Hey man,

I'm very interested in the BBS Body Kit, Is it still for sale? If so how much do you want for it?

I'm really interested in this kit so I emailed info@racehead.com.au but I got a bounce back that the email didn't work.



I'm based in Canada and I have a LHD 1991 e30 318is so I'm very interested in this kit.

1) I'm in for a group buy but would also be happy to work with you on measuring for a custom 3d printed airbox.

2) What ECU should I run? Stock ok?

3) I need to replace my exhaust. Did you figure out what diameter works best?

Thanks for putting in the time to get this kit developed for us m42 guys

1) I'll let Rama know that you're interested in doing a custom airbox. Before you make up your mind, keep in mind that there will be a delay between you fitting the kit - then measuring up your airbox - posting me a foam plug - it getting modelled - you printing it - and then driving your car. It could be 1~2 months before you can drive the car again. It can be done though - I designed my 3D printed box while I was ~3000kms away from my car from pictures and measurements my friend sent me.

2) Stock ECU will work fine, a custom tuned ECU will work much better and a stand-alone ECU will be ideal.

3) If you're keeping it on the road - stock diameter (2" or 1.75" ID I think it was) is the most sensible choice. You will get much less drone, and a more usable power curve in the low RPM. If you go up, you will get a bit more peak power, but you will lose area under the curve in the low RPM. If you want more power but same street use, use the ITB kit as shipped, and the stock exhaust diameter with a straight muffler and high-flow cat, if you want more power and a peaky drive - go up half an inch from stock and shorten the ITB kit!

Send me a PM so that I know who to message once I get the group buy sorted.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I've PMd you about my interest in the group buy. As the car is my daily, I think I'll just have to go with the modified stock airbox (FRP) with curved trumpet.
