hey thanks man. Had a flick through there a few times, no one with a pre facelift though. The lower valance is just way too tight to the bumper it seems.

Hello.

Currently building a m50 turbo smooth bay. Build thread is on here.

Struggling to find a intercooler to fit behind a prefacelift bumper. Also struggling with the pipe work.

Can anyone share any advise or pictures of their setups? Regardless of engine etc

thanks

ha thanks guys! shenanigans indeed. shame they're so expensive! engine works starts next week.

I'm running the same intercooler but upside down to how you have it and then removed the inner lights and used kit car lights with side dipped and mains in the outers and then made some fake lights for the inside, will upload a picture tomorrow when I am at work board. yeah i saw a few people doing...

nice work,just buy better face mask when you working with thinner and paint 3m mask do a job perfect http://www.screwfix.com/p/3m-4251-maintenance-free-organic-vapour-particulate-respirator-p2/13038 ha, i had this one on and it was fine. Thom, pictured, is now moaning of the classic 'primer lung'. ...

Aaaaaaannnd it's in primer

Such a mega step I'm so happy. (Please ignore the pink bedsheets, it's all I had haha)

final guide coat and a rub with 400. primer on tuesday

also stripped the engine today. everythings looking real good. stacks up with the mileage of 53k on the clocks. will be completely rebuilt anyway.

Cooling, washer reservoir and possibly hiding the P/S reservoir. I have seen a few motors do this and the bay looks really clean. All motor expansion tank is being deleted, along with the washer reservoir. the pz reservoir will be tucked away somewhere yeah. It should look pretty good! Small update...

What flywheel are you planning to use?

Getrag 270? e30 325 260 right?

about 350 at the wheels. and sorry yeah its from a e30 325 so it'll be a 260. planning to use the m20 flywheel as that seems to be what everyone uses.

Can anyone recommend any clutch options for the above setup? Using the getrag 270 box m20 flywheel and starter.

Few people talking about e39 m5 clutches but tbh im a little confused.

thanks

leaving the fuse box, and which fluids?

I'm liking it nice touch with that engine bay. thanks dude! small update. had a busy week staring a new job at audi so havnt touched it in a few days. did some tonight. the one side is veerrrrrry close to being ready for primer, and started the other side tonight. made quite a lot of progres. http:...

weekend progress.

primer by the end of this week. watch this space.

ended up buying a finger power belt sander thing and that made a pretty nice job of getting in the space. after various trials with seam sealant i couldn't achieve a finish with the seam sealer that i was happy with. couldnt get it smooth enough. after talking to a few people with smooth engine bay ...

Nice work 8) very interesting to read. thanks dude plates seam welded in and ground down. also bought a little propane heater for the garage which is awesome progress is slow and pretty rubbish atm. struggling to find a way to grind down the edge where the inner arch meets the fabricated panel. its...

there's tonnes of info in the engine swap wiki man

jaysus that is an epic disaster !! :eek: :roll: Its a dub thing man and just because it looks pretty damn cool. Great thread! I wouldn't want to be a neighbour to anyone that does this sort of thing from their home garage, but I respect the hard work you're putting into this project. :D :cool: I wi...

when i was reading forums and stuff people almost seem proud to say they own the 'famous unreliable b5 s4' but theyre idiots in it for the attention. its the same with any car; decent history, preventative maintenance, mechanical sympathy, and a bit of luck

okay. i'll get some pictures at some point. anything in particular that helps identify the seats? front and rear, with cards aswell probably. i'll respond to all the pm's about the seats once ive identified what they are ha. anyone know of an mtech1 spoiler for sale

blimey thats alot! the dude who hd it originally told me they were worth loads however the dude who collected the spoiler said something about the handle on the edge being in the wrong place, like too high up or something. so that meant theyre ford seats? but he said someone must have fitted the bmw...

The spoiler sold twice to people who wouldnt pay. Went for about 150 in the end I think. I'm after something to fill the holes it left if you have an suggestions? And also the seats? How much are they worth? I'm after a full houndstooth interior instead. Or whatever it's called ha.

picture of aforementioned coilovers http://i.imgur.com/6cPD28xl.png took a stag at 18 fronts and 20 rears, but we'll have to see once they're on the car. still waiting on the crossmember to come back from the powder coaters, the rack and all the new bits are painted and ready to go on (thanks to tho...

Big update. Alex took some fancy pictures like he usually does whilst me and thom stripped the engine. http://i.imgur.com/FkUkibWl.jpg And then after i spent an hour or so learning to weld with the borrowed welder, me and thom started cutting the templates for the inner flitches out of a guitar hero...

little update. pretty ready for welding and sealant. away with the girlfriend over the weekend, but I've got a bunch of days off next week so hopefully i'll get some good work done. going to order coilovers, and all the other front running gear.

for some reason i keep breaking power tools. first the (all beit cheap) impact gun, http://i.imgur.com/jRjl9Y0l.png and today to 20 year old+ makita grinder died in a fury of sparks, so i nipped out and replaced it with a new dewalt one. its good, just aggressive as hell. No major update, just press...

another evening spent. started removing paint and stuff from the engine bay, had to use a respirator after a bit due to the amount of sealant ending up inside my nose :lol: http://i.imgur.com/6gBNCKzl.png stripped the rack and gave that a good scrub ready for paint, came up really good. had a go at ...

little update. picked up the z3 rack and strIpped the crossmember. will get the new bits ordered and get the new rack painted. http://i.imgur.com/pVOtLizl.png http://i.imgur.com/OIyd4DCl.png need to do some research on the right lines, track rods and ends to use if anyone has any knowledge on this t...
