Did you make that car in paint? JK

Picture is a little weak. Are those RF's?

[richie_s999]

this pics in primer, but will be painted flat black as well, the rims are ROH

[RedHoodRidah]

any plans for under the hood since your going for the flat black sleeper look?

[richie_s999]

well looking at an electric fan, only load on the motor will be the altenator then, light weight flywheel for the m42, and cold air intake and chip by Mark D and adjust the cams. Carbon fibre body peices and inerior to lighten the car up. Looking into a stroker motor for 2010, maybe a supercharger with it to.

Good luck with that. Run the m42 on ITB's make it a 2L and have fun. Mine just shit the bed I had some plans for some boost but boost went elsewhere. If your looking for a well built m42 look up metric mechanic built ones.

the oringional motor is in the car, 320000km, and still running strong!! No rattle from the chain at all. I beleive it was done at 280000km.

Keep on top of the timing components. I just changed my tensioner and I still have a bit of a rattle from the front of the motor... from what I've read its only a matter of time now before the whole thing goes :(

Get in there and replace the chain guides.

I can't believe you listed a manual 316 rack as an upgrade.
E30 manual racks are slow as scheiße .

Also whats with the whole "performance" theme and yet you go with Apex springs and no mention of upgraded struts ?

yes the manual rack is an up grade, no steering pump taking power from the car and more acurate steering. the steering is not slow.

the car is an "318is" which means m-tech suspension - the stock struts are being used till final suspension design is picked.
