Going from 286bhp to 309 isnt that big an issue.
The M635CSi I saw you can have for $75k. Say that quickly. It is in great condition.

I think a little bit of wee just came out.You'll die from a heart attack if you see the price.

1983 BMW 635 Group A FIA Race Car. This car was originally delivered to Norway as a 630 road car and was converted early in its life into an E24 model 635 Group A Race car. The original owner Mr Tuisku took the car to BMW works team Schnitzer in 1983 to have a Schnitzer built 635 engine installed.
Following his first race where he finished 3rd, Tuisku installed BMW Motorsport front and rear axles complete with 5 speed Getrag 265/3 Gearbox.
The car was very successful and during 5 years of racing in Scandinavia, the car was more often than not on the podium.
During the mid 1980's the car was sent to Alpina for an engine rebuild, and continued to race until 1988.
The car then sold to Sweden and remained unused except for one track day in 2004 for more than 20 years.
Now rebuilt and ready to race again, the car is in great condition as can be seen from the photos.

Once again the horse has bolted!Going from 286bhp to 309 isnt that big an issue.

Probably not achieving similar investment growth as say the asx200, but still appreciating due to rarity.Once again the horse has bolted!
Not so long ago these old 6 series were overlooked.
I looked at these cars in the classifieds a few years back... and most, if not all, variants were a lot cheaper than now.

1200HP truck getting ready for pikes peak. Must watch when it has it's run.
I haven't had anything to post because I ended up selling both my VWs (my Mk2 and my 62 Beetle.) Both were turning into money pits and even though I've been into VWs for years, I lost interest in them. I don't have a project as such at the moment, but I'm driving a 1985 Corolla Liftback which I got from my mate's great aunt and it's only done 100,000km. It's pretty clean with a couple of carpark dings so I'm keeping it as stock as I can. All I've done is put a set of Zender wheels on it....where has Elbo and Hazza gone.....haven't seen em in this thread for a bit
It's gone through a fair bit of work for pikes. It's alot lighter than it looks. Pretty impressive really. I reckon it might surprise a few folk!Brass balls doing it in that with 1200hp up the mountain.
Tarmac all the way to the top now, not quite what it used to be.Brass balls doing it in that with 1200hp up the mountain.
Not unlike our Mazda 2 with Oz Racing wheels and semi slicks!I haven't had anything to post because I ended up selling both my VWs (my Mk2 and my 62 Beetle.)

Those wheels look very cool
And lousy mileage?The tyres are V720 Ecstas. I was worried about wet grip but actually they are better than the eco things that were on it from the factory. Bloody noisy though.
Start by changing the plugs and filters.Wondering if anyone has any ideas - I just bought a 1998 CR-V for $1200. Nearly mint condition with 250k kms, full service history etc. It runs very well except it has an issue bogging down at low revs, wide open throttle. Its not quite bad enough that it chugs but it definitely bogs down for a sec, say in 2nd at 2500RPM when you go foot flat to the floor. Once it gets above like 3500RPM it revs out completely fine all the way to redline. Any ideas? I see on the notes from the previous service the mechanic has written just "intake clean recommended". Could this be the issue? What does that even entail?
Cheers guys
