So after the cage getting painted the engine and gearbox was dropped off for installation in March. Work up until this point was faultless. I was quoted 4 weeks until completion.

April....... Wife cancer

May........Kid sick

June...... Kid not his

July.... Separated from wife

August.... Bikies after him

September... Bikies poured sulphuric acid on his hair and my legs were broken

I genuinely felt sorry for the cnut. I have succumbed to the fact that he is mentally not there. Through my observations and from my opinion (medically based) he is a compulsive liar (only the seperation part is true) which makes it very hard to deal with. Just check out his trader thread. That has only unravelled the tip of the iceberg...believe me! . I'm not here to discredit his business even though he has cost me tens of thousands through missing parts, engine failure due to poor workmanship.

So lets move on to the awesome part ;)

I had to goto the workshop to hijack my own car with a few mates unannounced. As I have a car to prep for wtac ;p

VSPORT next stop... Brakes, suspension, dry sump sorted! Superb efforts there from Todd and Johnny

POWERTUNE to finish the car for testing.... Fcking awesome gig they run there! They do everything!!!

HALTECH - so generous with time and support and such a awesome product when understood

Justin from PROWIRE who wired the whole car up without fault on the first start!!! Drops panties bro lol

Anyway.... Shakedown was frigging awesome. Could not fault the car mechanically. Haltech setup my whole data logging trackside and once again there efforts are above and beyond.

I destroyed my front left canard yesterday collecting a witches hat under lock up but I'm still getting over the novelty of clutchless shifting :P

Boz doing what he does at TRACKSCHOOL tested the car............. Video to come .......

I can't believe it's this quick out of the box so early in its testing without any aero and on its run in tune.... And weighing in at 1420kg :P

Ur "mate" did the dash I think haha

That's right.... ur mate that sent away ur exact brakes lol

just alloy wrapped in carbon.

Shifter is a custom made extension by powertune on a pivot to give the exact same consistent throw to the holinger plus signal to the Motorsport systems strain gauge shifter. It also gives the driver a back and forward feel.... vs the easy dog leg option which gives inconsistent and weird angles of thow. All this because the seat position is at the passengers rear foot rest ;)

Mouth watering for sure!

Big novelty for me at the moment pulling that big knob...all I'm thinking of is getting to sixth and bleeping the throttle on downshifts on the peddle box. Until I'm comfortable with that ill start zoning in on my lap times :P

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      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.
