for 15k i'm sure you could sqeeze out 400hp plus, with a alittle FI ofcourse. no offence Apex,up to 150$ pre extra kw for a swap setup, i'll stick to the sweet whistling sound of turbo goodness m
-
It is interesting that FIAT is doing anything at all. didnt they also come close to 'falling over' as such,a couple of years back? I guess they made a big comeback in a very few years. wish i could do that
-
oooo, nasty jokes aside; isnt there a air valve on the back of the motor,this thing craps out on V8 apparently

their based in Kumeu,west auckland

talk to the guys at gaskets unlimited.they make anything you want. cost me 250$. i used one of their creations (40% thicker over oem standard), installed a set of used headbolts.ran 1 bar,no problems.m30b35 dropping down to 8.something compression is low.really pissy off boost. i'd be comfortable with running 9's cr and 15psi. its all up to the tuners,afterall m

topcat replied to Sick Puppy's topic in General Discussion
dont bother with 'brent' for parts,he's expensive,call me instead.he parks his treasures at my place.will do you a better deal -
got a set of BBS wheels 17/8 with rubber it does have a et of 10 not 20 as requested but will fit the e34 easily.do you want a gear lever? might have something. replacing 'cose of the crack? or somrthing else im not seeing
-
8.8 compression isnt all that exciting,up will run cheap gas without prolems. if you want to do a grind or along those lines, have a m20 cam from an 525 e34.$80

ballsie driving, i'll have what he's been drinking

interesting article; combustion technology has and is coming along way one thing though' another ///M first: Direct Injection. BMW has not offered Direct Injection on any naturally aspirated (non-turbo) motor in the US due to the sulfur content of US fuel and they do not plan on offering it on them in the future (as we have been told). So all of you on the fence about buying an ///M3 and fearing direct injection will be offered, can rest a little easier whats the fear of direct injection? i've only hear good things bout this injector setup. anyone know different? m ed; spelling(again)

Hi all, just got my hands on these. rims are in ok condition, front two have alittle curb rash,nothing too dramatic. caps are bbs stamped. off a e32,so will fit a e34 and e39,e39. have a nylon locating bush at present. tires are 235/45/17 and have 7mm tread on them,basically brand new. dont have a clue what their worth,need to move them on as i have no need for them. also, if your keen PM me cheers for the input marty

they are reliable,with alittle regular servicing. as for auto's,same units are also used in e32-730,735's.so yes plenty of boxes about.all ZF's. i should know i have two on the shelf,and no home to send 'em to. biggest issue i have with the model is the heater tape.not a biggie to change etc, but needs doing m
-
good idea,how bout-meet up under the covered carpark oppsite the benchmark/corys electical place(?)takeout etct then drive down to miranda hot pool.(avoiding ditches)(inside joke) or bring your best paddock hack to my place/bbq etc.-bit wet at the mo though.need 3 days of wind to dry. need to keep it to under 1min laps welcome by the way m

yep,dyno rollers writen all over it. maybe even free spinning rollers-but wont go that far. either way,8k+ rev limit sounds great
