flaming right. It looks like something from NASA

[capnmchl]

So much loom-age, and pipe-age

[bab-91]

There is a e30 M3 V12 build on YouTube iirc.

You wouldn't be able to live with that day to day without decorcating the dash with your brains!

[scjimbo]

It would be good fun until you did though

[suchy]

That wouldn't be fun at all!! You'd soon get p*ssed off with breathing too hard on the loud pedal and smoking the rears down to the cords. Far too much power to use and enjoy properly

[BATTS91]

Mehh thin is if you had the cash to do te conversion im sure youd have cash to buy new tyres each week ! I sure bloody well would lol

[suchy]

I'm on about the fun factor!! It would be a monumental pain in the arse to gain traction with this in an E30! It would soon become tedious having to granny around in it because at the mere hint of throttle the rears would light up. The novelty would soon wear off not being able to use all the power properly!

[FinalD]

I don't see why it should be hard to drive, set up properly it'd be fine, great example:

[suchy]

You would have to drive it carefully, wouldn't be hard to drive but where's the fun in driving around like a granny because you have too much power to use?

[FinalD]

My point is more that there is not 'too much power to use' provided the car is set up well and you drive it well, that does not mean you have to granny it everywhere, just apply throttle sensibly. The throttle is not an on/off switch.

That I understand. My point is what is the point of having all that power and not being able to use most of it properly. The rears would light up very easily so you'd have to drive it carefully all of the time! I just think it's a bit too much to be proper fun. It would be heroic to do the conversion though!!!

[FinalD]

The amount of work involved in the videos I linked is quite staggering, they essentially remake the car, put a V12 in, strap some turbos on and have hilarious fun...I want it.

[suchy]

Phenomenal amount of work getting that to work properly!! More of an advert for one's skills though. Smoke through tyres for far less work and money and have more fun

[turk]

I can do one of these if anyone has £25000 odd. There a shitload of unique ecu bodgery to be done, weeks of wiring and trickery, weeks of welding, and restrengthening.

lol, one day maybe eh....
