80 lmao.....Big Ballin'..I remember when i went to Gaydon with my bro in his sport.We were doing 140 for a few miles,and that felt like childs play.

That was the price if i sent my engine to Mr Sleath and he fitted a stroker kit,cam,rebuiild it etc

Thing is, for the money ,12.8 aint THAT quick in my mind.Nice quick everyday car,although lot easier to get more for less

V8 all the way.Freind of mine is running a 383 stroker in a Monte Carlo.Running 10's (0-60 like 2 seconds) I was quoted 2 k by John sleath,whos an engine builder known world wide,to have my 350 convereted into a 383 with around 350+bhp.soo...?

Yep,at the end of the day if its not doing it in the dry well, then either you need more power or theres a force stopping them spinning, good tyres, susepension setup etc. If you really have to cain the absolute s**t out of it to getit to spin in the dry then its pointless imo, as you will put some ...

So its not paint then mate? If not then the best way is to use a heat gun/hair dryer, but you have to be carefull to gradually heat the paint from a distance as a heatgun on full can damage paint fairly easily. Should come off after awhile though,once its warmed up

Cheers mate. I noticed even with the 1500 it left a few scratches in once i had mopped it.Might try to get somthing finer for a quick rub over like you say. My cars black, would you recomend g10?

Nice car mate.Wouldnt mind knowing some more about the motor youve got in it.V8 rightness...mmmmm

I know theres not a propper sale section,but i thought id plug this.So here goes I have a brand new crate motor for sale. It is a 4.8l Vortec engine,complete with 4speed auto trans already connected.The engines done 10miles only (factory test miles), and comes compelte with everything.Loom,downpipes...

DIY is cool, but such a pain in the arse. It took me like 8 months to go from old paint to new,fair enough mine was a rusty 18ft long american car.But take into acount, comming home from work, having a couple hours on it, having to strip down all paint, treat the metal with etch primer, sort out rep...

Done 2 panels yesterday, brought the mop home from work and done 1500, then some g3 plus some finer stuff. Anyone got some tips of better moping compound? Some bodyshop bloke said G10, im not too clued up on the faracle range

Quick question here for anyone thats had expereience wetsanding and buffing new paint. My camaro was freshout of the booth yesterday, next weekend im going to 1200/1500 the whole car, then probably G10 it, but was wondering somthing about Mops. The mop i use at work is just your normal 2 speed "weig...

Gota be gold, without a doubt.Big pimping

lol dont worry mate, i sold my E30 a week ago, bit sad to see her go, although i picked up a Kia Pride from work for 100 quid with a new mot, to run around in when my Camaros my weekend car. In the last week of driving the thing, ive ragged it more than its probably been in its whole life, its had t...

Ant, fancy giving me the exact adress of this place, could do with nabbing a new 5.7 for my camaro

Yeh i bet it sounded awesome. Thing is, from my point of view its a waste of cash.Yeh yank motors are heavier, but for a couple of grand nowadays you can get a crate motor with near enough 300hp, or if u know anything about engines build a better one for cheaper. Theres just so many yank parts to ch...

Looks nice jordan!

Anyone that has 6 exhausts comming out of their car dosnt deserve respect tbh

I have to say, no offence, it looks like a piece of sh*t. I personaly dont like outrageously modded cars. But theres a big difference between someone like Bootymans car and this, not trying to be a dick, but bens has a touch of class, its been well thought out without it seeming like random parts ha...

No mate, what was it about?

The thing in the 70s was to make a car out of a lump of steel, then wonder why everything started to rust !!

Nice thread , as im after something to use on my sills to replace the stone chip look. Halfords have the waxyol stonechip stuff, but its really thin, i wanna re do the sills and paint them before i sell the car to clean it all up

Ah right, yeh it looked sweet, shame it got mullered

.......But he wrote it off....ie, its f*cked=why bother rebuilding somthing thats fked

Hows this any differnt? Anyone who thinks a standard sport feels quicker than a skyline, and lifts off about a meter is either on drugs, or knows sh*t all about cars.

Just driven a mates E36 328i sport with ACS kit on it, well nice, pretty quick as well, although somthing isnt right about it. He let me and my brother have a go, and its a real solid ride, but i got the arse out and somthing just dont feel right, its got the power all right, but id much rather have...

Whoever says those wheels are shit should be shot! They were awesome, theyd be more suited to a nice lincon continental or somthing though, tbh i expected worse, it wernt amazing but at least they didnt put lexus lights on it !

Couple of things guys, i know the search has shit loads of centrel locking threads, but i thought any other info would be great, might as well put both problems into one. Right, this has been happening for a couple of months, the drivers electric mirror is going mental, i get in the car and it just ...

Drifting is all about controls guys, anyone can get the arse out if they rape the clutch, but there is no way an IS can 'drift' in 3rd on normal roads. All the people that drift a lot will tell you, in the dry it takes a lot of effort to keep the power down, ok you can kick the clutch in and try dif...

You guys talking about in the dry? Not calling you a lier or anything, but i cant see any standard IS losing it in 3rd. In the wet, ok, but still you either need a hell of a lot of clutch kicking , or to be going propper quick, but that aint really controllable drifting if you have to plunge into a ...

3rd gear IS drifting? 8O maybe yours is twice as powerfull as mine lol. Their cool cars, although im seriously wanting more power, cant wait to get my camaro up and running, engine rebuilt i should be pumping an easy 400bhp, then it will be time to say bye to the old beemer i think, unless i stick t...

k cheers mate. Dans got some old IS ones, would the front be better than whatever ive got on there as well?

Yeh just had a look on my brothers sport to see what holes i should look for, and then checked mine, its got the mounting holes, but obviously ill need the bracket for the arb as well, not a problem though. Cant beleive how basic my setup is tbh, i drive my car pretty hard sometimes,so id love to se...

Just read that after searching for some ARB info, and it seems that maybe my 318i rear trailing arms (drums) might not have the propper mounts for a rear arb? Any one confirm t his
