the revs indicated look high compared to the sound, do you have a 4 pot card in the dash still?

No problem, will need tidying up and then for sale soon.
It was a 6pot m20b25 factory fitted :D

Slight blow on down pipe which will be sorting soon.
Was told that the flywheel was lightened, do not know exact particulars of weight saved etc.

Not bad, a 7-seconds 0-60mph from a standing start in 2nd, without apparently trying too hard. 8)

Maurice it could have been better in all honesty but was a quick Vid where oppurtunity arose.
will have a Wild Chip soon, My pal Pranged the front Last Night!
looks light head light, wing, and front panel need replacing.

Good work chap, the exhaust is blowing and killing the sweet 6 cylinder scream. And I think you need to adjust the valves too, I can hear them ticking from here.!

Sorry to hear that, Sean. :( Hope you get it fixed up again fairly easily...

This is just a comparison, it's our E30 325i auto in sport mode!
Looks like I better have a look at the issues with the boat anchor!!
