Sorry for not getting more details but been on hols etc...

Ian's been back onto Vsport for descriptions of what we get for our money:-

Basic run is £35 and you will get power and torque (at flywheel) graphs. Gives a good indication of how the engine is running and can show up any possible problems that may not be apparent under normal driving conditions.

Full run is £45 and you will get the same as the basic run plus air/fuel ratio graph and a boost graph (if the car is turbocharged). This is an ideal option for modified engines and can also show where more power can be made and what future mods will compliment the current setup.

Prices quoted depend on the number of cars that turn up.

To get the maximum number of cars in, they have asked for no FWD cars as this means wasting time changing the equipment.

The local guys are meeting at the Lakeside at 1000, which is here:-



Cheers,

Mick

[DaveD]

what's the lakeside and have you got a postcode for V sport

[ric325i]

dude the lake side is the pub that the BMW north east club is held in.

www.bmwclubne.co.uk

is the club web site and you can find the address from there.

this should be the link to the map

http://www.bmwclubne.co.uk/nextmeet.htm

but i couldnt find a post code? and to be honest the map above is better.

[he30]

Once again i have to bow down, and miss another one

Double booked, my lads having a birtday party a week early on the 19th. Will make an appearence on of these days i'm sure. Determined to get to santa pod now, that's it! either that or find a hermits forum somewhere lol.

Sorry guys.

[buster]

Ric can i maybe meet up with you darlo way,im crap with directions.
I've just joined the cc also so should be along for a meet there soon.

[ric325i]

no buster you cant.


think about it......i havbe been building this e30 m30 for around 11 months and it should be ready by then - just

now if i get this m30 done i will think its mega fast (i have been driving a 318i or ages) but if i try to go fast and you try to go fast............

you will make me look like a fool!


but we would make a great enterance! e30 m3 and e30/e36 M-Evo monster! yeah!


but really it should be a good idea but i dont know if i will be coming from Yarm or from newcastle or from Manchester????????

im guessing i will be taking andy with me (he is also very good with dirrections) so i will be getting him from darlington.

let you know soon. got a car to build.

we got a great big convoy trucking through the night
we got a great big convoy what a beutiful sight

Easy way to get to the Lakeside:-

Coming north on the A1m, filter right at junction 65 onto A194M, which ends at a roundabout after a couple of miles. Go straight on under the fly-over at the roundabout onto the A194. Just past the roundabout is a Shell garage incase you need VPower. After a couple of hundred yards is another roundabout. Turn right here and follow road another couple of hundred yards to the Lakeside.

If you get lost my number is 07801 905566

[ric325i]

oh now i was running my 1.8 on standard fuel but the 325i on v-power or what ever they call it now?

should i start runniong the vpower in the 335 if it gets done????????? if it helps then yes i will!

expensive stuff though and there is a debate if it actually works in old cars......i think it does.

[baur320]

Ric, I always use Vpower in the M3 and so don't notice the difference until I have to use something else and then I understand. Was on Skye a couple of weeks back and ordinary unleaded was like running with a flat tyre, if that makes sense! Takes a couple of top-ups to get it back to how it was.

Had the garage on today about the 2.7. It runs! Will be ready on Monday, only the none-working speedo to sort, can't wait.

Mick

[AndyTouring]

The V-Power makes no difference to the Six so don't bother. Think it's because the compression is set up for crap petrol. Getting it chipped & using V-Power might make a difference. Put it on your To-Check list

[billgatese30]

Mick, is it still ok to bring the beetle along as well as the beemer?

[AndyTouring]

Mick, IT LIVES!!!

About bloody time too.

Thinking about it, you may have to use a later instrument cluster to be compatible with the later Motronic. Sure some other Zoners could confirm/deny this.

You're probably wishing you'd gone the whole hog & dropped an M30 in!

All being well, I should have my Cab by next Friday.

[ric325i]

yeah it lives!!!!!!


oh you have got to be happy!


oh and guess what mine lives too!


i got it fired up last night with no exhaust

here is the video / sound clip i made

http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb13 ... V00049.flv

you can still take a look on my thread in engine swaps if you want to know more?

i feel bad though as Andy wasnt there to hear its first breath.




as for the V-power, i still plan to use it as i will be putting my chip in it before the rolling road

thing is i still have a 1/4 of atnk of standard fuel in the tank but i dont think that will last long

once thats gone i will put the chip in and get the V-power running too.

[dazleeds]

due to some changes to my current plans i doubt i will be running the car on the rollers
but would still like to come and spectate if thats ok??

[ric325i]

no daz, no car, no show.


i hope i can still make it?

the car is taking time and the weather forcast aint great.

dissapointed your not going to make it in the car daz. what chariot will you be appearing in?

[Omi]

I'll be upside-down at PflanzgartenII probably. Have fun chaps!

[baur320]

Andy, got it on Saturday all fine so far apart from the engine mount bolts only JUST on thread. (Thanks for the advice Chris). Didn't want an M30, was always going to be M20.

Goes like stink in any gear. Already decided I need better wheels and tyres (no Ric, I'm not putting on bottletops with remoulds), loads of problems on roundabouts etc.

Passed third Corsa 1.2 tonight - they were passing me before the swap.

[buster]

Just joined the bmw CC also ,seen it mentioned in the mag.

[baur320]

It's still on Andy
