Neglected this post for a while so thought id bring it upto date!
Still got no video as the exhaust is just too loud to take it for a decent blast
Me and my misses have been using it daily over the last week or so with no real problems.
Centre prop bearing split but sorted this with a new one
Temp gauge is still running thru M50 temp sensor so is useless,but doesnt seem to get too hot,will be sorted this weekend though.
Electric fan is just to ignition on position so this will have to be put on a switch/sensor,seems to keep it well cool though!
Fitted the Z3 1.9 gear stick and it feels like standard?
It is the one from my iS so i know how it should feel,is it because im using M50 gearbox and E36 linkage?
Any other M50 guys had this?
Thinking about using a 2.8 one now?
Also the exhaust Everyone who has heard it says the same thing-leave it as is,but fook that,they dont have to live with it and carry 2 kids young around!
When i say its loud,i dont mean blowing/no backbox loud,i mean Throaty loud winkeye It sounds awesome untill the revs reach 2K then it gets a bit much.Honestly drive up the road and people 200 yards further up are turning round to see what it is:tsk:
Done a bit of open heart surgery on the Scorpion backbox.Cut it open and packed it out with Motorcycle silencer wadding,has made a bit of diference but not enough,so next move is to fit a front silencer,shame to loose a section of stainless though :?
Changed the front suspension now too,fitted the 51mm Billy`s from my iS,made a huge diference!
Already has new wishbones/balljoints/drop links fitted so feels nice and tight on the front.
Rear is still on drums untill i prepare the ream beam/disc set up from the iS with new bushes etc.
Well thats about it apart from,interior all fitted/ some new Goodyear eagles tyres(205/45/16),new rear top mounts,blacked out smillies and a few other things ive forgot!
Ill post some pics up of it soon,looks and goes loads different than when i got it about 6 weeks ago!
Will get some pics over the weekend:)
