50mm V-Sprint wheel bought from here a number of years ago. Uber light, under 600g.
Good condition, few marks and some wear to braking surface. Always used carbon specific pads.
Bladed spokes and spin cycle works hub, bearings feel super smooth.
Will include an unused Corsa SC tubular with suitable valve extender to fit the wheel. Could even glue it up if someone wants.
Pickup from Waterloo or postage at cost.
£50… now £40

Lovely, cheers. It's primarily for skirting and with two kids and a dog I'd like it to be easy to clean so high-gloss oil based was my default but more than happy to use water-based if it'll be as good.
-
What's the forum approved white gloss for interior wood? I've got some water-based in the cupboard but its terrible.
-
Nice. Big fan.
Did you ever go see the Volvo?
-
Love how quickly this has escalated
-
Going to give his build thread a read later.
Very hard to value something like that. Looks like there is a lot of hours that have gone into it but no idea whether 12k is good or bad value.

Nevermind - different Pyramid Peak

Wow - I was in Aspen over the weekend where it was 18 degrees and pure sunshine. Pyramid Peak isn't that far away is it?
-
Good question - I'm reading up on options now. I find the used pricing a bit odd to be honest... starting price on ebay for a decent used one seems to be around £500 but I can get a new A-Line (ex-B75) for less than that via bike to work... maybe that's a better option.

I'm starting a new job in around 6 weeks and I'm looking for a Brompton for the cycle-train-cycle commute I'm going to have.
Give me a shout if you've got one that you are thinking of selling.

Think he's tried to sell it a couple times and never got the interest he wanted, presumably because of the engine swap and the assumption that most people make that it's likely been bodged.
On the turbo front because the m54 engine is in the e46 there are loads of turbo kits out there for track/drift conversions so I suspect not that hard.
-
This may be of interest on the e39 front
Owner lives a few streets over from me. I don't know him but have chatted a couple times when he's been out working on cars. Seems an honest enough guy.

It’s got front usb but don’t tend to use it as it’s got Bluetooth for calls and music. DAB aerial is a glass mounted one.

Few random ones
-
I’ve never had my iPhone fall off the magnetic ones (I don’t use a case if that makes a difference).
I like to try and incorporate the magnet base into the existing interior to make it look a bit more oem… like in the central (redundant) vent/speaker cover one my 944. I’m not a fan of the way windscreen mounted ones look.

Assuming the gouge out of the textured plastic wasn't your doing, 10 mins with a microfibre and some polish and I suspect that would be gone. Problem with getting anything done professionally on something like this is that you're unlikely to get anything done, regardless of effort, for much less than you quote. Its just not worth anyone's time to do the job when they can do something bigger/more valuable.

This is a great idea for the grill... I've added a thermometer to the lid of mine. I didn't think it would be that useful but I've used it more than I thought I would. When doing anything slightly larger that requires 'lid on' cooking mainly.
-
I've got a similar one but from 1994 in green. This looks like a lovely one, especially given the sunroof version's propensity to rust.
-
I've seen an increasing number of claims on twitter and car forums that there's shill bidding going on at collecting cars... absolutely no real evidence but found it interesting given the over inflated prices that stuff tends to sell for on the platform.
-
It is a price that beggars belief. I didn't realise its also not that well regarded.
Something like this is presumably subpar to the Bremin in terms of sound/functionality? Guessing yes given the price differential... but simplicity might help address the UX issues.

@Dammit - I recollect you stuck a Blaupunkt Bremen in your Porsche and rated it bar some fiddly controls/menus.
Wandering whether you considered the Porsche PCCM as well?
