  1. Yeah and it will eventually level out
  2. Always better to buy a BMW second hand as someone has already done the depreciation for you.
  3. What are your goals? What power are you aiming for? New or used turbo kit? What’s your budget? Help us out here, you’ll also need supporting mods. It’s not just as simple as bolting a single turbo kit on and away you go.
  4. I wouldn’t believe any of the quoted figures you see in the US, Jamie ran circa 850bhp on a stock engine before it went bang if I remember correctly.
  5. We are 712whp estimated 853bhp flywheel on a relatively stock rebuilt engine, stock pistons, rods, crank. Just have ARP hardware throughout, Clevite race bearings, 264 cams. That was mapped by Lee at SRD. I’d follow the advice of Romain, he knows what’s he’s doing. Don’t go chasing numbers as could end up more expensive. 700whp will be a monster!
  6. Toyota GT86 - Really good daily driver to be fair, obviously not a lot of room but has heated seats, sat nav, cruise control. My commute is only 30 miles a day and I get 40MPG. Best I’ve got on a commute is 50.5MPG. Maybe something to consider if space isn’t an issue. Also really good fun
  7. Sorry only just seen your reply. As far as I’m aware, ASNU injections have a better spray pattern than the competitor. You’ll need the piping to match the 4” core which I’d imagine is also 4”.
  8. This! I don’t see the problem, Toyota teamed up with Subaru to make the GT86 and it’s one of the best handling sports car money can buy. Lots of manufacturers team up with each other to make cars, it’s nothing new. I personally like the MKV and can’t wait to see further progress with it.
  9. We run 315/30/18’s Mitchen Pilot Sports with 850bhp no issues. Built auto though so they power is more linear though!
  10. ASNU 1100cc Walbro 450/485lph Upgraded fuel lines SRD 264 cams will do the job nicely SRD/Whifbitz/Mishimoto 4” Intercooler 3.5/4” exhaust Link ECU or Syvecs
  11. No idea what happened, sorted now.
  12. We have an SRD Stage 3 built auto, but we are pre VVTI. It’s a fraction of the cost of a DCT conversion. Gearbox is controlled by the Syvecs S6+ ECU and we have flappy paddles. Currently 853bhp/641lbft on pump fuel.
  13. Luckily we was in a position where we could dive off the M25 at Lakeside once the traffic eventually started moving again, we was stuck in outside lane in standstill traffic for 30 mins+. Once we started moving again just decided to turn round and head home. It’s a shame because haven’t been to BW for a while and was looking forward to a catch up. Oh well there’s always next month!
  14. What’s your budget? What colour? Stock or modified?
  15. 23. Chris Bailey Sorry can’t seem to copy list.
  16. ETS 5” is the daddy, didn’t know Whifbitz did a 5” core.
  17. We are 853bhp on V-power, but we have the option to run ethanol if we want. So that’s why we have twin pumps that can cope with ethanol, Teflon fuel lines, larger fuel filter and 1500cc injectors. We made 660bhp on a single Walbro 450lph with stock fuel lines, but the stock fuel lines couldn’t flow anymore fuel and were at the maximum.
  18. We run 2x Walbro 485lph pumps, ASNU 1500cc Injectors.
  19. It’s owned by a guy called Luke, just spent a while doing all that work to it. Was on Dragonball 13 but was white with half wrap and BGW on it back then. Think it’s an N/A auto.
  20. Yeah that’s about right to be fair if it isn’t BPU, you still on stock boost?
