What section do posts on convertible 325iX Tourings go in?

actually i was thinking s42

Ok that would be f'ing awesome

But, you could also just turbo the M20, unless you really need to have 800+hp or something..

Turbos fix all problems! Except when the drivetrain blows up.

I'll probably end up doing a high comp cammed 2.5-2.8 build just to keep the m20 with modest power but keep the reliability of na

Put in a cage maybe :)

An 800 HP caged Baur M3 touring iX... sure sounds like a project.

I think P&R is perfect. It's exactly like Camelot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I just noticed... Is that a Triumph Stag in the background?

800 HP and *LESS* overhead structure than stock? No thanks.

No.. it's a different design.

yeah, about the same weight/power. It sounds like poop, and really isn't all that powerful - also there is basically zero support for swapping it into another chassis anyway (EWS delete? I doubt anyone has even looked at it yet). Maybe I'll get to it someday. But, meh - inline 6 or bust. :)

I was reeeeeally close to buy a ix Baur when i started the ix turbo build, would have been cool with a 800hp ix Baur :D

N2x has potential, but they sound absolutely horrible, have no top-end, and have timing chain issues.

Could do an N54ix - still relatively light (all aluminum), and they came in AWD form - some parts of the N54 are problematic but the basic engine is solid and the issues it does have would be simple to deal with. But, you could also just turbo the M20, unless you really need to have 800+hp or something..

Does the N26 not use the same timing drive as the N54 and N55?

The N26 is aluminum block, right? So it's the lightest engine available and probably comes in about the weight of your N52 with the turbo hardware included.

This is honestly the impractical dream for my ix.

Anything is possible with enough metal and a welder heehee

Although that is basically my dream. A turbo s14 ix...:bow:

N26 is used in AWD cars...

[stonea]

Nope, look closely. Compare them to a picture of standard e30 bottlecaps. They are not the same.

I know they are different to regular bottle caps, but I thought the ix specific bottle caps were also 14 inch.

[Kershaw]

I thought they were 14" wheels.

how much modification do you think it would take to bolt the front diff to an s14 oil pan? lol

It has the 15x7 IX specific bottlecaps too.
