not many options when they start to dull down in the brightness department. nothing fits,and cleaning doesnt help either.the reflectors crap out with time and heat cycles. best would be to buy new ones.BMW will be expensive,but they are a common size for 'off the shelf'(hella) at repco etc.not a 100% if the chrome ring will fit back on,but its a start m

thats something i'll pass on

As title, anyone going to this event? need afew folks who can push cars taking the 537t for a run,just in case it doesnt make it back m

ahhh,Grant. havnt heard that name for while.whats he upto these days? anyone?

sorry,should maybe have asked- any planned up grades. i would recommend not more then 6-8psi,simply cause the risk of the head gasket becoming oblong shape

before i give an answer, we will need some more info. in essence, yes boosting is fine upto a point.<8psi as it is. compression ratio? changing the head gasket to a MLS? boost level aspirations? HP goal? limited or limitless budget? Head studs or factory bolts? alots of combinations are possible of the info/Q's above. folks love to lower the CR to 8-8.5 to boost upto 20psi. personally, I'm not a fan of that as its possible to keep a higher CR with alittle less boost. the results are really in the hands of the tuner.

greenhouses still have plastic on them,what a relief. not much sleep last night-too much praying. enviro computer had recorded wind speeds upto 100K's+ and sustained round the 85 now to clean up bonnets and other plastic bits that the wind managed to pry off the line up out back only good thing is,the shed/hanger has the underfloor heating.its working now so nice toasty warm concrete and 20c to work on the turbo sounds inviting m

a simple small sheet if ali cut/bent to size and screwed on the the cover should work as a heat shield effectively

looks tidy enough. you get the big thumbs up from marty good luck with the next phase

fabic stuffed,foam bolster no the best.blue and black checkerd.camera dead

as title,it looks althere. $20 and its yours m 021 438 735

k-sport are based in GB,try to get a big brake set up.8 pot front and 6 pot rears.pendin on your wheel size. 18" 356mm/17" 330mm ali roters and calipers while your at it,bring me a set over as well. stick all heavy stuff on snail mail,20$+ a kg over, on the plane is pricey

RHD headers would be a good.fritz... somebody

doing an awesome job, If your keen on some doors,i got some. have PM'ed

could do,some sort of bov.but i'm leaning to spend alittle more on the dyno and tune at this stage of the day. backfires arnt really a problem on injected engines,if setup right. `

or, ditch the steering box and fit a rack an pinion off an e30/e36. good results i'm told

in the shop now,wont be too long before its back on the road. might make some mild alterations to the runner length while its there. its easier when its off for a reason

so what your saying is; (or i'm hearing) I should buy a super cheap e34,e32. clean it up.insure it 3 times the purchase price/market value and drive according to the law. soon enough you'll be making money. i should know,worked out like this twice now. i love it when guys are up my date,for no good reason.alight tap on the brakes,and the problem goes away rather quickly m

glad your happy with them. would have been good to talk to you in-person,missed you by 10min. fighting traffic and lost.Sharon looked after you ok? m

correct, backfired back into the intake manifold. throttle closed,so made its own hole to escape. havnt started to remove it yet

as above,plus could boost way higher then planned.boost climbs exponationally with rev's. but it would be fun. can you record it if you do decide to go this path? like to know what happens m

didnt know that the headdeck is/was from audi.its the same as me dads a6. not that means anything.D's screen's crapping out.so back to audi land again for touch-ups

triple-rota turbo,gets my vote most days. GL

hissing,either a cracked intake boot or the the fuel regulater doing its work. have you checked the dizzy.could have crap build-up on the points or condensation,leads to misfire. 2yrs of sitting,fuel gone crappy? changed/cleaned the plugs maybe the last thing,maybe the most obvious injecters do crap out,had a couple do that.but check the cap first,99% dramas start and finish there

i'd run it. good performance upgrade.DO run the best fuel you can buy remap?possibly
