335's are a great car, as are 135's, in fact I'd love to campaign a 135 in the Showroom category at Targa Tas and give these Evo boys a run :(

The problem is that you just know the next generation will be better, where as the 34 is really the last of and pinnacle of it's breed. The ultimate itineration of that platform.

Yes, there is a 35 now, but in a few years it will not be looked upon fondly, it will merely be a stepping stone to what will be a truly great car (hopefully), likely the R37? :(

I've been using it, but I think it would probably be better if they used GPS for the speed and distance rather than trying to derive those from accellerometer, time and clever maths. Good comparitive tool, but the performance figures seem a bit off to me.

grab an ariel atom, http://www.arielmotor.co.uk for the sheer fun factor, and a stagea 260rs rb26dett for normal driving :blush:

got all the room and performance you need in the Stagea twin turbo awd, and the Atom for "far-out" moments :D

I'd love the looks of struggling out of an Exige at a formal dinner :happy:

E46 M3 for all round power, looks, comfort and its a BMW! (Quality)

i love these probably one of my ultimate fairly affordable dream cars. Not sure how much extra power can be achieved since they seemed to be tuned fairly heavily but that high revving 3.2l 6 cylinder sounds so good

335 is a very nice car... looks good from every angle, which is hard to achieve IMO

still I mustn't do enough driving... never understood why people want 'luxury' and 'comfort' in their cars... those are things I want at home... when out driving I want to enjoy myself, enjoy the act of driving... even if its just to work... I don't want a mobile living room!

Believe it or not, some people actually buy them because they're awesome cars to drive...

Funny that :) haha.

Although ultimately, my opinion counts for nothing, tasteful modification isnt such a bad idea.

Seriously add 200kw and then think about it.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
