Default Oh dear.... - 12-05-2006 , 01:50 PM






Take one good E36 shell with a dead engine.

Take one rusty Capri with a good engine.

Mix in a bowl until thoroughly blended.

Bake at 220 degrees C for 25 minutes. (Times may be shorter for fan assisted
ovens.)

Result ?

"This car is located in CO DOWN N IRELAND"

Says it all really.

Isn't that fuckwit Lurring from over that way?

It's exactly the kind of pile of shite he'd cook up.

I can think of no viable reason for that conversion other than "Because I
can"

Pah, they've not even used an injection one.

Thing is, as much as I don't like 4 cyl BMWs, with a turbo the size of a
house on the side of an M13, 1400 bhp is possible!

if only for a mile or two.

2.0L carb Pinto 101bhp
318i 113bhp

Manifold, exhaust and filter on a clapped out Pinto 2.0L may just be
enough to match the 1.8.

Never ever saw a BMW F1 turbo in qualifing make it back to the pits
from a 2nd lap. Only time I ever saw one not go bang on the "in" lap
after a 2nd lap was when it crossed the line and was then parked up on
the grass near the pit exit. It may have already been making death
rattle noises and the driver didn't want a long walk.
Yup, I know. Hence me stating "if only for a mile or two".

I think the only 16V heads they made for that M10 block were all F2
M12 and the F1 M13. Pretty much in the rocking horse poo category.
Yup.

There is so many good choices of engines for that conversion. SR20DET from a
Nissan immediately springs to mind. Or keep it in the family and shove a BMW
850 V12 donk in it.
