Agree with james, You wont be going anywhere near full duty. Unless you turbo the thing or go extreme cams / vanos delete are running very high RPM. (which you cant really do on the stock pistons/rods)

I went backwards, from a 1:16.9 to a 1:17.9. Was 100% to do with my front brakes. New rotors and pads hadn't been heat cycled AND my new brake cooling just over cooling the rotor. I measured the brakes after a run and they only hit 98 degrees. Brendons where 480! .. so I taped the brake inlet holes and managed 178c but the rears were still 200 so they were gripping more. Dailed that out with rear bias adjust. was a bit of a bandaid fix. Doing turn 1 @ 200kph with near zero brakes was choice ... something I never want to do again. Ill make up some plugs for my cooling ducts.. or atleast some restrictors.

Get the car scanned to see if the O2 sensors are now out of range and throwing up an error. Cleaning may have well damaged them. Thus putting the DME into default safe fuel trim program which will run the car more rich. (uses more fuel) Sometimes an easy way to tell is if your getting black soot build up on rear bumper / tail light area more than usual.

I think alot has to do with a cars popularity. The new 3 series for example in its road form would make a terrible touring car by todays standards. Its big and heavy. Maybe if BMW used a 1 series and other manufactures used other similar sized cars. The 1 series isnt however their market focus and mass seller. The 3 series still holds that crown. I would say other car manufactures have the same issue.

I thought you were running a UUC flywheel ? which is about as light as you want to get without effecting crank harmoics.

Im trying for a 1:15 something will see how I go.

The APs are defanitely a no f**k around option. Dont do what I did and learn the hard way about correctly shimming them (centering and aligning the calipers to the rotors off the adapter/brackets) bit of a noob error on my part. Have you sourced your adapter and hat kit ? They can sometimes be around the same price as a set of rotors especailly for AP. I was actually pretty impressed with some of the stock dimensions vs stopping power. the real benefits of BBK are realised around 350mm above. Otherwise for your size maybe upgrading to a e46 m3 setup may be an option if the APs turn out too pricey? you can get some excellent aftermarket pads for them and rotors are actually pretty cheap in comparison to aftermarket.

Yea...enjoy

Best place for bushes for qaulity/price is akg motorsport

Enjoy

Yeap me too. See yas there.

At the moment new theyre 38k new and around 25-28 second hand .. This will have to drop. I suspect them falling to around 15k as the price of the vehicle drops to 30-25k mark as has happened to s62 engines/vehicles. Its just a matter of time. As for maintainence, that price drops too. My s50 isnt that bad to maintain anymore.. its a 13 year old engine. The trick is doing it yourself. And if your going to hoon around, you need to obtain these skills or have the bank roll to pay someone else.

hmmm, I think if youre going to the effort to make an s62 fit, may as well spend the $$$ on a v10. The thing for me is the sound when its running on straight pipes. My e30 with the sound of an f1 car. To hard to pass up Its 5 years away before those engines are a normal obtainible price. + it will truely decimate all on the track. Really its cheap supercar performance

I just need the engine .. anyone else want the rest of the car

"Dude, I modded my m5 today" "oh yeah what ya do" "Replaced the cars sound files with some F1 sounds, makes it feel like its got 100 more Kw" . . . how the hell did this happen. Actually I think I read about it somewhere but honestly thought it was a joke. guess not :|

Luxary car brands in NZ get a talking too from HQ to align their prices with global pricing. NZ HQ of said luxary doesnt want too because they can hold a higher margin and keep the brand exlusive. So I was told last week about a couple in particular. We just dont have the population to really drive demand on some things. It can work in our favour however, high qaulity low production runs for manufacturing for example is entirely a reality in this country where it is not in larger populous countries.

No worries Conrad, again pleasure was all mine. Yeah its defanitely one hell of a machine. I cant wait to do the photo session with the thing! Now to find a location!

There are ways you can take that graph. It shouldn't read quantity is this example, it should read competition on the X axis
