what have you done to it so it makes 670hp cus that's pretty cool

Why thank you..
Here's a list;
Stage 3 full remap
Full Milltek kit
Hybrid Turbos

That's what I've done to it, but the original owner before me, had tweaked around, I recall it has compression lowering headgaskets and side mounted intercoolers when I received it, but that's all I remember off the top of my head.

Edit: it may actually have a little more, or a little less than 670, I'll have to get a new dyno print out soon.

I bought a clay bar kit last week and was finally able to use it today after all the rain. I didn't quite get the results I wanted, and the difference isn't very noticeable, but it did help and the paint is definitely smoother.

What results were you trying to achieve? All a clay bar will do is make your paint smoother and remove very minor imperfections such as light scuffs and surface contaminants etc... Anything more severe would require a DA Polisher and some polishing compounds.

I was hoping it would reduce a couple really bad areas on the hood, and a few random scratches/scuffs but it didn't. But it did remove some minor things, and definitely made it smoother. I think I misunderstood what it was supposed to do before buying it.

A lot of people don't really understand clay bars. Check out reddit.com/r/autodetailing and post a few pics of what you're trying to get rid of and they will tell you exactly what needs to be done. I've learned a bunch of stuff since subscribing there.

Got the Gen 3 skirts then I take it?

 

[Cale]

Yup, found two already removed from a couple cars in the junk yard. Paid $20.

Jesus that's a steal. I'm surprised you got them in that colour too, I think I've only seen one Gen 3 in that colour, once.

Just needs a GT-B rear bumper.

 

[Cale]

All non Limited/H6 here had that color. I like the OB bumper.

H6s are fairly uncommon over here, sadly. More GT-Bs or TS-Rs.

They were all autos over here anyways.

Welp. Didn't they make something like 250ish in manual guise?

 

[Cale]

3rd gens made 212-ish with 4spd auto, and 4th gens made 250 then 245 with 5 spd auto

Welp. Torque must have been more of it's forte to make up for that power loss.

I magically made my rims black today and I love it.

 

[SuperVeloce]

^ Me likey! I've considered getting some of the Y shaped rims from the NC2/3 and painting them dark.

Here's mine since I fitted the hardtop (yes it was blazing hot that day, but I had/have nowhere to store it)

New Car! 2008 BMW 135i (6spd) with 64,000kms. I've had it for a few weeks now, so I took it to the track on Saturday. Understeers quite a bit mid-late corners, so I'll be looking to do some mods to help turn in.

Nice, do you still run it with the Open diff? (The BMW electronic braking one isn't really the best)

Getting matte black wheels soon, thank god. I hate the chrome haha.

Which wheels are you going with? New tires as well?

Well, since I'm 17 and don't have a well-paying job yet, I'm not getting anything too fancy haha.

These are what I was thinking of going with. They're 15x8 +15. I'm getting new tires as well, 205/50/15. I don't exactly know what brand I'm getting yet. This is my first car so I'm kinda a noob with all of this stuff

I've changed what wheels I wanted multiple times now. I'm stuck between those or a 5/6 spoke.

For now, though I hope to have an LSD for next summer (money permitting of course).I just cant believe BMW would give this car an open diff, it makes no sense.
Bought M3 front control arms yesterday to add some camber, hopefully that will help the understeer.

I've got the Quaife diff on my car, it works brilliantly. Just a shame the 1 series is too damn heavy

Looks like a fun place. No trouble with the cops right...?
