I looked at 17's but they didnt look quite right. The alloys on it at the moment are RS10 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears, as Neuspeed don't do any wider. The car's only been dropped 20mm front and rear on FK Automotive sports springs, any lower an 18's would rub on the arches. Tyres are 215/35/18ZR's by...

I know. I wasn't being sarcastic. Its not up to me whether you believe me or not, its up to you.
I don't mind. You telling me you think im talking B.S doesn't stop me driving it to work, or taking my Fiancée out in it, or taking it to VAG meets.

Pic here now...

Took a picture of my 'Rado this morning, to try and settle some of the 'shiznit' calls.
Typically, the english weather has conspired against me and its cloudy as sh*t.
But here we go...

Carry on calling B.S if you want, you think I care particularly?
If anyone wants to know the spec just message me.

Something A Bit Special...

Everyone loves the E34 M5 with its big, gunty 300BHP 3.5 Flat 6... Some people more than others. A Norweigen firm called VS Motor strengthened the engine and bolted on a massive ITS GT88 turbo. 1126 RWHP 854 Lb Ft Torque 0-60 in less than 2 seconds on drag tyres. Top speed of over 210 MPH I Still th...

I agree with you...but i dont think you could squeese the M5 5.0 V8 or V10 into a lil M3... :P On another note of interest, a Swedish tuning company turbocharged a E34 model M5 3.5 Flat 6 to 1,136 BHP, with 890 Lb Ft torque. That'll be a SITS GT88 turbo and an intercooler from a 20-tonne dump truck....

Most insane modification I've seen is a Corrado VR6 with a transplanted R32 lump and a custom Stage 2 supercharger. Lots of strengthening work, 6-speed 'box and 440 BHP. At the front wheels. Apparently, the owner is going to fit it with Haltech 4x4 soon. Wouldnt mind seeing the 1/4 mile for that bea...

I think you might well be right, though from what i've seen you might have to take out the alternator, AC compressor et cetera, and probably rebuild the drivetrain.
But I would love that car *sigh*

I really. Really. Really. wanna buy an E46 M3 CS. Mod the front end to take the M60 4.4 V8 and supercharge it. That would be like driving a 600 RWHP Supercharged M5, only smalle. And faster. And scarier. Only problems is, that would cos MINIMUM of about 70K, and thats not counting re-building suspen...

At the moment, all i want is more HP's out of my Corrado, a new engine for my engineless M3 EVO (I'll probably have to sell the 'rado to get the money) and enough cash to buy and supercharge an E46 M3 CS (Please, someone just give me sixty grand).

That Golf had a custom turbo upgrade (You could see the re-routed feed pipe on top of the engline) He probably buggered up the fuel-air mixture levels or fried the ECU. Shame really, cos that thing would have probably been putting out about 250 brake at least. Not bad for a lil golf. I want more out...

Stupidiest thing i've done, was when i was 17, passed about a month before, first car (a Polo 16V), took it on the motorway for the first time. Some fat handed tosser in a Focus cut across me.

Personally, the most I've done is 121 in my 'Rado.
In other people's cars, hit 130 at Bimmerfest in a borrowed Active Autowerke M3
And being driven, 155 in a stage-2'd Lancia Delta Integrale HF Evo 2

SLI works well, despite what people say. Running both at a 200MHz overclock, it will outperform the same setup on ATI Radeon X800 for half-life 2, which is tastey.
Pity its so expensive.
