Yeah for sure.

Pacerpete is a legend really, so I hope it isn't him!

He knows alot about BMW and has owned most decent ones built I think!

He's an aussie chap with a decent sense of humour, who can offend if you take comments about you/your car to heart!

Top man though!

Who is 'pomebastard'? I would be interested to know.

Another forum member who needs to climb back into the hole he came out of. There aren't too many people out there who would dismiss the fact that what Glenn is doing is fantastic. It's individual, a brave task and something a lot of us would like to have a crack at but just haven't got the gutts.
Pome, I'm willing to pay top dollar to see you line up next to Glenn for a 1/4 in your e30 (if you have one) or even an M5! Gotta say my money would be on Glenn as no doubt you've still got your L plates on.

As for better things to do with you cash?? Like what??? If he wants to drop a bigger lump into his car who are you to say that's a stupid idea? Am I allowed to suggest you spend your more wisely by booking yourself in for a lobotomy??

As for the holiday thing, well some of us have these things called JOBS. Where we can afford to do many things. I've just come back from Egypt. I was in the Caribbean last year, I bought a second house, built a bar in my garden (BMKev's 2nd home) built a highly modded mitsubishi, and next saturday I will be the proud owner of an 325i which I am going to work on. So tell me I can't buy a motor and spend a lot of time and money making even better than it already is.

Looking awesome mate, that cars going to be mental.

Also noticed Pomebastard's attitude on a few occasions.Whats the point in asking people for advice about things and then slaggin other people off. I think your the one that needs a bird mate, take your cock out of your exhuast and get out the house. Theres some decent chaps on here,all of whom help each other, so everybody be cool.....

Sun Mar 13, 2005 9:18 am

conversion looks stunning mate.
gota take my hat off to ya for doing it..

Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:02 pm

I'm nothing to do with that illiterate antipodean pomebastard ,i presume he's some kiwi loser with an e21 316 !. I would love to have something to do with the Olsen twins though! , more pictures please!

Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:28 pm

fabricated the engine mountings this morning, so this
is the final position for the engine.
next is to mount the gearbox
(couldn't get it in with the gearbox on)
this may alter the angle slightly, but hardly anything.

Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:30 pm

agreed, Pete is not pomebastard,

user is in the spotlight guys, what do you want done though??, bans are futile as the offenders just log on with new names, IP ban is no use as 100s can't get on site.

so for now a word to pomebastard, wind your next in a tad dude, you're annoying a few members, we cant all have the same opinions I realise but some are best kept off screen.

Consider it a warning M8

no-ones invisble, even using proxy

Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:39 pm

wkd work there glenn!!

ure workin bloody fast lol!

wot u doin about the brakes by the way?? clearance looks minimal haha

Karan

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:26 pm

with the brakes, karan, it should be allright with the e36 m3 brakes,
but i'll have to see when i get that far.
i just cross each bridge as i get to them.
there's no manual to follow!!
but i'm enjoying so far

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:32 pm

i meant what u r u gonna do regarding servo/master cylinder issue

lol

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:40 pm

not given much thought to that yet ,karan.
did look at it the other day when i took it off out the way,
and thought i could mount it more forward along the inner bay,then activate it with an extesion rod, quite easy that one karan,
i did n't think about it too much because i can always use a remote servo if i have to

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:42 pm

brake options are limitless

remote servo
hyd booster (ians beast)
porsche setup ( wills hybrid)

one I'm surprised no-ones tried is modify the existing setup so its inside the car, means no glovebox and some mods to the pipes and brake linkage but it could be done no worries.

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:46 pm

how's that conversion going karan

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:48 pm

or a full-on floor mounted pedal box would be interesting

there are many options---that is just the problem.... what best.

i'm definitely going the hydraulic route as it seems easy enough to fit and should give good assistance--but it may be a bit on/off in its function...

was just wondering what u were going for glenn with that humoungous engine in there

Karan

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:53 pm

i like that idea of mounting it inside the car, ant
i will look in to that more deeply when the time comes
thanks
glenn

Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:58 pm

im away from the car doing exams in bristol at the moment-

old engines out, m5 engine prepped to come out

got most bits like coilovers, m3 arms/wheels, 3.64 lsd, mounts,

i wanna strip all the suspension components and repaint them all nice and new also while its all out!

im back on it nxt weekend--plan is to get engine in and sort wiring (i have all connectors etc... thanks Ian!!) and fire it up

i was fekkin around last week removing multiple immobilisers from the damn engine side of the loom!! which was not fun. a lot should happened around easter time

however there are some issues with my 2.7 with possible shagged bottom end, so i may start pissing round with that instead.-also new diff and sport box to go on that!! as well as control arms/dizzy/rotor/plugs

will be picking up my hydraulic brake stuff from an e23 nxt week, and also an e36 rack to whack on while im in there-would be silly not to really.

then once its in get box in with necessary mods with my hammer to the shell

. then measure up for a prop, get that made, then she'll be off to hayward and scot for manifold mods and maybe a nice custom system too (fund permitting!)

interior is gonna have to stay stock iS, as is the exterior, but i'd like an alpina front spoiler maybe... the front metal valance is not perfect so i'll be getting another to go on there too

lots of work -will be doing all of it apart from exhaust and prop...

do u know anyone apart from hayward and ascot who could make a manifold up or mod my priginal?

cheers

Could you elaborate on this ?

Tue Mar 15, 2005 3:30 am

he has a porsche 924 brake servo.. end of

Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:29 pm

this car is a total beast. u gotta put a 318i badge on like karan.

Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:41 pm

not sure what badge to put on the back yet,
any thoughts anyone?

Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:47 pm

316

or maybe a special one made up like e30///M5

thats what i may get

Tue Mar 15, 2005 9:04 pm

Put a Corsa badge on it. The ultimate irony!

Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:22 pm

316i badge

Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:26 pm

Got to be either 316i or 350i

Obvisouly completely opposite, and would have completely different effects!

Wed Mar 16, 2005 11:29 am

your gonna have 400bhp!!!

Wed Mar 16, 2005 11:30 am

just have a 316 badgen not even the i, should surprise a few people

Wed Mar 16, 2005 12:53 pm

Id leave it blank or get 350i made up! Having a 316i badge on the back of a monster like that sells it short!

Wed Mar 16, 2005 7:09 pm

yeah but seriously funney. i mean. u wont want every bugger to know about it. so it makes sence to have no badge. or i really love the idea of 316, i mean you could really annoy scoobys and other such. hahaha

yeah
