    Did you make that car in paint? JK

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

          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.

                  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 ?

                      E30 M3 / E30 325is / E34 525iT / E34 535i

                        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.
