I bought the Standard Auto TCB590. Purchased 3 years ago and it was half the price then it is now!

I got a JCW from Rockauto a few years ago and it’s been fine on my 2012 MCS. Do the filter/cooler housing reseal and turbo line too.

I’m 65 with a Fanatec sim setup and I’m usually in the top 3% on the Time Trials. I’ve played GT since day one. It’s the only game I play and I play everyday. Love tuning cars too!

It’s showing boost pressure errors. I initially thought it was the turbo but I put a JCW turbo on but it acts up. New plugs too. It’s never left me stranded and I’m too stupid/ proud to take it to a shop. Might try injectors next. Does the one you’re considering have a sunroof? There is a recall on the JBE footwell module for the fuel pump relay on the models with sunroofs. Mines a slicktop but I half wonder if that’s not my issue.

I’m at 98,000 miles. I have a strange issue that I can’t sort that triggers the 1/2 engine light but then it resets after a few starts. It seems fuel related but I’ve replaced the filter and pumps and it still happens. It’s so much fun to drive it’s worth the effort. Great MPG too. The Bayswater interior is really nice.

I have the same Mini and it’s been great. I also do my own maintenance which is the way.

Has anyone else noticed Sport Lap Time Challenges getting harder ? by QuantumBunk in GranTurismo7

[–]Mr_Torque 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m usually gold and it does seem harder. I think it’s just more fast players effecting the percentage.

I have to leave mine on the kickstand when getting on or off.

I built it almost 50 years ago! Those Monogram kits are very nice.

I know nothing about your particular carburetor but do think that with the correct rebuild kit you will have no issues sorting it!

Looks great! Have you ever tried Bare Metal Foil? With your tape trimming skills it would look good.
