Absolutely, hope you're healing up well mate!

Cheers mate, yeah it's perfect at the moment isn't it! Long may the belated British summer continue 😂

Send me your email and I'll get back to you 👍

Way to much..

Yes still going fine and now done over 130k miles (60k as mapped). No problems with it but it's well maintained. Turbos have been refurbed once at about 120k as pre-emptive maintenance but there wasnt anything beyond normal wear and tear found when they were dismantled during the refurb so could likely have kept going for a lot longer without a refurb.

@Johnny It has a few mods, mostly geared towards fast road. Mirtop Stepped Intercooler 3" Turbo back exhaust system with Darkside Developments universal DPF. FTP Alloy charge pipes Bosche CP4.2 high pressure fuel pump and modified rail for 4 cylinders. RS Tuning Remap to 290bhp 600Nm on Dyno Dynamics RR Bilstein B12 Pro kit Strongflex Poly rear subframe bushes M3 LCAs front Tyrant camber Plates BMWP 6 pot front brake calipers Mtec discs, ebc yellow pads BIMMEC wheel spacers Few more but those are the main ones.

''It has few mods'' haha dying..really nice man, congrats!.. I've got e82 123d m tech for about a year now.. fully stock, a fantastic car, and i've been thinking it for over half a year for a remap and maybe a dpf delete, maybe but I haven't done it.. not sure if it's worth it?

Johnny No need for dpf delete, despite what some people might tell you it doesn't cause any problems if tuned correctly and it keeps it clean for road use. Even mine still has a dpf, all be it not the original and I've had no issues. Spool times, power and EGTs are barely affected at all unless you want a rich smokey tune. A remap is great and worth the money if you want more power. Just make sure to use a reputable tuner with a rolling road and absolutely not a run of the mill man in a van using a generic map not specific to your car.

@@LorenzoClara97 Yes it's been very reliable. It has had oil changes every 10k miles and the diff and gearbox oils also get changed every 2 years. It's never missed a beat mechanically. It's only been on a couple of track days but it's seen off over 120,000 miles in total and still runs great. Usual wear and tear things like bushes and struts been replaced to keep the handling in check. Runs same engine temperature on a track day as just cruising on a motorway, never had trouble with overheating and exhaust gas temps stay under 900C as well, usually around 650C on a track day, 300C motorway.

@@SheffieldMTB thanks! So 290hp on stock turbos? It is the limit? I don't want more, I think that 270 for me would be the sweet spot also for reliability and to match the punto abarth power but with tons more torque I really want to try a diesel, all the torque every moment would be so good in the herpins.. I don't know why people don't drive them more on track here in italy.. I mean, the sound and smoke is shit but 290hp from a diesel and 290hp from a petrol engine are the same thing, if the gearbox like on the 123d is with the right ratios revving up a petrol engine with the same power to 8k I think it is useless

Adam Turner Some are some aren’t, I went about six months ago and all wooden trail features and jumps are gone but there is still some single track there

Got a 1275cc A+ MG Metro engine + gearbox which has a very short final drive. Totally standard engine but runs really well. HIF44 carb which had the needle tuned on a rolling road at minisport. K&N cone filter, Maniflow LCB manifold and fletcher single exit exhaust system :)

When I rolling roaded my metro engine, 1275 with stage 1, it got 74bhp @ fly. I think the spi is about 63bhp @ fly from memory.
