Get yourself in a test drive of someone who's got one already.
I'd really consider keeping it NA. If it's more speed and power you are after then get a different car in my opinion.
I always think they would've came out the factories as turbos if it was meant to be.
Got mugged off years back when I bought a cat pipe from them, sold it to me for £240 and I wasn't too clued up back then, turns out the flange was squashed on it before I even had it fitted.
Few people local I know have had issues there too when taking their cars for diagnosis and being...
Good video Mark! You have done well considering it's your first attempt.
Excuse my ignorance though but what's the idea behind the parts on the course where you have to come to a stop?
I think you are over complicating it a bit to be honest.
You need to get the olive joint chopped off, then have a piece of pipe approx 6-7 inches welded on to be used as a sleeve joint onto the centre section.
I can't remember if my but of pipe went over or under the centre pipe, I don't...
I drive mine every other week to work due to car sharing. I loathe the loud yozza exhaust and stiff suspension on the commute. The minute I step on it down a B road though it soon comes back to me why I still have this car.
You'll struggle to find a replacement which will scratch the same itch imo
Go for the stalk option. A lot have had issues with cables on steering wheel and horn buttons due to cables snagging when turning wheel.
The phase 1 stalk is plug and play.
I'm sure you could buy them new at one point from Ktec?
Dunno how much though.
Ye I fitted a phase 1 stalk to mine. Couldn't tell you what boss I have though.
I used resistors for the airbag but have since had it switched off properly using CLIP
I'd go further out and have a bit of a road trip to Welsh coast.
I used to love the drive round the mountains on the way to Aberystwyth
2 hours or so to get there, have a mooch and coffee and have a drive back.
The roads round by us are decent but they aren't decent stretches.
Bridgnorth...
I admit when I did Donny it was much more fun than when I have done Llandow, Bedford or Blyton.
I'd say I enjoyed Llandow more than Bedford, that back straight at Bedford in a clio is certainly dull! 🤣
In a 140i I imagine it'll be over quite quick though
No track is dull.
Plus I find it entertaining watching Mark push some decent machinery around the track because he knows it so well. It catches loads of people out.
