Cheers fella

Just been getting insurance quotes as my current insurers said they wouldn't offer any cover until I had a reg number. I explained that I could legally drive the car to the IVA, but they wouldn't cover it. I'm not driving it there but they didn't seem to know the score at all tbh. Currently my best quote is £145 fully comp with an additional £45 for full uk/Euro breakdown, happy with that TBH

Can't remember exactly TBH, it was a long time ago. It was just off ebay. Sent him my ECU and it came back sorted, both deleted, 7krpm limiter and a remap to suit the M50 manifold

Thanks guys for the info on the ECU reprogram.

Nick/Chris, what lbs of springs did you end up using front/back and are you happy with them?

Cheers

I'd have to check but 400fr 250rr rings a bell. Too early to say if they're spot on but initial impressions are good.

I'm building a Dax Rush so the figures for the springs would probably be wrong for a Haynes...

Hi Scoommy, if you use Chrome browser, the "Photobucket embed fix" extension will sort the photo problem out for you

It should be possible to use more BMW parts (diff) and I believe others are doing just that. I used the Sierra stuff as that is what I had. Mine's only the BMW engine and gearbox. Best thing I did was source a 3.14 Sierra diff. Initially it had a 3.62, but that was all wrong and first gear was useless.

Scoomy, I'm using the same engine from a 328i. If you need any advice just ask.
