Wont be telling you any secrets Wayne..:biggrin:

WAY · 07-16-2008, 07:51 AM

Come on, being the test mule for everyone is difficult. I need to let it out sometimes! Lol.

BlackSapphire · 07-16-2008, 09:12 AM

Slightly OT -

but can Andrew or any Syd based 1'ers recommend a similar BMW performance shop up here?
Obviusly there are any number out there, but I'd love to find a local one who would have the same helpful and knowledgable attitiude as Andrew.

Cheers

Andrew, between your post on DA and Waynes on here, I'll admit, my ears are perked up and to attention.....

Bring on Sunday!

I've had some work done on my MINI by Peak Performance. They're very good and have been around for decades. Their specialty is BMWs and they have a car or two competing in the BMW Drivers Club championship. I will be keeping a close eye on what they can offer for the 135i.

WAY · 07-16-2008, 07:29 PM

Yeah Nick at Peak has good reputation. Guran, Avril was down here on a track day last week and she mentioned you. This thread reminds me of that as I know Nick looks after her car too.

Be patient. But let's just say that it's worth your ears perking up!

Nope! We stay away from tunes. I can't wait too see what your getting. Because if it works like the current tunes on the market. Your DP and tune will really extract the max power out of eachother.

WAY · 07-16-2008, 11:20 PM

Anthony, the tune sure makes the most out of the DP and vise versa. We have actually dynoed it yesterday right after we dynoed with just the DP. And it is very impressive. I am happy!

As for testing something for you...bring it on!

Will do, I don't want too thread jack. So back on topic SPILL THE BEANS! :headbang:

WAY · 07-16-2008, 11:26 PM

Andrew is very cautious about releasing any information as is the chip tuner themselves because we all agreed that this is only a test and we have to make sure that everything runs smoothly, especially with regards to MSD81/v29.2 and fault codes. We had no fault codes yesterday after a short drive, but we will test it for a few days to make sure. I have done about 70km without any issue whatsoever. Smooth all the way! I really am loving this.

I know what its like having to keep things close to the vest. No need to explain too me.

However, the fact that you have no faults on first test phase is amazing. Was that with the DP on too? Did you have a chance to tune it with the DP or was this just a first baseline?

WAY · 07-16-2008, 11:53 PM

Yes this is with the DP on it. But this is only a baseline tune. So there is potentially more to come!

I hope it's going to include some hard driving at a track day as part of the testing :headbang:

WAY · 07-16-2008, 11:59 PM

No opportunity for that. Unless you know of track days in the next week or so? But I am going to do some 0-100kmh run with Taka's super GPS device that is accurate to 0.01s on this sort of runs. I am no good at these things though so expect 5.7s like Motor mag! Lol. Anyone want to volunteer a car so we can see what a stock car does?

smarm · 07-17-2008, 12:23 AM

There was something at Sandown this Sunday from memory, but I think it was a driver dynamics advanced driving course.

If you're after some company testing it out, I've got a week free with nothing to do.

I'd be quite interested to see if it throws up any fault codes with 20mins of hard track driving.
