Moar! Vids! I wanna see the clutch slip in 4th and 5th.

I'm still watching :)

If your thinking bought LWFW perhaps an M20 flywheel is the way to go? Light and 25% more clutch area. Combine that with the huge amount of clutches available for the M20 and your set.

inspiring, and you are local to boot ! Nice car.......

LOL... "soon, but not yet."

LOL... NO! It pains me physically everytime it happens now that I know what it is. All I need is to fry my clutch and not be able to drive it before I get a replacement.

LW FW is not in my future. With boosted cars I've read it is only minimally beneficial... and would be just one more expense to take onto the list. Plus I have can't find a difinitive list of parts or how to on the m20 FW swap. Heard alot of difficulties with it though... ?

I think the Spec clutch will grab plenty. A bit quicker rev might be nice, but again for the added headaches... I think I am happy with it as is.

It's easy, M20 single mass flywheel, M20 pilot bearing, M20 PP, M20 disk and a euro 323i TOB. Maybe a m20 starter.

Add a Sachs 618 PP from a 2002 and that setup is good for 300whp easy.

I'm sorry if this has been covered already but is all this on stock internals?

[Danny]

Yes.

All stock motor.

He's still on a fresh stock headgasket.
Theres alot to be had out of these motors.

^Correct, on both counts.

Update: Had my turbo eat a piece of silicon because I was an idiot. It bent all the fins on the turbine wheel beyond repair. Took me 3 or 4 days to source a new one. So while the car was down, I disassembled the turbo and painted it with hi-temp paint because it was an eyesore in the engine bay. Now it looks sexy and new. It had a fresh rebuild by Danny, and the bearings and everything still looked new upon disassembly, so I just added the new wheel upon reassembly.

No vids yet, sorry... but here are some new pics to wet your appetite.







I also had my hood latch stop working for some reason, so I fixed that problem as well. Now my hood latch works with ease and probably better than it did new.

[Danny]

Looking better and better.

That little turbo just doesn't quit!

[e30guydownunder]

Dyno time yet?

[Schnitzer318is]

Here's a vid of the car finally. It's a pretty shitty video though. I'll get better ones soon. This is just a 0-80 pull and then I give it gas in 5th gear so you guys can hear the clutch slip. The rest of the video is pretty boring, but it gives you guys something to watch.

Working on getting my new clutch in so I can get a dyno, but I think I am going to the 1/4 mile track tomorrow so I'll take some videos there. I want to see what a difference the new clutch vs the stock slipping clutch will make time wise. I'm hoping I'm in the low 14's but we will see.

Took her to the track yesterday and damn is it official that it needs a new/better clutch. LOL my best time was a 16.9 with a blown charge pipe halfway down the track. You have to feather the throttle so much to keep it from slipping... once it slips, that run is done.

Luckily a buddy went with me and he was much more skillful at driving it with the clutch the way it was. He was consistent 15's the whole night. Best result below.

Previous best time before the turbo was 17.04 so even with the slipping clutch it's not a bad improvement. I think it's got a low 14 or possibly even (GASP) high 13 in her.
