To anyone that can remember me from ages ago, I thought I'd come back and show you guys what I've been working on since christmas.

I wanted something RWD and kind of retro so went and bought an E30.

Here's some pics of when I bought it:

I've changed a few things, the main being the seats to some newer M3 seats:

So what you lot think?

does anyone know what type of performance figures teh yzf-r125 and the cbr 125 can achive, like top speed, 0-60?

are they six or 7 speeds?

really quite liking the look of these

By law, a person with a CBT cannot ride a bike with more than 15PS (German horsepower). So most of the sporty 125s are very close to this figure.

All of them can be de-restricted to about 20PS though.

I think all are 6 speed.

75-85 is a realistic top speed for them.

Not sure on 0-60 though.

Hope that helps.

and thats with cheap gear.. so its not cheap in total

True, it can get really expensive!

It's not cheap! To do mine it cost me:

CBT: £125

3 day training course: £470 (including test fee)

Then bike and gear:

Bike: £850

Insurance: £150

Jacket: £160

Trousers: £100

Gloves: £40

Boots £80

Helmet: £120

Total: £1245

But, its fucking awesome!

yea but how much is it to put yourself all the way through a bike test from cbt to full licence?

Done in weston by any chance??

Theres been a spate of i down there lately so you aint been singled out

Yeah mate, well actually in Worle.

Little cunts. Everytime I see it I get annoyed!

Subject sounds like a good idea.

I'm for movement. Motion shots rule.

Hmmm is it down to the metal Stu? From the pics looks like it might polish. (im a prepper/*almost painter*/polisher)

Alex.

It's down to the primer Alex. I'll be giving it a good polish tomorow and hopefully it will reduce it down a bit. I still think it will need something doing to it. I'm not worried about the bonnet too much as I'll be gett ing a C/F one.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Here's some pictures of what the pickey little bastard did. I know there not great pics but it's the best the poor little camera could do!

Cunts

mersea is about 20 mins away, ubes.

Bastard!

Yeah, there are a few guys around me. I'm sure I saw Glanza-Stu in Weston today.

Be good to get a few of going.

It's just a setup disk

and on the only disks it full of loads of folders.

I'm waiting to hear from the bloke I bought it off to get back in touh with me.

So annoying, each time i add a cd in EPC, in the Japanese area (e.g. A1 CD ROM) it says insert correct cd.

I'm well up for going. How about sorting out a convoy?

Sparky? Muddyell?

Anyone?

Good news!

Except for Phil, that's a long way to go!

I bought it off of ebay.

Just has 5 disks

Setup

I can install the European, but not the Japanese.

I don't mind doing you a copy Craig, just wanna get it working first! lol

Cheers

Can anybody tell me how to install EPC please?

Cheers,

Stu

Might not be the headunit mate. If you reverse the polarity (swap "+" with "-") on one of the speakers it should sound better.

Basically you want the speakers wires going to the same on both speakers. If not the speakers will cancel each other out and it'll sound flat.

Give it a try

As said before, they're not the most impossible car to afford, so not exactly something to get jealous about.

Besides my car, there was another car that got keyed too..... a wanked out paint faded old 106, and that really isn't a car to be jealous about.

Tbh, I'm gonna try and sort it myself, if it works I'll save myself £400 and if it doesn't then I would have to spend it anyway.

Just got back from the sprayers.

1st quote: £350 (estimate) £400 cash

Can see it being a T-Cut job. I'll have a look at it properly after work.

I know what you mean about the car, not hard to afford.

On my lunch break I'm taking it to a place to geta quote, I'll let you know how badly my wallet will get hit.

Last night when I got the girlfriends, I parked the car outside where I usually do and went inside.

I was inside for about 40 mins and then went out get some milk and when I got the car I found that some pikey fuck had decided to modify my car.....with a key!

I don't have pictures yet, but I'll get some up soon.

It's been scratched on the drivers side, where the Glanza sticker would all on the rear quarter and also on the bonnet.

I fucking hate pikeys.

When my dad finished spraying his car, to get a nice shine he was told to:

1: Rub lightly with 1500 wet and dry

2: Rub again lightly with 2000 wet and dry

3: T- cut

4: G3

5: Polish

Takes a while, especially when you're doing a whole car, but it was definately worth it.

Check this out.

Hope it helps,

Stu
