    Changing the coilovers to Bilsteins + Eibach Springs and refreshing a lot of the remaining suspension components while I'm at it. Hopefully get a raft of stuff done next weekend. The bushings look decent, so I'll just be doing the easy ones

    Just ordered a dynamix kit for the interior to tackle over xmas

    Try and find time to bring the 325 to a bodyshop to get the little bit of rust sorted...finding time is the problem though. Thinking about getting a proper detail done at some stage too. No idea of anyome anyone doing that kinda thing anymore though?

    RE: Plans for the winter

    In the middle of a winter refresh for the beast. Just finished a coolant system overhaul, with the rad removed and entire system flushed and refilled. Rear diff drained and awaiting some Castrol Syntrax to re fill it. 10 new spark plugs fitted, pollen and air filters done. Exhaust system dropped and heat shields removed to check SMG system for any leaks. Wheels need to be refurbed next, any recommendation as to where is the best place to send the wheels to be done?

    Not 100% sure on this but one of the sponsors of the old site has a new operation(kingpin detailing) and I think he might be south dublin based
