Unhappy help...

well, I raced my friend 92 BMW 325i (i have a 95 240sx stock, the

bmw stock as well) and it SMOKED me. both of us have

same driving skills but is 325i that faster than 240sx? wow those

inline 6s are not to be toyed with.

i have driven his car nad its pretty much faster with amazing

handling and it makes my 240sx feel like crap.

how can i make the car faster? engine swap/turbo is no option

for insurance reasons. any ideas

Ha I was just kidding bro,
But yeh I would recommend basic engine mods like exhaust and intake to help the motor breathe better. The better budget you have, the faster you can make the car.

coilovers, A048s, bigger sway bars, etc?

you stated that you are not willing to do any engine mods worth doing (swap or turbo). the KA is worthless without boost, so work on footwork.

haha, ka's arent worthless with out boost. but yea, suspension, wheels , and minor engine ugrades like cams, header, intake, exhuast, will help free up some horses and the susension and wheels will make it handle a whole lot better. after that you should be pretty happy with your car.
