So the numbers.. OBDII S52, M50 mani, headers, 2.5 single, JB LTW fly. 2:93 LSD

All was done with bad vanos seals/bearing. No CCV hooked up(venting straight off VC)so the numbers will be higher once I address the issues.
Baseline first pull- 212 whp A/F 15 ��

Final # (6th pull) 235 whp 227 Tq A/F 13.1 (once fixed it should be ~245-250 whp 235 Tq.

super solid numbers! wish Dave was closer to me, to get my S52 E30 tuned on the dyno!

Where did you pick up the delphin spray paint? The lip came out great and my mirrors are in desperate need of a touch up.

Very nice indeed. Are you and your brother a part of any local BMW clubs? I am working on sprucing back up a 325i convertible E30 myself, located in Anderson.

Just an update; I am going OBDII, Markert motor works will be doing the dyno tune within the next week or so. Will post Videos and numbers. ��

Pretty damn quick I'll say that. It's just hard to keep the nose down, as it wants to come up in 4th.

what would you say the 0-60 on the bike is?

[Bimmian89]

When I come home in a couple weeks we will have to stage a race of some sort.. A Top Gear challenge, if you will. haha

I like where this is going.. 😄

Well looks like the supercharger will have to be put on stand by..

Alright so I got a Ireland engineering strut brace from a member here and it was too long for his car, so I tryed my luck since our measurments matched up and still ended up being ~ 1/8" to long. So I had a friend of mine that owns a fabrication shop work his magic on it. It feels so much better with the brace all the bumps in the road just feel so much smoother now, and handling is a lot tighter. Very happy with it.

It has like two prongs that stick out on each "clip" it just slides between those prongs and the upper lip of the valence itself. Mine only had the ones on the side so I drilled a hole in each one without the prongs and ran a zip tie through it and the lip ( lip has a slit where it slides on the prongs) on the backside so you can't see it. PM me if you need more details.

If you don't mind me asking. How does the lip attach? Because I bought a series one with a missing lip and found one, now I just need to know how to attach it. In the stock lip there are 5 screws but the side has something weird and I can't find clips or anything.
