Further to me selling out my half of the previous TDS project (Click HERE (http://www.driftireland.com/forum/showthread.php?39027-BMW-325TDS-Project-Smoke-Machine)), shane has decided to take up a new TDS project to continue from where I left off & keep the innuvation going within this new project & try out some of the other Idea's Ive had, while Daniel also continues my old project. That said, Most of the Engineering R&D will be now done within this project
on the way home from Newry with my 330cd "M3d" (Click HERE (http://www.driftireland.com/forum/showthread.php?44527-BMW-E46-M3d-Drift-Build)), We picked up a LHD 325td ... It could only be described as a Halfords Car Crash... with the amount of chrome, the horrible looking bumpers & other tack stuck onto it.. Its so bad I wont even dare upload a photo of it!
So, to introduce the coupe chassis we picked up in Donegal that came complete with Coilovers, M Bumpers, 18" MV2's & a new battery.. Sold CheapCheap mainly because the airflow meter was a bit fuckered & failed the NCT for a few bushings... we dont care! The engine was sold before we left donegal so that was even more of a plus.

We happened to be offered another Garrett GT2260V Turbo in swap for a Flywheel & Clutch kit for a 323i on the way home, so we picked that up the same night... On the last TDS Project this turbo proved itself to be the perfect choice so we're going with it again!
