Box that big from FCP euro...I'm guessing a cam cover or cam cover gasket. Or oil pan gasket. That's 3 guesses though.

btw the car is running beautifully Tim, tune is silky smooth mate.
None of the jerky revving and crap it was doing on the Motiv tune.
Has plenty of torque and so linear it really sneaks up on you, cant wait to see what it will do closer to 20 psi

You are the master

Haha glad you're happy but it's not even close to done yet! It should drive like stock when it's fully dialled in, just takes awhile to get there

Will drop it back to Vince next Monday after a get a new rear tire fitted

We had a slow leak. I took it into Traction to get it checked out
Turns out there were a couple of nails in the passenger side yoko (thanks to the builders across the street from my place)
The internal side wall was de-laminating so decided to patch it until Traction could get a replacement 365 shipped in

Don't want Vince logging on dodgy patched rubber

Hopefully wont have any other mechanical problems to hold us up

Hey Socket,
I could be wrong, but it looks like your car is missing some m3 mirrors

Hhhmmmm now you mention it

Do you think it will look like I’m trying to go full fake M3 if I fit the mirrors? Or is it too late for that? lol

Do you know anyone who might have a set for sale?

Great endorsement Aus. What did you end up buying?

BimaExtremeRetro · 01-31-2018, 01:08 AM

Thanks for the plug sash, hope it all works out for you.

@ socket, man I have a coupe set perfect mirrors, usually a good price I would think would be about 1500 considering what they cost new. Considering the money you have spent and your contribution, il do for you once off price, 1k for the pair. Removed from 2012 comp pack, orange covers you can swap or paint. Considering the cost and fragility prefer pickup but can post.

Imho, m3 mirrors look the part in everyway. Elephant ears and the others look terrible in comparison.

How can I say no Hots

Postage would be easier but I get the concerns about damage
Can you get a price to post to 3194 ?

If you can hold em for me for two weeks I’ll transfer you the cash.

Spent my modding budget this month, so need to wait until pay day rolls around

Done man. There yours. Pm me your delivery details etc. We will send with star track air, around 20-25. If you know anyone in sydney that might work with your timing pickup would be ideal as they are delicate and worth a fortune. No shit I had a gentleman needing just the glass panel and new from bmw was something absolutely ridiculous, can't remember exactnprice but it was something like 6-700. Insane. Pm me man and I will have them booked for you. Keep up the good work mate.

e36mmm · 01-31-2018, 02:21 AM

MJ80. · 01-31-2018, 03:38 AM
