Nice upgrades. And you have a Ansa centre box combined with pretty much stock rears? Curious as to what combo that makes!

Its very quiet at idle compared to the worn out standard one i replaced.

sounds nice at 1500 and 2500 rpm, a nice low resonance.

when u accelerate it sounds great

heres the old one (no less than 10 repair patches :D)

My gold car has been parked up now, ive arranged for it to be garaged next week until i can start stripping it down
and getting it refurbished. This car has never let me down and ive daily driven it for 5 years the paint is ruined now
both front wings are rusty and it will need new sills. The bonnet has gone on my other car as the one i got with it had no mechanism
and two dirty great holes cut in it for bonnet pins.

Hey Jimbob, its Jonathan who sold you this beauty, I still love that picture of it with the bbs rs on it and the engine and auto box were so smooth, much better than the manual I bought afterwards. I'm driving an estoril blue e46 m3 these days, all the best with getting goldfinger sorted :)
