do what this guy did,

he bolted an rb30de together he reckons its really smooth no power figures yet but they are coming I reckon with some head work 140rwkw should be possible with this setup other wise just fit extractors. and when you get the cash get the head done.

cheers

thanks guys :)

my brother inlaws brother makes intercoolers, air intakes, fits turbo's etc so he will be the one working on my car hehehe

he is putting a turbo in an XF ute (coz he is a ford man, he built a GT with a 460 Big block, and is waiting on a mustang),so he can use it to show off what he can do and advertise it.

but yeah, soon i will be getting cold air intake with a filter n stuff

i know that with a n/a if i want power i wont be getting what i pay for...but just something for the moment :)

my importer has 2 GTi-R's for $14g - $17g

i should buy one hehe

doxximus, do anything you can to make your N/A breathe better, extractors, 3 inch pipe, pod filters, cold air induction and dont forget a big set of cams.

also dont forget that a good suspension setup and good tyres can make a huge difference if you are in a "street" race with someone that has inferior product.

my N/A continually amazes me with the cars that i leave behind, also don't forget that driver ability makes a HUUGE difference when you are in a race.

you could invest in some time on a track to give you a head start. try an advanced driving school or just hunt around some of the different forums that are about to find out about track days etc. and remember that the only person you are really racing is yourself!!

yeah my shocks are hard as shit on a hot/cold day (what ever weather makes shit hard :) )

my car sticks to corners really well i love it

round-a-bout's are my friend when there is some hero up my ass.

they go to overtake from the inside but dont seem to do it right...

also, my friend and i want to do an advanced driving course, me in my car, and him in his brothers s1 RX7 (10g's on the motor when he bought it a while back, its bloody amazing!). we just waiting for his bro to change the tires haha

but yeah most of my sisters family to be are car fanatics and mechanics so i can get cheap, if not free, parts made for me. I hoping to get the intake soon will be cool :)

    • 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.
