central3 31 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 I assume you did the conversion Ray - I have been told that the recode makes this difficult - any comments? Would like to discuss having the same done to my 330 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 After driving this yesterday from when it was auto (when I owned it) to what it is now (6 speed manual). Hard to explain, however it now makes it all (suspension setup etc) tie in together perfectly, the lack of weight and now the manual really brings the car into its own. You find yourself not using the brakes to compensate for a corner as you do with an auto so the car is setup a lot better into a corner and you can power on earlier. The tire sizes really help obviously. Its now a new car and accepts the limits a lot better. Turn in is sharp and reminds me of the e30. No hint of understeer and point nicely into corners (not that it didnt before just the lack of weight really makes more of a difference) Great tight true performance car now. Heel toe is so much fun in this. Coding it was fun brendon and I learnt heaps in the process. Next is converting a (not mine) e39 properly to manual Nice work ray for finishing off what this car _really_ needed and now has the crown of New Zealands top 330 (sorry think it truely deserves the crown now) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiddy 76 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Even with modest HP, with these quality handleing mods, lower auto diff ratio 3.46 and an extra cog in the middle, must be fun! Screaming out for a SC kit would say! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
