Also, add ones of these:

As for the BMW thing, that's not a problem. They cant keep up in the corners so wouldn't be able to see it anyway.

I vote for Honda and H off, Accord on. Or all on.


Btw, my Grandfather gave me his 1988 Golf mk2 1.6. It just needs some bodywork done and clutch is slipping, but my neighbour gave me almost new clutch disc, going to work on it next weekend. No pics yet.
Oh, and i started my Yamaha after 3 weeks in garage. I thought something was wrong inside, maybe a broken valve as it was easy to push, but it didn't bumpstart. Needs oil change and cleaning/adjusting carbs, but at least it's running. Happy day!

At least fix the headlight gaps. It's a 1-minute job at most and it cleans the front end up a lot.

ARGH! Nothing I hate more then people mis badging cars. There's a guy near me with an old civic that has huge Mugen stickers at the bottom of the doors, even though his car contains nothing to do with Mugen.

It depends how balls-out fiction the badge is. Someone with an Impreza Turbo who's painted it metallic blue and put WRX badge on the back is fairly sad, but the same badge on a completely stock, very obviously non-turbo one, in the original colour is quite funny.

Sometimes I cannot help but laugh at some of them, I must admit. I've seen people stick Turbo badges on there otherwise standard Ford Escort 1.4 LX. :/

On Topic: Just got back from doing some shopping, and found a pretty cool feature on my car. It has cruise control, and whenever I had to overtake someone that is only doing 2-3 mph less, I thought I had to cancel the cruise control, overtake, then re-enable it.

However, I found out that I can still overtake with it enabled and without having to fiddle with the preset. I can simply press the accelerator to overtake. Then when I release the pedal, the car settles down again and will enable the cruise control by itself when it reaches the preset speed. The only time it turns off is when you hit a bump (potholes will disable it) or if you even breath on the pedals.

Cannot believe it has taken this long to discover it, but I'm very happy I have. Makes Motorway driving much easier. xD

This long, I'll say... Everyone else has been doing that for 30 years

Cruise Control? Well of course, I'm not saying I'm new to using Cruise Control as I have used it many times before.

My point was that I didn't realize I could use the accelerator to speed up, and still have it enabled. A lot of cars I have driven with Cruise Control will disable it if you press any of the pedals, where as my Honda only disables it when you press the brake or clutch pedal.

I love to turn it on and then accel/decelerate using the buttons on the wheel. Crusing through traffic like that is what gets me "awake" in the mornings.

Yup, cars accelerate when you press the throttle while cruise control is enabled. Every car I have driven has done that from the 1986 Chevy station wagon my father had when I started driving to the 2006 Mazda I have.

I didn't realize that it happened until I did it in my jetta.

Ok, you're still missing my point.

I know that some cars accelerate with the Cruise Control enabled, but a lot of cars I have driven disable the Cruise Control even if you press the accelerator. I was just happy that mine is one of them that doesn't disable the Cruise Control. Don't worry, I don't think my car is special just because of that.

My new rimZ y0!
I also put in a new ///M gearknob and 4 airfresheners, vanilla scented!

Looks like a buggy... lower that mofo

Lol you didn't know this? You can set cruise at say, 60, accelerate above this and then when the car coasts back to 60 it will continue it's set cruising speed. Only the throttle and brake disengage it while the throttle overrides it until it's input has been stopped. And if potholes will disable it something is clearly wrong so start checking for dodgy brake and clutch sensors.

those wheels are flat white? repaint them to original silver look and polish dishes ASAP!

Are you going offroad with that rimz?

Your beemerz needz a dropz

Normally I rage when people say a car needs to be lowered. I guess this is an exception.
It really looks like it's too high Might be the wheels though.

Wheels are gonna make that thing handle like a truck, stupid decision at those wheels man... Bet you struggle to slow down on the brakes alot, but you probably won't admit that here...

RIIIIIIIICE!!



Napalm attack, take cover men!

Nice 4x4

Even if Borbet A's are popular on bimmers, I hate them. I'm planning to replace my tiny 15" BBS wheels in the future, looking for styling 5 or M parallel or Rondell 58.
Still not sure about lowering, I don't really want to do it, even if I don't like the tractor-like front. (not mine, but looks the same without tint) I would like to keep it stock, suspension-wise.

only put the paralells if its 18'' and u lower the car
