Great effort I love the interior and the air box is excellent... similar to Group A GTR's no doubt where you got your inspiration from? Are you mounting the radiator lower? (I may have missed that bit).

Race Radiators in Vic are making me a shorter cross flow radiator. When I was at superlap I took a tonne of pics of the GIO airbox, and pretty much copied it

The Fuel system is now together.

Nice, im curious though, why you mount the the surge tank at the back of the car? just thinking in the event you backed it in would be about the first thing to go..

Not sayin you would back it it or anything...

it's about parralel with the tank, so there is probably more chance of the 73l plastic tank splitting, than a 1.5l alloy tank.

Main reason I did it was I wanted it behind the axel, and that was just the neatest/easiest place to put it.

photos are way to big ben. ive gone over my download limit just loading one page. homo

So every one. Ben is searching for a oil drain pipe to suit his rb20 turbo. if you have one please let hime know. he has $100 waiting for one.

I got a split dump from damo, as he has a new turbo setup coming. It was a modified batmbl pipe, so I am putting it back to standard. I welded in the split pipe from being a screamer, to plum back in

Now I just need to extend the main pipe, and put a flange on it.

Steave the roofer made 1/2 of the cover for the parcel shelf

Fuel rail, and 800cc injectors in.

Some say it took steve the roofer half a pack of ciggies to make that. hes still got 1/2 a parcel shelf. 2 doors and 2 rear quarter bits to go.

it is however far better than ben or i could do as ben cuts stuff out worse than a pre-schooler and i cbf'ed

    • 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.
