Hi Yeah I have fitted one and it changed the feel of the car completely and removed the scuttle shake. IMG_1259.JPEG I believe that they have done a recent redesign which makes it more flush to the sump. I run -20mm on the standard sport suspension and have had no problems with impact when driving H...

Hi That is seriously impressive work - what a build!! Thanks for the detail, specifically on the diff which was really useful Could I ask where you got the nut and bolt full packs from in the post around a year ago? I've been re-coating my old ones and some are too far gone and not available at BMW ...

Hi Since I am now staying at home for the next 4 weeks I decided to get the car out of the garage for the first time in a few years to sort some of the rust I was aware of in the front foot wells. After digging around it’s a little worse than I originally thought. There appear to be 2 additional pan...

Thanks, Paypal sent

Hi

I need offside rear quarter panel for chassis number EB66361. I can get it collected it deliver isn’t an option. Also not sure if the inner arch is available still?

Thanks

Chris

A little bit more in to do with what is planned and what the specification will be when completed. Engine wise I have a M52 B28 engine that has had the required changes made (EWS delete, M50 Manifold and the wiring changes) by DanThe. I have also bought the parts to utilise a Z3 steering rack to mak...

Hi

Thanks for that, originally they decided not to work but may have been the idiot at this end of the PC using the wrong link. What other options other than Photobucket are available for hosting and will work on this forum?

Thanks

Chris

For some reason the pics aren't showing, I'll have a look and see what I can do......

Now working..... the idiot at this end had copied the wrong link over....

Then welded in for all of the sections in the scuttle. Not been an expert in this it took me a whole day to complete the scuttle and the 8 patches. You can see the process in the next 6 photos”¦. http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae174/Chrisstubbs5/IMG_1621_zpslcjhxoll.jpg http://i969.photobucket.c...

I decided to get a scuttle from a breakers that was delivered along with a few other goodies. I used the donor scuttle to replace the sections from the original that needed to be completed and also used it to set the welder up for sections. http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae174/Chrisstubbs5/IMG_1...

Well after 4 years and various things holding me back from having a good go at continuing with the car and getting it to a state of repair that I was happy with I now have some free time and my weekends back so I can continue. The car has mainly sat for the last 4 or so years with the odd weekend he...

Hi

I'm trying to get together the last few parts of a re build. When I started it was possible to get a fitting kit from BMW but they tell me that is no longer available as they can't find it on their system.

Is there another source for this kit or any other options?

Thanks

Chris

Make sme laugh everytime I go past the house. back then he refused a huge amount on principle ihe didn't want the road there and it was an additional £6million to go around like it is now. I have to agree there are always accidents there espcially where 4 lanes become 3 at the top of the hill coming...

Hi

Yep good here too, paid money to his bank account and he delivered them when he said, all parts as he stated and worked well.

Thanks

Chris

Hi

I dont know weather you have sorted this out yet.

Have you checked that your fuel pressure regulator is working correctly? If not and it is stuck shut the pressure from the pump will be pushed through the injectors, and in turn provide a very rich mixture?

Hope you find it soon

Chris

Hi I'd love to know more! Do you just bolt the engine up to a big electric motor and spin it round at maximum revs? Its bolted to an eddy current dynamometer, basically it controls the speed by providing an opposing force; so you hold the engine at 3000rpm and alter the throttle position which enabl...

Hi Thought this might be of interest to a few of you. Usually setup and test large diesel engines but this came through the door last week.. Mapping for a rally car, we do the setup and run in and a motorsport company come and do the mapping.. 240 Crank HP on a standard engine, next stage is a set o...

Hi

That was from BMW, its the only place that its availlable.

Thanks

Hi

I had to replace mine 3 years ago. Including the seal it was £229, which was less that I thought from the dealers. There were only 5 left in existance I was told then. If you do get one make sure you go in a big car the box is stupidly massive.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Been a bit busy over the last few months but finally got back to the car and started fabricating and welding in the repair panels. Started with the front inner arch that needed some attention, so cut a few pieces out and made a new section. First Section cut out.. http://i969.photobucket.com/albu...

Hi Please excuse the long update.. It’s been a while since I last uploaded any pictures and work that has been done. I have now stripped both sides of the car and the interior, and hope that the majority of the rust has been found that needs to be repaired. There are some parts that I need to remove...

Hi Finally got some time of work over the weekend and took the boot, bumper and interior trim out of the way, to reveal a faily solid body. Firstly with the bumber out of the way I stripped the rear driverside arch back to bear metal to make sure nothing was hiding, and all there is are two little b...

Hi Well there had to be some failry major rust somewhere and I think I have found it, I removed the wings which are perfect and the front bumper and the front valancefell to pieces, there are huge chunks missing and the rest you can push your fingers through. It looks like a bolt on piece and doesn'...

Well seems this is quite a good shell, I have taken out the carpets, dash, etc and have now had a good look at the bulkhead and floor sections, and under the door. Need to do the passenger side but will have to move the car over to do that, just hope that side is just as good, all that is needed is ...

Hi Been having a good look round on here for the last few days, and I have now removed the carpets and the floor and bulkhead is perfect. The dashboard is now out and other than the rust around the windscreen the rest of it seems fine. Going to remove the bumpers and kit at passenger side and cross ...

Well managed to remove the sideskirts and I though that there was going to be a real mess behind them, but they are not 'that' bad, it will keep me busy a couple of nights this week... http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae174/Chrisstubbs5/BMW/20130126_134436_zpse1ef73cf.jpg Rear Archs aren't too bad...
