    Put headers that are known to flow, run a 3" exhaust, and you'd probably crack 300 crank.

    I'd just supercharge it. Much better power per dollar.
    rated at 282 stock. I'm settling with "any flow" headers rather than "high flow" because they have to fit in the E28, but I'll make them as best I can.

    Supercharging may happen, but it will probably be a custom unit.

      Current mods:

      3.5" intake, HFM, TB Boot
      75mm VAC Throttle Body
      M50 Manifold
      24lb Injectors
      Metric Mechanic Cams
      Riceland Headers
      Active 3" Exhaust
      Fan Delete
      UDPs
      Active custom tune

      Red line: All above bolt-ons, stock cams and TB.
      Green Line: Same as above, stock TB
      Blue Line: All of the above

      Nice numbers chris! So a custom tune and TB gave you 12hp?



      I posted this on the forum elsewhere, but I'm hopping that you guys might have some ideas too.

      Hi guys, I'm trying to remove the shocks for service on my E30 M3 H&R coil overs, but I ran into a bit of a problem. All the strut's i've serviced before have a collar that you can remove and the strut slides out, but this shock is a much different design, and I don't see any locking mechanism. Before I mess something up, I was wondering if anybody has removed a shock like this before?

      Here are some pictures:

      Any ideas? :huh:

        ^^ That looks like someone took a shock and welded it to an E30 hub. I see no tube there, just the shock body itself.

          It's an E30 M3 strut that H&R in Germany modified into a coil over. I've never seen one with a strut that is such a large diameter relative to the strut. Even my new AST's don't have that large of a shaft (that's what she said...)

          AST: 22mm
          H&R/Bilstein: 40mm

              Eric: Flip the strut over, there should be a nut on the bottom that holds the strut cartridge inside the inverted housing.

                  Saw the nut after taking off the roll center spacers, thanks!

                      What would your price be for them without my strut housings in return? or is that not an option? PM me if you'd like.

                      NVM, just read your FS thread. :(

                          Beautiful weather today out at HPR. Not much wind. Improved my personal best in the M3 to a 2:00.3 lap. 1:59s were in it but I ran out of tire (Nitto NT01s) and fuel and decided to call it a day.

                          Oil pressure gauge needs a debug, but everything worked flawlessly otherwise. Awesome day! I can't wait to put some Hoosiers on and go 1:5x!
