awesome yet crapy weekend

Recommended Posts

the saturday of the 16/11/13 was godd,picked up my longawaited wheels, fitted them on, looked mean.

then on sunday, on the way to maratei, whlie the lady friend was making an audi battle, trans safe falshed on dash and the car switched off. beemer got started and on the way to the garage a whining got louder an louder. there was a major leak at the bell housing..i've replaced a box for a customer with the same fault never expecting this to happen.not at 3 months of ownership.

anyway box out on monday eve, and to the trans specialist on tues. research showed that its a common fault on thee 5hp19 boxs for the bush to pack up. +- $2000 TO DO A PROPER REPAIR!!!

so decided on last friday that a manula transplant will suit the babe much more... :ph34r: .

will be uploading the build.

Those ACS wheels look great, and the ride height is spot on. What have you lowered it with?

The 3 pedals conversion will be awesome! :D

I think you'll be well impressed with the manual, after being used to the auto.

The M54 is a really flexible engine (after the vanos seals are done especially), it will pull well from low rpm (1500ish, but gets a lot better from about 2000), and is very happy to rev. They sound pretty nice too!

Wheels look sh*t hot, shame about the slush box though! Manual conversion is a total transformation of the way the car drives.
