Sorry Kos, it wasn't my intention to be so blunt, I'd had a rough day and shouldn't have been on here.

mot failed

front flexi pipes, anti roll bar mounting bushes front, lolipop bush and all 4 rear brakelines corroded on the rear, handbrake not working passenger side. Great

went to get the screen done, couldn't do it as the new one i bought was cracked

to top off yesterday i punched myself in the nose sorting the handbrake and gave myself a nose bleed. Then to add trod in cat/dog sh!t!

Lets hope today is a better day!

Submitting an E36 for an MOT without wirebrushing and waxoiling the rear brake pipes is asking for trouble !

Rear pipes are a tank, prop and exhaust off bumache !

Post Sun Oct 11, 2009 4:03 pm

Well after 2 1/2 hours of getting wet for the most part i've done one side. Horrid job but alas i managed it without dropping the tank! i just undone the straps which lowered the tank a wee bit enough to pull the old pipe out and get the new one in!

nice and grim too

the turd in all its glory

Post Sun Oct 11, 2009 4:15 pm

ah... a fine chariot.. indeed the rear break pipes on them are a bastard.. she does look nice.. what did you give for it? iv just read your first post... not a bad price at all!!

Post Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:08 pm

Post Sun Oct 11, 2009 10:26 pm

the other side isn't quite as easy as the passenger side

thats where you went wrong mate.. they give you a map they think will do the job.. at least with the unichip they can live map it.. and its tailored to your engine... not a generic map.. or a shot in the dark lol.

an MOT would be nice for now!

the guy who has done mine had mapped more 2.8 m52's than you can shake a stick at, its a flash map with some adjustments done while i was driving it and he was playing on the lap top.

once the vanos issue is cleared up we will re map it more agressively. as it stands its seriously torquey. i can potter about in 3rd and 4th. you can slow down to a crawl in 3rd with the revs below 1000rpm and it pulls cleanly away

any way back OT for mr 13

Unichip on an M52? FFS......

But Unichip can be 'mapped' to take into account cylinders with dodgy compression, IE more spark and fuel to the lazy pots to liven them up !

Would an alpina backbox be a nice edition do we think?

Post Sun Oct 18, 2009 11:22 pm

bollocks missed out on an alpina back box by seconds on the bay f**k it would of sounded lovely

£65 thought that was a bit of a steal imo!

Post Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:48 pm
