You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I'd hate to have 100k to spend on a car

Suck it up princess

Don't necessarily have 100k to spend on a car... I do ok but it's more about having to continually purchase material things to make my life somewhat bearable. Not a very sustainable lifestyle but you get that

At least cars and bikes are better than hookers/cocaine

PM to discuss them feels if you wish

Also I believe the whole expensive to maintain stigma comes from the fake rich yuppies who know nothing about cars. They also leasing a car way beyond their means.

I think too it's also the wait time for parts, if it's a part that's not in stock expect to wait and people will bitch about it

yeah but cars and bikes plus hookers and cocaine is the best of both worlds no?

Thanks for the offer but I'll just keep dealing with it the way I do...

yeh.

5.5 twin turbo. late 2014 apparently.

they're hoping for 430kw though. the current 507 does 373kw.

driven the e63? thing is a menace

CLA looks gangster but that's really starting to stretch the budget.

Alex, you own your A5 or lease? PM if you want.

I'm gonna go ahead and say lease here.

Knowing Al I am going to assume he sees it as more savvy to use his capital to constantly invest rather than throwing it as a lump on a depreciating asset.

Lease my brother with my work I get mad returns on tax out of it otherwise id be cruisin in a Kia fo real.

Cla isn't as good in real life IMO something about the back slope seems goofy / less elegant than full size cls

Still nice though

If you want something nice Dezz id say spend 50-70 you'll get a very nice low kms good nick prestige car for that and you won't wear the pain of the 50% price drop in first 2 odd years

Cla is a bit of a stretch for a 4 cyl turbo.

But has heaps of street presence, 265 kw fuel economy is actually in existence.. Full new warranty servicing etc financed.

f**k those things go hard as well post-77654-13866295148547_thumb.jpgpost-77654-13866295267874_thumb.jpgpost-77654-13866295375879_thumb.jpg

That's the work one lol post-77654-13866295698368_thumb.jpgpost-77654-1386629583697_thumb.jpg

But in saying that, driving dat v8 507 around last week was such a pleasure! Really have a different appreciation after getting in one.

The normal c63 (non 507) go for about $100k at auctions. And that's stretching it. Should look into that as an option. May end up walking away with something better for a lot cheaper

And not sAying this as a biased opinion.. The depreciation of BMW is fkn shocking. The safety features on merc seriously outrank the rest. And I've tested that at sandown lol

Only had a quick glance but seemed to be second hand ones going for $100k...

Don't wanna go too old if I do go second hand though.. What kind of engine/power are they stock? I know nothing about BMW models

I like em, but too old. Maybe a 35..

Price VS Performance... Is what I am looking at... Comparing to the 335i.

R34 GTR = $40,000 + $10K or $15K = Win!

Yeah R35 is sweet.

But yeah, up to you...

Sure a 335i is a sweet car and different characteristics.

You driven one yet?

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
