Now that ive finally found a place that can host my pictures on a more permanet basis (advertised on one of my pictures!) i can have a few pics of my car up!
Just to recap exactly what the car is, it started life as a 316i and was picked up by Parkside Autos in Worksop to have an engine conversion done on it. An M50 engine from an E34 was dropped in, mated with a E39 close ratio gearbox. They added the SE side skirts, M-tech II front and M-tech I rear spoiler at the same time. Oh and a 2 piece Scorpion Exhaust.
Once i had gotten hold of the car i installed a 3.25 LSD from an M3, since before it had a 3.46 open diff wrongness! Also i had a strong urge to dechrome the car and put on colour coded mirrors which i did right away! In addition the Scorpion midbox was ripped out and replaced with a Powerflow one which improved the sound coming out the tailpipes no end.
More recently ive slapped a BMC airbox instead of the K&N cone filter that was sitting in the middle of the engine bay (excuse the hacksaw on my cylinders, i was attempting some "correction" work). And some Toyo T1-Rs all round.
With a Chip, the car probably has around 200 odd bhp and does 0-60 in 6.34 secs with 1/4 coming up in roughly 15.07 secs with terminal speed about 97.7 mph.
Future plans include getting the Map Light mirror and the Rear Blind ive got sitting around slapped in, perhaps Air Conditioning at a later date or even an S50 conversion for even more power!
