Lots and lots of bits of progress over the last few months. Another iteration of the exhaust! Added a magnaflow cat and another centre muffler. Took the unpleasant rasp out of it and dropped the drone right down. Still makes enough noise but nothing weird anymore. Very pleased. Then I moved house, E30 did the workhorse duties Got some very large exciting packages. New whiteline front and rear swaybars, new endlinks etc. A bunch of garagistic chassis reinforcement and chassis bracing stuff H&R Sport springs - to replace the spare parts bin lowering springs that were in there before So far have installed all the chassis bracing stuff, and the new H&R springs. Big difference, mostly attributable to the springs and the transmission brace, I think. More compliant but everything feels a lot tighter. Next up is to have the rear trailing arm sway bar tab reinforcement pieces welded in, then install the new whiteline sway bars.

Used a bolt, hammer and slice of bread as a pilot bearing tool.

again its the driveability thing.just because it is not the QUICKEST doesnt mean say it cant be fast and very pleasant.

This clip is just epic. That sound is the old heart and soul of what made BMW great.

Edit: ****SOLD**** thanks for the interest Hi Guys, I have a new car on the way so looking to sell my e46 M3. Some of you may already know the car from the previous owner. All details are in the trademe link below, I've had nothing but time wasters from trademe so thought I'd try this forum. Has been a really cool car to own, never let me down and I've never spared a cent on it. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1315371922 Price $34,000 pm me if interested.

Better get in quick to do one, im already in the process of helping to do 2x E30 V10's

it amazes me how easily little cars can match the bigger when the track is only 59s long, on the longer track with higher speed on straights the difference is bigger and how much white knuckle ringing it took. Watching cars on top gear track its hard to predict what a fast lap is to another, some look fast and some look effortless and then the times can tell another story. Some of the car makers must be right royally annoyed at the times due to temperatures and weather. for the aus times a better test would be what state the cars would be in after say 4 laps, have brakes gone, engines overheating, I'm sure theres a bigger difference and I'd expect the GTR to be built to do it all day. A buyer wants to know that surely

Good grief, how has this not sold? If I hadn't already saddled myself with that blue Touring I'd say sod it and grab this one!

and thats where turbos can win too

i am cheap when i want to be....the premium demanded for that tech exceeds my desire for it

Check the rocker covers are not made from mag, learnt that the hard way

Just a little update as i managed to grid the bolt that was giving me grief off, got the crank and last piston out and cleaned some other bits. Block is off to get acid dipped cleaned next week. I Will also look at getting the rocker cover powder coated at some point. Any suggestions for a colour? i was thinking white. ZERO i'm looking at either using a Link or Haltec Ecu at the moment and i won't need to run e85 as the compression on this motor is only 10:1.

have some new old stock , in stock thanks brent
