So, someone on here was trusting enough to let me do work for them, i know right ? ( one day you guys will get my humor ) Anyway, this wasn't a major upgrade just the comp wheel as turbine upgrade means using Chang made product and i refuse to touch them. Comp wheel is MFS ( shinny ) 50mm inducer with increase radius and tip height, Issues are they are so new very few parts can be obtained so i had to make the turbine rings as this needed oversizing as it had been leaking oil badly. Holding the comp cover is a pain due to the outlet angle so a jig was needed, disappointing things are the stock built in blow valve the hole is way to small to be effective and the turbine wheel weighs a ton or at least shooting way about what it should be for its size. End result a nice wee bolt in for those wanting a tad more without hurting drive ability and cost effect being well below 1k for my end at least.

Happy to report this car is now tucked up in my garage. It's in really great condition and i couldn't be happier.

Finally finished my turbo project, tuned up the weekend just been. All certed and road legal, this things a street beast that scares me to say the least haha.

Welcome! If your looking for something cheap that needs a little bit of work, but with potential to be special, I know where a V12 converted E34 Touring is ;o) Fuel bill might make you miss the yaris though.

Butyl Cord... comes in a roll. The dealer might sell it by the meter. Check with a panel beater. Older Audi's use it too

Can't wait to put it to the test

had a simlar unit to this a few years back , didnt mind the LHD thing after driving it for a day or 2 . only other issue with the LHD jap ones as they come with the stupid US spec low compression engine so only about 180hp instead of the euro ones we get here with 218hp the one i brought and sold was a lot less than this one and at the time there where LHD m6 models kicking about for that money.

More disassembly for cleaning and new bits...

I have a getrag 260 still in a very rusty M325i which is sitting in the middle of what has become a very swampy paddock, but it will depend on how urgently you need it as I cant get to removing it right now. PM me if at all interested. I am rural west of Hamilton though. Will

Passed a WOF. I was very pleasantly surprised!

This all points to you wanting to give the Gentle Annie TT another crack...

M5 radiator out - what a mess - 13 years of accumulated bugs and dirt... it was the original radiator so it's done well... tomorrow the front of the engine starts coming apart for clean and new thermostat, oil hoses, etc... It's had 13 years of badly aimed oil top ups by the looks...

Yea, it makes me wonder how accurate the claim of airbags having a 10 or so year life. If it were true, surely WOF would require them to be replaced seeing as they are such an important safety item? Some cars had them in the early 70's, although I dont know when BMW first had them.

'Hallelujah!' As in "Hallelujah! It runs!"

The highest mileage of the two right?
