Hi Everyone,
I will start by introducing myself as some of you may not know / remember me, I'm Wayne from Swindon, Wiltshire.
Well as the title says I've decided to buy another 8er, this being my third 8 but my first V12, its a 1991 850i in Mauritius blue.
She's in need of some TLC and I've brought her with full intensions of getting her back to her former glory over the next few years plus maybe adding a few extra little mods along the way.
First things first is for two new batteries, a complete change of all fluids with goodridge brake hoses & a full service.
I will uploads some pics when I'm able to do so but I plan on doing a before during and after.
I've joined the E31 club again

Finally a Brit with the right mind. V12 is the way -
I remember the stunning interior in your previous 8.. welcome home man!

Cheers guys, Pictures will come just once I've got her to some sort of order.

Hi Wayne, what is it with these cars
Welcome back Old mate & if we attend any meets in the future I'll let you go 1st
Just been up to the Bath area today to get a new exhaust from INFINITY EXHAUSTS check them out 1st if you need one soon as they are near to you.

Cheers Alex & Dave, I'm just doing a bit of research now, looks like magnecor 8mm are the leads are the ones to go for.
When it comes to dizzy caps & rotors etc is OEM a good choice?

I really don't know mate but I'm looking forward to getting her up to the standards you guys are at.
Got to say that the B12 style bonnet is on the list - just quite a way down.
Yeah lets try and forget that day

Ref exhaust, Its going to need a whole system front to back, I will check them out cheers
Is it a SS system?
As my 8 is a 1991 whats the MOT regs on cats?
-
Hi Wayne,
Not met you yet but the picture on your avitar was one of the ones that convinced me to get mine.
I am sure your seat at the bar is waiting.

No cats needed
8mm will fit in the holders....
Now just get the ACS Kit and wheels, paint the roof black... and we are all good to go....

I've just had the Cats back system but you aint goina need them.
Infinity exhausts have been around for 10 yrs & know everything there is to know, he even fabricated a little cross over pipe to help the 'sound' & were cheaper than my 'local cowboy' outfit!!!! well worth the drive up the M way

Ideal about the cats
Well she's currently on 3 piece OZ wheels, ultimatly would like MK Motorsprt wheels but they can take a back seat for the moment.
I've got to try and get the instrument cluster to work as all dials are not showing any info, ideas? I know you can test the cluster, I've not tried this method yet but was told by the seller its been tested and worked. He did mention a microswitch in the door??
