What did you do to your x40 today??? - Page 1005

I've done nothing really other than buy a turbo for the s40, At least nothing major can fail now and it should see the car alright to its grave, phew I can at least start replenishing my s80 funds and be back on track.

Done nothing to mine.
Not even washed it this week!
Been between -1 and 3C, so not optimal conditions in any case. :-)
Need to replace my side repeaters, as one blew yesterday. Silver tec type.
Other than that, nada!

Mine was used to help a colleague move house tonight! Filled it 3 times and I now have a sore back and a serious need for a drink.

Got it back from the garage last week after a brake fluid change so it now stops again.

Kicked its head in on the way to work for 2 days then it got low on fuel so I swapped back to the BMW which has more fuel in it.

Now sat on the driveway waiting for me to put fuel in it. Needs a wash, smells like brake pads inside too.

I need it to stop drinking its coolant, rattling its release bearing, howling its gearbox and be faster but that's not going to happen.

Was actually thinking of breaking it last night but today I wasn't so sure. I currently have 6 cars and I don't need 6 cars. If I sell the two I have for sale them Im at 4 but I don't need 4 either and the one that bugs my existence the most is the T4 because of its faults and wrong wheel drive.

3" JT tuning downpipe arrived today - It's certainly a lot bigger than the standard. Looking forward to seeing the differences.

Off to Tims on the weekend to get the lot fitted if he's got time after some more engine work

^^^^^^^ I doubt it will make much difference per £ spent on it`s own as the main restriction is the size of that turbo flange!

The boost pressure will drop when fitting and you don`t have any room left to up the boost....should fit with an adapter plate and larger turbo before you purchased the exhaust for the larger flange?

It seems that you are a tuners dream
