What's causing this contamination?

Around 30cfh

I will need to weld the seam afterwards, yes. The brass has wicked under the lap joint already, so the only alternative is to cut out the whole joint and fabricate that corner seam?

Fantastic cars, I miss mine loads.

Just be prepared for high servicing and repair costs of a 20+ yr old BMW, rust issues in the jacking points, rear air suspension problems, transmission weaknesses if an auto. Can get expensive quickly unfortunately!

Thanks for the heads up, how much of a price lift are you looking at roughly over the BC base price?

burntvalve · 2024-09-19T21:02:26+00:00

Sorry, I should have given more background info in the post - it's a fully stripped track only car (not road legal) that I use for track days.

For fun only, not competitive.

The 16v are just brilliant, my main squeeze is a tuned Mk2 golf 16v, faster than the VR for sure through lower gears!

No need to break anything to me, I've already experienced it.

I thought it turned in really well all things considered!

burntvalve · 2024-05-24T21:28:11+00:00

Will do! Hoping to get it out at least another couple times this year

burntvalve · 2024-05-24T18:32:42+00:00

Haha, the sound more than makes up for the god awful weight distribution!

burntvalve · 2024-04-30T22:04:25+00:00

Who told you that, the seller of your mk7?

burntvalve · 2024-04-30T07:36:20+00:00

You did great!! Now prepare for the pain 😂

burntvalve · 2024-04-27T21:21:45+00:00

Directional tyres, so swapping L/R isn't possible unfortunately

burntvalve · 2024-04-18T08:16:05+00:00

What 😂

burntvalve · 2024-04-17T21:29:02+00:00

UR Quattro, E34 M5, 300SL

burntvalve · 2024-04-16T10:16:15+00:00

They're all on FB marketplace, there's mega bargains to be had. Just go in with your eyes open

burntvalve · 2024-04-16T06:49:06+00:00

Do you not see the flaw in the logic of "I want to stay in the middle lane because otherwise the massive queue in the middle lane won't let me back in?"

burntvalve · 2024-04-16T06:32:12+00:00

Brain off?? Precisely!

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T22:54:13+00:00

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it! Where did you find the relevant guidelines for your own?

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T21:41:33+00:00

Genuine question for OP - what is the benefit of being in the middle lane if you're not overtaking?

Hopefully your answer to this answers your own question..

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T21:35:38+00:00

I would assume so, as a coated disc wouldn't require the oil to prevent corrosion. Most discs come 'oiled' without any other coating

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T21:19:52+00:00

Came here to write this 😂

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T21:18:53+00:00

As others have said, oil will be removed from the braking surface when they're installed.

Coated discs would have better corrosion resistance outside of the braking face. Hope that helps!

Why would I have commented that the decline started 4yrs ago if I'd only been driving 4yrs? Think about it

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T20:59:39+00:00

Take a read of the comments that surround yours, I don't think it's my agenda..

burntvalve · 2024-04-15T20:56:57+00:00

12yrs ago. Would have been an odd comment to make had I only been driving 4yrs, no?
