hey bud, nope not as yet but thats not were there hitting. Front wheels are scrapping badly on the plastic shrouding so might have to take it all out. Car is not overly low either as you wouldve seen last weekend, can still fit my hand between the tyre/gaurd etc.

Yeh mate, that inner guard needs to come out and be chucked....lol Lip/roll the guards and drop her a little and bobs your uncle! But going on your previous 32, you know what your doing anyways!! :)

Yeh Boostworx are really good on prices, they charge what people should charge, none of this "yeh mate thats gonna be $1,374,724.00 for that tune" "oh and i boosted it to 2,583psi, But geez look at your power figures"!!

My last tune was through Steve at manta racing and it cost $350. He takes the car to wilall racing where Peter Hall did the tune and my 32GTR put out 292rwkws at only 1.1bar of boost. Martin tuned the car at Tilbrooks before that and the car was doing 299rwkws. Peter however said it was to close to detonation. (same boost)

This is with no cams, standard injectors and no boost controller.

I run 34GTR N1 turbos and they are better than the stock turbos by far. Spool up quicker and more power.(259rwkws)

from stock turbos and nothing else changed.

I didnt think that you could run that much boost on N1 turbos (40psi) . I hit full boost by 4,000rpm .

? where in your rev range would you be able to spool up 40psi ?

haha..it was just an example mate, as in the turbo's can take whateva boost levels you can throw at them. I dont no where in the rev range 40psi would come on but I no people running high 30psi on built engines and they seem to like it.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
