I think the E36 steering UJ mod was being disscused along with a custom exhaust....

quick question, what is the difference between the servo's? obviously the size but what about performance? is there any gain or loss in feel or bite etc?

cheers guys. it looks really neat and not overpowering so may change it if it also has a performance gain?

is there anything to the AC-S badge? a real one, ie fiddled woth or just a standard lump?

looking good though, not as much raw grunt than a M30 but it's a lovely engine. my wife has one in her E34 sport.

nice one matey!

how bad is the wiring on this thing going to be?
