underneath an exhaust shielding panel?

i DID hear it 2nd hand...hopefully there's none!

as for Hp...after actually driven a 318 5 spd, you appreciate the lack of weight up front..would almost be a shame to lose that!

Nah your right, it appears that it's common issue with the E30's that under the heat shield right at the back by the bolt hole, they rust around the stud. Not a biggie, about the size of a 20 cent piece, rust killed it and put a rubber grommit in it.. until I fix it properly.

Now it has the Z3 Steering Rack in, it's arwsome :mosh:

I'm with you on the $$$ for HP, it would be cheaper for me to buy that motor than spending huge $$ on s14 to the same level of HP.

This is prolly the only area I'd be a BMW purist, It's just not a e30 m3 without a S14.

Turbo it (does loose some of the originality of the m3) if need be to get some usable HP out of it instead of a mega $$$ rev happy NA build or a big heavy S50.
