Big fan of the project. What are the plans for it? Racing?

[moonpie_murders]

i love the interior and the engine. but i have to be honest, the outside looks too much like what a riced-out civic would look like. IMO the wheels shouldn't have been painted and bad choice in tail lights. but of course, i wouldn't complain when i see it fly pass me on a highway. what kind of intake is that? i've seen it a couple of times but i don't know what the name is. and is it just for turbos?

overall nice car man. i can respect just about any car that took time and dedication. definitly an improvement over what you started with

For now its going to be racing/show @ the track. Got a small problem getting it registrered for normal road use here in Norway.

I understand what you mean, last year my project was getting the engine up working and this year (winter) i have been working on the finish (exterior/interior) of the car. To be a clean track car it might be a bit much, but well it ended up this way. As i mentioned above, this will be a trackcar/showcar (not only stant still, but actually smoke some tires too).

Thanks for the feedback.

i dig it..lower it some more and drive it like you built it...

[Three30xi]

me likey

ok so in the 4th picture from may 24th you can see some of the ignition system...apparently a bit different from the stock setup. I'm just wondering what's different, the wires from the coil packs seem to collect on what looks like a rail or something.

Might be overstepping some gearhead line...but how much did you drop into just rebuilding the engine? Is everything new?

[CraigMakDaddy]

those white rims look sick to me. Very clean and i like that blue too. Nice color. Although the tail lights are pretty horrid. Is there going to be a custom front bumper in the future? Man that thing is gunna look sick. Blue/white is a good combo.

As i am sure you know the stock setup has 6individual coils, when i installed my engine management system i changed to waste spark ignition. This means it sparks on 2x plugs/cylinders at a time. For this i use 3x double Haltech coils, it works really good. To get enough power to the coils i also need a power amplifier, which are placed inside of the car.

Everything inside the engine is new, and balanced. Not sure exactly how much i used on it, but 20k goes fast

Yeah, the front bumper is a modified Rieger Infinity II. Will post pictures of it within next week.

love the car, the color combo to me is very loud but i like it, the tail lights i dont like, personally i think the L.E.D lights that have come out for E36 would look much better, but that is just my opinion.

Did i mention i love your car

[JurT]

Ohh man that's a sweet looking car! Love the digidash!

Does the airbox only fit with a turbo or does it also fit without a turbo?

Where on the dyno the other day and the results was 361rwhp/495nm @ 1,2bar.

Calculated to ca. 400hp in engine, i was very happy with the results.

Dyno/Mapping was done by PPF (Pure Performance) in Avesta, Sweden.
