Eibach Prolines. 100% I don't like Cooksports, but prolines are ideal for road use IMO

Just get a second rear bench, and replace it should you need to IMO. They're ten a penny, and very quick to swap. I have a few in the shed i think, all needing a good clean up, but free to collect from Chertsey if you want them.. What is it you're trying to protect the seats from matey?

That's crying out for an M-sport bumper and wheels.

If you can change brakes, you can change a clutch. As said, it's wise to have someone who's done one before on hand (even if via Facetime etc) to check a few things with.

Absolute beaut.

Sure is: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-z3m-coupe.612981/#post-8233681 Sensible guy buying that when he did (if he still owns it). Probably doubled un money in the last 5 years. lol

I can't fathom spending £800 on a phone.

Sorry, 1*2 i refer to is either 172 or 182. So the sports.

Massively. Two best things you can do to a 1*2 for me is reduce the wheel size, both road wheels and steering wheel.

If it's on the real early stages of rattling - just nurse it and be gentle and you'll get loads of life out of it.

15" make a 1*2 infinitely better to drive, tyres are cheaper and they weigh less. Be silly not to if it's going to be a track car... Common options are OZ F1's, Speedline 2118's.

Yep, £425 is cheap!

Yep, while you're fitting the heatshield, might as well chuck a new starter on. Should only be £25 or so posted.

Well played @OssPoop

SRR is known for being honest with their figures - because they have nothing to gain by manipulating them. Charlie said that a rough E46 makes 280bhp on his rollers, and a healthy/good one makes 320bhp, so i'm happy! Figure is irrelevant to me - it goes sideways when i want it to, so it's...

1*2, every time. Mainly for parts/ upgrade availability, ease of working on them. Price of spares and tyres, fuel economy etc. oh, and the gearbox won't fall apart in 30 seconds if you're not ham fisted and rush it. Be mental to go for a later one when the 1*2 is so good as a track car,

Btw, Martin, your Cayman is a beaut.

Anyone get any pics of the front plateless M3 on the rollers? My camera is dogshit, and I was too preoccupied making sure the diff didn't fall out on the rollers. :)

So how it usually works, is get there whenever, RWD and AWD go first, as the rollers need setting up differently.. Run those, then swap to FWD, and get in a queue tbh. They all get done, doesn't take long.. Pop over and say hi mate, everyone will be friendly..

Likewise with the sump gasket. If it's not leaking, leave it be. Easy enough to swap with the engine in place.

Yep, if the crank seal isn't leaking, leave it as it is. New clutch, 100%.

Yeah, i'd imagine so. I'd guess it's half possible that he's used a borescope in through either the crank sensor cutout, or in by the clutch fork, but i doubt it.

f**k knows how he can see the pins and plate without taking the box off, which is a good few hours work.

Yep, I'd love that. I'll be there early, and would be grateful for an early run..

I'm pretty sure it's still going!

Yep, most people are guinea pigs for this. in the last 15 years, we would have some evidence if it was doing anything harmful.

Gearbox doesn't change what shaft is required. It's the hubs and wishbones that do iirc.

Buy engine and clutch. Host BBQ. Invite CS. Watch the magic happen

Give @Scrooge a shout.

Cracking shape on that. Cars are nice too. (Come on CS, 18 posts FFS).
