A quick update, lots going on behind the scenes, but there hasn't been any detailed photos of the car thus far so thought I would post some up.

Started to clean inside and sort all the small problems while waiting for hardware and parts.

A good clean.

Leathers

Gasket correction

Very clean inner arches

Took the front brakes to HighSpec, in their current state they are 360mm!!!! Way too big, not necessary, so HighSpec are going to re-machine the disks and calliper brackets.

Some random photos of the engine bay.

More to come.

RHD, didn't notice that before.

@demlotcrew, do you do any tuning or remaps for the s50b32?

Post Wed Jan 08, 2014 1:18 pm

Yes this shell has been converted to RHD, a very good and thorough conversion by Paul the previous owner.

Sadly I dont do anything for the S50, I would be able to install an after market EMS, but I would not be able to tune it as its something I don't have the necessary equipment for.

Have you contacted Evolve? I could possibly negotiate a little discount for you

From what I can see it seems like a lovely car.

Evolve was an option I just was going to see if anyone on the zone could do it so I could through the money there way. they use ACS autowerks don't they?

It says £400 on there website so any discount would be appreciated

Basically they car is running rich and seems down on power.

I would really be looking at why its not running correctly before any mapping.

Have you had any diagnostics run on the engine? I think that DanThe on the forum can help with an S50 map?

To be honest, the down on power thing is pure speculation without it getting dyno'd. its garaged for the winter but I will run diagnostics on it when it comes out fro the summer.

It's looking good Andrew Looking forward to the end result now

Which rack was used once converted to RHD?

Probably a z3 at a guess

Post Sat Jan 11, 2014 10:54 pm

The car is fitted with an E36 rack, will confirm which one it is exactly when I get under the car next.

How ever I feel that an E46 one should offer even more clearance.
