Fair enough

Hi, Sean is for s fly by wire or for cable, if cable then I will take it Andy

This conversion will give you the car you want and what BMW should have done in the first place. I have just done this to my coupe and the difference is night and day. Andy

I am in the process of changing mine for a z4 wheel, @Southernboy makes the slip ring adaptors. The z4 wheel needs some alteration but this does not look like an issue, there is a thread on here somewhere. The z4 is a dual stage air bag so if your car is made after 4/99 then it will have the...

Je suis si désolé je vais me noyer dans l'ail whoops mon mauvais Andre

Hi, from Essex

Hi, its easy just undo the hinge bolts at the bottom, and unplug the electrics from the pillar. The electrics are held on with two 8 or 10mm nuts, pull the rubber sheath off and you will see the plug. On the top of the plug is a release, gently pry it forward and up and the two halves will...

Hi pretty much, just ordered the LHD clutch line from the pedal master to the slave, the new bearing and rear seal and the running shaft the clutch bearing sits on. Is it worth getting the prop balanced, going to renew the vibration rubber anyway I have everything else including lightened...

Made a start on the gearbox swap today, the job I was most concerned about was the pedal box. True to form 15mins to remove in a stripped out car nearly 5 hours to swap in mine. It also looks like the dead rest is bigger for an auto than a manual, so will have to cut that down, no biggie it was...

@Pingu thats pretty cool.

Will be ordering one of these at the weekend, just have to measure the internal bore of the MAF. https://www.boostunited.net/fabrication-parts/pipings/accessories/5644/treadstone-honeycomb-maf-straightener-76mm Andy

@Pingu here is a vid of just that View: https://youtu.be/mjJFx99YYPc Andy

@Pingu Hi, thanks I had been reading the water drop test in other forums quite impressed that you had done the same. Looking at other data it appears a honeycomb mesh is the most efficient in smoothing turbulent flow. One criticism of the mesh BMW have used is drag behind the mesh due to the...

That would make sense into the maf but how would that be applied to the screen out of the maf. As the air exiting will have been metered, so would that make the second screen redundant? Andy

Hi guys quick question, we all know the more air into the engine the more fuel the better the performance. The engine in the z3 m52tu has been strangled by the manifold, so I have changed this and it has made one hell of a difference. So I started working out how much the MAF screens block...

So today the fly by or over london to celebrate 100 years of the RAF. I was fortunate enough to be directly in the flight path, at Chelsea and Westminster hospital, up on the top floor to watch it. The noise was as incredible as the planes, just a couple of pics, sorry for the quality...

On the plus side, getting rid of the old pipes will allow space for a scoop. This is my plan anyway, more air flow and at speed a bit of a ram effect. Andy

Bit of a hot one today, possibly too hot to work on a Z, should have been driving but heyho. So popped round to @spurs fan in a coupe to remove a gearbox and all associated parts for my manual swap. The victim was this 2.8 sporting a rather obvious nod to its smaller counterpart, Andy had...

So who could this be, enjoying the sun. Sorry about the poor pic. Andy

Today I got round to changing the cam sensor intake (a), very straight forward job. I had an engine code come up for this and had been on my to-do list, really should have changed it when I did the manifold but was not sure how hard that job was. Along with all the other lack of maintenance...
