I like it, bit dirty though What engine is that going in? Also on the last pic, what steelies are they?!

[be11]

ye anything would be dirty compaired to that beaut uv got!

putting the same engine back in that came out. its an m42 out of an e36. managed to find another one from the scrappers that seems ok. the cars just a bit of a drift slag tbh. gets fully abused!

the wheels are 15/8.5j and 7.5 j weller steelies. made for stock car racing i belive. hugeee reinforced lips on them! great for curb tapping!

[Kemix]

why thankyou. The wheels look cool, what suspension set up have you got? Are they 14" or 15" BBS by the way?

[be11]

there 14 inchers powdercoated black. had em on a golf and had to sell it with them its got spax springs and adjustable dampers on it. drives a treat

[zaust]

Oh dear, Not a good thing to happen. Nice to see it will be skidding again soon tho.

Dez the m50 has m20 fly set up i'm going to weigh it off against my lightened one and compare meerkats.
has an m20 box with modified shifter and tunnel support bracket to get it to work with the alien.

i'll get some pics of the goodies up on my thread asap dude.

[Dezzy]

Cool mate.

I would defos use your own lightened set up dude. M20 box as long as quiet is a good option.

Good crack mate get them up!

[magpie]

the one on the m50 might have been skimmed to 6.5 kg i'll find out as things progress.

[Dezzy]

Good good. You don't want it too light as it will affect it on idle. 6.5k is about right.

[magpie]

6.5 makes for a healthier lift,has to be right innit
