You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

BMW was a loaner from BMW on a ambassador program.

tomic was on P's and got an exception to drive it as it was "work"

got busted doing burnouts BMW took it off him and cops gave him ticket for being a hoon.

It's also a two way street...you can't expect people to respect you regardless of your position of power if you act like a jack ass. People who say "my game my rules" end up playing alone.

Which is why bosses who don't respect their employees end up with poor employee satisfaction and a high staff turn over. Do it enough and their bosses start asking questions too.

Lot of this Tomic hate stems from jealousy cause young kid with lots of money having a bitch about something...meh...I say good on him, at least he's standing up for himself instead of just prostituting his dignity away for the sake of earning $$$.

Or possibly it stems from when he was given an exemption to drive the M3 on his p's, solely as he was a celebrity and it was "the only form of transport available for him to get to tennis" and he then used it to cruise the strip every day and act like a flog attracting as much attention as possible. Then when the police showed up to pull him up for the 3rd time he refused to stop and instead drove off home and called the lawyers... but not before hiding behind his gate calling the police names, then getting on tv and accusing the police of racially profiling him...

It could also have been that...

Looked under my car when it was on a hoist

bad idea

such a bad idea

also, are AD08's still hugely pricey? like $350+ per tyre pricey?

Why not buy Ventus V3? Seem to be $250 a tyre and from all accounts grip better

After my NT05's lasted 7000kms I am now sad.

I think you just had a conversation with yourself

Entirely possible, but was under the impression ventus were waaay more pricey, like, on-par with the AD048R

Given the echo chamber that is VWL, sometimes self-conversations have the same content

why? getting expensive ideas or things not right?

if the same workshops/people work on your car regularly, soon theyll start taking the blame for everything that goes wrong ;)

Nah. Was at scottys. Found out I had 3 bald tyres (1 is brand new and just replaced, woot...), snapped/bent steering/suspension components.....again.. and my exhaust idea had to be massively revisited for another time.

I have a couple of spare new AD08Rs from the import monster AD08R bonanza but love them too much to let them go for as cheap as they did

Solid tyre even at 2012 issue or whatever they were

From what the internets says, the Hankooks go for $250ish and outperform them, the AD08R's go for something like 350 unless you find a deal.

Almost bought the guy who was selling 2x for 500 awhile back (ad08r's)

Just knew my rears were worn, but on the indicators after 7500kms on NT05's was.. yeah. I suspect the Hankooks last about half as long as the AD08R's. Hence the query about them before HWP says HEY MATE BALD TYRES OFF TO DEFECT LAND and which they would be correct to do so.

That's The only prob with NT05's

The indicators coke up reeeeally fast. The trick is to not give a f**k and drive the shit out of them anyway. I used to rock mine well past the indicators

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
