Not that I can find for the 5 speed. There used to be for the 6 speed, however was £2k+ for a ring and pinion - regardless, I wouldn't pay that anyway. They aren't worth the investment as can't handle the power of a 3.8/4.0 for example (not for track anyway). My box is worth money 'as is' with...

I spent a while at the back end of last year getting/stripping VW/Audi transaxles (of the same gearbox code) in the hope 'the internet' was correct in the final drive/pinion being usable, but unfortunately nothing is compatible and the dimensions of the Porsche differentials are different to any...

Lots happened over winter, no original wiring left and it's pretty much at its 'lowest' weight now without getting stupid - around 1240kg. Had a shakedown at Oulton on Saturday after all the changes... It's much more fun having to work the little 2.7 hard, especially with the terribly...

It's on a 10x higher level now in all honestly 😂 Im literally just waiting on some CNC stuff arriving from China for the Porsche. I was going to do a thread, but I've spent the past few months since Oulton in November doing more major work to it and just not had the time. Everything is coming...

@Jamie86 @MarkCup @Matt Cup I can't reply in Marks thread, because cheapskate member, but I've done a few pairs of them now, both 5 speed and 6 speed. Dimensionally the cups are slightly different (on the CV end), but they use the same boot and shaft diameter, and it's a bit of work to...

Some footage from Anglesey back in August, I'll get round to Cadwell video and maybe write something up soon. Getting used to it a bit more now. Engine appears to be solid, as does pressure and temperatures.

At the moment, nowhere! When I get some time I'll start something (heading to Anglesey and Cadwell towards the back end of August). I'll update here when and wherever it may end up 👍

Correct, new engine loom and EMU Black 👍

Yeah. To be honest if none of that at the front has been touched before now, Its a huge job. This car has spent the past 10 years as a "weekend car", with enthusiast owners, however if its passed an MOT then nothing has been touched. The deeper I dug, the more I found. I always planned on taking...

I used a ROHLER kit, decent enough quality - it's not a difficult job, fine to do in-situ but it was easier with the engine out and upside down. Note the stock windage/baffle has its own 'trap' doors.. Yeah, tyres I run Nankang AR-1 in the dry, PS5 in damp/wet. Also consider this is on...

Maybe in stock form - most low temp thermostats for the 996/997 platform are 75C. I think OEM is 83C. The middle of the (highly inaccurate) gauge is 80C. Stock setup also use MAF sensor, I use MAP. However it's not relevant in my case. I simply target a specific lambda on each bank in closed...

I do it all myself - but I am familiar with BMW programming, this is a bit more complex than usual as you don't have any OEM BMW modules (just the DSC unit) so there a few things you have to do in addition. However fault code reading can be done with any tool, even your cheap dongles, which is...

For a basic start with the engine, I have: - Millers 5w50 - 997 GT3 OIl Cooler - Center/3rd Radiator - Low Temperature Thermostat - Mahle filter (spin on) with non-return valve (the original paper filter/housing does not have this). - 997 Oil Return Pipes - 2qt Deep Sump/Baffle (Takes around...

Yeah, its the MK60E5, used in most E9x 6cyl chassis. M3 units have different software, but non M3 units can be flashed with it no problem. The 4cyl models had MK60E1. The first benefit of the E5 is it has 5 internal pressure sensors, and can regulate the output to each caliper in real time (EBV...

Had a day out at Croft last week. Original ABS went in the bin beforehand. Installed a modern BMW E9x M3 based system, light years ahead. Going quicker on a dry track with AR-1 highlighted a weak point in the rear wishbone/camber bolt retaining plate (either from previous damage, age or the...
