Steve is also my go to man. Absolutely crazy the network of good people he has under his belt. Seriously seriously knollegeable too. He has my Cosworth YB at the moment for all the pre assembly machining and modifications. Andy, we will see her on the Tarmac again soon mate.

It was me who built the engine. When the block was bored the engineering company removed the oil squirt jets to allow it to be bored. They then refitted the new jets after the work was carried out. I collected the block, and the various other bits they had done and assembled the engine. I...

That turbo spools plenty quick enough. Feel awesome.

We're not all bad. ☺️

Thanks tony :)

It has an MOT too :).

Because John went to Will for the whole job and Will was kind enough to put me in the frame for the mechanicals. Will is an incredible mapper. John has absolutely NOTHING to worry about with Will mapping his car.

PM me your number I will call this evening. I still work on clios but it is part time for me now.

Depends what collar was supplied in the kit. The he early ones require welding. The half changed ones require welding The newest kit does not require welding mike

Get your cash out.

Me too mate. Getting excited now. :).

The westie is ready to come home. :) The diff is mounted in the chassis are the rear has been gusseted for extra strength. It needs a good paint but is a good job. I've had all the engine parts powdercoated too so the engine will look really smart in the bay. And also a MASSIVE...

Dextron VI long life. I brought 20L and had about 4 left over.

Don't tempt me mate lol PM me some pictures and what he's asking for them if that's ok?

That's because we are high rollers mate. Lol.

EGR Thermostat

Today's job was a simple one. The car took an age to warm up effecting the MPG. After talking to a couple of other owners apparently they should warm up really quickly. After some googling the fault was traced to this..... Took less than 20mins to swap over. I'm amazed just how quickly...

If it were mine, for the money I'd change it. Make sure you get the correct stuff tho as normal ATF will f**k it. Obviously up to you though mate. As I said, I didn't think there was anything up with mine until I changed it.

I'd do it if it were mine after the experiences of mine. Take the fill plug out at take a sample of fluid. If it's not red, it's brown, grey or black, change it.

Lots of want for you wheels! Yes mate. It's on the loom and has 3 pins. I brought this lead- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221414163570 And it plugs straight in.

Make sure you do the gear oil mate if it's an auto. I can't tell you the difference it made and I didn't think there was much up with mine.

No mate. Not on the E39. There's only a port for AUX in. I just use a fag lighter plug for charge. :)

Ay! Mikeys the man!

Today was decat day. I took the car over to a very good friend of mine Mike Edwards Motorsport who built a custom decat for the car. The aftermarket ones are really annoying as they are made as a bolt on bolt off replacement and because of the nature of the standard cats it means it comes...

Also fitted a Pipercross panel filter today And my aux lead came for the radio. It was really easy to fit as BMW pre wired my car to have one so it was just a case of plug and play :)

Did a gearbox oil change today to help keep her in tip top condition. Had to remove the sump to get to the gearbox filter too. The gearbox holds a further 10l in the torque converter and valve pack so I had to make a feed into the new fluid to flush all old fluid out. After 20seconds...

£25.00 for the Ali bungs delivered and about a 1.5hours to fit. So any garage should charge about £100 all in.

Swirl flaps need deleting, there are no tell rail signs but they can just fall off inside the cyclinder and total the engine and a smooth change on the auto box. That's about it tbh. Any one you buy, budget a swirl flap delete and an auto box fluid change.

It's not too painful on fuel mate. It's about 34 round town and 52 on the motorway, but that's before the EGR delete, DeCat and map witch will all improve the consumption.

Auto mate! I sit in far too much traffic to have a clutch and continually change gear.
