Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

A red one? We must be related.

Must admit - you don't see to many red ones on the Tubes or on the streetz

Spotted yesterday:

If i had an r35 it would be in red. The blood red they paint them in looks amazing in person.

This.

I've seen an aftermarket respray of a much more vivid red too, and it blew me the f**k away. Not even in person either, was just a photo. I don't think I could handle seeing it IRL. Would definitely need to bring a towel.

nah, had it as my desktop background back in '09 when they first came out. Wherever I came across the picture, it was at the time that respraying an R35 was a ridiculous idea for anyone to undertake as they were so new haha

Yesterday about 4pm.

Northbound on the tuggers express way a black r33 being booked by Po Po near the Zoo and a about 2km further along another car being booked by Po Po

Both police vehicles were unmarked/undercover. One was a green Ute .

I actually thought it was one of the Performance shops in Syd. Maybe Advan or something - dunno...

Might be worth having towed to ESP for $70 and put behind the gates ?

I'd hate to see any R32 GTR stripped.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      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.
