  1. Basically I am wanting my headlights modified by OSS designs but it requires my headlights to be sent to the US, modified and then sent back As i will need my car during that time - has anyone got any spare e92 headlights for my car- am willing to "buy" if can get a guarantee i can sell them back for the price i paid or pay some sort of deposit on the spare headlights i will use, and a guarantee or something to buy them outright if i damage them let me know
  2. btw found out - i used the original bearings for my wavetrak install no reason to change unless the orginal ones are fked

    http://www.bimmertoday.de/2014/01/07/ces-2014-bmw-connected-drive-hochautomatisiertes-fahren-drift-ohne-fahrer/ lol? - the driver has his hands on the window while the car is drifting.....this whole automated driving seems pretty cool
  4. Never heard of them, find any reviews on them for the e9x models? My wavetrak was US $1270 inc shipping to NZ , and the mfactory is 1k US? (did you get a better price?)
  5. thanks, been a big fan of the GoPro's - but they get quite expensive once you add all the options ( eg batterypac, mic adapter etc) bought it through http://www.rubbermonkey.co.nz/, with the savings on the options etc - bought a large case to carry all the stuff in and still was cheaper then buying it directly from the GoPro website the external mic makes such a difference, with all the sound deadening stuff in the cabin, unless i have my window down - don't usually hear the snap & crackles from the exhaust
  6. Not sure what you mean Matt Gavin@bmworkshop i believe installed the LSD in my car only thing i remember is that certain models of the 335i had welded, others like mine was bolted so it was a easy swap, the welded ones you needed to get the whole pumpkin or something like that
  7. FFTEC In-line Low Pressure Fuel Pump has arrived, getting installed this week http://www.procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/styled-21/styled-22/index.html Will be able to run straight e85 without having to blend with 98, can't wait to test it out @hampton downs this weekend Waiting on the following paint to arrive: http://www.g2usa.com/product/CBCP-335.html got the idea from this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=763648&highlight=stoptech

    BMW M235i Racecar

    That looks pretty nice tbh and the specs look interesting http://www.bmwblog.com/2013/12/15/bmw-m235i-racecar/
  9. Hey OFT stage 1 and OFT stage 2 maps ran fine on BP 98 - I am currently testing the gull force 10 on the stage2 map - I am expecting less milage on gull force10 due to the ethanol content and i need to get it up on the dyno to see if there is a difference between the 2 anyone selling e85 fuel down in wellington? the e40 map stomps all over the stage2 map
  10. No problems, would be interested as well about the difference in price between the 2 does the other one accept credit cards / paypal ?
  11. Ya was quite easy, did the order on the website, got a email back with final cost with shipping and payment details, did the bank transfer, emailed them to confirm transfer, then got email with tracking number, then tyres were at my door Ordered Mitchelin PSS 2 X 285/25/20 2 X 245/30/20 Tyres: US $1426.00 Shipping: US $287.82 Total Price inc shipping was : US $1,713.82 (back on the 6/6/13) do remember that there will be customs charges when they arrive - mine was $363.42 Dealt with Charlie ([email protected]), helpful and got everything sorted
  12. Ya, for international orders they don't accept credit cards , only bank transfers - thankfully with ASB i could do this online without having to go into the bank
  13. Pretty much the same deal when i was looking to get some Mitchelin PSS on my Vossen CV3 wheels, bought them from tiretrack and was at my door in like 4days
  14. <3 my $99 unlimited ADSL2 plan with maxnet/vocus - haven't worried about a datacap for years
  15. Got my GoPro3+ cam and external mic - did a quick test yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv_YMiOeRIc
  16. Had a look at maybe getting one from the UK?
  17. BMW cars after 1996 are supposedly fine with ethanol fuel Ethanol is a great fuel product for turbo cars - lots of benefits When i am blending - i was putting 30L BP 98 and 30L Gull Force Pro Currently testing using the Gull Force 10 & Gull Force Pro blending useful tool on working out blending : http://www.intercepteft.com/calc.html
  18. I have been using BP 98 , but was recently advised I should use the gull force 10 - Haven't tested it yet as it's been the hols and been running e50 It's is a bit of a issue sometimes finding a 98 fuel station - was forced a few months ago to fill up on some 95 fuel - pulled the logs and could see my car was not happy - timing being pulled by the ecu etc Would be a lot more happy if they started selling e85 Driving to puke is bit of a hassle , but the performance of the fuel is worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Was the suction mount - but i think i had loosened the other bolts on the mount when i was playing around with the setup and hence the moving around effect - will be alot tighter next time thanks - will have my new go pro 3+ cam setup for the 11th Jan 2014 @ hampton downs - hopefully get alot more better footage Please do! thanks for the feedback - will try to work on those points next time 2nd time on hampton downs, first car since my boy racer days that was fast & turbo'd - over 10years ago when i had my evo 6 I feel like i am still learning a lot more about my car's handling/what it can do and i really haven't yet pushed to the limits - Worried about crashing my ride - its my daily driver How would my car run with e40 tune - could the car sustain that tune all day and not go into limp mode How was my oil temp for the sessions (after the first time at hampton downs, realised i would need to get a aftermarket oil cooler) DSC completely off ( last time was driving with DTC on) How far i can push my stock brakes Doing track days on 20inch mags & tyres are not ideal at all and i sometimes worry how far i can push them (the sidewall is always on the back of my mind) Would love to get some lessons or pointers while driving @ hampton downs I am in the middle of sorting out a new BBK and 17 wheel and tyre setup to be ordered - still doing some research ya next time i'm gonna que up in the middle group, should be a better selection of drivers to follow and see their lines (the two times at hampton i have been in driving training group and then slow cars as a mate of mine came down as well- the groups i have been in)
  20. ya, next time gonna try a new position and definitely get it mounted better - trying to figure out how to get the exhaust sound - may need to run a external mic via the boot down to the license plate or something, will need to do some testing
  21. thanks alot LSD has made a huge difference especially with the power change on the car my previous car was a 2003 AC Schnitzer e46 325ci
  22. Had the following items installed last Friday before track day http://www.evolutionracewerks.com/node/132 and http://www.n54tuning.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=125 On the track , oil temp got up to 135-140 but stayed and didn't move past which was better then last time
  23. Hey Guys here's some footage from hampton downs not exactly stellar footage - few issues with the housing on the first vid (had to get some cloth to stop it moving so much) 2nd time on hampton downs and first time shooting with a go-pro - so bear that in mind! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB37JrSBqm8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzigWmLgpcA
