m325i

NA or turbo? or is it a rotor? i cant recall?

You keep those results oh so close to your chest. Post it I saw the dyno plots - the chip makes it worse to sum it up. Mapped totally wrong. 320i version though.There seems to be alot of positive feedback from others with 325i.

I love the badassness of the CR-X .. It could do with 50 hp extra and it would be the car I would own. With your 9k turbo budget, and your car liquidated, surely you could create this with change left over?

Dam. So you fell asleep? Do you have that disorder where you just nod off in the middle of stuff? Bet you woke up in a hurry. At least its a symetrical crash. And e30s are rated higher in crash tests? (Thats probably the ones without rust though)

Cars are like girls. Each different type has +'s and -'s. But you can rark the sh*t out of all of them whether it be a honda city, or a viper, nerdy girl with the glasses in the library or Jenna Jamison Some people dont recognise this. Mx5 is a prime example. People moan that it is underpowered, but they are missing the point.

What would the cost of say a sr20det or sim conversion run at? I know its a different animal, but i would be interested, (for when my motor blows up). Dude 200kw at the wheel is sickening! I would be worried about diff busting.

e30 lights? Thats good finding.

That doesnt seem too high. From what I have seen it would cost you more than $150 to ship here from UK, so $199 isn't that much to have risk free product in NZ.

"just tuck the bumpers dude" :thumbsdown: 170hp at the wheels?

How do i get into that industry?

Needs to be lower.

Yes true. But there is the issue of "genuine article". m325i/sports do have small options (eg. completely de-chromed) that would be difficult (and fairly pointless) to create a m325i/sport identicle to the genuine thing. Therefore although you can create an 'm325i/sport' like car, but it is not identicle. So it doesn't have the intrinsic value added due to rareness. (which is probably minimal ATM) I could put a 4age and LSD in an AE85 corolla, that doesnt make it an AE86. Oh and the pre FL m20 does go harder than the FL.... biartches.

how exactly would it not be just another 325i? its rego? So Gus, when exactly does it stop being an M car ? When anything is removed. The only difference between an m325i and 325i is what is listed above. if any of that is removed, its not the real deal anymore.If i took the engine out of an m3 and swapped it with a 1800cc engine, its not an m3 anymore. IMO it may have been 'genuine' at one stage, but if you take parts off it that made it 'genuine' in the first place, then how can you claim it is still 'genuine'? You can certainly say it WAS genuine, but now it is missing pieces that made people pay $80k for it back in the day.

respect :thumb:

who is David?

BMWorkshop told me that changing the cylinder is: A) not a straight swap probably not going to fix my problem and i have to bring it in, so they hook my wallet up directely to the bleed valve.

Where's the kit?

i always refer to bmw as beemer. bimmer sounds stupid IMO. This site, to who ever i have told, is beamersport. WTF is bimmer anyway? I thought it was natural saying beemer, as it is short for "bee-em-double you"

Sweet as. Thanks for help. Think i might go for a bigger MC, new lines, new fluid, should be good.

are the e32/e34 master cylinders effectively a straight swap?

I say this bc my brothers 318i feels like it has way better brakes.master cylinder then eh?

Not ABS. When i drive other cars, my first brake usually almost turns into a skid! They have decent stopping power, but you have to jump on them to get it. I know e30 brakes aren't the best, but i feel mine are sub-par.

kids these days

I don't like the travel my brake pedal has before anything happens. Im not after monster brembo's, but i would like more responce. I have (what i was told were) good pads, with plenty left on them. Is a fluid upgrade and replacing the leads with these going to make much difference? Do i need to take more dra$tic measures?
