Scott Bent is the dude at FPH... FPA isn't looking too good on the market...

yup, 1 more design engineer here... i've got a mate at F&P HC... nice ride

nice beemer mate.... styling is wicked!

the car is on turners website... its 1 of the best examples in NZ, it was on show last year at Concourse, Ellerslie Race course.

now $1 reserve

RS4 should of been there. i think it would of won that 1.

LMAO! thats hilarious.... some of the plates are quite shocking.... but that does take the cake. you must be quite brave to have something like that on your car...

whats the difference? my idea is that the mass air flow sensor measures exactly that... and the air flow meter measure air speed then converts that to mass air flow. is that correct?

for an e36 m3 coupe smoked red/black rear tail lights tm listing, like these but for a coupe front and rear strut bars M3 LTW splitter as shown here pls pm me with prices before you order. cheers

bugger... still on the hunt...

had the VW on show there last year. was a good day. did anyone see the old school nissan fairlady, with the supercharger running of a shaft? it was a wicked bit of work.

would you sell for $650 shipped to Auckland?

Audis are making some bloody fantastic cars... wish i could afford 1

hi i have done a Megasquirt conversion on my VW which had K-jetronic, the car runs really well when warm with ITBS from a GSXR. its a screamer. i say well when warm, as with the ITBs i am not running a cold start valve, so as most cars, without that the cold start valves, are not ideal. but if its just for a track car, or project, its fine. if you have a car with a good ECU which can be chipped or played around with, i dont suggest going to an aftermarket system, as its a waste of money and time unless you want to play around with parameters... the advantages are awesome tho, as you have full control of everything and there are many outputs to run a boost soleniod, a simple on/off soleniod, or a PWM( pulse width modulation valve) so you can control the boost at different throttle/Map settings. other outputs include, traction control, shift light, radiator fan.... also, many quick Beemers like to use the Alpha N setting, which is pretty easily done with Megasquirt, however using a map sensor is much better in my opinion. the disadvantages are tuning, level of difficulty, cost, and time. like the previous post said, it is much quicker to tune with a wideband sensor. however to gain the best results a DYNO is needed, but its quite expensive. hope that helps.

mate, sounds like you're having a nightmare!

hi guys. just wondering how often these come up for sale? or if someone has some that they want to part with? not too sure, which BBS RS??? model i need, but an offset to suit the non staggered E36 M3 is needed.

the crazy boy racer market....

its made for the other market... so you really need to squint your eyes....

awesome... tks mate!

i kind of agree, for $400 how much 1on1 time do we get with the instructor?

i have not checked the COs nor did i run the car without the air box. hopefully the bmw guys can point me in the right direction, worst case scenario is me doing the vanos....

this is my understanding of the problem... when its cold the oil is thick. idle is fine. when the engines hot, the oil is thin. so its either the o rings are not sealing properly in the vanos unit. or when it gets hot and everything expands,there is a vacuum leak from somewhere. i also found a 7mm socket lying on the lhs engine mount, and a m8 bolt missing on the under side of the intake plenum. as there are 2 which hold the intake plenum in place. also the throttle cable was not fastened in place. so i think i am not the only backyard mechanic who has been fiddling with this car.

nope, but now i know what you'll be doing

nope, have put most of the bits back, will attack it after the pros say its nothing else.

engine maybe, castrol formula R 10-60 brakes dot 5.1 gearbox and diff, im not sure, but i'd say BMW have specific stuff which goes there
