Ahh, much better! :D

BIG thanks to me mate Dave (randomdave). We were on it till gone midnight... Not much more to do now! Can't wait!

I'm sat at work at the moment, waiting for him to either ring me to tell me its done, or to go blatting past, making all sorts of disturbing noises! :twisted:

We've decided to keep my 1.6 diff in it for the time being... I just wanna burn off my mates sport a couple of times!! (BTW if anyone has a LSD they wanna sell me, let me know!!)

Well it wasn't as straight forward as I had hoped, but its done!

Got it home friday night. Needed a new oil pressure switch as the one in it was leaking out oil. The mounting bracket for the AFM was different, and the water bottle for the radiator needed mounting, so these had to be welded on.

Still running on 1.6 brakes though, so will need to upgrade asap.

Shaz - Well interested in your LSD, just need to wait till payday, as this has wiped me clean out of reddies! What sort of price were you looking for?

My last car was an e34 535i, and I missed the noises of a straight 6 when I got the 316. I'm well happy now though :D

Here's some late night shots of me and daves beasts!
