no mate sorry to far i live in wakefield

Looks like you live up towards where I bought my Tech 1. Around Leeds or Huddersfield. Can't remember now.

Really like the looks of the Lenso's on a Tech 1... Might get some if I come across the buy. Something to replace my chewed up Alpina reps.

Looks What height is that sitting at? Usually I'm not a fan of the Lenso reps but this looks very nice. Makes me want a project car to do along the same lines. Looks super mean.

[djsimmy]

no idea at front its on coilovers(i think)

back has 50mm springs in could do with being another 15mm lower on back tho.

[Jim320i]

I'd keep it like that as it gives it a stance Really do like this though. Wouldnt mind a Tech 1 but I wouldnt dare... I would want to make sure it was mint and do any work needed etc, like many others on here and all I ever see if new parts costing a small fortune each time.

[djsimmy]

mine is a shitter lol

[djsimmy]

well just taken her on rolling road.

it Made 161.9bhp with a blowing exhaust

so she hasnt done to bad.

aparently its not getting enough fuel. air fuel ratio is running around 13.5-14


and it would be better around 12 i think.

just waiting for graphs to upload now.

its ment to have a chip in it allready but maybe its a shit one. gonna probs get one of speedtouch on here. n take it back for another run

WOW!! This looks great. I love an early M-tech 1 when left mostly standard - such a clean and sharp look. Good work mate...

djsimmy what size are the lenso you have and what size boots did you put on them ? iv got the same but i over estimated with the tyres

[pony]

how much was it to put it on the rolling road?
where did you get yours done?
anyone on here know what Tech1/Tech2 Sports should produce bhp at this age (apart from 171bhp when new)?

[djsimmy]

lenso's are 16 by 7 and 16 by 9 i think

am running 195/45's on front and 205 45's on back.


Pony got it done at RS tuning in leeds

£45 quid..... there ment to make 171bhp from factory but the guy that did mine said even when he has tested some back in the early 90's they rearly made 170 stated

[djsimmy]

Well i purchased some leather colouring balm from the furniture clinic just to see how far it would get me. as the propa sand and re dye kit looked like hard work and was alot more expensive !

i know the cracks are still visable etc but it looks a hell of alot better!!!!! just need to do all the interior now only tested on a few bits.
