antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 17, 2012 so you sorted out that place then? or is this a different pad? Also, escort needs euro plates stat We've rented this one, 12.8mx10m not too bad. nowhere near houses - has a massive open yard since it's one of a few workshops for testing M52 E30's and sh*t. haha, Dad won't get europlates at least now it can get it's roof fixed and transmission sorted, it won't stay in reverse. It's exceptionally fun to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted November 19, 2012 New powerflex B sport (the black ones) bushes all around (thrust arm as well as sway bars F/R), new rear intergal links along with a full BMW service. Car feel very different now. Before there was a slight 'uneasy' floating feeling like I wasn't quite sure if it would stick or not when pushing hard. Not anymore. Same road. 4 days apart. Wonderful upgrade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Sooo chasing gearbox overheating issues in the 540. Ended up swapping out the gearbox after trying everything else in the gearbox cooling system. Seems one of the journals was clogged. Anyways, car now has low K engine and low K gearbox. Now has to be one of the most immaculate 540 motorsport in the country haha, Long live trouble free motoring. And again thanks to Ray for sussing this all out and having the patience to work this out with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curves.asia 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 Drove the Eferty to Newmarket with 3 other big guys in the car, the rear wheels had a 2cm clearance with the wheel arches (but thankfully we made it safely without injuries). The pipes however had seen better days than today, had to get someone off the car just to get through the gates back home :| Time to get flatter pipes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
