Thanks Alex

It's on the 27th/28th - yes, i'll be racing. We need to get the picture hah.

Dynamic images are images that do not have a fixed URL (or address). i.e the image is displayed when a user requests it via some database command - hence why the URL address doesn't always point to the same URL that the database last looked at. It is the same with all images uploaded here.

Seeing as you posting before 8 in the morning you must be excited. Good luck with it Emma - pics when you get it.

you may as well include driving large campervan at 130 kph the whole time to the list Roger while getting rear passengers to hold pre-made signs out the window that read "suprise cockface [a campervan pwns you]" & "read the road code cock"

Go look at this page - fairly comprehensive. If I remember correctly he did a "cheap" setup orginally. http://www.bimmerjim.com

Not even close. Get closer to 10k (sure it's on the high side). But you could use new bits then and also a decent aftermarket ECU like link. Could do cheaper with Megasquirt or the likes. For the record - I have a 318 turbo with 280 hp on medium boost - so it is easily attainable on the 2.5 m20 [not that that means a lot I know - just giving you an idea]

Oh - has full LVV Certification and WOFs fine.

Hi all - Have now finished fixing up the car to a point where I think it is OK. Could still do with a bit more tuning at light throttle - but at least it isn't spewing out oil and boosting weerdly. Have old pics here - will grab some new ones tonight before I whack it on trade me. Anyway; Cosmetic: NZ New 1990 318iS Coupe in Brilliant Red All iS options - black headliner, Recaro seats in tartan like pattern. Illuminated gear knob, Illuminated (orange) VDO Boost/Oil Pres/Oil Temp gauges. 15" Weaves. iS front lip. Mtech1 sideskirts Mtech2 wing. Smoked indicators. Badass mesh instead of headlight for air intake ///M spraypainted Cosworth intercooler. Power windows. Mechanical. M42 motor. JE forged pistons. Mosselman M42 exhaust manifold/intake boot. Garret T3 Turbo from Sierra Cosworth - Internally WG. Sierra Cosworth Intercooler. Motec M4 ECU. Individual coil direct fire ignition. Electronically controlled boost (from Motec) Quaife Limited slip diff. H&R springs with Koni Single Adjustable Shocks. Too many mechanical mods to list in detail. Stats: 165 rwkW @ 13 psi. - shitloads of torque (350 Nm , dyno dynamics dyno). Possible mid 13s 1/4. Have run 14.00 on much less power/street tyres. Potential for much more power with slightly different turbo/intercooler setup. Mileage is irrelevant to this car as it has been rebuilt. But I think the odo reads around 170k. It has been 100% reliable and is extremely quick. A baffle is rattling in the exhaust - but the large exhaust leak has been fixed and the car has been tuned correctly by Gavin Bellars @ Hi Velocity. Car is extremely tidy - has a rusty sunroof (like they all do) but there is no other rust in the car. Asking $15500 o.n.o You could not build a car like this for anywhere close to that price. Serious offers only. Contact me on - 027 622 5051 or PM.

Sweet f**k all. I hope to keep it that way.

Agreed

that TWR m3 is so painfully sh*t. Could make an OK racecar - has been crashed badly at some stage though. Was hard to tell when Doug and I looked at it though.

Looking back on the road trip we did in the camper. I'm thinking the beers with Kerry and his 600 hp 'Vette were the highlight for me. Cheers for the hospitality Kerry!

For all those that have PMed/Txt me. The sticker order form will be back up by Wednesday.

M20 is a sweet turbo motor. e30tech.com FI section. 280 rwhp is attainable on stock internals. It's all down to tune.

Good work mate. Well done.

Closed. You know why.

Dude - it's cool. We all drive loud bastard cars that are modified. This thread will go no further I think his explanation suffices.

And they got sent a few days ago.

I was so addicted to the first one.. my god.

Merry Xmas all - Those on the roads this year in the north island - watch out for the heavily stickered bimmersport campervan ... it's a mercedes though hah.

Bet my 318 would own this 3ltr e36 - i'm keen for a race.

I was referring to Ruby - not the racecar or the Turbo.

From what I know - the one on trade me is sold.

I drive with headlights on whenever on the open rd.
