I must say I do like the beemers i have had many E46's and i love them!!! I am currently after another to replace the charged clio! If you want to change the lump i would love to see a 2.7 bi turbo out of the audi s4 put into a gta mind you the s4 is a great car and super cheap too.

You should of sell em both an get an A610 they are pritty reliable and it is still alpine !! Result.

If you're going to get a Beemer, have you got the pastel shirt, big shiney tie and bluetooth headset to go with it?

Yes of course I will :wink:

had time to calm down now :lol:

I definately be wanting that diff and have a diff to give you in return :wink:

I beleive its the solenoid thats not kicking in properly. This is probably due to all the non starting issues carboning up the contacts.

Does anyone know if the solenoid can be taken easily apart?

not if the diff is lower youll start to use 4th easily all sixth at Gwood or at any circuit with a decent straight was getting into 4th with standard box at Odiham. More gears used the bigger the power output...one day super charged. The car iso difficult enough to drive on the limit as it is so a turbo just makes it more difficult to drive especially on the shorter box.

Plans are hatching

:wink:

Psy Andy theres a reason in dont get married :wink:
