Hi Kevin , many thanks for your comments mate , must say there has been points over the last year that I doubted the car would make it to any events!
I do have a slight problem with the car and would really appreciate talking it through when you get a second, I can't find your contact no. so if you wouldn't mind calling me , number is 07802 160137.

As I regretted selling my black E30 M3, I took over this car from David last weekend. I have a few changes planned.

Mark are these 16" wheels as may have something for you when we meet up - when are you opening your BMW Museum - we might be able to set one up between us :-)

They're 17's I'm afraid. I know 16's are supposed to be better but look at them! I just couldn't resist! Museum is coming along nicely.  I went an fired up my e23 earlier as I could really use the space it's taking up. It just looks too lovely though. It's in great condition but who wants a manual 728?

Apart from new wheels & tyres, no not really.
The ECU failed so I had to replace that and today I noticed the rad has sprung a leak & the alternator bushes have thrown the towel in. I'm going to replace both tomorrow. Neil has a Supersprint exhaust that's going on next Tuesday and I think I won a Pipercross induction kit in Performance BMW an issue or 2 ago. In which case, I'll be getting that. All I want then is leather and a set of Bilsteins. Oh and a carbonfibre airbox & Alpha N.

Mark - I will have a spare radiator and also suggest getting you some poly bushes for the alternator - see you next week
The guy with the leather seats says may have a problem bringing to Gaydon for you to see but working on him

Thanks guys. I've had to do a few more jobs, now that it's getting used more regularly. As Neil mentioned, I changed the alternator bushes, replaced the rad after it sprang a leak, replaced the fuel pump damper thingy and gave the whole car a thorough inspection. As a result I have a comprehensive ''to do'' list with a couple of more urgent jobs to do.
One thing I have got, was an extremely cheap Dastek Unichip piggy back ECU, that is brand new and cost a bargain 40 quid! I am thinking of taking it down to Paul Sheppard at Circuit Motors in Chippenham. I've heard lots of good things about the conversion. Has anyone here used it?

I have, with the Rongineer RonBox, excellent conversion, not that much more power and torque (mine was up from 220 to 235) but much better throttle response....
