Insane. 110 days to render!

Wonder what kind of box that is ? Looks like a ZF box. p.s paulie you have pm..

The stance just isn't doing it for me.. Nice car though.

8 speed.. jesus christ..

Have you desprung it ? Saw it drive past the courthouse in the weekend I think, sacked as with standards on the rear hah. Go to repco they can get / have tint spray it's like $25 for a can..

Yup it will. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-253037833.htm

The 2.7 pretty much fits in and looks stock, I used the standard 325i ECU with it, just with bigger injectors.. But the power difference compared to a m20b20 is like comparing night and day... So it is pretty much stock in a certain sence, you are using all stock parts.

That second photo would be cool in the calender lol. It's a pretty cool shot.

Check my auction on trademe for a 2.7 stroker.. I might even still have a 5 series oil pan you could chuck on it to fit your e34..

That is a standard e30 wheel not a tech1 wheel unfortunately. Tech1 wheel has a m/// colour logo attached around the bottem bit and has 3 horn buttons on each 'spoke' of the wheel.

Hahaha 'burn on ur mum'

Yeah definitley.. Ask at an exhaust shop, they can pretty much make anything work / fit, within reason..

Nah you don't have to. I could fit my big ass pliers in the tunnel, clamp it and push it around to loosen then do the rest by hand. You probably don't even have to bother doing it, if you have the center bearing out, put the diff in and when it comes time to put the driveshaft in, it should pull the 5mm of driveshaft out as you tighten the bolts. Because TBH when I swapped from small case to medium case I didn't adjust my driveshaft at all and i swapped between those diffs a couple times too and not once changed the length.

Yeah they slide together, But that locking collar bolt squashes a bush in it as you tighten it and it stops the 2 halves just sliding out. Yours both should have a locking collar.

Yeah but the locking collar holds the 2 halves together, Makes it near impossible to just slide it off.. I use a big set of pliers.

Lol. MILK FTW

I don't think he is advertising it as a Cosworth anyway, He clearly stated the model number and states he had the engine put in.

how much is that gonna cost you to have done though man? Hit up Gavin, he quoted me $290 odd for one shipped from Germany, just a month or so wait for it..

That is WAY to huge..

Was gonna say the same thing, This reminds me of Emily's first thread lol. Another e39 to be saved ? Time will tell..

Good work with the sump lol. I did mine the same way you did and the gasket moved and it pissed out oil on one side.. Oh well.

Pretty sure you don't need to adjust prop shaft length, If you do, all you have to do is drop the driveshaft hanger bearing, loosen the locking collar and it has abit of lee-way for adjusting the length, just sus it out after you have the diff in, slot the driveshaft bolts into the diff input and tighten the bolts then tighten the locking collar up last.

Wow, Your engine bay is incredibly tidy. What a mint example of an m3. Kudos to you.

A mate got crashed into by an old lady while driving his mazda gtr hatch, completely smashed the front in from the side. He had no insurance, but got paid out $4000 from the old ladys insurance company and got to keep his car too.. So he sold his mags and stuff on top of that and made quite alot out of it, car wasn't even worth $4000 either..

Damn 16+, Might see you guys there next year..
