Re: Western Off Topic
I'm interested to see how the N54 used in the 1M goes, it uses a different HPFP(now refered to as a High Pressure Exchange Pump) and rumor has it that it's the solution to the HPFP woes. I guess time will tell.
Horse Power Freaks has a single turbo 335i up and running that is going to be using a secondary fuel rail to supplement the DI system. I'd like to see what power the stock engine can hold.

Regardless, I've moved on from the BMW scene I think. Put a deposit on a car to take me back to my roots tonite

Re: Western Off Topic
It just didn't fit the bill for me. Stupid fast, but I want more than just straight line. It blew up taking a vid for two very interested buyers(leaned out...
), so it's being parted out now.
Sadly, this one is red too Well, more pink then red at the moment, but it will meet a buffer.

Re: Western Off Topic
There's a few things that could have occurred. I didn't really look in to it, didn't care as I'm just going to part. You can check the euro section for a link to the partout and some pics, see if somn tickles your fancy or if you need something.

Re: Western Off Topic
I'll check on my LSD to see if the ratios are different, I don't remember what ratio mine is. If they are different I may hit you up. I hate how short my gears are now, quickens the car up but it's pretty nominal and really kills highway mileage. Unless I have things screwed up (which isn't outside the realm of possibility by any means) the 2.93 should give me longer gearing while retaining limited slip. It's a single-eared diff correct?

Re: Western Off Topic
Man,sorry to hear that.
I can kind of relate.After dropping that valve on my car(and taking with it the entire longblock,turbo,etc)it made it really hard to think about rebuilding,haha.It was much easier to shitcan it and move on to other projects.Hate that I never got a ride in your car though.
Checking parts thread now....BTW,you don't happen to still have those 5mm spacers and lugbolts do you?
