    cheers man. I don't think it'll see the track again until early next year unfortunately though. Very tempted to buy another car and go wild in this at jumanji nights...

    hiya mate - do you mind if i ask a question? i noticed you said you added an EGR delete to your beemer, and you got the kit that fits the landy - right? did you have any issues when fitting it? im after one myself and am toying with doing what you did as there seems to be no kit for the bm...

    cheers mate

    No problems at all, its the exact same engine. The bolt holes for the pipe that goes onto the side didn't quite line up but i just got a mate to pull it in line and shoved the bolts in. 10 minute job

    I don't have the skills for more lock yet.

    I need more time spent driving it before spending the moneys, but shall bare it in mind

    Personally I found having more lock made me learn a lot quicker. It gives you that lee way for when you have over cooked the entry and would normally just spin.
    With the extra lock it allows you to stay the direction you wanted to untill you get back in shape and can get back on the power, so at least the rest of the corner or corner after that is not ruined for practice.

    Yeah but it's money I could spend on other things, a lot needs doing before I do that, I have more than standard lock ATM anyway which helps me enough

    Literally just had to get my mate to pull on that pipe at the top of the pic enough to get the first bolt though it. If you look at the way its mounted to the egr, its slightly offset, but its offset the wrong way

    Great thread, I've been trying to work out the differences between these tuning boxes and as you have stated all they all do is pump up the fuel rail pressure, not sure if the more expensive Dastek boxes do any more ???

    Keep up the good work though bud ;) Derv drifting ftw.

    No problem man


    don't know about the more expensive ones. I'm sure the ones for more modern cars will do a lot more
