yeah all bolted on gonna see how it goes but still looking for a good bare head..

id build you one but my head guy is soooo slllloooowwww that you wouldn't have it till next year!

if he didn't do such a bloody good job id send them elsewhere...he's starting to piss me off somewhat.

its an unfortunate way of the world that when someone is so good they are in high demand...but my patience is starting to run out with this one...who takes 6 weeks off at christmas thats not at school?

also paul... those shims i saw in the oil pump box.... wat did u end up doing with them... i figured they are to shim up the pressure release valve to increase or decrease the pressure????

thats correct....they wont be required...but mark will check the pressure on start-up to see if they are needed. ive already addressed this with him and he said with the clearances ive used the pump should be ok out of the box.

Red R Racing RB28 T04Z 272 Stage 2.5 Head tuned by Godzilla...running RWD.

Sounds good eh ?

there only 270's paul.... also it sounds like a pain in the arse on the street tis all i will say lol

have also been discussing with paul my exhaust housing size.... atm ive got a .81 but the .96 housing seems that it may have been a better option... the only problem is to the manifold i have is single entry not twin entry so im gonna have to check if they make a single entry .96.... will also have to get the housing made to suite my wastegate inlet pipe... ahhh more mucking around

it will be nice and responsive with the 0.81...if you want less response and more top end i think the 0.96 would suit. Dave's 2.6 doesn't seem to want to make any more than 450awkw with the .81 no matter what i do to the tune or fuel type. Ive put it down to the rear housing being unable to flow the air mass...you having the extra 200cc and a better head will find it even tougher to 'move' the air through it...hence the idea of the larger rear.

Being a RWD though the 0.81 might be easier on the tyres, driveline and might be easier for you to keep it pointing in the direction you actually want to go. :)

my thoughts exactly.... either way im pricing up a .96 rear made to suite so we'll see how much they are..... but seriously 450rwkw should be plenty through a street cars rear wheels only...

just double checking since u didnt reply that plate that sits behind the cams gear did u strip the paint off it. or is it still all good...

    • 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.
