Also covered by the warranty. @Ant1 Are you able to have BMW replace the bearings before it kills the engine under warranty?

Shame it's not a saloon!

I just masked mine up on the car and went to town.

Didn't @NorthloopCup supply stronger parts at one stage?

get @Typhoon to give you a hand.

Clutch and gearbox rebuild all in for £795 at BeanieSport in MK if your willing to travel 2.5 hours.

I would imagine you could probably take the hard drive out of the box and transfer the files through a hard drive caddy or something? Not sure if possible without removing the drive as BT probably lock it down.

Spoiler area? Boot wiring seals? Boot release button? Boot seal itself, washer fluid tubes? Take the car apart, sit inside and have someone pour water over the top and see where its coming from.

* Fit an aftermarket removable steering wheel :) * Some form of disklok as others have mentioned. * Hidden camera that faces the driver * High end alarm/immobilizer/tracker * Keys always far away from doors/windows * Hidden battery kill switch * Disabled/move OBD port * If key less entry block...

Really? Surely even if you went TG style and had an MDF splitter and some thin sheet steel for underneath it would be less than a wing from a big name manufacturer?

I don't know what the aero is like on the standard MR2 im guessing pretty much non-existent. A proper front splitter would make a difference along with a flat floor and diffuser. Things like that would probably make more of a difference than bolting a wing on.

Are they even reliable on 250bhp? Not sure i would even trust them on standard power haha

That's a result on the injector! Keep us updated.

Don't spoil the man maths!

Depends what the weather is like really. Some events are hit and miss in my experience.

Loctite the s**t out of it?

If you went with the standard 197 setup then obviously going to be cooling issues, if you went with a big aftermarket intercooler and Megane rad then temps wont be an issue. People use the Meg gearbox with the diff which would be my first choice. I don't think there are that many issues...

I'm sure there would be plenty of places that make custom driveshafts to your spec if you did a bit of Googling.

I would inspect the hoses going to the T pipe and make sure they are not cracked and the clamps/fittings are tight. If you just have to change the T piece it should be straight forward swap and fill with coolant. Have you got a picture? You could get the parts from Renault Parts Direct who are...

If you like the way the Abarth drives then go for that, it depends what you mean by fun. If it's out and out handling then 197, if you want something that makes a bit of noise, has some torque around town and don't care about absolute handling then maybe the Abarth would be a better choice.

I hope that's a joke.

Yer happy that it's turned out to be the cheapest option.

Need to order new carrier pins but yer should be.

Brake discs *cough* sticky carriers *cough*

Will get to the comments in a sec. I have been investigating the vibration issue a bit more on the car, turns out (so far at least) issue was with the discs, which in turn has been caused by sticky/stuck caliper carrier pins. Took both of them off this evening and the bottom ones were pretty...

Better than I thought!

You still have the S3? What's the latest with it?

I quite like that color tbf.

I would be looking at this. https://www.engine-dynamics.com/Electrical--Engine-Sensors/pid105223/cid96/Timing-Crank-Angle-Sensor-with-plug-Modification.asp The easiest way to test is is start the car and wiggle the wires around. If it cuts out or the engine note changes then it's that.

Who knows, but if the owner can get their car back then that's a result.
