Certainly set a good benchmark :D I'd definitely be happy with that too! My b28 made that last time, although the torque and the curve is obviously rather different on mine

A very tasteful upgrade...
Couple of questions:

What springs/dampers did u use on the front end?
Gearbox?
Diff?
steering rack?

Cheers, Mark

springs are apex -30 shocks are b8s , front struts have 10mm alloy spacers on top of the mounts to give me standard 318is ride hight . you can see the spacers in the photos on page 1 .
gearbox is m42 and diff is 373lsd .
streering rack is the quicker e46 sport one .

Hah i was just about to ask if you were selling anytime soon! Looks a great car, if you don't mind me asking what sort of money are we talking to do a conversion like this?

My iS could be prime for it!
