Looking at your original post/age of car etc. the engine was a 2.3. Has it remained as a 2.3 ? Interested as I am contemplating having mine rebuilt, it's up to 200km now and is noticeably weaker when under load. I want to retain it as a 2.3, but would be quite happy to have a peaky engine, it's mostly for track/leisure anyway. Would be interested in relative/ballpark costs if you would be happy to divulge.
TIA
Roops

Congrats Uwe,
We left the country and got married on a beach. Had a couple of parties at home for friends and family before, worked out really well. |

I am already married. And not in the conventional style with all the stressing out everybody stuff like a "wedding car" We invited the family only to a BBQ. When everybody had finally turned up we dragged them to the register office and married. As easy as that. In jeans, sandals, shorts and whatever. Everybody was relaxed and had a very good time afterwards. Matching dresses for the brides maids? Giving somebody I have never seen before 2k for taking funny pictures? Wasting 500 quid on specially printed paper with our initials punched out for the invitations? Erm, thanks but no thanks. ![]() |

Yes, I could have done with your car, but had to make do with an ex Themes Valley police car instead... here is the link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXT5rQ7kdLk It was a hoot to say the least :D |

Yeah, it certainly sounds loader through the intake now... Sure, swopping cams, headers, then having to map full throttle to see the results is a very time consuming thing to do, especially when you ae only making one change at a time which is the only real way you know you are gong the right way.... but what we did to your car was a real eye opener and you can throw the text books out the window. also the normal cam and management route has proved to not be the best route for your engine.. infact we are now playing with my standard 195's cam timing and may change the inlet cam to massively increase the torque after what we saw with your car :) The cams and timing of them are crucial.

yeah wouldnt have minded that Paul, i take it you mean with the m3. maybe we should think about a similar day somewhere so we could "potter" round As you say, one factor here was me needing the car back. by far the best way would be to keep swapping cams/timing/manifolds to get see the results - but this is then getting into lots of time and money. there are one or two other bits i need to do to. the front calipers and pads need a once over as i think one is dragging a bit causing it to pull when you dab the pedal, and a new steering wheel maybe a nice idea, this ones got a bit mank! its interesting though also, my neighbours (many of which know FA about cars) say it sounds different...more bark grin..
