Re: Bilstein B12 or H&R Cup?

HAHA, cheers shim,

yeah, thats what i was after, loads of speedbumps where i live and seeing as it'll spend most of the time negotiating them rather than smooth and flat racetracks, thought it was the best choice.

Re: Bilstein B12 or H&R Cup?

I've had a B12 kit which came with Eibachs on mine for 2 years now, couldn't recommend it enough. It doesnt really lower it that much but thats why i went for that kit, didnt want my Sport dragging its ass along the road. i've done a fair few drift days at Oulton and 2 trips to the Ring and its been...

Re: exhaust back box for a 325i sport

I priced a center box last week for my sport as the original has finally took the knock and the price @ Williams in Liverpool was £345.

Re: 325i exhaust options

A mate of mine has just had a full BTB inc manifold delivered for his Sport, supposedly 18bhp increase but close to £1800 all in.

Bit too rich for me that, hopefully he'll have it fitted soon then we'll see if there's any difference.

Cheers everyone, that's cleared a few things up for me.

I didn't realise they stopped doing the 325, and yes, all the 25's we have seen have been a bit council. I'll just pass all the info on to my nephew and let him make the decision.

Thanks again folks.

E36 323i - oppinions

Just thought i'd ask for your thoughts on a 323i E36, its for my nephew. He's after a 325i coupe but they seem to be a bit scarce. Spotted a nice 99T 323i with decent miles and money but i dont know much about these.

Should he just wait out for a 325 to show up?


Cheers

Hi Matt,

I'm there from the 17th - 20th, then blasting down to Munich. Even though its only open for a couple of hours you can still get a couple of decent laps in.

I did when i was last there 2 years ago anyway. Hopefully the dates are the same and we can meet up.

Re: tyres 205/55 R 15

I had Kumho KU31's fitted last month... Very impressed for a cheap tyre. Fair amount of grip in both wet and dry and i would probably say better than the Dunlop SP9000 they replaced.

I got them for £61 a tyre fitted from my local fitter. Defo recommend them.

Thats just something i've heard before. Because you don't see him getting dragged out of the car.
