One of the big companies started using 3D printed intake trumpets inside their air box which were totally unsuitable and started delaminating and being eaten by the engine
Cheers, Harry

Re: Harry’s Garage
It's probably sometimes a blessing to not be too handy with spannering... that way you don't begrudge giving it to someone else to sort out.Rich B wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 6:44 amYou're building an M3 graveyard - sort them out!integrale_evo wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:33 amI’ve got a hamann motorsport one to go on if I ever finish welding it up and get it back on the road
Re: Harry’s Garage
Was an AFE intake on my Z4M. No carbon and sounded brilliant but was pretty much a cone filter in a box. Was around 300 quid from memory. The most popular carbon jobs for the Z4M/M3s were made by GruppeM and were closer to 900 quid, which felt like daft money.

It's common to apply the CSL alignment to them which you can match aside from a bit of -ve front camber without changing any components.
I had a Z4M roadster for a couple of years and did half a dozen track days and a Euro road trip. It never stepped out on me unless I was provoking it (CSL settings). I had a Boxster S Sport Edition on sports suspension afterwards and it was a far more precise and enjoyable road car.
They’re a bit of a blunt instrument really. Absolutely loved mine regardless.
Re: Harry’s Garage
I went for an AFE intake on my 6 series, the GruppeM one wasn't even properly sealed so it seemed a bit much at near £1000 for a carbon fibre sheet with a K&N cone filter.Maurice wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 5:06 pmWas an AFE intake on my Z4M.

How about not having a sig at all?

I didn't realise just how small those Ginettas are.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Love these auction preview videos. Good to see a variety of cars.
I’ll take the 308 at the beginning, the Viper Green 911S 2.4, and the two S1 Elises please.

Re: Harry’s Garage
NSX is lovely but mad to think it has a slushbox. Prime cadidate for a gearbox conversion methinks.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Believe this is the actual ECOTY winning car. To state the bleeding obvious, I'd much rather have last week's manual CSL.
Re: Harry’s Garage
For the money that was sat at, I'd have a 997 GT3 and spend the rest on coke/whores etc. Sounded lovely mind.speedingfine wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 6:57 pm

Re: Harry’s Garage
Yes same here, the very best 997.1 GT3 for that price, or 997.2 GT3 if not fussy about specs. Or Boxster GTS 4.0, 981 GT4/Spyder.....
Very nice the M2 CS, but the CSL is more desirable to me.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Not a fan of gold rims but the the M2 have always looked great. I like the CS but Harry's correct, there are lots of competition in that price bracket. The massive calipers and tiny gap between the rim seems a bit idiotic to me.

Re: Harry’s Garage
I see Chris Harris just bought a new CS on Instagram. Blue looks so much better than black.

Re: Harry’s Garage
