Holy cow. I am speechless

Very unique build.

Thanks Chaps.

In other news, it left the garage for the first time in a while today. Seems so far to be fine. Still a bit to do before a proper drive but it made it to the letter box and back yay.






Bit of a different look too.

Holy Jesus, fuck!
This is unreal.

I've just sifted through 33 pages and my jaw was wide open the entire time.
Great work!

Makes my M52 swap seem quite.. moot.

Updates?

Not really. Goes hard, tis a farkin hoot. Struggles for grip through 2nd and into 3rd. Needs way better tyres on it.

Just waiting to go through the process of legalising it. Bit of a pain in the bum.

I know it has been a number of years since this thread was started but I am undergoing a M54B25 swap on my E30 and am keeping as much of the e46 stuff as possible. Do you have any more info or remember how you fitted the HVAC unit. It seems like its just too big to make it fit?


Amazing project btw it has helped me a lot so far in my own.


Thanks

dude hasnt been on since april of 2017... you should start your own thread

[dirtysix]

Fuck me. Started this thread 9 years ago haha.

Anyway, Dragged this outta the weeds where it had been sitting for a couple of years.
Cleaned it and chucked some new gas in it and a battery. Started it up no drama and took it for a short run up the road.
Had forgotten what a laugh it is to drive. But the tyres had turned to plastic so behaved like a drunken monkey. Got some tyres onto a set of wheels I’d had hanging around for a few years but was too weary of them rubbing to use before, but thought fuck it, they’ll do for a hoon down to Leadfoot in Feb.
And they do rub but meh.
Then it sprang a leak in the radiator. Bugger.
But if that’s the worst thing that happens I’ll call it a win.
Got a renewed interest in it so as soon as I get the shed built I’ll rip it to bits and rebuild it to fix all the things I rushed or don’t like about it.
