Im seriously considering the SEN layout, either on 14th (with javelin track days) or 28th with msv. Any thoughts on who run a better day?

Would be great to see you and your beast. Its amazing what you have accomplished.

I may try javelin, as MSV have black flagged numerous times at bedford for 'drifting' whereas Javelin are more relaxed if you power slide out of corners lol. Will probably book up on tuesday

Would be good to meet you and obviously I will take you out in the old girl too.

So much for the family's wagon, lol. Pretty nice looking cage.

Dazza335iC · 12-13-2016, 07:52 PM

pssshhh, all that work and the steering wheel is still on the wrong side :P

Grazy_87 · 01-18-2017, 08:58 AM

First shakedown of 2017 car went really well, all the gremlins have been sorted.

dmanb2b · 01-18-2017, 09:47 AM

Looks awesome. This may have been asked before, but what digital gauge are you running in the vent, right above the shift knob? I like it.

Brother, if you're giving rides I'm booking a ticket from the States!

Love watching the keys to see the g force, haha.

Those videos are terribly motivating to get a hold of my supplier on your side of the pond for a manual swap kit...

Its an AWRON gauge buddy, not cheap mind but I think they are worth it as they are giving the numbers the car is actually seeing.

Haha you are more than welcome, I am at SPA Francorchamps and the Nurburgring in April so should get some decent footage there against some serious cars.

I can source everything needed for the conversion from one place if you need it.

Wow, this is brilliant. Just read the whole thing.

I would be very interested in buying the kit (although slightly different as it's for a 535d).

After all the programming, do you now have the dashboard "lit up like a christmas tree" like you had imagined.

KAS627 · 08-24-2017, 08:35 AM

This is just amazing!

Although I am now having naughty thoughts about a 335d drifter lol

Any pictures of the new areo?

sukutash · 09-10-2017, 09:08 AM

Any progress on a list of requirements for the 6MT swap?

Yozh · 09-10-2017, 10:53 AM

I believe Matt already has kits for this.
