I'll include an extra set of bushings (softer than the ones that are included). Also, one set of Turner RSMs. $60 + shipping for either set. -kit, who went back to E46 RSMs

Sean <sburke@ee.net> writes: Has anyone had any experience running 235's on the front and 245's on the rear on an M3 with ASC? Is there enough difference in diameter to set the ASC off at speed? I doubt the slight difference in rolling radius of a 235/40 tyre vs the stock 225/45 would give the ASC cause for alarm - it's only 7 mm. Or, put another way, the circumference of 235/40 is 97.7% that of 225/45. This is in the same ballpark as the differences between tyres of the same size from different manufacturers, and differences between new and borderline-legal tread depths on the same tyre. Andy T

Depending on where you're located, Nick Alexander (West Coast) or the BMW Store (Cincinnati) both offer substantial discounts by mail order. You don't say which plastic pieces you broke, but most are not terribly expensive. Neil 96 M3

#8. Re: [E36M3] Positive Displacement vs. Centrifugal superchargers - NO M3 content but still great - from Matt Henson

I'd expect that you'd probably keep this engine in the 6K-8K rev range when driving it hard, racing, etc. In this range we see that the PD blowers, at 6lbs of boost are getting an average of ~85HP more than stock. The centrifugal unit is also averaging an 85HP increase - with only 4lbs of boost. If the centrifugal unit had been running 6lbs then we'd see that it would best the PD units by ~40HP. Plus.. the centrifugal is so much more efficient that it will put less heat into the air charge, which will allow them to run even _more_ boost (hence the 9psi kit) than the PD. While it is true that the PD will give you more torque, which is good for AutoX and smoking the tires from the stoplights, the centrifugal unit is giving the maximum power under the operating curve when doing any real racing. -Matt --- Wayne Miller <m3@waynemiller.com> wrote: > Why am I posting this to the M3 list? > Look at the last few > pages of the report for the best head-to-head > comparison of the systems > that I have ever seen and judge for yourself why > every manufacturer goes > for the positive displacement blower and why that is > what I would really > prefer to put on my M3 if one ever becomes > available.

You gotta shoehorn that sucka in there somehow. There was some crazy dude in Australia that managed to install a Whipple SC where the intake plenum is installed. Very nice.
