Looks good. Would like to see more

Would be keen for a cap if I can't find an e36/46 housing. The caps are a bit pricey when you add in a thermostat. I have given up on the idea of tapping into the housing. Too many layers in the casting and alternator being in the way was what put me off

I personally skate as much as I can(still no good at it), and know how noisey it is. Especially with wood and metal ramps. Being that it is one day a week I think your fighting a hard arguement. Go fishing/drinking/build junk on friday arvos. Heaps better then giving your money to a lawyer Good luck

Congrats

If you really need a filter go for a panel filter that slots into the factory slot. You will not get any noticable power from modifications that far from the engine. Anything that has a proper benefit will need a tune to suit it. I'd be spending the money on headers, cam and tune if you want more power. Good luck either way

Getting a loan to modify a car is a stoopid idea. If you have to pay someone to do all the work you aren't going to get much at all for your dollar. Buy tools(there are enough people on here that will give you advise on how to use them) or buy a different car edit: or Jon

With out money you need luck, skill and time If you look up 13's for 1300 you might get some inspiration. Unsure if this is a good recommendation

Do you still have the viscous fan? What thermostat are you using? If not i'd run it at 80-82. Having the fan in a push setup is going to be less efficient so it'll need all the lead time it can get. Although it might move more air then the factory setup. The air intake is a cool way to do it. Does the mount just bolt on in the factory place? Must be a tight squeez for the headlight Scan tool will show if there is any problem with the injectors. Clutch should be fine after a bit of slow wearing in Sniffer test of the cooling system will make sure that you don't have any head gasket issues. Hopefully it's just condensation and moisture from the air. Mine also threw out a bit of moisture after I finished putting things back together Your car is looking great

I think it was only the 4 channel e36 abs that had the bigger problems. Still not much of a comparison to the e46 m3 setup. Massivebrakes.com might be an option to look at for bbk Good luck with the up coming targa

Would love to see the build progress if you have time to make a thread for it

Cheers. That is the plan. It is an opportunity that I didn't want to miss out on. Who needs friends when you have a coupe anyways

Got the lateral bars nearly done. Luckily I got plenty of advice from the tutor on how much to rotate the bar before bending. Last day of construction tomorrow before a 2 week break. Edit: Sadly the twist wasn't quite right. As a result made the part going down the A pillar stick in towards the windscreen. It was very borderline on if it'd be 70mm inside the window. So decided to re-do the lateral bars.

ouch that's a bit steep This could be an option http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=36987

Sorry about the really really late reply. I'm not sure if you can change your diff seals without taking the diff out. You probably would be able to. But I sure wouldn't want to try it So a bit of time has passed and not a lot has been achieved. Went to an STM Gymkhana day a few weeks ago. Had a great time even though I lost the lock nut key and had huge understeer problems. Oh and spun when trying to go in a straight line I purchased e36v8's old m50b25. Hoping to one day do some sort of experimental turbo project. Or use the 3 Litre parts I have lying around. Only reason they haven't been used yet is because the price of m54b30 piston rings is a little steep. Also have a getrag 250 in pieces. Please excuse the lack of technical terms here. The springs that hold the synchro rings in place had all snapped between first-second and 2 had snapped between 3-4. Got a hold of Kayne Barrie (great chap) who supplied me with some springs(bmw don't sell the springs seperate) and unloaded a whole heap of usefull information. Will get some bits to make sure it is nicely freshened up. I understand why people pay to get gearboxs fixed Picked up a nearly finished megasquirt for a mates car. That took a dive so now I have both of these. Surely i'll find a use if I hurry up and get into it. And finally, as if I didn't have enough projects on the go at once. Metal for inside the car. The bend in the drivers side looks kinked from the photos. I think it's some tape or something The more difficult bends are coming. In particular the lateral bars. Anyone have any advice on getting the twist right? Bender is a pro tools horizontal bender

Sure is. It's going really well. The course doesn't really deal with 'motorsport' as much as we'd all hoped and we seem to be running out of time coming up to the end. Can't really complain. The course has been well worth the money. How long did it take you to finish yours off?

Stripped interior and started on cage Need to start working out as the hole saw gave me a beat down

leather roof? really

you should edit this list I'm know sweet fa about m5x conversions but some changes will be the m3 stuff. Us m3 gear and euro m3 gear are different.
