Haha, I see. No, just referring to those 2 buildings. I only visited twice before but love the place. I remember walking through that exact part of the city. Have you lived anywhere else or did you grow up there? My fave place in Asia, definitely. Here's a pic I took (pls excuse the lousy photo-taking) w/ the durian in the backgrd. Btw, I assume that all the casinos are up-and-running by now or is there new construction?

There are, actually went to the Valencia track on sunday, MotoGP was on, but they never allow normal cars on the track. The track-day concept is not well known in spain.

just went for another dyno after installing a couple other mods. the car is pushing 400bhp. the magical figure im after for power. from now, its just gonna be handling mods such as coilovers and better brakes. I thought stocks brakes were good, but with the car pushing extra 100bhp, will need something more confident inspiring!


dyno chart to follow shortly

[Alext]

What power mods you got now Sg-e89?

[dcs2k]

just had the stett intercooler installed. power is awesome with jb3




heres a dyno comparing same car different day . lower line depict stock car with nil mods after engine break in at 2000km mileage. the higher figure shows the car with all the current mods including the FMIC recently installed. I will post a separate thread once I have everything in.





red line as stock car making 257.2whp, which corelate to stock 306bhp after drivetrain loss of 20%. ( using the same formula, the current mods will yield me in excess of 400bhp, enough for most applications.

It must be really good fun!

[Johnson118]

[dcs2k]

[Land_Shark]

Are they only for the front? Any rear yet for the 35i??

[dcs2k]

yes they are only for the fronts, though unoffically I heard one can get the rear calipers to work, only thing is your ebrake function will be disabled.

I got a pair of matching rear rotors to go wit the front 380mm ones.

[Land_Shark]

Thanks sg-e89

Photo journey of the the Brembo BBK kit that I had it installed couple days back.


Brembo released a 4 pot and a 6 pot caliper BBK for the Z4. I opt for the 6 pot as Eric from SupremePower was offering a too good to rsist deal. For those considering the 6 pot , PLEASE make sure your rims can clear the BBK. My BBS wheels barely had a clearance of 2-3mm.



Kit freshly out of the box.








wheels dismantled





my new tires - better than PS2!





BBS RE-V wheels





dust cover had to go to fit the brembos





The new rotors





comparing the stock system vs the brembos





This is how small the clearance gets





installation done finally





another photo of the car with the bbk installed

A shot of the brembo kit installed!

[Land_Shark]

rear will only be possible if I am willing to sacrifice the e brakes. gonna convince my girlfriend its not gonna be safety issue first. Meanwhile, I plan to get matching rear rotors to complement the front. maybe even spray the rear caliper the same color!

Thanks carbon! its not that obvious during street driving.As I plan to track the car often, the calipers and steel braided hose, plus race pads will assist greatly. Will be posting a review on it the soonest I get some time to hit the track
