Why not combine the 2; get your friends to come along? We did that for a friends stag weekend and went Quad biking in Kilkenny!

will they give advice on how to get your car running right as mine hasnt been going too well since i got it.car is idling a bit rough,smells to be a bit rich,and most importantly my rev limiter is at 5500rpm which seems 1000rpm too soon.(you may have heard the bangs of the limiter when i was at mondello)just seems as if it should rev up to about 6500rpm.maybe im wrong just feels that way.

Westward are just off the main street in Enfield (see red star). On the Galway side of the town there is a turn North towards Trim / Rathmoylan (on left if coming from Galway). Take this turn. Westward are the 1st right turn off this road - its signposted.

WE should hit the target Sean ,for 15 but it's not a problem if we don't (price remains the same) . It's just that the more cars that show up , the more it'll be like an actual BMWCC event . Also , if we get more than 15 , it's also cool .
John , there's nothing actually definate regarding advice on your motor , but Martin is very professional at what he does and he will give you a few pointers on what to look at as way of improving the running of your car .

No bother G . You're on the list . It'll be interesting to match yours off with mine as i've also installed a chip of the Viper 2 variety . Superchips v ChippedUK . Hmmmmmm .

Should be intersting alright... There is something in mine alright anyway, no receipts for a superchip but it revs out to just shy of 7,000 rpm, so there is something done.
Looks like we could have a bit of fun, would be class if we could get a few more e30 318is'.
See ya then anyway bud.

All right John . That seems to be the most economical way of getting a little bit more power out of your motor . In conjunction with a decent air filter and a nice exaust , a chip can make a differance . From there , you could keep going from uprated cams , throttle bodies , a turbo or supercharger conversion , nitrous , etc . But as the average Joe soap is on a limited budget , the more popular upgrades suffice .

i have the exhaust,i plan to get the filter and thinking about a chip.ill go to the rolling road day and see what im putting out then ill get the filter and chip and take it back on the rolling road to see what difference they made.(if any). As for the turbos and superchargers:
1:trying to keep the car as original as i can(a few discreet mods)
2:car has swallowed too much of my money already(not far from reusing the teabags)

That's exactly what i did John . A little at a time and nothing too mental . If i've increased my bhp from the last time i was on the rollers (140), i'll be recomending a chip upgrade . As for torque , it's definatly up .
