2018 Winter Build Continued
Getting close to the end of this build...
Still some wiring, coding, beanie and reinstall the interior left to do, but should have this sorted on Saturday
Tonight modded and replaced the damaged bimmer life coil (no more misfires)
Put back on the under tray, wheel liners and cowl
Then spent the rest of the night test driving
Finally got behind the wheel and am totally blown away by the result
The car is completely different, sounds, different, handles different, is just amazing how this conversion has totally changed the car and the driving experiance...
Just so happy with how it turned out
Jumping in for the first time was like being back on my L plates
Fumbling around trying to work out the shift pattern and gear locations.
The sorting out where to position your feet to operate the clutch without clipping the foot rest, took a minute or two
Clutch is a mans clutch. Heavy and very quick to bite. But didn't notice the heaviness after a few minutes of driving.
Will def take a few days of driving to get use to, but the car responds instantly (not like the auto that tooks a while to wind up)
Pulls like holy hell
..... Might be because I've got use to driving the beater with 35kw hahaa
The new manual gearbox, manifold and DP, modded coils, new radiator and other bits all combine to make spcgry feel like a brand new car
Could not be happier with the end result, am grinning from ear to ear
Vince you are a bloody genius ... hands down
