Holes need to be tapped on the Getrag 260 swell - it's not an 100% fitment, they are mounted slightly on an angle (less than 30 degrees) - thus like Andrew said, the Gearlinkage needs a bend in it.

Good choice on the motor and the idea of turbocharging it... Check out pure-pf.com for parts, I'm getting the bulk of my bits from there for my 2.8 litre m50 turbo conversion (unless someone knows anywhere else cheaper locally) Limmet.se is good also.. even the zatzy.com forums - translate with bablefish. In terms of room the only thing which really gets in the way is the steering linkage, but that can be worked around, if the turbo is top mounted towards the front of the engine you will be fine - you could run a charge pipe out the hole where the a/c condenser used to sit. Hybrid, there's a turbocharged Mcoupe 20metres from where I work... I'll endeavour to get some pics of it.

Bimmersport Mid Year (2007) Demographic Survey

If you are looking at a pressure release valve, try a shop that specialises in compressed air equipment. They will have something suitable to your needs. Tap into manifold.. and you're away. With a supercharger, Would an option be - to obtain low boost to keep the valve (as per above) set at 4-6psi, and continually vent? Thus elliminating the need to have it controlled (on/off) like you are saying?

That spray can matt black paint job is hot on that first Civic - as is that spray can matt black on the wheels, When does the good taste end? These American Honda boys could teach the NZ car scene a thing or two......... I might go to the Warehouse and do the e36 in that striking colour...

Me? Never. Looks Similar to my car, But alas I have a clean license nor the money to spend on tyres.

Really nice setup, Good to see it done properly! Considered something discreet on the bonnet? slats or something along those lines.. It looks really good as is - there will be heaps of air to draw from there.

In Christchurch, Possible to arrange transport if need be.

I hope interest keeps up with inflation or that $1000 isn't going to mean f'all by the time we're 65. My money is better invested than locked in a bank account I can't access.

Bash the hell out of it. Literally, With a hammer. On the side of where the bolt goes in, all around it. Sharp quick hits with hammer are the key. -
Nicely done, At least a billion times better than everything New Zealands ever attempted to do to curb the problem.

Yeah it's probably illegal providing you didn't pay the rediculous $399 to 'upgrade' your current plate.. No issues with my plates.. Cops don't look twice - unlucky if you do get done..

I really don't know - they both look good. We need a scientist.

In Nagasaki, They like Bukkake. I was in town one weekend when we approached some Japanese girls and asked them if they knew of 'Bukkake' and they said "Like sex?" - They know where it's at....
