Car isn't road legal yet J. I'll got a 6 seconds vid of it starting. But it's not that interesting lol

Hey you wrote about giving here a cheeky run up and down the street lol... seriously, all in good time!

It's untested so far mate. I gotta get confidence in it first. I only gave it a tickle, it picks up very quickly and it sounds great.

what engine mods it had done

USA spec m3 cams, m50 intake, big bore throttle body and it's also been remapped for these mods.

umm very nice what power you reckon its pushing

Most people get about 240hp which is probably about 220hp at the wheels.

WOW lots of work done there. looking excellent. 240bhp should be fun.

yeh it puts out the same amount nearly in torques as well. so it does feel like its got some grunt. even with my 100 yard drive up n down the road i can tell its miles better than the m50

stuff I have left is mikey mouse really,

washer bag bottle thing
inner steering arms need replacing
decided to change exhaust tailpipe at the same time its getting repacked
rear dust cover for the disk brakes needs bending think they are touching the disk slightly must have bent it when putting the wheel on.
fuel gauge wires need another look, they are not working
pop rear seat squab back in.
MOT
its going off back to mals on sunday for a couple of bits that need a slight touchup

then all thats really left is the speedo. I was going to use the chopper wheel from an e30 diff but it will need some extensive mods to make it work, I am thinking of just sacking it off and buying a GPS speedo sensor that you simply give a +12 and negative and then it works out your speed via satellite and then sends the signal to your speedo and its very accurate.

In the meantime I do have an app on my phone which does the same thing really. I can live with that for a little while.

You must be abel to get something like this then use a magnet on the prop shaft

I was thinking this

twice the price but I like it and probaly saves 200$ worth of getting a pusle of an e30 chopper wheel

yeah its just a fit and forget thing really.. I like that kind of thing.

Car passed mot today. Yeyyy
