Later e46 had e-throttle that I think slots straight into floor mount. Dunno if it runs the throttle body though. Anyway... it’s fucking awesome. Love it. Carry on.

Ok. Here’s my silly suggestion. If its getting hot on the fans, are you sure they’re running the correct way?

Dragged this outta the weeds where it had been sitting for a couple of years. Cleaned it and chucked some new gas in it and a battery. Started it up no drama and took it for a short run up the road. Had forgotten what a laugh it is to drive. But the tyres had turned to plastic so behaved like a drunken monkey. Got some tyres onto a set of wheels I’d had hanging around for a few years but was too weary of them rubbing to use before, but thought fuck it, they’ll do for a hoon down to Leadfoot in Feb. And they do rub but meh. Then it sprang a leak in the radiator. Bugger. But if that’s the worst thing that happens I’ll call it a win. Got a renewed interest in it so as soon as I get the shed built I’ll rip it to bits and rebuild it to fix all the things I rushed or don’t like about it.

This won’t make it to leadfoot this year will it?

Grey area I guess. Anything structural like wall hung pans and sinks builders should be doing it. Anything for taps ect is up to the plumbers. House is looking awesome though. You’ll be stoked to see them leave ha.

I'd do just about anything for beer.

When I did this to the e30 I also needed a printout from a digital chassis aligner/laser thingy showing it was all still square and straight. Was pretty easy in the end except there aren't many panel shops equipped with one.

Flitch plating?

All good. Thanks Cletus. Something something cut outs not that big something something ahem.

Still keen on an answer to this tbh.

Waits with bated breath for the answer as someone I may know has done exactly this to fit a larger radiator...

Really? I thought it was only crumple zone cars you couldn't modify the chassis rails? Pre 19somethingorother.

Not sure if I'm serious ha. As much as I have a hankering for 70s Jap coupes, am also equally keen to avoid sellers remorse. Been there done that if you know what I mean....

Swapsies for E30V8 . Red on black too!

Dunno, cant help, but is a sweet as colour!

Yup, love it.

Thanks for the reply mate. So possible but not worth their time and/or effort? I can understand that. Presumably the same for the M62?

Something I hadn't thought of to be honest. They are definitely a slug tuned thing. I'll have to see if he remembers anything from what ever conversation he had with them. Testament, they're a SOHC so no worries there.

This thread still alive? Have a mate with a BMW 850i which is basically a couple of m20s welded together. Anyway, apparently he's been told (by Kelfords if I remember right) that the cams in it are unable to be reground. To me that sounded a bit odd seeing as they are more or less a pair of I6 cams. Any thoughts on whether this is correct chaps?

Is it M50 currently? Inside looks the biz with those seats.

Nice. What diff ratio does the auto have?

More pics please.

Master metal smasher. I just cut mine off and made new ha!

Any thoughts on running a heater at all? Always been curious whether it was possible, what with all the V8s and the like being screwed into Eskys and Cortinas and the first thing to go is always that bulgy bit on the firewall.

Yup, a right pain in the arse. Looking good though.
