Total BMW looking for some feature cars :-)

Post Thu Sep 22, 2005 3:27 pm

This is cool. I have my MAF, just waiting on ITG airfilter and then off to bexley's for map.
Hope it doesn't take too long

Post Thu Sep 22, 2005 3:45 pm

Gosh. The whole Zone has go feature mad

Well if it's any consolation, i've had 2 this year and a picture of the car has been in one mag or another evry month since March this year to date

I defo think a few cars here deserve a feature though. Lets hope they get it too. All this talk of bloddy power. Right now i'm pissed. Next year i will be coming with a supercharged or turbo'd M3 Evo lump. We'll see who's laughing then

Then I'll be looking for another feature

JUST WATCH THIS SPACE.

2.9lt baby... 154kw OTW

and lets not forget Borbet...

Cool, there's a chance i'll have megasquirt installed too, here's hoping for good weather!

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 3:53 pm

Megasquirt eh?

Our Art Ed's got one on the Westfield he's building and is having a few problems so you two will be having a chin wag on the day

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:08 pm

Just had the team come down and do the photoshoot for the Alpina. Good fun!

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:14 pm

oh and i bet you said it was your sal.

does your mate even know his cars in the mag?

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:31 pm

Nooo Spikey hair boy! The mag will state whos car it actually is.

Andy Everett was very impressed by the torque and performance. "It would kill a standard C2" are his words.

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:40 pm

so who of us is in the mag then

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:49 pm

I think your car will go in with Karans and Brents.

You're missing a car from that, Sal.

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 5:34 pm

Sorry! How can I forget your monster.

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 5:36 pm

i must of missed the boat then, i'll have to hurry up and get my alpina 2.7 bottom end in and add my, aircon and climate control, heated seats, cruise control and 12 button obc and maybe then mine will be good enough

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 10:20 pm

Just stick in the 2.7 and your in.

While your at it, uprate the cam, port the hell out fo the head, Use really high comp pistons, add BTB/Alpina manifold, map it all on megasuirt and youll be scaring E34 M5's all day.

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 10:47 pm

sal

if you spend the above on an e30 including labour you could probably buy an e34 m5. which isnt really going to have much trouble dealing with an e30.....2.7 or not.

as for the artical in total, i bet you got your mug in there.

you didnt happen to meantion bexleys did you.....

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 10:58 pm

Id like a feature but i guess Ian Haynes's car was done 4 years earlier so i guess a 3.2 evo conversion is now old hat.

Heres mine at last years Total bmw at donnington

Its now evo powered.

old pic there ,not long after i got the engine in.
Got rid of all the alpina stripes etc now also.

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:12 pm

hi buster that looks like a nice clean job,you fitted the long range tank in yet? that white car next to yours at show looks nice lol

Post Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:18 pm

Hi dips m8,nah havent fitted it yet.Need to know how first ! lol
Do i need a new filler pipe ? also does it run another fuel gauge ??

I think the filler pipe gets replaced by a y piece one.The etk shows up to 1987 so im a bit unsure it will fit mine which is a 1990.

The white m3 was nice,dodgy looking owner though

Jon,

No mug i the mag , i refused!

A good 210+ with flat torque curve 2.7 is a very fast car.
