Haha, exactly.

I would have to agree with a lot of the previous comments. A distasteful combination in my opinion... Some people should not be allowed to meddle with cars, it's as simple as that.

I've always assumed the Stig is played by a few different drivers, with who ever is available at the time filling in for the role. Which I still do.. Just seems too much of a stunt for schumacher to be the Stig. Adds to the entertainment of it never the less!

Likewise. To be honest I've never really cared about who the Stig is, it's kinda a novelty that its kept a secret. But my guesses are the character is played by multiple race drivers.

Heh, an LSD, I would love one, but it's something that would tease me to drive harder than usual. If I was frequent on the track with it then for sure, I would grab that LSD, but for now it's not a priority. Would be nice though.

Yeah I believe they are pretty much exactly the same. I'm actually changing the wheels soon, these wheels on mine aren't genuine so I'm just going to for a factory set of BMW 17's until I can find/afford a proper genuine set of the AC/Alpina/BBS variety. Sadly no LSD... but it is indeed NZ new. Things I know it doesn't have are also: Headlight sprayers Cruise Control Traction Control What are the options on yours that you know of?

Looking excellent Ian! It should settle nicely, mine has and looks somewhat like this after a while of driving on the springs. (Same springs, factory shocks)

Brilliant news Simon, that sounds great.

Brilliant. Reminds me of why I like cars.

A vote for the E34's from me

I agree.

Mmmm yes... I tend to give the cars Ive had some fat up on to Gt South road coming off narrow Garland... A bit naughty! Though, if this is the case, its proof its too loud. I'm looking at changing the system to have mandrel bends, a proper, H pipe, with two big 2.5" dual in / dual out Magnaflow mufflers under the trans tunnel/drive shaft, out the back, should be quieter & have a tone I prefer.

Welcome to the forum, all the way from Belgium! Got any pictures of your machine?

LOL, that was me comming home from work! It sounds very much like a Holden. Alright to your ears or eww? Regardless, Im sure it would be WAY over the limit, must be 115dB or so I'm guessing I'm currently contemplating doing a new system with better bigger mufflers, in all not that happy with this current system.......

Disgusting, hope it is found, intact... I will keep an eye out on the roads, you never know.

Sad to see man! I believe the same sort of damage but less, happened to my E34, it was fixed.

I was wondering, with a V8, running duals, is it bad in anyway to have both an H pipe and an X pipe in the system? Would they interfere with each other? Would there be any negatives or positives for running both? Just wondering as the exhaust man said 'you can never have too much balancing' when he put the X pipe in, leaving the H pipe installed previously there. I'm not convinced it's wise to have the H in there too, the sound is confusing and in regards to flow, it would probably muck up the work the X pipe is doing. Plus I've NEVER heard of people running both of these balancing setups in one system. Any ideas?

Haha, that was most certainly me I'll get some pictures tomorrow actually, have most of the day free. Hmm not a bad price. I'll probably go for some later in the year as planned. So... I take it your not selling the 540 then?

Keith is most certainly the man for this stuff.

Ah ha. That was the problem. Thanks man. I'm actually going to change from this stupid Google Chrome, should have done it months ago. It's pissed me off one too many times.

Ever since Ive been using this forum now and then I have found the threads are all stacked up after the first post, making it difficult to read everyones posts. Like in this picture bellow Is there a way to make it change so all the posts are in full?

Awesome Ian! I got some rear springs like those for mine a couple of weeks ago from Kieth, turns out mine already had them in the front, seems Ray put them in before I bought the car off him! Sits nicely now. What did the shock seat set you back? I was actually planning to get some through Kieth later in the year interestingly enough!

Yeah Arrow Wheels would be your best bet!

Thanks man. Also have this drive away shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFcoEasS8hk
