Good choice - fitted this to mine and it is easy and well worth the dollars

Mine has just had a new fuel tank. If it wants more than that it can bloody whistle.

I'm getting excited now, my car is going to look fantastic when I get the bloody door and arches sorted!

May get some lowering springs for it as a treat as well!

If I can get time off work mine's getting the dash changed (cheers Dezzy). The comfort blue interior is all coming out to be replaced by black leather - heated fronts and M3 rears, and American centre armrest.

Shouldn't be too bad. I already have oem trailing arm bushes on the shelf as I have the new front to rear brakeline and the two steel pipes on the rear arms. I have a brand new set of handbrake shoes in stock and a very tight 3:64 LSD.

Rear shocks and top mounts have about 3k miles on them, the rear springs are motorsport with only 40k on them.

Therefore I've "only" realy got to purchase the beam bushes, the front to rear fuel lines, the flexibles above the diff (which Dave the mod is looking a supplying a pair of braided) and a couple of the short steels above the diff.

the Battery is probably gonna be a few quid but I just bought the wife a Radley bag for xmas so a new bmw battery will be a pittance compared to that

Mine got rear beam and trailing bushes, some interior trim, outside window seals

Fri Dec 11, 2009 10:44 pm

full scorpion exhaust system, bbs splits and maybe a wash
