Wish i had more time when in Tassie, would have been great to swing by and look at the build. I would have sat there for hours talking shit :)

would have been good for you to come up to the good end of the state. talking shit isn't always a bad thing, some good ideas have come from shit talking.

nice. :) I like the buddy clubs. what size and offset are they? and can you pm me where you got them from and how much if you don't mind. :D I'm looking at more wheels for the 32 myself.

Something in those pics looks familiar, would love to come check it out sometime ben!

yes yes, you'll get some money for them.

6.4 cat back mate?.... that's .6 lighter than mine..... DAMN! lol

oh i know huuuge, your muffler must be light as. I'm hoping is will have a good note, ti exhausts always sound good. Cause sounding good is more important than anything else.

Did you happen to weigh the rear cradles? With the alloy hubs is the GTR rear end any lighter? Alsowhat Ti exhaust have you scored Marlin? My twin mufflerTi Trust exhuast is the street one which i am told is more expensive then the single muffler race exhausts...i am waiting for some dyno time to see if it makes the power i am after

More updates, adaptor plate is 95% done. Test fitting:

I got two bars out of the brake booster, and cut and shut them to work without a booster. just need to get a sleave to go over it, to double make sure it's not going to brake.

Alloy block to replace the booster, just need to find the new mounting point for the master cyinder, after changing the pedal ratio.

    • 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.
