Quoted me 320 pounds, for about a 15hp gain over a K&N filter with stock pipe which is pretty decent for a bolt on. I kinda want to see pictures of it, hes really cagey about it. Im dubious, and if its 320 pounds for some 2" alloy pipe segments welded together would be less than impressed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shipping was expensive too and plus vat. Price was reasonable pre shipping/vat 😂 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1942 Report post Posted Saturday at 11:19 PM Wasn't a scam. She's not that bad. Def new clutch. $3k for a manual 130. I'm happy. Now what to do with it. Do I steal its box for the race car and N55 the E34. Or do I just beat on this at the track. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2077 Report post Posted Sunday at 05:20 AM I suspect N55 would lunch the box pretty quick? Stick a valeo SMF kit in it, fix it up and make it pretty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a built 6spd here I should use for that. We may put it around the track for this year's time trials at Manfield instead of the 200sx. Will get some photos of its condition when I see it.

Driftit 1942 Report post Posted Tuesday at 06:20 AM (edited) Picked the manual 130i up today. It's pretty neglected. One NZ owner. Typical NZ A-B owner that has done the minimal it's entire life. I do have a ton of receipts for it though. It is the grubbiest BMW I have ever been near. Thick grime on all surfaces that you would touch. I went through about a dozen wet wipes just cleaning the gear knob. Yuck. Clutch is gone but I was able to drive it over the hill without it slipping much. Will decide if I go single mass or dual mass once I decide what I will do with it. Paint is neglected to hell. I did a quick spot check to see how it would react to some cleaner wax and it came up not too bad. So will cut and polish the car. There are dents and some shitty paint from a cheap repair on one of rear quarters. Car has been sunbaked so I will replace a bunch of common trim bits. Standard oil leaks. Needs a new steering wheel badly. But other than that there are no vibrations, suspension is better than my white ones. Engine seems responsive. Good deal for $3K. It's the black one BTW. Good from a far, far from good. Edited 18 hours ago by Driftit 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
