It's Fioner! LOL :lol: We wondered where she'd gone and how she was getting on, or if the current owner was aware of V3M. Someone spotted some pics of her at the Nurburgring, possibly Tom I think.

Uber pimp indeed! I expect at 8,5" wide they have some clearance issues on a 300, but then the offset might keep the insides clear. They certainly look incredible, if they did fit and clear everything then you'd be mad to sell them!

Hmm, interesting, I didn't think the factory car got a vario system! I've found one of the articles, seems to be in french, of the same 343 turbo rally cross car as in your articles. I'll try and find the other one when I get chance.

Yeah saving gas in a vario 340 isn't really an option! They are thirsty because of the higher revving all the time.

Chris, I've got a magazine cutting somewhere of the vario rally cross...... need to find it, scan it and post it sometime.

I can understand where you're coming from, a vario system for the 360 would be cool, but it would require a lot of work to adapt the 340 system to fit, and then it would be at risk of slipping or breaking. The vario system works so well for being ready to accelerate and go when in corners etc, but i...

I feel incredibly sorry for you there chap, but to echo other comments, lets hope the thieving scum are in severe agony. I had my van stolen recently, I just wish the brake pipe had burst at 80 mph, where they'd damaged it when they ran into something. Whatever the insurance company offer will no do...

Also don't rule out the switch itself, if the right hand mirror works perfectly just swap the connectors over on the switches to confirm it's not that. Could save some time and money!

Well mate, congratulations on the baby, but sad news on the 360 being up for sale. I can honestly say you'll regret it one day, you will miss it! That is a nice car you have and it's realistic money you're asking for it considering the extra parts etc, but it's finding someone here who is willing to...

There are corners or roads that a 360 will suddenly let go on, or in certain condtions, but then most cars would too, but honestly most of it comes down to tyre choice and condition. If they are old or of a compound that doesn't work well in the wet they they will suddenly let go. The pothole will n...

From memory, I may be wrong on this one, but if you look on the inside of the car from the footwell to the back of where the fuse box is on the bulk head, so remove the cover under the steering column to gain access, there are some wires and connections that go to the fuse box the other side. They s...
