I think out of all the ones I’ve rebuilt, I’ve only ever seen 1 that was a 130 box in a late 172, and that was the original box.

Strongly doubt it’ll be a 130 with bolted in diff mate out of a 53 plate.

330D Msport plus Pro nav Extended interior light pack Visibility pack Power sockets Panoramic sunroof Factory fit tow bar (never been used!!) FBMW SH I’m sure there’s other stuff on there I’ve forgotten as well.

Yeah it can cause issues with the xdrive if the variation is too much, but having said that, I’ve only seen one transfer box that’s fucked. Seen 2 front diffs fucked though. It’ll get the mperformance splitter and black kidney grilles and that’s your lot. There’s things that can be done to it...

Oh 100% mate. Roll on Saturday!!

It’s a 330 mate. The 335 are all Xdrive and that don’t float my boat. Where’s the fun with 4wd! Lol

Bmw wanker more like it! ? Ah happy days mate. Yeah they’ll Have some nice metal in at Sheffield.

Nothing to update here. The AG hasn’t moved since FCS...... But in other news, I’m picking this up next Saturday. Lots of power and torque, and plenty of comfort and toys ?

I’ve done some messing about funnily enough. Never driven a car with one fitted though.

Have you checked to see if it’s got a current mot on it?

A mate of mine is going there for the auction. He’s potentially buying a Mexico that’s going through.

Flol!! Mk2 turbos are comedy gold!

I’m waiting for you to start posting your muscle beach photos like I see whenever I appear on Facebook! ? Good to see you back posting on here mate.

It will be a proper cup race beam mate. They changed the rear beams on the latest spec cars, and these had the additional plating and welding. Or at least that’s what I’ve seen on those cars.

We don’t get those sorts around here I’ll have you know! It’s a respectable area! ? Yeah no worries mate. Oh yeah that’s a must I think! I’ve deleted them all now, even though they’ll be in the WhatsApp chat. ‘Ooh ‘ello, me again! ?

The ‘scrap’ will be ready for collection as of Monday evening mate. And yes, yes you should have bought the gripper in the first place. But, having said that, there’s no way we would’ve had as much of a laugh from my videos with choice words about the product and their business manner! Flol! ?

You need to wash the car again to remove the dirt it will have picked up from the drive home and overnight.

Depends on if it’s the Evo rear beam. They had extra welding and plates to reduce twist - essentially the same theory behind a rear arb

No spare time unfortunately and I don’t lend my tools out.

They’re in the block mate, so you’ll never see them unless you’ve got the head off. Some return oil back to the sump and some allow the crankcase to be depressurised.

1) Are you sure he’s fitted the crank seal properly? They’re notoriously easy to install incorrectly as the face of the block isn’t on the vertical, so the seal needs to stick out at the top. 2) Fit a catch tank and see if it fills with oil to see how much crankcase pressure you’ve got. If it...

The sensible choice I have to say. ?

@Daniel get in here quick! He’s on the ropes about the springs and spacers, so nows your chance to get him to go for white wheels as well!! ?

They do look so much better lowered and spaced mate. Possibly slightly harsher ride from the springs, but I’ve never driven a 200 on standard cup pack suspension. From what I’ve read, most people say it’s neither here nor there though in terms of harshness. Mine drives fine though.

Could this mean yours is potentially going to be lowered and spaced if he comes back with answer ‘yes mate’?!?! ?

Cut the crank sensor bracket off your box and mount it on the engine. Start it and see if it runs ok, but I doubt it’ll have damaged it tbf.

That’s the taper roller bearings for the mainshaft that’s let go. Most likely at the diff end. They always fail. I imagine it’s been rumbling for a while now and finally let go.

Fuckin goons.

@Jamesgsi1983 ANY performance cams for an n/a engine won’t work due to valve overlap etc in a forced induction engine. Forced induction engines don’t need the same things as a n/a engine to make horsepower. The standard cams work the best in that scenario. You’re trying to chase the impossible...

I’ll keep you both posted.
