One better than before lol.

lol :fight::fight:

Indeed it does. Much better on motorways with that 6th gear

Presumably the ratios are shorter so does it feel quicker?

not particularly...it weighs more than a 5 speed as well

proves nothing! could have just brought and swapped a new gearknob?:wink:

bought some 2nd hand 17 inch p1 wheels off Russ to bung some track rubber on, these will hopefully go to Lepsons on tuesday for a refurb. I'm going to have them done in anthracite.
Ordered some ad08r'sfrom demon tweeks....bargain at £101 a tyre.

If anyone has some oz centre caps let me know

They'll look spot on in anthracite. Good choice.

Nice, what tyre size did you go for.....

215/45

You sure.....
Research I done over the last couple of weeks was reporting that 45's will rub the front arch liners and rear lip.
Track tyres also have a squarer shoulder with edge to edge tread so are a little wider then road tyres.

Prodrive's size was 205/45, but these are a rare tyre so the normal is 215/40

That's what i was told on p1woc

Yeh but P1WOC also told me to use 225/40, but when I quizzed them further they admitted they rubbed, those running 215/45 also admitted they rubbed, so not very useful recommending a size then admitting later they rub !!!!!

On BrianP1's ring lap you can here it....but I only noticed as it rubbed in the same place on the lap as mine on the lowered Tein's and 225/35 8x18's.

I'm sure they will be fine

wheels returned from Lepsons. I guessed on the colour and luckily its almost perfect. Waiting for tyres to turn up though

Very nice indeed!

Looks like they've done a good job :)

Very nice Tim. Look like new again.

I do believe you used it in post 140 so must be ok :norty:

Shane

Cba to count to post 140 so you probably right lol

Wheel looks good match tim surely you must be bored of it now and time to sell it back to me lol

Tells you the thread post number at the top right of your post ;)
(yours is #180)

Never noticed that eyes are going at my age cheers steve

Looking good there Tim :doubleup:

thanks chaps. If anyone has got an OZ centre caps going let me know as I need them for the refurbed 17's

baffled sump, gt headers and pink organic all fitted yesterday by Brent. Then Remap next friday with Uncle Bob Rawle.....got to go to Swindon off boost which will be fun:angst:

Nice one .

Good luck with the map & the journey down there ;)

God that'll be a long journey with no boost. I remember going up to SRR with no boost and that was bad enough. Sure it'll be well worth it though. Have you used Bob Rawle before?

Remap just for the header's ????

Yep that's what I've been told you need? You could save me a lot of money if You don't think i need it

No I haven't but it was mapped by him before.

Not saying that I don't think it needs it but it could be checked for alot less money.
It just sounds like alot of time effort and money for very little gain which may end up with little power increase and less torque compared to ported oe.

The original headers had pretty much had it anyway and certainly already sounds better.

Looking good tim paint code for your old wheel was bwa 2020 carbon black.. Paint match looks pritty spot on.

thanks jason. they are only for track wheels so pleased they are very similar to the 18's. Tyres turned up today as well after a 3 week wait:waiting:

Dave helped me fit these pf discs from alyn and all bedded in with new ds2500. thanks to you both:doubleup:

They look nice Tim :doubleup:

Shiny :)

Tim when you done your 6 speed conversion did you replace your rear diff as well .

Yes mate, I got a 2003 non dccd uk box with 63k on it. I wanted to keep my rear brakes rather than the cost of brembos so had to get the right diff to match
