    Thanks Team, Now that FINALLY covid, work, kids and the 550hp mk7 Golf R is finally off my hands (in terms of spending my spare time working on it) and more or less done (pending TVS tuning by E&H Motors for the large turbo as we speak), its time to make room for solely working on the 1M clone. Golf work included adding a second large intercooler, both stock position and front mount, certification work, seat belt anchor plates, new BBS wheels, new semi slicks, methanol injection etc etc. I had a forward facing intake manifold on the 1M, but some %^&* stole that from the car a while back, so a replacement has been ordered, likewise new sump gasket and bolts, while im under the car. Will take mains and rod caps off to check bearing wear while Im there and possibly replace with ACL race bearings if the're average enough. The rollcage was on T.me a while back and I couldn't but haggle and take it off his hands. Its motorsport authority certed. Ill take some snaps of the racetech seats install that's done and the rear interior striped out over the next few days. The cage is tight fitting, mostly with clearance to my head with the type of seats and seat positioning, will need some tweaks or a different type of drivers seat, In the mean time I've partially finished the headlight lens replacement alongside angel eye install. I reckon Ill be dusting that welder off this weekend and hooking back into this beast finally. That and trying to get used to how 195hp and 175kg feels like below, with carbon wheels and a full race only Ti exhaust and tune it just wants to; a) - make you deaf b) - wheelie EVERYWHERE

    Good time to be buying an m135i, prices have come down recently, can find decent ones for sub 20k now. Awesome all round car and great fun to drive! Would definitely suggest sticking to an m135i over the smaller engine ones, 6 cylinders are what bmw does best!
