Will keep my eye on this. Presume it's for the RB track car to keep it nice and daily driver whilst allowing some easier maintenance and shorter ratio's for track? Interesting idea though, although aren't the boxes supposed to be worse than the 172 boxes for failing?

Nice to see it being used properly and not doing 20mph everywhere like Harpham did it in. Lovely.

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Ah fair enough. Does seem a strange issue tbh especially seeing as you had everything skimmed and tested first time round, the only variable is the head gasket really. Fingers crossed anyway.

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Got any further into resolving the headgasket issue?

Replaced my broken engine mount for a Kangoo item. Yup that is FUBAR by welshname, on Flickr

So my Kangoo engine mount turned up today so got on with fitting it. Old one off: FUBAR by welshname, on Flickr Yup that's broken by welshname, on Flickr New one on! Kangoo Engine Mount by welshname, on Flickr Looks like my other knock is the wishbone so I'll be ordering two new cup...

It puts more stress on driveshafts, wheel bearings etc but it's not that much more really

Nice plans so far. You should really fit spacers though. Car looks ridiculous once lowered on cooksports and cup shocks. Needs the wheels to fill the arch a little better.

Yeah charge them at a wall socket when they drain. They obviously take FOREVER to charge though.

Good plan! Maybe Pete will bring his car out for once.

Portable powerpacks are brilliant bits of kit. I find myself using mine more than I thought I would. Got myself a 22400mAh one from Amazon and it's done about 7 charges no worries and still has life left. Brilliant bit of kit. Charges just as fast as a wall charger too when in the quicker of...

Didn't realise it broke down en route. Those reliable BMW's eh. Car is looking great, once I've finished spending every single waking moment postponing the inevitable breakdown I'm going to have with mine I'll pop round for a catchup. Also Oli's M3 came up well after a wax...

It's what I keep telling myself to keep me sane anyway. In other news whilst trying to locate my random knock I've ripped the threaded bar out of the engine mount. Car 1 - 0 Rhys.

That doesn't include the subframe bolt that got stuck and stopped you getting it out properly the first time round ;)

That looks like terminators bellend.

I actually wrote that in my project thread! With an engine crane it'd be much faster to just whip the engine and box out together rather than the box on its own.

See, with the money thing I don't mind that. As far as spending on the car goes I consider it my hobby so to me it isn't wasted money.

First off is the car on the floor? If you've got it in the air you're just making the job harder for yourself. I just stuck a deep socket on it and a breaker bar. Didn't even bother with the Allen key in the top

If you plan on making it mint over a few years surely the stuff you replaced in year 1 won't be mint by year 3 or 4?

It's sods law that you'll damage the rack but rather than piss about with the steering alignment and possibly not lining it up correctly I'd just undo the 4 bolts holding the rack to the subframe. They are a pain as you can barely get any movement on a spanner on the top 2 (bottom two are easy)...

That's ridiculous. Absolute credit to you. I know others have said it's one of the best ph1's out there but I can't think of one that would sit higher up the list than this. Incredible.

Does the car blow a constant temperature no matter what setting you have the heater on? If so check my project thread. It's a pretty easy fix using only a couple of torx sockets and a cable tie :)

I think taking the box and engine out as one and doing it all off the car would have honestly been quicker. Only thing I can think of that would potentially bite you in the arse would be the manifold bolts.

I looked at the out the top method and I wasn't keen on it. If I ever have to do it again I'll maybe look into it

Honestly don't see the problem with reg plates online. You can see them if you walk past your car... He actually doesn't seem to have anything to hide either.

Looks wise for the car not an awful lot tbh. List of things to do is pretty big though. It's a never ending cycle! I want a cup spoiler, shorter aerial, 182 interior as mine is a LOT shabby and the 182 interior is a little fresher, ph1 gearknob, snappy steeringwheel, wheels need refurbing...

For anyone that's interested. A rough breakdown of the money spent on the car so far. Advice to anyone...Don't keep a spreadsheet.

Yeah I'll give you a shout. I'm avoiding driving it at the minute except for work until the driveshaft is sorted and I've found the other knock. Must have left something loose. It's ridiculously soft in comparison thought. Much nicer to use.
