I had the bov fittings added just in case!Great looking cooler on the car though and really fills out the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good it is, no idea but people say they are pretty good.Im umming and arring about this at the moment. Its the last thing I need and the car is "done" (Untill I get back from my Nurburing trip later on in year!). Stage 1 or Stage 2 is the big question. of course stage 2 would be better but I've read the PW stage1 is good for 350rwkw BUT that's dyno figures which mean SFA. I'd like to see MPH etc. Im only chasing just over 400rwhp (300kw)Its about $300 difference so im not sure whether its worth paying the extra or putting it towards something else that will help things along (ie extra tuning or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will allow you to make over 300 rwkw with low boost. You will thank me later when you want to fit the Plenum. The object is to increase flow through intake and exhaust, so you make more power at less boost. Arron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to the mrs to and even she said to just do it properly and go the stage 2. Not that she even knows what a fmic is lolI'm going to speak to simon about tuning it all soon without running too much boost. I figure that way I get enough power to keep me motivated but wont make too much power (maybe 260ish with standard exhaust?) and once I get back from holidays I can do clutch and a full exhaust etc etc.Anyone keen for a meetup on Friday or Saturday night??

Cat is easy enough but I think I'll keep the standard dump pipe! nah its a BF1Build date in april... Think I just missed out. Still for the price I paid brand new im still 10K in front if I pop an engine.On a side note im off to the cut a lap of the nurburing!

What's that setting you back? I'm going to be over there late September this year and was hoping to squeeze in a lap or two. I figure its something you have to do at least once in your life. How do you book tickets and what car you get? Apparently its huge fines if you get caught lapping it in a hire car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain days are all booked out by ferrari etc and Its closed after 31-10-08 for winter but theres a solid chance www.nurburgring.de or something!Basically my mrs is a 2nd year school teacher so we are limited for time but were flying perth-dubai-rome for 5 nights- Paris for 2 nights-germany for 5 nights and then dubai for 2 nights on the way home.Mrs got flight intinerary today. Basically flights are about $2300 inc all taxes. It can be had much cheaper BUT since its really our first big trip OS we figure go through a flight centre where she knows someone and get help along the way. I HATE shopping. I refuse to do it on my days off let alone my holidays so I think I can get away with it for less than 5K all up! Just see all the historical stuff which I like. Lots of photos etc. Accomodation is a big cost BUT the way I see things is that its no point spending $150 a night on a room that your only sleeping in for 8hrs a day!A mate of mine did the 'ring and it took him 3 days to get one lap. In the ring taxi (race spec M5) it costs $290au BUT your booked in so theres no chancing it. Its expensive but you dont have to worrying about lines, insurance etc. This is the option I'll go with. Its pricey for 7.30min or less BUT only live once.If you get caught lapping a hire car you WILL get a worldwide ban from that company! No if's, buts or maybes. Strong chance you will get caught but bugger it I reckon. If theres no waiting, surely any normal petrol head wouldnt hesistate!Not to mention its OCKTOBERFEST!!! Not that I drink beer but I reckon it would be fun and I could find some spirits around the placeTheres a few goals I have set for myself. I would really love to do a trip like this with the boys BUT none wanted to go and I figure paris and italy will be romantic with the mrs (EEEEEEW!!!!!!!!!)Save the boys tripd for US/Vegas I guessAaron, wont be looking at valve springs, so I guess your right Keep it all easy and simple.
