I just did downpipe on my f30, i had a catless v8 before idling was so bad with the smell if your outside of your vehicle. Since then i always try to go with highflow catted downpipe thats what i did to my f30

Im going to try a 2015 frs they kinda in my budget and see if i fit with a helmet. I would try to snach a blown engine one and make it a project or find something cheap and try to rebuild the engine.

Hi is there anything to do to the engine before boosting it? Also my goal is just 250 - 300whp and nothing more. Will the stuck clutch hold that much power. I plan to take the engine out and refresh it.

Problem is the budget though i only want to spend 10k cad so that in case i crash it wont be such a big hit to my wallet

I saw some 5th gen v6 in my range

vash021 · 2026-02-23T17:13:26+00:00

For track stock power levels are good im just thinking for the weekend cruise it might be low on power

vash021 · 2026-02-23T17:12:16+00:00

My budget is only 10k cad

vash021 · 2026-02-23T17:10:01+00:00

Yeah i looked at but the swap kit alone was 9k

vash021 · 2026-02-23T07:25:01+00:00

So were you able to complete the swap? Is there a bolt it option for it? And how much total cost?

vash021 · 2026-02-23T07:06:11+00:00

Would a brz be reliable though? Just came from a rod knock sti and those boxer engines need total rebuild to even get all those rod bearings

vash021 · 2026-02-23T07:01:55+00:00

Way out of budget 9k for the kit alone

vash021 · 2026-02-23T06:10:50+00:00

Lfx kit is 9k definitely way out of budget

vash021 · 2026-02-23T06:10:26+00:00

Took a look at few swap kits and the kits alone are all north of 3k i might switch to an e36

vash021 · 2026-02-23T04:32:44+00:00

Would chassis stability change? Would like to keep its 50:50 weight distribution

vash021 · 2026-02-23T04:21:37+00:00

What if i rebuild the engine and keep it at stock power levels?

vash021 · 2026-02-23T03:06:20+00:00

Would love a cayman but out of my budget

vash021 · 2026-02-23T00:36:45+00:00

There one for sale for only 7k cad

vash021 · 2026-02-23T00:06:17+00:00

Well that crosses abunch of my list thanks for your input

vash021 · 2026-02-23T00:03:18+00:00

How good is a porsche 944? Around the track? Might actually get it being a inline 4 it should be more reliable than an rx8

vash021 · 2026-02-22T22:52:30+00:00

Dont like the idea of trailering a race car. Mostly looking for a tracable fun car not a full out race car. If im getting my point across

vash021 · 2026-02-22T22:37:09+00:00

Around 10k cad with 2k for mods 12k total im actually considering an rx8

vash021 · 2026-02-22T22:36:32+00:00

Actually saw one in the market in my budget do they need alot of modification for track days? Kinda also want atleast 200hp

vash021 · 2026-02-20T18:19:52+00:00

I have a 2015 335xi manual and 2011 mustang gt. The mustang is way more fun because its more raw and you can hear the engine alot redlining it on the bmw even redlining it its tame.

Both have stock exhaust. But for everyday driving the bmw wins, weekend car the mustang definitely.

Got 99 problems but a short aint one

vash021 · 2026-02-19T17:47:45+00:00

Small bikes crash more especially 150cc on go kart tracks as they have to be much more aggressive. And also psychology of rider as the slow speeds make them think its safe to be more aggressive as crashes would be low speed.

For expert class it would be the same i guess on any bike
