What have you done to your car today?

I have only had the ABS actuate on mine once and it actually saved my bacon
Front camber on mine is 2.5, shoulder wear is normal for what youd expect on the nearside, offside is completely even.
I ran up to 2.5 on the Golf in the past and it was completely even too, in my experience odd wear comes from your toe angles.
What toe you running?
Washed the BMW today, ordered the missing reinforcement plates for the front top mounts and also the rears.
At the weekend im hoping to get the eibach springs on. to this day in not convinced ive actually got M3 springs.
Just got home, had a bit of a thrash. I so nearly got taken out by a moron in a Corsa. I was overtaking him as i exited a roundabout onto a dual carriageway. I was full beans in 2nd and passing quickly and part way through the manouver he decides to indicate to change into the lane i was in but there was nothing ahead of him in my lane or his. I was sure there was going to be contact, even when i was braking and on the horn he was still coming over. Things like that remind me why seriously violent road rage incidents occur.

Selling the ST
I joke
It is my friends and he has no room/time for it so i have said i will look after it for him and help sell it for him. Put it up side of the house now, out of the way.
Lovely looking motor, well till you look at the front and it makes you want to be sick. Goes like **** off a shovel.

Tried 0, and 17mins, makes little difference as far as I can see. I get about 10k out of a pair, with the outer 3/4 still with decent tread on.

Having a small plate just goes against the lines of the car that were designed around a normal plate. looks out of place imo

Like a hill billy smile with one tooth!!
Yeah that plate looks awful, total taste malfunction there.
Back on topic, new tyres and new alignment. Much less aggressive front end so I suspect I will find it disappointed when I get a chance to try it out on a dry road. Perhaps I can use more than a fifth of the rubber on the things though.

I was right, it is disappointing. Feels better up to lets say 7/10ths but when you start to really lean on the front end, it washes out. Also has power on understeer at low speeds. Don't like it that much, will persevere for a bit, let the tyres scrub in properly, see if it actually improves the wear pattern.
