Ha nah, just pulling, he is more against non-bmw engines than anyone on here. There have been a couple of close guesses so far!

hmmm some very close guesses. So does anyone have any tips or advice in my 5 stud conversion? Also the viscous fan goes all the time like right from a cold start up and makes it sound bit like a truck. guessing this means the viscous unit has failed?

Also the indicators don't return on the steering wheel half the time, is there any way to fix this? from memory its a little white stalk or something?

Take the steering wheel off and have a look - should be some sort of little arm.

Supposedly the major tip for 5 stud is to make sure you pay up for a set of the later E36 M3 lower arms so the castor is right.

Haha im not going to say just yet, all will be revealed in good time. Have myself a LOT of saving to do put it that way.

Would anyone like to swap some rough recaro front seats for some really mint ones with cash my way? no rips or anything in the seats. Also looking for some mint leather door cards if anyone has any?

Im doing the interior in suede and leather so would be a shame to do it to mint cloth ones but doesnt really bother me.

ti rear will be sa-weet. Hunt down a LSD (or buy my spare one) and AKG bushing the hell out of it and it'll hold down the the power from the Sxx that's going in.
