    Mobil fuels - 95RON

    Ah well if someone dosent know what fuel they are putting in their car and if its compatible or not, then thats their problem. Gull even has stickers next to their force 10 saying not compatible with all vehicles and to check if compatible or not.

    Mobil fuels - 95RON

    Ethanol is the shizzle, it just seems no one understands it so it gets poo poo'd when some plonker sticks it in their car that wasn't designed for it.
  3. Done a few skids in that car when it was living in Hamilton.
  4. you seem to have a lot of question marks lol... if you have the head off, cc it with a spark plug in it. you will often find they are a bit different than what you might find on the internet.
  5. yeah alright m8 let me pick a random number out of a hat. might need to know some things first. stroke rod length combustion chamber size heat gasket thickness bore size You said something about a S50 earlier but you haven't confirmed that either. Even then you could be using different rods or oversize pistons etc. What dish size did you calculate?

    318i coupe

    So after stripping 3rd gear in the getrag 240 at taupo at dual sprints earlier this year I picked up a getrag 260 from will on here. It is a older one and so does not have the mounts for the newer style shifter carrier / arm thing. I made up some brackets to hold it but in the end I didnt like it and so I decided to mount the shifter AKG styles - but made my own. It takes the original shift lever and ball cup. I plan on putting a new ball cup in it and changing to the Z3 shifter and then make a shift linkage to suit. If I did it again I'd do it a bit differently but this is something I made up as I went and made last night. It bolts up from underneath the car, I didnt like how the AKG one mounted.
  8. After a driveshaft for a e30 to suit getrag 260, either complete or just the front half.
  9. I've got some fronts out of a 4cyl if you're interested.
  10. Depend how tightly each car is strapped down, tyre pressures, tyre compound, tyre width, tyre deflection as the suspension works and the car squats - all changes the friction. If you're doing multiple back to back runs of the same car the tyres heat up as well. There is so many variables on a roller dyno that cannot be accounted for that makes them useless for doing comparisons even on the same car
  11. Roller dyno though? Too many variables to make any real conclusion unless the numbers are way different, but if you're trying to differentiate 10-20hp then theres no point on a roller.
  12. What ever floats your boat and budget Lol. I'm bit of a horse power freak my self but there is a point in a car where it just becomes useless and being bragging rights having 1000+ hp. I'd rather have that sort of power in a jet boat where it's actually useable.
  13. Unless you want to to sideways a lot and smoke a lot of tyres I don't see much point in over 400wkw unless you're 4wd.

    E30 gravel eater

    common problem. timesert them, helicoils are crap
  15. I believe steve murch had sourced some shims for the hydraulic lifters to take up the extra slack. Solar... Just installed a 500w system on a boat. Also have built a dual axis solar tracker ( keeps panels parallel to sun), currently showing around 30% gains and usable power comes on a lot earlier in the morning and stays longer in the afternoon.
  16. Thats actually one of the upgrades.
  17. Washed up flaperon from egyptair lol...
  18. I know a mechanic at a BMW dealership who I went to school with, and I wouldn't trust them with my wheelbarrow.
  19. I don't know of a free version of ms41 flash tool, it's a aftermarket thing developed by someone else, they do a ews delete tool as well as other things. My apologies if we are talking about different software.
  20. I assume you're pirating a version of ms41 flash tool.... It's cheap, why bother? If people keep doing this the developer won't bother developing other cool software and just keep it to him self.
