  1. @Ron, yeah the racks are a nice touch, really easy to put on and off too. Like you say though they really howl on the motorway, driving it with the sunroof down isn't pleasant.

    Can you send me a link to the engine Info you've found? Cheers

    Didn't realize there were wheels in nz, ill keep my ear to the ground, super keen to get a 17" set.


  2. Not sure about those power figures, I'm pretty sure the source for that was from an engine that had lots of

    supporting mods.

    From here though it says "E36 320, 323, 325, 328/ E34/ E39/ Z3 - +29~37ps/ 6800rpm"

    I assume it's just going to be similar power figures to what the US guys get when they put M3 cams in their M52s.

    Either way more than I was expecting


  3. I've been looking for an E34 for quite some time & after a sale fell through I decided to keep my

    money & cert my current car (well that was the plan).

    Cue Montreal Blue E36. It was advertised as a "Kelleners" tuned car & my interest was piqued.

    The ad mentioned the car having the K1 Sport Kit, consisting of cams, ECU tuning & suspension.

    Needless to say I was pretty dubious, but a short test drive left me wondering.

    Fast forward 3 weeks & the car is now in my possession.

    The first thing to address was the question of it it really was what it was advertised as.

    So on Saturday morning I ripped off the valve cover and grabbed my digital calipers.

    Found it to have Schrick cams and the ECU to bear the Kelleners name.

    Pics can be found here

    So overall pretty stoked, and kinda annoyed that there's little to no information out there on Kelleners cars.

    I've a lead that says that the heads were ported and polished too, in time I'll have to investigate.

    The plan at this point is to manual convert it, transfer the LSD from my other E36 over,

    fix the interior headliner, fix the drivers seat recliner, look into rebuilding the shocks &

    replacing the exhaust and headers with M3 parts.

  4. Next time I'm at Zebra parts I'll have a look, though they say there's non in stock there's atleast two. Both had interiors in very good condition. Also one had double glazed? windows, like the rear quarter had been smashed and it had another layer of thick glass under it that hadn't broken.

  5. Translate.Google.com

    Will translate the whole page

    Up until things don't translate well when we're dealing with German. "Abstimmung" apparently directly translates to "vote" but really means "tune". German translates REALLY poorly, especially when dealing with colloquial language on a forum.


  6. So I bought a new car and there's the possibility (not holding my breath) it's got Schrick or similar cams. Is there anyone who has the knowledge / time / tools to measure the duration of the cam once I've pulled the valve cover off (assuming it looks different from factory)?

    Is there anyone out there with specific knowledge of German tuning companies from the 90's? Either that or I need a translator, German forums are hard to decipher :huh:
