speaks for your driving skills

 

Tobibeck Thanks for the complement on my driving. I have been autocrossing 8 years now. I just started doing track days last year. before that I raced a R6 Yammaha cycle. I also did the 24 hours of Lemons race last year. will do it again next year. http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/

Flobeck.
So what software do you like - reccomend ? I am looking to reprogram the ECUs for a M52 engine Non and Vanos engines.
Or am I assuming its easy? Is it more than software and a wiring harness. Plus the code- mappings?

Thanks

It isn´t that easy here in Germany.
The local tuning market isn´t comparable with the US market.
Damn, some of the germans even think that the americans like the Fast& the Furious style!!^^
Here it´s very easy to get rims, cheap headlamps and some suspensions.
For the real stuff, like turbochargers, engine builds and so on, u have to know where u can find it!

There are some Shops specialized for motorsport, like Sandtler, but as i mentioned, it all has it´s price.....but at Sandtler you can find nearly everything you need to get your car ready for the track!
This guy with his E30 Turbo i posted, he´s getting his turbochargers from sweden.....they´re real cracks in turbocharging cars.

We don´t have precast software or mappings for free sale.....as far i know!
For example, if u drive a japanese car, u can simply buy a G-Reddy e-Manage, plug it in and setup the maps......u won´t find ANYTHING comparable for german cars, even here in germany.
The big tuners like Hartge, Hamann, G-Power or Regelin are keeping their ecu tweaks secret and they want to see good money for it.
Regelin for example wants 700€ for flashing the ECU and doing 2 dyno runs, one before and one after the ecu flash.
Of course u can buy a free programmable ECU and do the settings by your own, but thats not quite easy!^^

Or you know someone, one of my customers knows a guy who once worked at Hartge (45min from where i live), that guy tweaked the customers ECU for ~300€.

what are you trying to do??

 

It's been forever since i have been on TR. Glad to see the bmw forum has started to move along. I'm currently living in Jax but plan on moving back to Tampa in the near future. Anyway, onto my DD 92 325i







Those are the most recent pics i have. A few things have changed. Tinted clears and tails, along with some more suspension and interior work.

 

Here is mine:

Right now I have JuiceBox Stage 2, Dual Cone intake and the Exhaust mod (wide open all the time)
