Request / idea for the forum

Any thoughts as to maybe putting together a FAQ to answer all basic / "introductory" questions as far as FI goes w/ BMW's?

For example:

1 - "I just bought a 19XX BMW 3 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 2002 and I want turbo / supercharger . . who makes this for my car?

Answer:

A. Active Autowerke - Mild to extreme turbo / supercharger bolt on kits and full builds.
B. Technique Tuning - Mild to extreme " " " " " etc . . .
C. ICS Performance

Include websites, phone numbers and brief descriptions to / of each company or distributor, lock the thread and only allow people to chime in with reviews of new parts (I.E - "New cometic h.gasket came out, really affordable, here's my review" etc . . . )

It's just an idea since there's nothing but threads like "Who makes turbo for my 1994 325i ?), rather they could refer to the FAQ and make up their own mind.

Just a thought $0.02

This is the last joy ride this speed freak will be taking for a while after they give him a list of charges that reads like a shopping list."

Current project:

1995 //M3 - 2 door, 5 speed - Cosmos Black
- Rogue engineering shock tower mounts
- UUC street / track transmission mounts
- JT-Designs aluminum underbody paneling
- Active Autowerke 3" intake
- Active Autowerke differential support bracket

Stockish for now, and love it

Cameron! What's up?

That would be a massive help to post that as a thread here.

It would eliminate the 5,xxx,xxx posts that never really get answers of brand new members trying to seek out a good quality kit / upgrade(s).

By the way, I've been meaning to write to see, do you still have the GT30R for sale by any chance? I've been trying to find one I could rebuild and put w/ the kit I'm building for mine. I like the looks of the T4 you're installing. Is your manifold available still? Let me know, I'm interested.

I sold the GT30R over 6 months ago. My entire turbo system and engine were sold in November I think.

I'll start that thread here on dtm even though most of the links are on bfc. Oopsie.

Thanks for the compliments. I hope to have my engine in the car in 3 weeks or so to start the crazy piping.
