Tasty :)

Have to agree, you cant buy a horse on ebay turn up to collect it and find out its a cow only to buy it anyway and take it home to only THEN decide its not what you wanted.

Yeah tell him you'll get him from a local train station but not the airport. Let the guy see it tonight is the others a no show sell it to the 2nd person

VG30ET from the Z31 Sir

Nice but not really the look the other half wants, once she has her mind set lol :)

No just looking at whats out there, that one was on my favs just seeing how much it would end for. Thought about putting the 200sx turbo lump in but would be five times the cost of the BMW lump.

this is more like it :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-BMW-318-TI-Leather-MOT-until-December-full-electri-/250817138955?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a65ddd10b

Whoa FAR to expencive £400 tops for what we are after, will buy a CAT C thats been in a little knock that will do the job fine for our needs for £300.

Not an issue as such, the M44 is ment to be the better engine with better head flow design etc. Yup will be taking the brakes, we decided to buy a whole donor car so we can get as much as we can from one place, engine, gearbox, ecu, wiring, brakes etc then we can sell it to the scrap man for £200 and its cost us not a lot at all.

Ah I didnt know they used to M44 in the IS version, that does help in our search. Turboing it would be tricky with the room in the bay and costs again would mean we leave it as stock, but even stock will be nice and nippy for an old motor :)

And will blow the buget with the engine on its own lol

All comes down to money again though, its a compramise/cheap as we can fun build and can buy a complete donor 318ti for £400.

If an inline 6 would I'd be fitting the 2.8 lol

the 1.9 BMW lump is a 4 cylinder jobby an inline 6 wouldnt fit.

Starting a new project this summer thats been stored away in the garage for a few years. An old rubber bumper MGB GT has been sat there gathering dust and rot and its time to get something done with it. Its actually the other halfs and she has always wanted it converted to a Chrome Bumper version with spoked wheels etc but costs were running into tens of thousands so its a non starter. We've decided to turn it into something a bit different and have fun with it instead of a traditional resoration project. So instead of an engine rebuild we are going to transplant a 1.9 engine and gearbox out of a BMW 318ti, should see 8 seconds or less to 60. Candy Apple Red paint Chrome modern style wheels Lowerd Retrim inside No bumpers. So it should end up something like this just in Candy Red. Gonna strip it down this weekend and see how bad the rot is.

Not that much more no. Unless it was a manual, TT, Slicktop

Could say the same about racing drivers who get paid far far more than footballers for something we all do every day, driving lol ;)

Simple, we are not living in Clans any more with dozens of Kings round the country and we dont fight against each other any more for land. So we do it via sport, its in our nature to "war" with one another. Simples. Oh and COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!
