Did a power run today.......

A couple of mates were attending a RR day with some forum they get on, so I tagged along and threw the daily on the rollers for a curiosity excercise

He's a standard 325i albeit for a fritz bits 6 branch and system, and a speedtouch chip. Knowing my mods weren't going to be giving me any major gains, I was hoping for close to stock power.

With almost 24 years and 182,000 miles under his belt, the old boy still managed to muster 165 horses. Could have been worse!

[bhups]

Not bad, time to 24v it? Lol!

Something that's crossed my mind! Along with m30's, s50's, m60's, s38's etc! Lol I've got a little Holset HX40 kicking around so boost has won yet again!

wouldn't call a hx40 little Haha

[MattTheHat325]

Yeah it is pretty hefty! I've had it for ages to be fair but general keeping on top of the car when I do 50-60 miles a day in it just gets in the way of actually doing anything interesting! He's in pretty decent health all round at the moment so I'm really pushing myself to get things rolling, it's just the only car I have on the road at the mo so progress is slow!

[Lurch320i]

What valance/lower air dam is that?

[MattTheHat325]

Alpina type 159, it has got a few chips on the bottom Lol gotta be careful!

[Lurch320i]

Looks good and nice to see someone sporting something different tps the normal tech 2 kit. I do love the E30 in white.one of my favorite colours

can't wait for mine to be back on the road

[MattTheHat325]

Thanks mate I've always liked them kit-less to be honest, looks a bit more old school aggressive lol I didn't specifically choose a white one but it's grown on me over the years

Were u at Power Station in Tewkesbury ?
I turned up at 2pm but by then had finished.

[magpie]

Boost it

[Lurch320i]

Definately get some boost down its neck

but it would would a bit better with the matching skirts etc to tie in the rest of the car

Yes mate it was power station, I was only there about half hour myself! Last but one car to run.

It will be whooshing and tooshing muck don't panic

I must admit it does look a bit over-splittered sometimes, I was going for more of a b3 look rather than c2 (no skirts, black sills) but it definately needs a bigger flicky up boot spoiler to echo the front, namely an alpina jobbie ideally!
