Firstly you can not compare a modern automatic coupled to a Deisel engine to a 25+ year old box design and a petrol engine. The BMW has a rev limit of what? 5.5k the Z more like 7.5. If you were at 2.5k you’d be nearly half way though the Deisels Rev range. The z32 TT has tall gears anyway, a number of a theoretical top speed on the Auto is something like 210mph, not that you’d get there. Would such labour on the engine be any good for it? Certainly should you merely exchange the overdrive gear, the kick down to a stock “third” would be interesting, when it eventually engaged. If you went to move out on the overtake it would be crap. You could look at installing a box from a more modern car, but the custom work and electrical adjustments would make it very expensive. Not a goer imo.

What happened with the black one in the end? I know it had an accident.

Agreed.

You could use the throttle cable gland on the DS.

As above. Didn’t realise you were a millionaire Gary. :lol:

I have a Competition Clutch one, good for circa 500lbft with the stock Clutch. It’s not light but it’s been very reliable. Available in the UK at reasonable cost.

I can’t remember off the top of my head but you can get a mixed pack from Halfords for a few quid, always useful.

Indeed, personally I think the 99 headlights look a bit tacky. If they were black inserts...maybe different. So over priced as well. But yes the stock halogen lamps are crap, I find a lot of far eastern brand cars have naff headlights and wimpy horns.

My money is on a faulty injector plug.

I wouldn’t be too self righteous, I almost guarantee one of your cars has Chinese made rear lights, if if it’s stamped something else. China does plastic. ;)

:lol: something like that, but Simon is still a ****er.

:lol: she’s been with Grandma since about the time you were up with yours, yeah. I treated myself to five minutes when I arrived in Cardiff. Got some work to do now though.

Can’t just let you have it can I. She’s fine, crazy running 35lb of dog bowl bashing fine, but fine. Me I’m a glutton for punishment, which will be one clearer over the coming months.

I’m having lunch now :lol: In fairness I forget about that raised bar, I haven’t had stock calipers for years, so I concede on that aspect. Yes a spacer would of been smarter and there shit Brakes anyway. I still maintain though you need anoither hobby if you’ve time to create threads on this stuff.

No, I’ve not seen the rears. All I’m saying is you shouldn’t jump on the internet and slag the guy off if all the information you’ve got is a crappy picture. It’s an assumption, there’s no fact to it. If the photo was from above, maybe you could say, but as Ive already said for all you know the logo has been removed and the face dressed in. Im not pretending the converse is true and that it’s brilliant, it might very well be shit but neither you nor I can tell that from a profile picture. Certainly not to any extent to jump on the World Wide Web and get all excited about it. I think you need another hobby.

Can you? Or can you see that he has removed the branding logo and dressed the face so it’s uniform. I can’t...

You cannot tell a thing from those pictures about the state of the caliper body.

Christ. It must be a few years since I was stood in that garage having that exact conversation with you. :lol:

Because exchanging it is not cost effective for my power goals and I’ve got two of the damn things anyway. If and when I blow the current one up, its fat pig iron arse may or may not go back in. But there’s slot of maybe in front of that.

:lol: Know what I’d rather fit. Something you can actually get tuning parts and experience for. Not that it matters because neither you nor I are going to be removing the VG anytime soon, you so less than me.

Like what? A VH45 or a VK56? Brand loyalty is an expensive way to skin a cat...

How many times have we seen the latest rumours. Been going on years.

Shame it’s not s very, im sure a friends sister had a Barbie car just like it :lol:

THat is on another level.
