Just noticed you're from Scotland. Will we be seeing you at any of our meets? Full details @ http://www.newtongrove.demon.co.uk/bmwcc . Our monthly meet is the last Sunday of the month and we're off to Crail for a track day again 31/5/2003. Come and say hello :-)

All depends how serious you are... when you say the performance increase is not for the road, do you have a purpose in mind? Track? 1/4 Mile? Does the car have to remain road-legal?

To improve your performance consider :

  • Induction kit, exhaust (de-cat?) and a mappable chip. Maybe Cams.
  • Weight Loss - can be far more effective than power increases for less money.
  • Stick with smaller diameter, light wheels to decrease unsprung weight.
  • Maybe a different differential to increase acceleration.
  • If you're spending more money, look at superchargers, turbos  or Nitrous Oxide injection.

HTH,

Duncan

  Someone out there must have a few suggestions- how do I reduce my 0-100 time for reasonable money, I would add--any extra performance is not for normal road use

 Is a cam change best , should I chip it,or both ,   your experiance on this model could help
