  • I've not posted much about the BBS LMs. I have fully stripped them down, polished the dish and painted the centres in original BBS gold. Fitted new red/gold genuin BBS crntre caps. Also fitted genuin

Accelera i think. There pretty good tbh

Nice where you get them from

Did you change the VW badge on the steering wheel?

Nice wheel, but can't help thinking it really needs a Skoda badge.

Still got the VW badge haha

Thy came on the wheels so no idea.

  • 2 weeks later...

Yeah had it rolling roaded at awsome with a bunch of guys from here a few month back. 212bhp 335 pound or torque

 

 

Oh right, must be their dyno reading high ;-)

 

 

I'm thinking that 212 for a remap alone is too high

 

My pre-facelift has run 200 on Shark's own rollers, so I'd be very surprised if the facelift can make an extra 12

Well i have the graph and other briskoda members who where there on the day. Some got less that they where expecting. One guy with a yellow octy vrs cant remember his name, went on different rollers the previous week and got over 10bhp more then he did at awesome so they cant be reading high one min then a load less the other. One guy brought his barabus merc and he was getting ober 100bhp less then he wanted. You can imagine he wasnt a happy guy. Lol

Big update:

AUX belt snapped and got tangled in the cam belt, timing was 180 degrees out on the crank. Removed rocker cover and found the start of the damage. New CEGA engine ordered which has done 28k. Whilst engine is out i'm going to fit a few tasty bits to treat myself to cheer me up. Watch this space ;-)

Now for some disturbing pictures..

Oops! Bit of bad luck that....

Car looked awesome as well.

Hope you get it sorted soon

Damn! That sucks!!

  • Author

Cheers mate, nothing that could have been done. Car has always been serviced and belts changed when needed, just unlucky to snap the AUX belt, and even unluckier to take the timing too.

Bigger and better things to come though.

Unlucky pal at least you've sourced an engine. U gunna ultimate dubs

Yer man will be doing.

Tell me about it!!

Feel for you. Just going through very similar and may be looking at a new CR engine. Could I ask how much the replacement engine has set you back?
