Gosh. The whole Zone has go feature mad :hammer: Well if it's any consolation, i've had 2 this year and a picture of the car has been in one mag or another evry month since March this year to date winkeye

I defo think a few cars here deserve a feature though. Lets hope they get it too. All this talk of bloddy power. Right now i'm pissed. Next year i will be coming with a supercharged or turbo'd M3 Evo lump. We'll see who's laughing then :eek: Then I'll be looking for another feature :wink: JUST WATCH THIS SPACE.

Nooo Spikey hair boy! The mag will state whos car it actually is.

Andy Everett was very impressed by the torque and performance. "It would kill a standard C2" are his words.

Just stick in the 2.7 and your in.

While your at it, uprate the cam, port the hell out fo the head, Use really high comp pistons, add BTB/Alpina manifold, map it all on megasuirt and youll be scaring E34 M5's all day.

sal

if you spend the above on an e30 including labour you could probably buy an e34 m5. which isnt really going to have much trouble dealing with an e30.....2.7 or not.

as for the artical in total, i bet you got your mug in there. :?

you didnt happen to meantion bexleys did you..... :roll:

Hi dips m8,nah havent fitted it yet.Need to know how first ! lol
Do i need a new filler pipe ? also does it run another fuel gauge ??

I think the filler pipe gets replaced by a y piece one.The etk shows up to 1987 so im a bit unsure it will fit mine which is a 1990.

The white m3 was nice,dodgy looking owner though winkeye winkeye

A good 210+ with flat torque curve 2.7 is a very fast car.
