Spot on. Tis the ratio I am using. Hardly suitable for a daily driver but good fun. Also a usefull multiplication of the engines torque dont forget. Sorry Glenn, had to shot off to work. How inconsiderate of them. One thing to be aware of with the lightened flywheel is that they can have a tendency to rattle. Mine is the same setup as the one in the link and rattles like a bastid, although he claims his doesn't. Have heard similar conflicting reports about all kits including the UUC. Seems some rattle, some don't.

Lightened M20. Good write up in the earlier link.

My car gets more from the short ratio LSD and lightened flywheel then the m50 manifold. I never claimed to believe the manifold conversion was a magic bullet that made the m52 a powerhouse, only that it made a nice change to the character of the engine. The point I was always trying relay was that it didn't create a torqueless mess with driveability issues, as some exaggerated statements would lead you to believe. At the same time, exaggerated claims as to its benefit arnt helpfull either. As for headers, I'm happy to accept there are nice gains to be had. I have no personal experience to assume otherwise. I'm bored with this argument.

One thing you could try is, if you access to the pipes, at each point the pipe goes through the timber, fill the gap between the pipe and the timber with silicon. All new homes are done this way. Holds the pipes steady and stops it hitting the sides of the hole. Otherwise, ask a plumber ha.

I bet you say that to all the boys. What type of Mig welder did you buy? I'd be interested to know what you think of it.

The rule is: if the lowest structural member of the car is less than 100mm from the ground, the car requires certification. If he has a cert it is legal. The rest of what you say is true tho.

The black AMG is so full of 80's bad attitude.

Dont think its as easy as that. I dont know where the sensor is but I've been told its about a $4-500 job so it cant be that straightforward. Glenn will be able to tell ya more.

I've watched him build this car on e36coupe.com(now bmwowner.com) for some time so I'm quite familiar with it.

Do a skid.

More info on his site

HB cock.

If you read the article it states that the Schrick manifold was installed after the dyno runs and that the owner would not bother to install a Schrick menifold if he had to buy it at a new price.

Hmm I get logged off if I log in from the home page. I've never done it before so just tried it now. I just link straight to the forum and never have problems logging in there.

I'd comment if I could see the bloody thing.

Lotsa potential in that m50 manifold.

One size too big.

Wooden ones?

M5x motors are prone to it too! Theres a trend here?!?

Considering I was quoted $349 from JC Glenns price is bushes only. Tricky to do yourself as the end of the arm is 6 sided not round (the larger 63?mm bush) and the arm is aluminium and quite soft. Dont bother with urethane, the OEM style is fine.

Haha it's in Aus too, the Aussies would have a right lark up.

Mullets rule ok.

Mig welders and air compressors mostly. And some random undeleted sh*t.

Where the hell ya been Steve?

Damn. Do you have to?
