Im not sure what you mean high compression. As far as I know its the standard 2.7l 6 cyl in there. Revs to 4800 stock.

I have a chip, exhaust, and drop in K&N on it now, nothing big but maybe it a bit livlier.

Zimmie, maybe I'll buy it and sell it fixed to Axxe. I have to try out this flexible plastic epoxy I bought on the air dam I got from Paul before I buy another.

your engine is the eta engine-its high compression, low revving to get good gas mileage :cool: :cool:

it has a higher compression ratio than either the m20 2.0 or m20 2.5 that could also be had in the e30.

as for making it a bit peppier-you could do a 2.7 'stroker' conversion to give it a bit more poke.

try doing a search for 2.7 conversions...

you'll be surprised (200bhp as opposed to your 140bhp :wink: )

the eta used in Europe and N/A has totaly different pistons. in order for him to do a 2.7 Covertion he will need special/custom pistons or SUPERETA pistons.

Dave let me know. ill work out a really good deal for u. I need to clear my garrage asap my parents r on my neck :(

Wing protection sleeves?

UK terminilogy is going to kill me. :lol:

The trim things on the fenders the body shop put on after it was painted. I would take them off but the paint would like to come with it. They don't bother me that much anyway.

Thanks for the compliments.

Hi

Nice progression man, i managed to organise a 2.7 eta 2 door for 1 of my buddies. we are currently doing the baby up.

we currently fitted my dino wheels on and we lowered it. however we still need to tune the motor up because this car was standing for around a year.

I will get some pics to show u how cool it looks now. we lucky we didnt have to do as much work as you, just a few times with Meguiars polish and she started shining.

So tell me is your 4 wheel drive ? apparently ETA come 4 wheel drive or do u no exactly which models are equiped ?
