Re: X5 vs Range Rover

The newer e70 shape x5 has a 3 litre twin turbo engine that is much more refined and 272bhp as opposed to 218 from the older 2000 odd-to late 2006 3 litre SINGLE turbo engine or 184 if you're an early bird.

Remapping that would shit on a 325 sport off the line and a range rover happy days.

e36 trailing arm bushes.

The ones at the front of the rear assembly, kind of hidden up in the chassis a bit...hope that makes sense. L865 MOO if that helps.

Put the cars side by side, unbolt everything off your new shell and fit everything from 325 shell. 320 will make life easier. 318 for insurance and the 316s ive seen are all dogs bar 1 black one recently bigm3jo-he should get an m3 when he has the money but i bet dizzle aint going to make it go anyw...

Re: 325i sport vs escort rs turbo

The main reason rs turbos are torque steering pieces of shit is down to the owners. fit poly bushes, have the diff and box rebuilt, decent suspension and learn how to drive a turbo car and they arent tooo bad. i had one a couple of years ago and after id done all that it was nice to drive just a sha...

Re: e30 power is he chatting bollocks

Engines will always lose power over the years!! And no, an exhaust and chip won't give you 200bhp on an otherwise standard engine. You can actually loose power with an exhaust if it's too large for your power output (regardless of manifold) he sounds like he doesn't know what he is talking about an...

Re: e30 power is he chatting bollocks

i believe that an exhaust can add as much as a extra 10bhp, but the rest from a chip and a alpina rocker ?????? i really only think on a turbo car it can make that difference. something modern with a decat and a remap possibly but hard. an old e30 where the exhaust is pretty darn good anyway. unlik...

It's all easily removable when you want to sell it, apart from a few bolt holes. Anyone who knows anything about LPG cars will appreciate the greatly reduced engine wear.
