CamB 48 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Sorry gang, the lack of vids is my fault. It's often hard to convey certain emotions through the internet. I'm trying to project "blame" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Skool_Bmw 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Update. Had a problem with the TPS and it turned out it needed replacing. Here is the dyno plot for the M3 Bottom line was with the old TPS sensor, top line was with the new sensor fitted and a few adjustments to get the afr's correct etc Just needs a road tune to get 5%-10% throttle mapped (have to wait till it's road legal though) Figures at the Wheels 210.4Hp @ 7132rpm's - 122mph 180fp's @ 5305rpm's - 91mph 4.1:1 gear ratio, ECU electronically limited to 7800rpm's but I won't be taking it that high in a hurry Laurence Edited July 22, 2009 by Old_Skool_Bmw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmw535 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 With e30 M3's I would expect LHD examples to be worth more than a RHD model (offers the chance to re-sell back overseas IF NEEDED). Discussions about RHD vs. LHD M3's performance have been around for years. More to do with the average chap in this country wants to drive a car on the correct side for the country, as it is easier and to be honest safer....but that said I don't want to convert my own. 75% of enthusiasts also prefer them left hook, but many feel strongly enough about it to part with the readies to pay for a conversion and fair priced right hooks sell quickly. The total world left hook market is certainly much bigger. I plan on having my car fully legal. More on that in a few weeks Be interested to hear if you are successful....good luck.

Old_Skool_Bmw 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Sorry the vids are so short guys.. The dyno room was SO loud, from the massive fan (that cools the engine) and the engine itself, that it was shutting the video recorder down because it was too loud for it! They also fail to tell you to wear 5 jerseys as well, f**k it gets cold standing in there for 30mins! I plan on getting a good roady vid when I go up to Taupo at the end of August, along with some track time vids Laurence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
