Need some Cams, got any?

ando · 17-05-2012, 08:11 PM

Hey Up,

My inlet cam has worn out????

Seen a pic only from the garage at the ring and they recommend changing both, going out for the 24h this weekend and planned a trip out next weekend to drive.

Going to see it sat morning and see what the craic is, about getting some, but wondered if anyone had a pair sat in the garage that ain;t fooked!

Has anyone got any or know where a supplier in the uk might have some, none in the uk at BMW, 7-10 days from Germany, going to try and find a dealer near the ring and see how long they will take to get them.

Bl00dy expensive too inlet £765 or something and Outlet £550 or there abouts, so best part of 1300 for the pair!

Hey ho the joys of fast cars!

Not saying you should buy them from here, but as a price guide, is it not worth upgrading?

Put schrick 280/288 standard lift cams in, you will also need to replace rockers no doubt as they will be worn, go for some DLC ones from schrick as well...they are a very good upgrade....you can buy them from turner motorsport in the states or just search online for cheapest supplier....

No need for remap...bollocks etc

Ando, didnt see this until too late mate, Tom Schirmer had a set of OEM that he swapped out for Schricks, they only had about 3000 miles on them, he was asking about £ 300 for them, he down the road in Kelberg... shame that ..

No Problem Dunc, we did have a ring round in Germany, but they must've gone, couldn't find any 2nd hand ones out there.

When you out next, I was supposed to be going out with everyone today for the weekend but decided not to as it wouldn't be fixed in time.

Heading out next at the end of June if you fancy it?

Cheers
