Yeh I take the key out the ignition

As its all linked via solenoids etc for boost control.

I gave £1550 for this one is which is cheap. Can't normally pick a rust free tidy example like this for less than 2.

I just undo the pinch bolt on the column and let the rack down with the subframe

Generally yes, depends if the ecu is locked or not. Some require an EEPROM change.

Picked this up fairly cheap, and local. Not my ideal spec (prefer auto, and touring.) but it'll do to make sure we like it before putting down more money on one. Spec: 2002 SE model 184bhp manual Grey heated leather Climate BMW business with 6cd Multifunction steering wheel. Cruise/auto...

Not that kind of smoke test :) you put a machine on the inlet and let it do its thing. Then if there's a leak it'll start pissing smoke out.

Smoke test it. Bet there's a vacuum leak.

Totally agree. That's why I'm not hung up on his times, he should be competitive though.

No, no build thread at all, he's not really a forum person.

You'd be correct in the guess :) He was doing 1.20's with traffic and a knackered engine at fcs! He's in the tricolour trophy as a one off this season then enters in fully next year I believe!

I know what sort of times it's doing around there, and it'll be very competitive. Won't disclose what it's doing until it's in a race on saturday 5/9. b

I need to know what it is without the cc pipe disconnected. It'll either be a sensor or the map. But at the moment it's pointing to map.

What are the readings?

Was up at Combe supporting this yesterday, seems to really go well round there!

Yeh. Support the engine with a jack and remove the mount

Could be many things! Needs diagnostics really

Little update.. Loom is all back together, @Stopherson has popped up a few times and we've had the seat rails welded in, sadly no pics of that. Meanwhile engine parts are arriving thick and fast. Downpipe parts: Turbosmart compgate external waste gate Then popped up to badger5 today as I...

Yeh I can do it, give me a call Monday if you're wanting to book in :)

Ball joint

O only issue with that place for anyone who lives anywhere other than the Midlands, for warranty, you have to return it to them. I have customers from Cornwall, how am I supposed to say to them, ah yeh that's a warranty job, but you now need to take it to The Midlands for it to be inspected!

Depends how much they pay out. If the box is £1100 (exchange from Renault) and labour is £400, but they only pay out 50% of the claim you're only £60 better off.

I've been corrected, 15%. I knew it was one or the other!

I didn't do an atw reading, but I believe dynodynamics do a flat 18%(iirc) transmission losses.

No I was basing on her saying its ph1. Body panels aren't interchangeable except rear bumper and spoiler.

Not for you, engine clutch etc is interchangeable, you just need your upper inlet as stated. Gearbox you can only use a ph1, or 172 cup which has slightly shorter gearing. This is because your dials require a speedo input from the gearbox.

In all honesty, I think he's doing the right thing and just keeping a stock bottom end for racing with, we can just bung a replacement in easily enough that way.

The build took a bit longer than I'd have liked but this was due to parts not arriving/needed, and also had a complete new fuel system. Start to finish was about a month, but that also included the gearbox being away for 2 weeks. And it was being done around other booked servicing etc.

That's a nice installation rich.

This had 2x exhaust pulleys.
