Franken Kar

Sure, drop by...

You know where the shop is?

I'm there M~F 8~5 (most days).

Yeah i stopped by once a while back about suspension,

back when my car was bone stock and would have left no impression whatsoever..

ill prob stop by monday or so

[DCColegrove]

Man that would be a blast at the track.. How much torque did it have :)?

Anyway, I wouldnt mind some specs on that. Sounds fun. We have tons of M42's and M44's at work. It's time to make a Frankenstein 4 pot.

It's difficult as hell to get the parts for it now I really screwed up when I sold that one (I thought I was done with cars).

Hey, do you think i could stop by and check out the frankencar sometime this week?

I'll take a set of those plates of your hands too..

My last m42 was putting out 285 at the crank...No shit. But it was next to impossible to drive around on the street.

That's healthy, ha.

I was referring to the 318is 2.0l though. I like M42's and always like to hear good numbers from them.

[DCColegrove]

how'd you like the m42 with 3.73?

It was great... However you must understand that this particular m42 is bored (and dry sleeved) to 2L and was putting 155 to the ground. (I'm de-tuning it a little)

On a stock m42 3.73 is not bad at all on the cruse and will get better overall fuel economy but a tad sluggish out of the hole.

Taylor told me about the numbers that baby put down Daniel.

Maybe I missed it, but what's up with the paint? Are you wet sanding it?

Looks great otherwise.

The paint on frankenkar car is, well, in a word, fucked.
the shiny part is an old partial re-paint.

I'm trying to put off the body and paint work...But it's inevitable and imminent.

Oh, just so you all know... I'm not letting the IS feel neglected:



Swaped out 3.73 med case Installed small case 4.10 LSD (came out of a 318is with only 55k on it....the 3.73 was freshened up new bearings and seals, LSD tighened up...new shit and transplanted into frankenkar).
