No problem 👍 I'm sure all who try it will be pleased with the results. Re the sharpener, I took the lazy option and have the ones with string you pull and the paper (instead of wood) then uncoils/unwraps.

I cant imagine the chap covers his reg every time he takes it out on the road

Here's a little trade secret that not many know about. I can tell you 100% fact this method is used by manufacturers on brand new cars with scratched plastics. The secret: a black China graph pencil. Just quickly done this now to show the results. Before: Then draw a line over the scratches: picupload Then rub with your fingers until it blends and the excess rubs off:

I was on a 60mph empty road.. so I thought. Huge long straight then a bend at the end of it (that I knew well). .. by the time I get to the end, there will be no cars around the corner.. there wasn't.. but there was a stationary tractor. It didn't end well. Be aware of what you can't see, as well as what you can see is my advice. I will say regards to esc off (or "dynamic") in my old car (e90 m3) the car was much more responsive without esc on fully so I can see the train of thought.. nothing to do with YouTubers. I be less inclined to turn it off on a 4wd car though.

Your right, revo don't have a tcu tune for the 7 speed (I enquired back at the same time as my ecu map in December).

I think we all gave up the right to criticise another car on its engine note when we joined the forum. 😆

That really isn't the case, having previously owned an e90 m3, I can say there isn't that much shared between that and an e90 335i (engine aside), there almost different cars Pretty much every body panel is different, the only ones that were not, were the boot lid and front doors. Undertrays, arch liners, suspension arms, sub frames, diff, brakes, suspension, the list of upgrades just goes on and on. It'll be the same for the G8x.

My 2p (things I have tried/done to drop the insurance): Add a couple of older relatives with good no claims onto the policy as named drivers. Put the car down as being parked on the road instead of a garage.

Just so you are aware, that list is not complete. Says that my nearest one is 116 miles away, when I know there is one <5 miles away from my house.

A year or so ago, After hearing things about different parking locations affecting insurance I tried it on comparison sites. The same car/details but only changing the location of overnight parking. .. anyway, what I heard was true (at the time) Most expensive to least expensive was: Garage Driveway On street parking. It only varied about £30/40 but still, the wrong order you'd expect so I think youd be fine declaring it.. if its only temporary then is it needed though?

Welcome! What do you mean by "should I add a waste gate straight away"? There is already one that is part of hot side of the turbo... 🤨

Mine was from a seller called "K8 Store" although they all look like the same one, black anodised with a green O-ring.

I bought one from alli express. Not fitted it yet though. My findings: I have access to an x ray machine so have checked for defects in the metal - none to report.. Looks like its been machined to a fairly good standard.. nice machine finish even if you can see slight marks from the work holding tool that was used. Cant comment on dimensions as I haven't removed the old one to compare yet. Anodised finish is a bit thin on the corners But acceptable. So basically, if it fits, its good to go!
