I have gone over to the smokey side and moved from Martorell to Dingolfing, front wheel drive to rear wheel drive - I picked up a BMW E81 120D from 2008 for an absolute steal.
what have you done to your car today ?
- Thread starter seatcupramad23
- Start date
Well, at least you'll have something that'll keep you busier than the Leon...
Hope it’s had the timing chain done big job and a common fault on them

Yup timing chain and electrical re-calls all done with proof ......but yes the N47 is quite possibly the worst engine ever made. Could always put a 1.8T in it
Nah - It just works ..........................walks off offering sacrifices and money to the gods of BMW
Picked up my Karcher from repair center, got home to wash car and it started raining 
So sat and watched Mother Nature do it for me

Had fun today packing out my offside front anti roll bar d bush with a old bit off timing belt
Getting the bolt to line back up was the fun bit also changed the front drop links so my car has now gone back to normal nice and smooth with no little knocking on uneven roads

Anyone know where else i could order forge FMDV008, 007 or similar from? other than forge website. 50€ postage for such a small item seems weird
You don’t really want one buddy. Keep standard oem.
Works better. Good to 400 BHP and doesn’t leak. Save your cash.
Ps no good on a mapped car.
Badger5 Custom Map + TIP,
3”Custom exhaust, FMIC, Bosh 550’s, BC Coilovers, ARB’s +loads more.
i know there is no real benefits but it looks nice and pshh pshh, makes it worth to me lol

In fact the forge version isn’t so psssh psssh, I had one years ago.
Decent induction kit gives you more noises.
The Bailey Thai offered you is if I remember correctly is quite loud.
But you’ll find out If you can get hold of one.

Been spending a bit of time looking at my exhaust lately and I can't help feeling like these are a bit weedy.
I had my backbox hanger welded years ago because it had rusted away and was wondering if I can just replace that part of the exhaust with something that has bigger tips, or if I can do anything to the tips by themselves.
As it's a diesel, I wouldn't get any performance gains from a whole new exhaust, but if I might make it sound a bit better, that's always a bonus...
Hey! I managed to get through the whole post without saying anything about 'just the tip'...
