antil33t 90 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 B18c and converting to FWD? F1 cars are detuned B18c's IIRC. They needed too, to make it fair on the other cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Someone has already mentioned a 316i engine conversion Glenn. Im guessing a steam or hot aired powered engine of some sort. Edited October 27, 2009 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 No engine at all... Are you planning a system like either of these? You could probably afford with the funds from selling a honda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Just some more work been done. Added some factory E30 Foglights. All wiring was already in the car so just bolted them in, plugged up & put the buttons in the dash (wiring also already there). Just waiting for 2 relays and then test they work... Just put my Sump Gaurd on. Just need to talk to the engineer at work and see if he can make some custom brackets made of solid steel to bolt up to the bottom bolt here (both sides) to also fill the gaps (make it 100% strong) is pretty strong atm but always best to be extra safe. (Had to leave the gap otherwise it would be hard on the sump and that would defeat the purpose of having the sump gaurd. And YES it is VERY LOW, about 60mm. So thats the current additions so far. Will update when lights & sump gaurd are finished 100%. I'll probably get fussy and change the sump gaurd mountings...will see.

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Nice work I guess, but... don't waste your time and money on doing anything else to the sump gaurd. Any progress on your engine conversion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matty104 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) the sumpguard will be fine if you bolt it right up where it is supposed to be, mine sits about 10mm from the sump and its always been fine sitting at about 55mm, even when i hit an island at around 30km a few weeks ago, just scrached the guardand didnt even put a dent in it, so there defenently strong enough Edit: missed the part about it sitting on the sump, my bad Edited March 28, 2010 by Matty104 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, nothing done yet bout the conversion... still gotta save money (gotta sell my Honda first). Then I'll indulge more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 How are your mounts looking? shagged mounts would make the engine sit lower. I'd like a sumpguard. I like how you're changing your style Shady, no more of this silly silver paint business Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 Mounts look fine. Driverside was replaced brandnew not long ago. Passengerside doesnt seem due. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 something is wrong with that sump guard, it looks backwards or off something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2010 something is wrong with that sump guard, it looks backwards or off something else. You can have a look when I come see you this week. But its off an E30, I had 2 identical, 1 each from to guys claiming to be off E30s (one a young guy & one a older guy off here) so probably an older PFL or something? But it fits, almost lol. Just cant make it sit flush with the side brackets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
