M42 Goon Squad - Showoff your M42 Car

[wazzu70]

Lol this :D

But it is nice to get the wave by from a high powered car after your all over them in the corners ;)

In the corners I can keep up with lots of cars that have MUCH more power than I do. When my instructor drove we passed a crummy driver in a 996. That must have been embarrassing for him :)

Never autocrossed my car with the M42 in it, but there is a significant difference in turn in with the lighter engine, so I assume auto-x would be a good place for the M42. Racing in the rain is also a good place for it to even the playing field :)

Why not

Ill play along too. Need some tips on cleaning the engine bay before I post them. Do you guys cover stuff or just go for it?

When I first bought her





And how she looks today:








And yes i know i need to lower the front more. Not sure why it sits so much higher but it is annoying.

[M3Philipp]

I dont think it sits higher.
It just looks like, because the front wheel arches are higher than the rear ones on the E30. Compare to the chassis line over the arches, front and back...

[fanboi]

Still trying to get the front lower. thats with e90 top hats.

Just clean the bay. Get it hot, spray with degreaser, spray with water. Don't be dumb about it and spray directly on the alternator or on electrical connections and you'll be fine. Generally anything in there can get wet, and definitely the whole engine itself that'll be covered in oil as well as the subframe, rack, and transmission is all fine.
