Finally! :P

Brilliant find. I bet its quick too. Undoubtably quicker than my stocker.

Do you have a linky link for the uneducated? (2.7 info...)

Congrats mate :)

Now that I've stopped drooling...

Where is all the weight saved? All in the Al panels?

How does it go with 270km on the clock?

Looks fantastic - but I don't understand the turbo side of things or the Evo I side of things. Care to enlighten the uneducated (me)?

Cheers,

Eh? you guys are retarded :confused:

n00bs ^_^

It's NOT turbo - I know nothing about SA 2.7's but I think its fair to assume with 197hp its not turbo, and CiLK is just messing with you.

Search: Alpina C2 2.7...

A lot of potential for that engine...thats going to be one quick car.

I'm compiling a bit of info which should see bimmersport the doyen's of info for 325iS ('s), there's not alot out there (read: spread over about 4 forums).

Its not turbo, i'm messing, it was a joke from the meet on sat.

I'd like a run again both Andrews (only planning on losing once). Andrew with the white one, is yours an Evo 2 or 3?

Its got modified 325i management, so its crying out for link.

Spose you'll be pretty shamed when you lose to a stocker/superior driving.

I've had it for a month, so i guess that will burn. As I said, the henna will clean my clock, but from what i can see from factory figures, the Evo 1 is about half a sec quicker through 80-120 than the Evo 2/3 is, for whatever reason. He has more power too, so i'm not gonna be cutting my wrists over it. Losing to a stocker when mine is stock? Fine by me.

Against the 2.8's? When Gus, you and I were up front, you only just started to pull away, but its not like you were disappearing. They're a quicker car, but not by alot. Gimme a bumpy cam and a good exhaust and we'll see.

Its just run in! It goes great, pulls hard everywhere, tappets are noisy as hell, but nothing to worry about. The engine came out about a month before i got it, and all the seals and gaskets got replaced, its got a new oil and water pump, new hoses, new belts, so basically its a slightly refreshed motor. It'll give me enought time to decide what i want to do with it, which is coming down to:

2.9L high comp monster

2.7L low comp turbo

or S series swap (S50 / S62 :drugs: )

Ash, all the weight is in the al panels, but there is some sound deadening missing. I don't know what it weighs for sure, but thats what the factory quoted, so its probaly more with 70kg of driver and 60kg of fuel!

I dunno what evo mine is, its a 1991 if that makes any difference.

It goes well though

1147kg's according to the manual.

I can't find any info about the SA 2.7's so don't know what the f**k it is.

How much you pay for yours?
