E36 engine choice

E36 325i I'd say if anything

Arn't those 318is anygood to go? If the cars being stripped of everthing?

Those E36 interiors are heavy compared to some cars (cams, silvias, or anything jap for that matter) You'd be suprised at the ammount of shit in bmws interior wise.. Take it to a landfill with weigh bridge before and after youve taken as much as you can out.. don't forget sound deadening to - I filled 2 LIDL bags of it out of my old twincam, weight of em.

Exactly . Cheap is the name of the game . Is there a project thread on your car ?? Just to get a better look etc .... ???

If not , what's the spec ?:)

Thats the project thread but didn't really give a step by step, just too lazy!

At the mo its

Stripped out bar the dash
Standard 2 litre engine with cone air filter and big back box, still has the cat!
Welded diff
Hydraulic handbrake with own reservoir for back brakes, fronts and rears are seperate so
Redstuff pads all around with grooved discs on back
Standard suspension
15" alloys, no point in goin any bigger with this power
Two bucket seats and harnesses butchered in!

I change the oil after every day out and only other thing that went was an exhaust gasket

Couldnt really fault it at all!

Feck , very basic setup so . Basic but effective , and cheap . Exactly what I want .

I was thinking also , the advantage of 320 or anything bigger is ..... better fuel economy :P Saves me spending shit loads on petrol all the time , haha .
