Jamie's E46 M3 is no stranger to our workshop, with the car having had a fully cylinder head and Vanos overhaul with us previously. However this time it was less about maintenance and more about upgrades. Upgrade number one was under the bonnet, with a Karbonius CSL Race Airbox being fitted along with one of our upcoming CSL IAT Sensor...
There are sadly not too many sightings of E30 M3s in the world these days, especially not ones being driven properly. But fear not, our customer Mark has been pounding his M3 around the tracks and the roads of Jersey for many years and as part of some restoration work on the car he's carrying out, he decided to send...
While there's nothing we love more than a full-on M car coming through the workshop, you can't ignore BMW's 'M-Lite' cars; the M135i and M140i being our favourites. What's not to love about a small, rear wheel drive hatchback with a punchy turbo six-pot up front? Sure, they have their weaknesses but that's exactly where we step in. Jamie bought...
Paul's Nardo Grey M4 is no stranger to our workshops, having previously had a whole host of upgrades from Littco L640 turbos to cooling upgrades, exhaust upgrades, full crank hub fix and more. You can read about that tranformation here. This time Paul returned for braking, engine bay, further cooling mods and a Remus backbox. The parts pick was as...
Engine-related work is our number one type of work here at Hack Engineering, and on the F8X platform M cars this means only one thing - crank hubs. As explained in our video released last year (See below), the best solution for the problem by far is with a VTT crank hub, which uses splinelock technology and a one-piece timing...
Somehow five months have passed since we last had Gareth's F83 M4 in with us for Littco L640 turbos, but he hasn't held up with progress on the car. His latest visit to us was for one of its biggest overhauls yet. The plan for this visit included improvements across the whole car - chassis, braking, interior, engine bay and of...
Paul came to us some time ago to discuss a significant power upgrade for his 2019 F82 M4. In its incredible Nardo Grey finish, it arrived with us already running a Velocity Tuning stage one map and Eventuri intakes. However, things were about to change. The HE team tore the car apart to bulletproof the engine, which on the S55...
As seems to often be the way, Joel originally visited us back in the summer for a couple of modifications, and that turned into plans for more. Having already been mapped and with a Remus exhaust, Joel wanted a bit more induction noise which we supplied in the form of a Forge Motorsport Carbon Fibre Intake Kit. MMR Performance engine dress-up...
Across the many customers that come through our doors, there is generally a theme - the hunger for more horsepower, and this was certainly the case with Gareth and his F83 M4. Gareth's car has had a couple of visits to us - with it already running an Evolve Stage 2 package, it was our mission (at first) to make...
Robert approached us last year with the goal of having his S54 built for an E46 M3 nut and bolt restoration that he's working on. With many of the components purchased from us in the two year build up, we were glad to be able to help. As always, work began with the block. Robert's spec included 87mm (standard size)...
