Got the quietest drive I have had in over a decade in my old man's old E55 between Masterton and Napier. Not one car behind or in front until 20mins out from Napier. I couldn't believe it. Was so refreshing and relaxing.

And this is where I’m currently at, -engine mounted -gearbox mounted -driveshaft made -all exhaust/turbo made to downpipe -fuel pump mounted, new fuel lines made and plumbed -radiator mounted and plumbed -intercooler mounted and piping fabricated -wiring all hooked up-minus afew sensors -BC Coilovers welded up I will make more of an effort to take more photos and post more of my progress if there is any interest. ive still got loads of work to get this done and would appreciate any advice/help.

I see, yes the gold paint does look much fancier, if anyone is after a set I will have a used set for sale soon

Actually, just dropped the old set by accident and the heatshield and gasket just came apart. The gaskets themselves look identical. Will see if I can tidily separate the new gaskets and just clean up and reuse the old heatshields instead. Fingers crossed 🤞

Cleaning the garage out and found these! Covers for the front foot well speakers and a battery tray. I think the speaker covers are off my old M3 and the battery cover from an old sedan. Its a small miracle that the covers are fully intact and none of the clips are broken. Free for collection from Greenlane, especially if you bring the car it's going in!

Was holding on to this gear for a future project but time has come to move on, I have no time. For sale: - race prepped S50B30 (no FW) complete with intake, ecu, ews, e30 325 oil cooler. - e34 m50 sump kit - ZF S5D - e30 3.64 LSD K.Barrie extra clutch uprate med case - e36 3.15 open med case - brand new e36 mishimoto radiator This is an absolute goldmine for an e30 repower, I have extras like engine & trans mount bushings too, would love to sell the lot at once looking for $16k ono all of it, just want back what I spent over the years. Could break down and sell individually, dm offers.

Good to hear that some decent work was put into it and not a straight flip. Fair play to them on that front. Don't know if that justifies the asking price being what it is but meh. Interesting that they seem to market it being LHD as sort of a selling point? Is that a thing? Personally would have thought that it acts more to its detriment so don't really get it.

Well someone had to say it. What did Santa bring you? I got an early present of Vanos error codes - with any luck Santa's little helpers haven't dumped a bunch of bearing shells in the sump, I'm such a positive person I don't waste time with anything other than the worst case scenario :D

Got a snazzy bottle opener for to-be-built mancave, and a limited edition book about the Ford GT40.

Got a drone, my wife got the Lego Ferrari Daytona!

Merry festive days! My son got me a little Lego DB5 - good fun.

Bought the 535i...

Yeah, if you use TM then Aramex often comes out as the cheapest option on Book A Courier so lots of those items will be going on that courier. I sold a few bits on TM in the free selling offer and used Aramex for all the Shipping because of the above, and all went well. They’re not always crap, but there is a high chance of crapness being involved, which is true of just about any courier from my experiences.
