ok, so, started off as most do, was going to be a perfectly standard car. That lasted a little while, I got the modified ball rolling when I tinted the windows. That wasnt quite enough, so I modified the exhaust making it a custom twin 2" system with four cobys, no mufflers (its not quiet), It went on from there
Stayed like this for a while, until after having a too good of a time going round and round on the beach, I unfortunatly didnt keep my eye on the temperature gauge and overheated it big time. Luckily the only damage was a headgasket that didnt really go for a while later.
Whilst the head was off it seemed stupid not to do any modifing on it, my mechanic loved the idea. Luckiy I have a race mechanic that worked on a E24 bathurst car , whilst the head was only "lightly" modified when the head came off with, lightly ported inlet and exhaust ports "blueprinted", inlet and exhaust manifolds port matched, valves ground down and polished, head slightly skimmed and the valve seats rounded off.
While in was in the shop, I decided to do a couple of aesthetic mods consisting of colour coding some mirrors and removing the factory pinstripe
The head is to come off again, hopefully sometime this year, to do a more aggressive porting job and a cam.
Once again stayed this for a while, chucked some decent brake pads at it, and put it on the track a couple of times, lets just say, the auto wasnt cutting it out there. After saving some money I brought a 528i 5spd parts car
and my mechanic once again got stuck into my car. After huge dilemmas after trying to find a motronic flywheel, I got told by a BMW wrecker "oh yeah, the boss is got one of those in his shed I think". Fortunatly his boss did, unfortunatly, being a wrecker, he knew what it was worth, lets just say I paid a pretty penny and not keen to wreck this one.
Finally she came out of the shop, much more delayed than I thought, but was a huge change. Totally different car, takes off amazingly in third, my 13yo brothers eyes went as wide as dinner plates when I took him for a ride.
Lastest mods that have happened are a full suspension overhall including jamex superlow springs and custom machined celica/pajero kyb shocks.
The gearbox has recently been changed to a box out of a E12 M535i that I picked up for a measily $500. Custom alloy sump plate also.

badass bro, shud buy it and bolt the motor up in my car.
you dont want a M30B35 from an E34, the 9:1 comp, just the low comp version outta e23/e28/e23 8:1,
and shud just shmack it into a e21, or just get a low comp e28 and turb that.
-
would get Konis if i cud, but they dont make them for my car, they did for the front, but are now NLA
I currently have factory Mtech bilsteins with factory Mtech springs, looking to get the bilsteins revalved to a B8 (sport) spec, apparently Autolign do them, anyone had any experiences with revalvd shocks? Or should i just buy new bilsteins? (avalible)

strip out,
straight out, side out exhaust
take off the air filter (baddass induction roar y0)
shud cost you bout $50 if that all up, probably will give you next to no power, but my god will it be badass...
