running a 3.64 at the mo with the m3 box she's a tad short top speed is 120 but she's quick getting there might go for a 3.25 if i find one

she's dynoed at 251hp and 249lbt so nice and quick and plenty of power to help me learn to drift

i also have a s50 touring project with load's of goodies on her:D

I'm from Castlegar myself but living in athenry I drive a white e39 530d as my daily. Ya I have an E30 at the house have a 4 litre V8 and 6 speed box for it should be interesting . I used to drive a dolphin grey one with alpina reps on it a few years back . Ya am on e30 owners as well . Ya I had a 3.73 in mine with the m50 was a rocket but not great for driving a lot . Wouldn't mind getting a look at your car some time I'm surprised I haven't heard about it

Not too well really kind of lacking in motivation at the moment . I haven't the engine in yet I'm working on the braking at the moment I'm using the hydraulically assisted brake servo from an e34 it's assisted by the power steering .im goin using it as a road car if and when I finish it might make a burst after Christmas to make next years big meet . No I'm using the M60 . I got my engine conversion off that lad sound enough fella too deal with
