We need a bit more info, your post doesnt really make sense?

Surely as soon as you depress the clutch the revs will drop?

Bench

cant see the graphs was there actually any difference?

Bench

this could be a fauly cam positon sensor. As its imtermittient i would suggest a diagnostic. I knwo when the sensor went on my 328 it caused a starting issue.

Bench

If they were standard on the E46 then surely they should be staggered?

These are either four 'fronts' or after market.

Bench

Though it about time to get some pictures up of my Track car, It’s a 1997 BMW 328 Sport, with 104,000 miles on the clock. When we first got it it was not in great shape but for the amount we paid I think it was still a good buy. First port of call was to strip it down, that done we went onto replace...

Bench, how do I have to be carefull with the offset?
my rims are staggered 255s rear, 225s front.

That set up will be fine, no wider than 225/235 on the front or it ight rub on full lock.

Bench

I have expereinced the cheap versions on my e36....all th eones on ebay for around £200 are made by the same people and just re-branded, all crap. I eventually settled for a mid ranged set of AP coilovers. These can be found on venom motorsport site. I have had no problems with them and very impress...

Bench

I hvae 18"s with coil overs and lowered much more than 60mm....no problems with rubbing at all. Make sure the offset is right if you are going for a staggered set up make sure the front arent to wide.

Bench

I have had this before and it was the the connection in the boot. I would def start there.

Bench

When was it last serviced?

Also making sure the car is warm before the test can make a big difference.

Bench

Apologies, havent got print out for the Zed, the track car is still not finished, Max bhp was 225bhp before the map. That was with BBTB, manifold and simota. When the test the map was put on the increase in torque caused the clutch to slip (is a used track car so the clutch was well worn). A new clu...

Bench

my guess is an induction kit, they really do make a difference sound.

Bench

I think i have seen one, with a V8 as standard...was selling for 30K euros last year from memory, this might have been an alpina though?

Bench

I have the AP coil overs and very happy with them. They are mid range price wise. Mine is LOW i dont use it that much anymore as i tend to drive my audi. Even on our 'third world' highway i dont seem to have any problems. Although speed humps have to be taken with care. The picture below is before t...

Was that with or witout a remap?

Without map, I should have an updated dyno soon of max bhp after map. Although the car has been mapped for torque not max bhp.

Bench

Glad you wrote that Mark I get bored of reading the same drivel also....I have 18's with coil overs. Personally I preferred the look of full arches. The handling is brilliant as i have uprated the suspension all round.

Bench

I have spoken to Alpina527 a couple of times on this subject, there are no gains to made fromt his modification.

I am a civil engineer as well if you use feet and inches in my office you will hung drawn and quartered!!!

I say yes it is a hairdressers car, I have straighteners in the boot and dry my hair putting th eroof down.

89 Austin Metro 1.0. Bought for £8 (all i had in my pocket) off an old lady. It was in a broken shed that had to be dismantled to get the car out. Car did not run.

Bench

They will fit but ride height might not be right.

Bench

I think that sounds a little expensive, if you trust them then sometimes its worth a little more. I definetely paid less than that recenlty to have two bearings replaced. Although with the bearing form memory I think the part is quite expensive.

Bench

I have the e-tech so would say a decent looking brace for £100 -150 is about right. Some people will always buy cheaper ones but sometimes you do get what you pay for.

Bench

Belt at front of engine is worn. If you check it and it is cracked replace it. I have done it recently while changing the waterpump.

Bench

I have a pair of standard headlights. PM me if you are interested.

Bench

I have the plastic alarm key, obviously some distance fomr you so dont really want to post. Im sure lots more have them. Alternatively may be worht giving stealer a ring as they might have a key lying round?

Bench

with them symptoms my money is def on Camshaft sensor.

Bench

I have real life experience of the Hottuning versions, fitted them to a 328 sport, the ride was harsh but like you i had low RS turbos in the past so want overly fussed. I was annoyed that they banged and squeeked after 3 days. After 250 miles both shocks had failed, needless to say I took them off ...

Bench

I would suggest you wait until you have more money, the hottunning,jamex and Jom stuff is all rubbish. There are loads of reviews on them proving that.

Save a bit more and do it right first time imo

Bench

I think a little persuasion is standard. Make sure the car is level before fitting.

Bench

Check out AP coilovers. They are mid range and offer great value for money. Can be bought from Venom motorsport.

Bench

He can provide these one you have your map. I will produce mine for track if people are interested.

Bench

He does live mapping on the rolling road and road tests. You will have to call him to discuss price as I was technically having two cars mapped?

Bench

I have owned my 2.0 litre Zed for approx 6 years now, when i first got it like most youngish lads I was 'giddy' with the prospect of achieving more power. In the end I had a Simota and Remap and at the time was happy with the results (approx 10bhp over stock). Fast forward to the present date, as so...

Bench

mine is definetely for a facelift module.

AMz as i said I will get in the loft tonight and get the part number for you.

Bench

I think it just sounds like the sensors are dirty. Mine did this for a while before one of the sensors packed up altogehter.

Pretty sure there is how to on cleaning sensors in the knowledgebase.

Bench

The ABS module is expensive. I would search for a second hand part and fit it yourself.

Bench

Can i ask what it went for? mine is similar albeit more modified. Toying with changing brand.

Bench

Holy moly.....£1500+ wow. Feel really bad for you Boysie.Didnt ever think that mice would do that much damage. Good thing you looked under the bonnet before going for a drive or else that lot may of caught fire!

Bench

I have an Aero rear bumper, brand new as bought from dealer before they stopped making them.

Bench

Yuo will have to measure as it doesnt seem like all 2.8 have have the same.

Bench

jsut because you have cleaned rears does not mean they need replacing. I cleaned mine and fault still showed up. Got the codes read replaced theone that showed faulty and had no problems.....that was two years ago.

Owned my Z3 for 6+years now, although i have owned other BMW's and Audi etc I never got rid of the Zed. Things i love about it, it can sit all winter under its cover and the second the sun turns up I can literally jump in turn the key and off she goes. I love the styling from its long bonnet and ret...

Bench

Can you hear the motor moving?

Bench

When i fitted my coil overs i replaced the top mounts with Rouge Engineering parts. Apart from refreshing worn parts i was sold with the fact that the new items would last a lot longer and are mcuh stronger and robust than oem parts.
