So what's the plan for the new engine? Just new bearings and go again? Engine bay looks really good now, hopefully it's the last you see of it for some time!

Oulton Park - 19/9/23 It's been almost 2 years since I was last at Oulton and I've missed it a lot. Honestly one of my favourite tracks that I've been to so far and it'll take a lot to change that thought. Wet day which was going to prove interesting as I'd sold my wheels with "wet weather"...

I'm amazed at how those big ends look so damaged from such a short time with no oil pressure, just goes to show that if the oil pressure light is on, it's probably already too late! Good news that your fancy Schrick cams didn't pick any damage up!

Interesting to see a lot of weight still to be lost. Mine was 1180kg with just under half a tank, no carpets, minimal trim too. Call it 1200kg(ish) with a full tank. Mind you, weight isn't much of a concern considering you always go out together in the car!

Usually happens when people shove a camera in my face! :tearsofjoy:

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...
