buyer beware indeed
although the fact the car was a insurance right off should have been clearly stated in the auction as it affects the value
i would personnaly never buy a car without viewing it especially not for that money.

But live and learn ehh :cry:

Full rebuild on a cossie engine can be done cheaper than u think
Ԛ£1500 all in

try and rebuild other turbo motors for that money :mad:

the flat 4 engine idea would be different but they are not the best for tuning also i think you will have a nightmare with the steering rack

The only reason a standard 325 box gives a better 0-60 time is because u can hit 60mph in 2nd you can't do that with the sport box so have a extra gear change hence it ruins the 0-60 time But the sport ratio's with the 3.9 lsd are perfect for a tuned M20 it will always be in the sweet spot i tracked...

great job :cool:
its the conversion i have wanted to do for 3 years now
quick question

That V8 M3 looks the business see that featured in PPC mag
LS1 engine is a peach and actually very light for a V8 as its a all alloy version
