Re: FT86 = 86 (Hachiroku) / GT86 !!! The car was designed for younger people and younger people generally start off with lower income. Not accounting for that 1-2% of Singapore's Mark Zuckerberg or inheritance money. More horsepower means wider tyres for better traction which drives up...

Re: The Break Downs on Rallies or, you could file down 2011 and re-brand as 2012. I'm quite flexible. 8-) I figured if the kart arrives in Singapore mid to late dec, it might be worth waiting for a Jan 2012 engine. Let me know when you are available for fitting. Weather forecast rain...

Re: The Break Downs on Rallies I was hoping we won't have to wait for a few months. Please keep a look out of my engine. January estimates is cutting a little too close. :| With all that rain in Dec, I thought I could take the opportunity to fine hone my aspirations of becoming a wet...

Re: Fake E63 AMG Is the owner on this forum ? I don't get it. Why ///M8 ? Took this couple of years ago. Still puzzles me today. Is it M3 or 323. M3 badge is synonymous with the larger E46 M3 badge. E9X generation M3 has slimmer M3 badge. Took this last year in Perth.

I thought I do a break down on Rallies in simplified terms since there is so much talk about Circuits. Rallies are an entirely different style of driving compared to circuit but the end-goal and built are identical in principles to circuit. It is one that fascinates me. Brief History and WRC...

Re: is this suitable for track? Because you intend to use a helmet for track. That helmet is intended for road use only. Helmets intended for Track use have their own testings, ratings, benchmark. If you intend to purchase a helmet for track purpose, make sure they are FIA, Snell...

Re: Buying online Have you tried calling the freight company ? The whole idea of a tracking number is to know where your goods are at any given time. My understanding is that the freight company has already picked up the goods otherwise they would not be able to issue you a tracking number...

Re: Buying online Its imperative you get an ETA from the company you purchase from regardless in Singapore or Overseas. Here's why 1) Some times firm quote you ETA based on time it takes from their company to arrive at your door step, however item not in stock or if product not made...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? Is your exhaust stock ? If the CEL lit up and extinguished shortly after, I would not be too worried just yet. Just drive as you usually would and continue to monitor. In saying that, it may be a tell tail sign your EGT sensor may be...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? That's rather strange. Could there have been a loss of traction and DSC that lighted up instead ? Have a look at the E46 M3 Instrument Cluster. This is a 2011 740i. CEL is a the symbol you see on the right There are a range of...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? The blink of the gear number indicator happens when the gearbox is changing gears and is not yet ready. When the gear is ready, this is indicated with a solid number. Blink once if you are at 100% throttle. Supercharged E46 M3 0-60 Easy...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? The 0-70% throttle experiment is really to find out if the speed at which SMG changes gear is based on throttle or RPM parameters. Although the SMG changes from 1st to 2nd quickly under 70% throttle application, it also puts more stress on the...

Re: ///Milestone 300km/h symbol looks a bit worn out there Ryan. Been illegally street racing much ? :D

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? Hi Drk, That lag you refer to from 1st to 2nd gear is normal. I have tried updating the SMG II software to the lastest patch and SMG clutch relearn. Both of which did not provide any noticeable difference in Shifts, in fact none at all...

Re: M3 engine blow up? Allow for 3-5% in Speedometer inaccuracy and factor in Parallax error, maybe it might be near 300kph.

Re: M3 engine blow up? Its interesting how this is happening again. We saw this same problem with 01-03 M3s regarding con rod bearings failure. I'm quite certain there was a recall for all 01s thru 03s in Aust. 04s onwards had new bearings. This was a few years back but when I was...

Re: M3 engine blow up? That is normal. Just some expansion and contraction going on with Drilled ventilated rotors. Happens when you give the brakes a tough time. This ticking sound is even louder in brake and ambient temp differential. When I pitted after 5 laps which include cooling...

Re: M3 engine blow up? Had a 2008 E92 M3 DCT. Been to the track 3 - 4 times. Runs fine. Always thought 2008 was the problematic one but 2011 ? Luck of the Irish ?

Re: Anyone knows Richard Paul For a start, he's asking for photos of a car. Paul is either not in this country or he could have seen the car personally himself or he's trying to bait you to see if you're the "compliant" type. Compliant type has higher tendency of accommodating to whatever...

Re: Girl gets run over twice and no one cared Lets count the number of days till some poor mother and daughter does a fake replica of this event. In devastation there is opportunity.
