Flol I’m lucky if I manage to get 8-10 kills per match! 😂 I’m on hardcore team deathmatch and still learning how to take a beating off 8 year olds lol

Bleed the clutch and change the oil over to redline mtl

I can supply and fit a gripper with a gripper lower final drive ratio mate if you’re interested? Can rebuild it into your original box too.

Redline mtl for road use or mt90 if it sees track work mate. Drop me a pm and I’ll be able to give you a rough idea of costings on a rebuild. 👍🏻

Nice to meet you too mate, and you’re more than welcome regards the advice 👍🏻 Gearbox looks mint now it’s painted!

All you need to do is take the vacuum pipe off the throttle body and it’ll idle.

I drove the 11/12hrs to the Nurburgring in my cup with buckets and stiff Ast’s. You need to man up. 😂

Nah 240 springs are definitely stiffer up front mate. Possibly the same poundage in the rear as a 140, but there was a noticeable improvement.

Yeah you can fit m4 lower arms as well - again, another handling improvement.

The 240 is a better handling car compared to the 140, but, the 140 can be fitted with the 240 springs which are a stiffer spring, but still retain the road compliance. It definitely improves them as we fitted some to a mates 140.

Yeah they did mate! I’ll take some pictures of what’s on the wall now when I’m back in work. 👍🏻

Lol we had those pictures on the wall in the workshop as huge art! Been replaced now though. I tried to get one, but it was too big for my garage! 😂

Fuckin hell, you were very lucky there at Galgenkopf mate with that wishbone failure! Love this thread though!

Nice!

That’s exactly how I go about doing them mate! Lol! It’s still a f**king spiteful job! Cheers!

You didn’t miss is mate. Everywhere else location wise looked/looks s**t, and that included using the cam pulley as a pickup. This works better for our application as the cams don’t have the horseshoe slot.

Well it’s update o’clock! Cylinder head is now fully assembled and ready for the shimming. Just to reiterate, I f**king HATE BUILDING CYLINDER HEADS. PIECE OF s**t COLLETS BOIL MY URINE. Now that’s out of the way I’ll bang some pictures up. Lol! Nicely lapped valves - you’re looking at the...

I'll drop you a pm mate.

Nearly correct. There’s different bearing setups in them and just to make it exciting, there’s no way to tell from numbers alone! The easiest way to tell is remove the clutch release bearing guide tube and if it comes off as soon as the bolts are out, it’s the later type. If it doesn’t it’s...

I can sort the rebuild and the service on the gripper diff @antah Let me know as I’m only in Lichfield. 👍🏻

One thing @Eddie555 won’t do is bullshit you mate. If he says it’s a really good setup, it will be 👍🏻

No what I’m saying is the car stays ‘alive’ for around 15 minutes, so it’s still monitoring all the various ecu’s and sensors. Some go to sleep sooner than others, but if you wait 15 minutes, it will have gone to sleep. You’d have to leave the bonnet open and not open any doors though, as that...

No, it’s because they don’t allow it to fully go to sleep. No need to disconnect the battery. What m5 was it out of interest? The engine failure is something I’ve seen. And when I brief test one and it flags it up on the screen, I’ll take a picture. 👍🏻

Lol - well yeah assuming it gets a kicking! You can do yeah. Loads of people do it. But it logs fault codes when things are unplugged.

We can always tell if ones been fitted with a jb4/other random plug and play box. What’s not so easy to tell is if they’ve been remapped. Some remaps are that obvious though, that the software picks it up and flags it on the system. Every brief test sends back vehicle information back to bmw...

@pule333 are you selling the old setup?

😂😂😂

Cool story. 😂

Ah right ok, yeah that’s been cross threaded then by the sounds of it. Definitely available to order mate yeah, but I don’t have the part number.

That nut is 130nm and also has loctite mate. I’ve never had one work loose and I’ve rebuilt a lot of jc5’s.
