  1. bob homewood is in Puke near then track details below, just a note that at the kmns your car has done the airflow meter should probabaly either be repaired or replace as they wear out, Bob Homewood Motorsport Phone: (09) 238-8754 Fax: (09) 2388754 Street Address 8 Crosbie Road Pukekohe Auckland South Postal Address 8 Crosbie Road Pukekohe Auckland South regrds Hove
  2. First off they do have a distinct lack of power under 4,000 rpm, but I wouldnt worry about that too much as on the track your seldom down that low. The best thing to do is to get it tuned properly on the dyno by someone who knows what they are doing, to get the mixture right across the range. In hamilton we use tuning and performance, in Auckland I understand Bob Homewood is pretty good It will probabaly be the best $500 or so you will spend on your car, provided everthing else is up to scratch You might even find some guys willing to share comparative horespower figures Cheers hove
  3. One thing that comes to mind is that you could put another security on the vehicle for the money you have spent on it, this means that it cant be sold with no money owing on it by the finance company. You would have to be able to prove the amount spent on it if they disputed it . Also would recommend anybody else looking at buying a car should check it on http://www.vir.co.nz PS the security is loaded on the plate and vin so its no use changing the plate good luck

  15. Once you remove the old grille, beware of brittle plastic clips, it takes about 2 seconds.The original E36 grille is designed as a seperate plastic and chrome setup and these are easily seperated to pull the grille out .Once thats done it takes about 1.5 seconds to put in the new one . Overall its a 5 minute job Cheers hove

    TURBO E36

    I believe the motor they sold at Mosen went into an E30 M3, the beauty of buying an engine from a wreck is you get all of the bits , Computer etc as well. As to losses, the bat RX7 (non turbo ) I ran last year had 225Hp at the engine and 189 at the wheels depending on the car I suppose you might loose 20%to 30% from engine HP Talking to Jim Boult at Puke in the weekend running a 3 liter one series in production class he has this motor producing 195Kw on the dyno standard and reckons with higher octane fuel they run in europe they produce an 205KW it certainly was quicker than the type R integras. anyway whatever you decide to do have fun Cheers Hove

    TURBO E36

    Most aftermarket kits run 6-8 PSI either super charged or turbo, once you go over that you need to reduce compression and be able to adjust the fuel and the ignition, this means and aftermarket computer and major dollars.If you intend to run it at power for any lenght of time you also need to remove the heat, aftermarket radiators and interoolers and oil coolers again big bucks. The most effective (dollar wise) way to get more power is a bigger enginesay out of a wrecked car. The new 3 litre BMW engine puts our about 195KW (250HP) and is very light Mosen spares in hamilton sold one out of a Z4 recently for $6k Ithink , plus relaibility would be awesome cheers Hove
  20. looks like our gearbox has pretty much shat itself , anybody have one at a reasonable price. let me know 0275924817
  21. Becuase manuals are so hard to find you might want to condier this car http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=69087989 and coverting it to manual cost at a guess would be between $1000 TO $1500. we converted our race car from auto to manual and the job was pretty straight forward providing you can find a maunual donor car or conversion kit Cheers hove
  22. sorry still tryng to figure out how to upload a pic, obviously adding an attachemnet doesnt work, any instruction appreciated otherwise email me with you adress and I will send them ceers Alex
