...but in the entirely platonic sense
He makes the food and I fix the cars. At least that's supposed to be the arrangement. In practice, he makes the food and I make a mess cheers James

Hi Roger,
It's not the Fleabay car, but am guessing you may have followed the ever growing Sports thread? I only spotted it for sale on line last night, phoned him at 8.30 this morning, 2 miles away! My existing car takes a while to pick the back end up, but it does so eventually, need to pop a clutch in real soon so thought I would pick someting else up whilst it was off the road getting sorted, kind of takes the pressure off. I had my eye firmly set on the Black Fleabay sports...until it shot up to £425.00 with a u/s engine and no MOT and Tax... I would like to put nivo's on my 940 but I think they were around £600.00 from volvo!!! bugger that...and doubt if the German & Swedish would be correct ones for the sports?? They are still near £400.00 a pair! tempted to put Bilsteins etc on it? the Sport I bought today, has, I think got regular suspension on it...will see when I get it home, maybe tomorrow. J |

I'm not going to comment on whether or not any engine parts have gone through the dishwasher...although it's my dishwasher, so I don't know why I'm so concerned
There was a B230FK on a stand in the kitchen/diner in the old house, but this one has a double garage, so things are a little more civilised! At one point I think we had two 5-pots, three B230s and a B14 out there Actually, all bar the 5-pots are still there! cheers James

The 940 has the crappy dual mass flywheel doesn't it? Ask Dave about the nice shiny TTV flywheels with an 850R clutch...

Just a piece of advice from someone who has experience of a 740 fitted with a 4-puck 228mm sintered clutch disc in a "dished" flywheel - to get more torque handling out of the smaller clutch...go with a 240mm organic clutch, whether dual-mass based, or solid. The 4-puck sintered disc works right enough, but it'd be better suited to a race car than one driven daily, especially in town. It gets a bit bitey when hot.
I agree with Jonah that the TTV setup is probably the way to go, although a slightly heavier version might be nice for daily driven usage, especially if you do a lot of driving in traffic. Go too light on the flywheel, and it'll be a bit more prone to stalling. I notice this with my 164 with its light 'flat' flywheel. I don't know if they do different "weights" within the redblock fitment, but "light" rather than "superlight/race" might be better. cheers James

I am planning to pull it out this winter when I swap in another m90 so we'll see what state it is in and how the standard flywheel is coping.

Cam arrived a few mins ago,
Might go and put it under the better half's pillow, see if it turns her on the same way it does me....what do you reckon? Say..Foggy & Raven, ahem whats that sticky stuff on it? oh my god you, you didnt get that excited when packing it, it's Lol Jonah, thanks for your advice on the clutch, I have been waiting for someone to pick that part of my post up. Slightly confused with the options you are talking about, have heard something about the Tdi clutch? my mechanic Brother in Law told me to be careful in case it's a lot heavier...it's my daily driver, but if I do it I would like to do it right. Any advice greatly received. J |

Cant remember. It got a clean up to get the oil of but I may have missed a bit unless the bubble leaked over it. Glad it got there in one piece - I wasn't sure if I put enough protective wrapping in the box
