Acquired some brand new axles at a clearance price, couldn't say no. Will install and take the existing as a 'know good' spare set

Call Kayne Barrie

Auckland, and no the other bits just went onto the car. Use Realoem.com and check the PN there. My VIN was ending in EA66308, being: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BF92&mospid=47432&btnr=18_0215&hg=18&fg=20

What are they worth, a fair price that is? I have a full OEM exhaust from my 3.0 M3 E36

M3power, Geoff steel racing have a good reputation

BMW series car? Who does the work?

Just come back from the Dyno to test the results of the recent chip install. The results are a FAIL, lost 10wkw! I will point out that the 02 sensors have also been changed since the last dyno. Disappointing, but better i know than be under some false belief. I'll now fast track my plans for 'bolt on' engine mods. Cams, plenium etc, then do a custom map. Will build a plan this side of xmas and look to implement around feb timeframes. In the mean time i'm also ordering some weight loss goodies.

true, i thought it would have been AU$100k at least.

Steve, any chance that you can post up the non edited version? I'm keen to check out your style and pace side by side with my own (cough). I did the same a few years ago with Greg Spark and its very interesting what you pick up on. With greg I was faster throu the twisties but he held more speed on crests and high speed sweepers.

nice!

Finally got around to installing the chip i purchased off ebay. Bit of a PITA getting to the ECU, but got there in the end. Test drive went ok, but its always a pretty minor gain with NA. Will re-dyno at torque shortly and compare before and after.

That $100 viewing fee is a great idea! I'm so sick of TM clowns that dont turn up when they have booked a test drive Or the TM clowns that ask questions that are already stated in the lisitng. Vent over.. PS Have you noticed that the TM clowns that ask all the questions never end up being the auction winner?

I had thought of getting the ECU chip map hard coded with a new speed limit. I'm not sure how accurate that is speed limit is thou or if you can accidentally cheat it? However if i multipurpose the car and do some track work, i'll need a separate non speed limited ECU. A possibility thou.

As you said VERY cool, but allot of work.

Looks a bit complicated for me! Looking for something more turnkey.

I have thought about a 2nd shift light which is set to the appropriate revs in 5th. Its certainly an option, however in the perfect world it would only displays when in 5th or be speed related as opposed to rev's. PS. I already have a shift light and use it extensively for shifting purposes.

Do you refer to the functionality from the 'trip computer? My 'trip computer' has been removed from the dash. Due to the Fire Extinguisher controller and also the kill switch taking that space, it would be difficult (not impossible) to refit. Perhaps a Plan C option.

Be nice if you could find that link

When you compete in targa rally you have cap your speed to 200kph, else face a fine. Watching the speedo at those speeds is dangerous, and having the Nav watch the speedo and potentially missing an upcoming coursebook warning is also dangerous. As a result i'm considering: > HUD, so i can check the speed without looking down > Digital speedo for the Nav so he can check the speed without touching the trip meter (monit T100) Note: You can display speed on the monit , but you then loose your total distance, long story... but it's not an ideal solution to rely on the Monit > Installing some speed lights, possibly a green for <180, amber 180>190, red 195>, possibly set from ODB? Anyone have any suggestions here ? Any links? A HUD is the easier option, but don't want a laggy one or a crap one

Never!

I got a quote for a UK sourced S54 race motor, 450hp 3.4 stoker. Will need to sell the house, get divorced, sell a leg and rob a bank (all of that) for that to happen!

Steve, I need more hp. What do you think? Tune the s50 or go into class 6 with a s54 or ?
