Ruby i will be done like a clown. I was supposed to do one this month but fate stood in the way!

I'm going to hit the website tonite (phillipislandridedays) and look up a date that would suit me and my studies. A friday is always better for me as the mondays are just too hectic to get back to Adelaide. At least Friday you can take your time returning over the weekend. I'm keen for a February time slot as the weather is better at the Island and winds are low. So at the moment, I'm aiming for a Friday mid February 2009.

No house or accommodation organised yet, but I've got mates over there who might join me for the day and we'll shack up somewhere ;) They mostly get out in the B2 group and me and a few others in B1. I might consider B2 considering the length of time since my last stint, and the fact I'm recovering from injury.

BTW take a ride out to lala tomorrow and watch me do my thing :banana:

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
