Welcome to my diary on wheels β a place where I share my adventures with motorcycles, cars, and travel.
I'm slowly modifying a BMW 128i E82 to create a casual track build, driving my Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory on the beautiful roads.
Along the way, I explore different motorcycles and cars, capture POV rides, scenic drives, and the moments that make my journey unforgettable.
My Garage:
2024 Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory
2008 BMW 128i Manual M-sport package
2016 Mercedes C 300 4 Matic

Thanks for your time and subs π
Hereβs a quick update on what Iβm currently working on
1. BMW 128i. Iβve managed to find a front brake calipers from 335i in mint condition but still bought a full repair kit from Frankit. So soon we will have a big brake upgrade from 300x24 brake disk to 348x30. And will test it in the mountains and on a racetrack
2. Aprilia. Also brake upgrade, shitty ferrodo rear brake pads are almost gone and Iβve ordered EBC Double H π
3. Sim racing. Iβve discovered Drift mods for Assetto Corsa OG, and ordered a handbrake + already installed Load Cell Alien Mod for Moza R5
So soon Iβll try to find time to put everything together and make more videos for you π
Stay tuned

Hello everyone π We're almost at 200 subs π
Here's a small update on BMW and SimRacing
1. I've been working on the BMW 128i lately, and the next video will be about
eDiff vs non eDiff (coded off), but during the coding process, I've checked Disa Valves, another cheap Chinese DISA stopped working.
Original Story - I've bought 2 Disa Valves from an eBay supplier, with good reviews.
The small one literally burned on the first start (see the pic). π₯
Replaced with the original used one.
Big one died too, and I do not know when, no engine codes, no errors, it just stuck in open position (should be closed and opens after 4K rpms). Replaced with the original used one.
2. I'm preparing to install front 335i brake calipers + brake discs soon π
3. SimRacing, I've installed Load Cell Mode for Moza R5 pedals - Alien Mods.
I'll share an update on it soon π
Thanks.

Update on BMW 128i, Aprilia, Sim racing, and content plan for the next few months π
BMW 128i
Finally the last control arm that I need to do the rear /M3 control arms upgrade is here and it's not a rear control arm it's a front bottom left (yeah previous one was defected, that's the quality of car parts nowadays), already scheduled service in few days from now, so soon we'll have a new video on BMW and new Track rides π
Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory
Maintenance is done, and we're waiting for the perfect weather to start riding again π₯
Sim Racing
Load Cell mod ordered - Alien Mod for R5 bundle, I've bought the first pair of Sparco Gloves that I'll test in Sim racing and in real Track rides. And it seems that the 0.6 AC EVO update is almost here. π½
Travel
I'm planning a new trip to Milan, hopefully we'll have more car/moto content for me to share βοΈ

Hello π
1. I've bought a new dragy pro! For more accurate lap times + I can now properly record acceleration time for Aprilia and BMW.
2. For the first time, I'm working on a BMW 128i myself. Currently, I've already done:
- Camber pin removal (for more negative camber)
- 3 Stage Intake Manifold installed (with 2 Disa valves). Will try to record the acceleration times before and after the tune.
- Installed Custom Oil cooler with Oil Filter Housing from BMW N54 engine.
Love the progress, but a few hiccups along the way, and I need to test the car before hitting the track again!
3. For Aprilia, I've bought a new Mitas Sportforce+ , and I need to test that out too.
Stay tuned π

Hooray, Aprilia is back; also, I've bought a lot of cool stuff to increase the quality of video and audio - dji mic mini set and ND filters. It's a bit cold to drive in the mountains in my area, but I'm already testing everything out.

Update on my Aprilia Tuono Factory: The bike is in service due to a radiator leak. The radiator will be replaced under a warranty, but it's quite annoying because I need to wait a few weeks for it. For some reason, Aprilia uses Chinese radiators on Tuono and RS 660 models...
