    M52 318iS from Down Under

    Its been a while since I posted on here, I used to have a m42 Turbo 318iS, But life stepped in and I was forced to part the car out.

    2 years down the track I found myself standing infront of my old car but with a M52 B28 Alloy block in it and a lot of other inferior things to what it had before. I've had it for about 2 months now and it looked stock when I got it back so I've done a bit of work trying to make it look up to scratch and have a lot more plans to come. The M52 is a bit slower than the old M42 setup so I'm planning to do a V8 Swap in the next year.

    M52 B28 (this will be getting swapped out for a M62 B44 in the next year or so)
    3.73 LSD Shimmed to 75% lockup
    Stock length Ground controls (Plan to go fortune auto in the future)
    Standard ATE Brakes but have a Rx7 BBK sitting there waiting to go on.

    Pretty sure I've seen this one around a few years ago with big fat tyres on it. How come the previous owner took out the m42 turbo? Good luck on the new build!

      I was the one with the m42 turbo in it. I parted the car out to get money together to build a house. And the guy who bought the shell off me put the m52 in and other various bits and pieces.

        Glad to see you back in your same car! Always was one of the most badass 318s out there.

          Cheers for that, it's far from the car it was but I'm glad I've got it back and can make something of it once more.
