Yeah I went up there to watch some racing, spent the day watching them swap an engine. Impressive stuff to be fair!

Another day, another middle finger up at the baguette. For the 3rd time now I've had a CV boot piss grease everywhere, usually I leave it to someone that knows what they're doing to fix it, but as I couldn't get booked in anywhere I ended up doing this myself. Oddly enough I seem to have a...

I love how quickly you get everything out of the car and checked over, definitely putting that garage to work! When I had my 330ci I was always told to keep the standard limiter as the M54B30 loves to destroy oil pumps. With your skillset would it be worth putting some form of alarm in the car...

If you hold me up you need to sell the Meg and buy a Honda Jazz. In hearing aid beige.

Doesn't really help that Ben and Simmo drive like they're all out of fucks to give...

Stainless fine thread stuff is always expensive. ALWAYS.

For reference with a quicker driver, my car on MRFs can do a 2:18, however I don't have the same amount of skill or testicular size!

Mine originally had the OEM manifold with the cat knocked out, then the standard 2nd cat, then the same Scorpion system as yours.

They sound even better at full chat!

Best part of the car tbh :grin:

Does look mega on those wheels!

It's an older Milltek by the looks of things. 2½" to the tip with a Powerflow box fitted in the centre section. At least the mid part is Milltek anyway! Got a nicer tone than the Scorpion in my opinion but I've only heard it on the dyno, as the car isn't road legal I haven't taken it for a rip yet.

Not exciting but it does sound nice. Less raspy than the Scorpion exhaust was.

Not many photos from the day but it's been a long one... So, 5am alarm to hit the road to Essex to visit Alex at AW Motorworks, lots of parts in the boot of the car ready to be fitted. I arrived about 7.40 and got the car unloaded ready to get started when Alex arrived at 8ish. He had the old...

At the moment it's just a placeholder as such. It'll be setup properly tomorrow and there's going to be more camber added to the rear to clear the arches a little. Parts of it. Now got Compbrake top mounts for more adjustability, still using the YSR uprights and shorter springs (8kg 150mm...

Suspension fuckery today! New springs all round to go with the new top mounts. Trying to go stiffer in the rear with a 10kg spring to see how that balances the car, if that doesn't work I'll go back to the standard 8kg spring. The rears are also shorter (125mm instead of 150mm) so I could bring...

@RSRowe Has Ben got any sumps kicking about from his stack of dead engines?

The beauty of lining the walls with boarding is you can use any old stuff. I used OSB chipboard as it was cheap and cheerful. It's all tied into the garage walls so it won't go anywhere. The workbench can take a lot of weight. Me and the missus were sat on it (combined weigh of probably 160kg...

I ended up panelling the far end of my garage so I could screw shit to it. The workbench is "floating" with a support under the vice, only used some cheap 75x50mm timber from B&Q and a sheet of 18mm ply to make it. My garage isn't actually wide enough for the car to go in and comfortably work...

https://gsmperformance.co.uk/product/omp-first-evo-racing-gloves-2/ One of the most common items you'll see. The OMP First Evo kit is cheapish but meets various regs. I've actually got 2 pairs because the first came up a bit small in the end. They take a few sessions to settle but I rate them.
