  1. Thankyou for the reply both of you .. decisions to be made .. I think it’s fair to say it is a ticking time bomb especially when I will eventually want more power and seem almost silly to let it go bang when there is options there I have seen the bmw conversion kit however I like how you say in order how you rate them and that being at the bottom I mean personally I want it to have the oem feel and realistically I’m only going to get that with the v160 but that’s why it has the price tag .. I think if I go for the car then I will get it in to somewhere ASAP and sort of get the info on what it’s curretly running and look at keeping it to a minimum until a gearbox decision is made .. I mean I’m going to drive “carful” to an extent however of course I want to launch on occasions and have some fun and I won’t find it fun if the box goes bang because I’m already aware of that before even buying the car .. can either of you recommended a reputable/ knowledgable specialist who would be able to carry out a conversion to a different box ..
  2. Evening all I’m currently having a dilemma regarding a 5 speed na-t supra I have been offered I have been reading through the forums and have come across some good info however not necessarily found my answer.. So overall from what I have gathered mainly restricting this car is the gearbox exceeding around 380bhp from different forums and online I have been reading horror stories that the w58 just wont take anymore and potentially is going to give up .. I have looked at the price of 6 speed boxes and well I’m shocked at the price let alone the other kit required to make that conversion as I’m aware it’s not just straight forward ... I’m willing to spend the money if that’s the best route to go down ... Now personally for me I would be content for around a year with the power the car is running however deep down I know I will want more and that box will restrict me or go wrong .. Going through some old threads I have seen someone had made a Nissan gearbox fit and also seen mentioned about a bmw gearbox .. ??? So I suppose what I’m looking for overall is do I accept that I’m going to spend up to 8k to convert it to 6 speed manual overtime or is there other options ?? I know I could just go and buy a tt auto and not have such a headache I suppose and some money left and have some decent power however personally for me I do like this car in question ..
  3. what liter bmw coupe would you consider ??

  10. My son is currently doing plumbing at college.. but is starting a CORGI course in the summer.. 6K:O is very extreme to put him on the course has cost me £2500 and he will leave fully qualified (if he makes the effort) .. other options are .. finding someone to work with in the plumbing industry to gain experience and sometimes the course can be payed for by the employer ...under a "training grant"
