well there she is, I like the car and the way she drives, I also prefer the cross spokes as they drive better than the standard 14" "alloys" as BMW called them and I now have a twin 3" back box on her with a polished stainless steel tip to give a nice note although it will be replaced soon for a scorpion system or powerflow whichever works out the best. The Car also has been chipped by jayson of www.chippeduk.com and though having troubles at first he gave me a replacement chip and the car has been good ever since.

at the minute for ICE i have 2 jbl gt4 subs, 2 magnat 4000 classic 680 watt 4 channel amps and 2 shark 1.0 farad power caps. 1 amp and 1 power cap is for sale :wink: pm me.


SPEC


top speed - 110 (proven :lol: could go a wee bit faster if we pushed her harder :wink: )
Modifications - chip and backbox and ICE.... more to come
Wheels - BBS cross spoke genuinely off 325i sport.

Never been on the rollin road but heres the firgures BMW gives for the bhp, its 102 :roll: but the chip adds 9 so thats 111 and hopefully the backbox gimme a couple and panel filter in soon.... say 115-120?
Cheers,
Dee

Nice car mate!

What difference is there between the normal 14" alloys and the 15" BBS?

Looks like a clean motor mate.


dj_raoul, the 14 alloys are what people refer to as 'Bottle Cap's There the standard alloys that most came with.

Heres an okish picture. The 15' crosspoke wheels came on the sport (and 318 is i think)

the cross spokes are also wider, and the car does handle better with them :cool:

It's good for 115 so you were almost there :D

How much will you be looking for for the old twin 3" back box? I've got a 316i too and need something to distract me from the tappet noise :mad:

well to tell u the truth the car has only been up and down the driveway for 10 miles since i put the back box on before it fell off and all i heard was ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR spit flame on deceleration, so in my mind, the day before u go to put a backbox on drive about with the exhaust backbox cut off lol its amazin sound :P and it throws out flames :cool: :mad:

it needs welded on though and all i had on it was the old brackets and gun gum..... didn't work lol it sorta came off after i stopped from 20mph in reverse quite suddenly and landed on grass so its ok :wink:

it will be sold when i get upto dee's exhausts in newtonabbey for a powerflow system :wink: will get in touch with you then as that could possibly be soon :wink: but can get u a brand new back box twin dtm upswift style for around 95 quid posted lol
