Rock Shox Domain 318 IS 2008

Rock Shox Tora

Advantages: Price, stiffness, travel, durability
Disadvantages: Average weight

Rock Shox seem to have the budget corner of the fork market well and truly cornered and this latest tora is no exception. Other manufacturers budget forks are cheap, heavy, flexy and not very pleasant to ride on but the tora blows away all these expectations. It comes in at a sensible (but no lightweight) weight, but makes up for this with excellent lateral stiffness. The travel is extremely plush for a fork in this price range and absorbs both small trail bumps as well as large drops with ease. This particular U Turn model allows adjustable travel and the fork features both V brake mounts as well as an IS disk mount. Rock Shox are known for their reliability and with regular servicing this fork should last a very long time. Simply brilliant for the money ...

Review of Rock Shox Tora 302 U-Turn 2008

Pimping-out my BMW 318iS

Advantages: Amazing control/handling of car and begs to be upgraded (is well worth it)
Disadvantages: Need to upgrade a lot of different things, so have money saved/ready

If you are going to buy this car, you need to know this: * The "i" in BMW 318iS stand for "injection" (which is good/new) * The "s" stands for "sport" * "Coupe" means "a fixed roof and 2 doors" My car's year: 1994 My mileage: 100,000 kilometers Engine: V6 - 1800cc Service problems: nothing major/expensive yet Original tires: Michellin "?" (15 X 7) Current tires: Pirelli "6000" (15 X 7) FEATURES: The convertibles are not worth buying, as they leak in water when it rains heavily. What is the point of having a roof if it leaks and can't be fixed. I also think the convertible roofs on the old 3 series bmw models look tacky. Much better to have a fixed roof and this car has a sun-roof anyway. But.... ELECTRIC ...

Review of BMW 318is Coupé

The Amazing BMW 318i

Advantages: fast, stylish, reasonably priced, climate control, cruise control
Disadvantages: usually expensive to repair

Well where can i start... the BMW 318i a truely amazing car for looking stylish but also a great car for everyday life. Also the 318i isn't slow at a possible top speed of at least 135mph! The 318i is the perfect car for nearly every occasion with a great 2.0 litre engine and stylish interior. I prefer the 318i with leather seats but this is an optional extra and isn't compulsary. The car comes with a built in cd player with six possible cds stored so quick and easy changing isn't a problem. The car comes with climate control so you can easily change the temperature to suit you. The car comes with cruise control so you can stop getting lead feet and easily relax on long haul journeys. I personally would buy this car as it is a brilliant car and you should definately think about buying this car. ...
