That drive isn't finished. You need it block paved or you'll be endlessly picking out stones from your tyre tread.

running in service and full history and a massive folder full of receipts for everything (including fuel receipts for vpower...sad)

only occasionally park on the stones so not bothered. drugs are hidden in the recessed sleepers.

subframe was cracked as they all are... been sorted properly at the cost of nearly 10k plenty of history about the car through m3 cutters and tracking down previous owners.




'I went and picked up the photos last week. I'm not highly technical when it comes to cars, but the pics show the old cracked subframe, then pics of the new one going in. Simples

I'm glad I asked for the pictures, as it adds a bit of bulk to the history of the car. The best picture is the one showing the rear axle out. They removed a lot from the back end including back box, fuel tank, diff etc. No cheap welding job would go into this much depth!

its a revised design so one would hope not, however there are strengthening kits so i'll be getting one as a preventative measure.

Looks really good, love black with red interior. Although I couldn't have one as black cars get dirty so quickly and show any little marks.

Done a couple of trackdays in mine last month, awesome cars. Can't wait for my tyres to die though so I can get rid of the Conti M3's and get some pilot super sports on. Tyres were pretty useless on track.

Yeah it's blue, but the colour is named black, so it's black.
