Nice work!

I've got an alignment, swapped back over to the road wheels, bled the brakes, finished my track tyre treatments, and washed it so it's shiny ;)

Ready to go!

Teflon wrap on the roof?

Just in case?

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

I changed my mind after not being able to get the Hawk HPS brake pads from V-Sport in time so I've ordered Remsa Pads from GSL Rallysport and will have them on the door step tomorrow.

also the LSD diff is out getting a service hopefully every things all good and I'll have them both on the car by Saturday at the latest :D

if they're anything like mine prepare to be washing your rims every week. I have found the Remsa's to produce a hell of a lot of dust..

More cracks Craig? :P

PM me a price on those diff bushes Dale. I have changed a few now, (including my car) and would like a set on the shelf I think, as the stock oil filled ones are starting to fail regularly...

I believe I stuck my hand up before you nummers.....and no the cracks have not grown any bigger in 6 years pal!...

But the centre bush is pretty stuffed so I might as well do it all at the same time. :)

so doing my last minute 100,000km servicing before the track day....

1) new oil and filter.

2) checked all fluid levels

3) high temp brake fluid and track pads and a re-bleed.

4) checked the diff level..... seeing as its new and was slightly over filled.

5) check tyre pressures and torqued wheel nuts.

6) cleaned air filter.

anything else I should be doing/looking at ???

I thought you were a little soft....the nuts on the spacer always need to be tight. Don't over tighten em like Alex always does as it makes the handling a little sketchy on the limit! :P

The turbo copped a flogging at SMSP yesterday but it's still holding on for dear life HAHA :D

tyres and brakes made a HUGE difference last years time was a 114.88 and this time (still waiting on official lap times) was a 109.17 so pretty damn stocked about that!!!

I think its time for a gearbox fluid change though.

other than that oil temps were about 115max and water temps around the 108ish I think max.

had an awesome day, and for anyone else thinking of doing a track day it's well worth it I was only 9 seconds behind the fastest car a R35 who ran a 59.96 lap time.

so all in all had a great time and i'll be going every chance I get :D

Yup, you were tearing it up yesterday, especially after we sorted those tyre pressures out ;)

1:09.14 is on Natsoft mate.

You'll have to come down to Wakefield for a Speed off the streets day sometime

      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.
