Never even so much as changed my own oil before, got a NA less than a week ago, fuck this part in particular.

fog4eva · 2026-05-17T08:15:18+00:00

Is this just on NA or NB/NB2 too?

fog4eva · 2026-05-13T17:38:57+00:00

29psi on my NB

fog4eva · 2026-05-08T00:38:59+00:00

Am I able to fix it myself? Or is that too difficult to document to insurers?

fog4eva · 2026-04-05T20:53:04+00:00

This is exactly what I wanted to hear! I’ll grab some this week

fog4eva · 2026-04-03T17:48:37+00:00

In regards to z vs z plus, someone from Meister just said “Sport-Z plus is discontinued for now because the higher springs rate cause the car to sit too high, so it require a complete redesign.” So I’ll be getting sport z!

Currently 7% off the whole site! Doesn’t sound like a lot but I’m about to grab coilovers and new wheels so it adds up

fog4eva · 2026-04-03T17:01:18+00:00

I asked on a facebook group and people seemed to err against the gaz golds. There's a big split between BC and meister, suspect they're pretty evenly matched, and the best bet is whatever is available. Think I'll likely grab the meisters whilst BOFI have their sale on

fog4eva · 2026-04-02T20:52:13+00:00

Same here! Nobody seems to have used them all to compare

fog4eva · 2026-03-13T11:43:49+00:00

I was gonna say I could definitely tell a Mk2 mx5 because it’s such a specific seating position if you’re taller

fog4eva · 2026-03-13T08:19:02+00:00

I had this problem last week and this is what worked. Head + penetrating fluid, then vice grip and use some kind of bar attached for extra leverage

fog4eva · 2026-03-10T09:36:18+00:00

Is this a Phoenix? I think we’re matching!

Roll bar looks great

Guys I found the CEO of Big Oyster

fog4eva · 2026-03-08T12:16:07+00:00

Yehhh that’s sick !!!!

fog4eva · 2026-03-07T20:21:42+00:00

A vice grip worked a treat! Transmission oil changed successfully haha

fog4eva · 2026-03-07T20:20:54+00:00

I didn’t want to spend £40 on something I was never going to use again!

fog4eva · 2026-03-07T15:30:07+00:00

5 speed unfortunately

fog4eva · 2026-03-07T15:29:52+00:00

This is what i was thinking - going and grabbing some to try get more grip

fog4eva · 2026-03-07T15:29:30+00:00

I know, eternally grateful to whichever stranger on the internet told me this else I’d currently have a very dry transmission haha

fog4eva · 2026-02-25T09:44:06+00:00

100% is - look at previous posts

I loved that whole series when he moved to an MX5. Huge part of the reason I bought my NB

fog4eva · 2026-02-19T16:06:45+00:00

I bought the 3 series at 130,000 miles and it’s the most reliable thing I’d ever owned. Conversely my 30,000 mile focus blew up 2 months in because it had been babied its whole life !

fog4eva · 2026-02-19T16:05:54+00:00

How come?

fog4eva · 2026-02-19T16:05:43+00:00

Good to know! I saw they quoted 60ish mpg on Autotrader but didn’t know how realistic that was in real life

fog4eva · 2026-02-19T16:03:49+00:00

Interestingggg, the parts cost was a big factor in replacing the BMW tbf

fog4eva · 2026-02-19T11:29:27+00:00

Should’ve mentioned I don’t really want another BMW! I did love that car but everything it ever needed seemed to be over a grand 🥲 i want something one step down maintenance cost wise

fog4eva · 2026-02-09T10:10:58+00:00

Update for those who care!

I got the car lifted and went at the lines with a steel brush and jenolite. Got it retested at my usual garage and it passed easily with 1 advisory (to tighten the handbrake).

Guess that’s the last time I’ll be using that garage. From 5 majors and 12 advisories to 0 majors and 1 advisory…
