Is that your arch roller?
Iirc I can't fit an IS splitter on, I had the standard splitter but knocked it off on friday.

Arch roller is one we borrowed off a friend :)
Bugger, i need to use one, was going to see if i could borrow it!

How come? My car is lower and keeps an iS one on fairly easily.

Nice build.

Woke in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep so read this thread instead. Fell asleep on the last page. Just woke up now and finished it.

Was a good read and certainly beat staring at the ceiling.. :D

Hi,
Great to find this.
I'm thinking of putting the 318tds into an e30 touring.

I can't find details on a few items.....
What engine mounts were used.
Did you have to modify the sump to fit the e30 subframe.?
What gearbox was used? and what prop?

thanks.

318tds is completely different to this one so none of what we used will matter.
