Thought I would start a build thread showing how I'm getting on with my car. Firstly I'll give some background info. This all started about 3 years ago when I bought an abandoned 325 supercharger project. The set up had been running on another 325 but was very roughly fitted when I got it and a lot of work had to be done to get the shell sorted and get the engine running. I started looking into it and the management used was very old school, it was running a maf, standard size injectors etc and had been putting out 212hp and 298ftlb. Anyway to cut a long story short after speaking to people and doing some research into I decided I wanted to turbo the car instead.
So 2 years ago I rebuilt an engine using b20 block bored out and fitted all the b25 bits and pieces with new rings, shells, gaskets, pump etc. This wasn't the origonal idea but a machine shop f**ked my b25 block but thats another story.
Thats when I started on the shell. I had quite a bit of welding to do on the front end but was working on it outside and it was always pishing down and my landlady was basically an arsehole so I had to buy a new house with better garage space.
So finally just over a year ago I got better garage space and could get stuck in so I finished building a jig for better access for welding. Unfortunately the more I worked on the shell the more dodgy repairs I found and the more hidden rot I found. I decided that even if I fixed up everything I would still woudnt be happy with it so decide to cut my loses and get myself something good to start.
In Feb I found myself I nice 318i auto with fsh, 116k, solid, never been welded, needed a wing and a bit of paint sorting but all in a good buy.
So now I could start having fun:
067 rack
old out
fully rebuilt, 12.9 high tensile head bolts, stage 3 clutch, lightened flywheel etc
I am away from home working at the moment and don't have any more photos with me but will try to list the work done and spec so far but probably a few things i've forgotten
m20 block bored out and full rebuild with b25 crank, rods head etc
255 fuel pump
manual box getrag 260
stage 3 race clutch
lightened flywheel
short shift
quick rack p/n 067
lsd 3.64
toe camber adjuster plates with eccentric bolts on rear
billet high spec 4 pots and 306mm discs on front
rear disc conversion
braided line and new hard lines
koni adjustable shocks
h and r cup 40/60 springs
m3 offset wishbone bushes
eibach adjustable arb

Like I said prob a few more things I cant remember at the moment. I am currently running in the engine and clutch. The next head ache will be the megasquirt which I will be fitting when the car is still N/A. After this turbo, intercooler, exhaust etc etc
I shall say no more
