    Do you mean that 2002 still requires less effort than a e30 THAT has no powering steering? or do you just mean it require less effort than e30 in general?
    A properly functioning 2002 steering box with fresh fluid, and non-monster width tires really doesn't require much effort. Sure, if you cram some 225s on there with 15s or 16s, it's a PITA.

      m10 megasquirt and turbo?
      I don't know if I really want to go turbo. I don't need a ton of power, just a strong drivable motor that can provide some decent oomph when called upon. The main reason for any swapping/converting, is for tuning. The Kugelfischer fuel injection system is good, but you can't do anything with it to speak of.
      If at first you don't succeed, find a bigger hammer.

        DCOEs suck to tune - as does the k-fish. For a DD I'd reccomend 2 things for moderate power - a rebuilt m10 with a 292 and a weber 38/38 or a m10 with 318i injection and megasquirt. These make more power than the tii and are more fuel efficent.

          Yea, DCOEs are a PITA, but they look f'n cool. By the time you megasquirt an m10, you might as well buy an e30.

            No way - e30s don't have front vent windows. Besides, you can squirt an m10 for like 500 bucks and make pretty nice wheel HP. Truth be told it's probably cheaper than a set of 40DCOes, linkage, manifolds and a 292 cam and it makes more power. You don't however get that awesome throttle sound that makes the exhause sound wimpy.

            EDIT: to clarify, a weber 38/38 will not make as much power as a tii.

              There's a guy over on 2002faq that set up an m10 with twm 40mm ITBs and a megasquirt. Sweet, but a lot of work. The thing with doing 318 injection on an m10, is that I feel like I might as well just go ahead and get the whole 318 engine and have twin cams and a plethora of options should I want to go further with it in the future.

                Contact JakeB about it. He's on here and the FAQ. He has a nice looking m42 2002.
