No, It would be a 4 pot. I could do with saving some money at the moment so I'm thinking about getting something that would be cheap to run.

and before anyone else steps up to buy missys dolphin grey 325, they can fark rite orf, coz she'll be coming back to me if michelle sells her. :tongue: Michelle and I have already discussed this before, so I'm 1 step ahead of you all! Mwuhahahahaha! *cough cough* :snigger:

Michelle, I'm sure we could find an iS engine and the respective parts to put into the car you showed me earlier. I assume this would be the master plan base?

basic answer michelle, is that you would probably want mtech suspension ala 318iS and 325sport, 318iS anti roll bars or even better, 325 anti roll bars, rear disc brake conversion probably best with ABS.
Youd want an iS rad and cooling system to go with the engine obviously, and i believe the iS runs different engine loom etc.

the only problem with a conversion michelle... is that its not standard. :wink:
