Careful on the A9, average speed cameras all along the way. Great road though, used to travel from Lossiemouth to Shropshire loads.

Cheers guys! Yeah there was a head on smash on the a9 on Friday, had about 20 miles of standing traffic. Did the Inverness to Applecross run today, hopefully got some good go pro footage ( and me swearing at French tourists haha)

Is there a way of removing the transfer gear from the first motion shaft without splitting the engine and box? Don't really want to have to strip down two engines to do a swap aha

Does the gearbox have to be split from the block to remove the 1st motion nut? Taking my s/c drops off my engine, and just realised the problem, with it being freshly built up... :(

Can anyone recommend a place for tracking / geo setup in the north west? Want to get it checked, as it was last done about 3 years ago..

Try almost 2 years. The last mini I drove was Lyndsey's Violet and only briefly. I thought after driving modern cars I would be disappointed but no. They still have the same appeal as they did when I first learnt to drive.

Anyone fitted a 7 port head to an MPi block? Just wondering how the alternators been mounted, tempted but I see an issue.. haha

drill and tap the block to take a bracket, have a look at the K head conversions; the MPI block is often used

Who would people recommend for an engine builder / shop? (thinking fast road 1380 using an MPi block). Wanted MED, but have a budget of about 2-2.5k max.

Think I need a sit down, just got a quote from MED. Makes a type r conversion look cheap, bugger.

I'm going to remove the EGR system, and pre cat thingy behind the turbo on a BMW E46 330D.

I've had the blanking plate for about 6 weeks but just come home from uni for the weekend. Took about 40 mins to fit, (only because it took ages to remove stuff in the way, and having a red hot engine) but I would highly recommend the effort! Discovered a leaky injector seal, but even from driving today mpg has risen about 5mpg too, which is pretty good. Pickup and torque was immediately noticeable, well worth the tiny cost of the blanking plate, wish i'd done it sooner! I dri...
