here are some more pics of what's being happening, going a bit slow at the moment. We think it will be done by the end of this week but i still doubt it.

heres some more pics of the motor complete, just doing the finishing touches before I drop it it.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that was a brand new engine. Looks good! You know I wanna be there when you turn the key for the first time!

Did you paint the rocker cover with wrinkle coat or did you have it powder coated? I'm thinking about getting mine done.

[bingbong]

it was wrinkle coated, Started it up today and boy oh boy, sounds bloody brilliant. Only a few little things left to do now will probably have it for the weekend!

[bingbong]

here are some more photo's, also a dummy fit of the new seats ive got.

[oz_tom]

Oh man... that motor looks sweeeeet!

[bingbong]

I cant wait to take it out on the track, that will be the best part.

[oz_tom]

Hell yeh!

How many k's do you need to run it in for? Its going to be so annoying not being able to explore the upper rev range with those carbs!

[bingbong]

well Im gona wait around 3000kms, but that may be a bit too much but I would prefer to be safe than sorry.

just doing a bit of an update for the blog, car is on the road and has being for the past 3 weeks! Not too many dramas as of yet but I have got a pretty big list of things to do! Major things to do: Rejet carby's, fit vacuum advance, fix heater box, get 5spd box and some bigger wheels. They are the major parts but I also have more future performance mods and hopefully some better body mods! LSD, EFI, BOOST, Suspension work and of course turbo body kit!

When the weather clears up here I will get out and get some decent pics of the car.

Does bavariacars have any lsd's hanging around? 320 or 323?

Any details on your turbo plans yet?

[bingbong]

They dont have any but they can bring them in from the US, normally they buy a palate of say 5 or so diff's then sell them off. If we can get enough interest around I'm sure I can have a word to Erik about it. As for turbo plans first EFI then I will really start thinking of turbo but as of now, I've got another 2 and a half years before I'm legally allowed it! But EFI with will ITB and then also rework the head, larger valves, double valve springs and a port of course, cant forget the extractors!

Hey bingbong if you're still looking for a 5 speed you could expand your search to include E30 M10 5speeds, seeing you've got custom gauges anyway it would be easy to adapt an electric speedo.

EDIT: OK that wasn't your car you were referencing in the other thread but just 1 from bavariacars site....you probably have stock gauges.

[bingbong]

yeah stock gauges!
