Today, the love returned for the car. Since I finished building it, I've hated it, hated the way it drove, the car and everything about it :(

But after a hard and fast drive over the moors, and a couple of pictures, with lots of tyre lines everywhere on the roads I took, the love has come home for the car :cool: :cool: :cool:

Heres a couple of pics, I have hi-res versions if anyone wants them too :top:

running about 300-320bhp at the moment, Never had any problems with the engine apart from this oil leak from the front crank seal.

And the engine, when it was in my sapph, has done over 10 hours of hard track action, and well over 40 laps of the Nurburgring 8O 8) 8) 8) 8)

That in itself, is fantatsic for a 116k engine. Also, a fantastic testament to the man who wrote the software in my ecu - Stu at Motorsport Developments in Blackpool - He is a god winkeye :D

theyre definately a love/hate beast ,when imhating mine (usually after a big cash outlay repair) i take it for a thrashing and it puts the smile back on my face winkeye are you planning to turn the boost back up to pre e30 levels?

M3 spoiler modified by myself (the studs ground off and then secured to the boot lid via long studs, 3 per side, and sikaflex to seal it)

the boost will be raised to 24psi, and then If I go a new engine, a posibility of 28psi and low comp, about 400bhp - more than enough :cry:
