But because it was also my daily I ended up getting carried away and bought the Gaz suspension, hydraulic handbrake, strut braces and XXR wheels to help it handle and look better. Then when I was more adept at sprinting and drifting I wanted more power and so carried out the turbo conversion. I didn’t want to make a dodgy unreliable conversion so paid the money to get good quality branded injectors, turbo and management as opposed to cheap/fake eBay parts. I done one awesome drift day at Snetterton with the new power and then had a small accident approx 2 weeks later L. The good news is that the turbo conversion performed brilliantly and survived a long day of thrashing around the track with only a single boost hose popping off due to a loose jubilee clip. The bad news was that the shell was ruined in the accident, but apart from some boost pipes, intercooler and front strut brace everything else survived in tact J. So I hunted for a while to find a good shell to transfer all of my parts to and eventually found one that was already track prepped! I scraped together the £2100 for it and slowly started fitting the engine, gearbox and management. Unfortunately due to a big change in my personal circumstances I then started University and have since struggled to find the time to finish the job. More importantly even when I do complete the car I no longer have the time or money to use it, so it seems only sensible to sell it as I still have 2 more years of Uni left where the car will be sat on my driveway not being used. It’s been awesome fun but it’s time for it to go…….. Thanks for looking Rob 07811171872 (I’m a bit useless at answering so please leave a message and I’ll get back to you ASAP) Here are the pics.....enjoy And finally this is how the original car looked on the Gaz suspension and XXR wheels....
Yes I have been to a couple of TSS events before I turdo'ed it, awesome fun isn't it Here's an under bonnet pic, the forum only let me upload 25 pics in the other post and this one accidentally got left out
I think the black bbs wheels on the car are the standard ones, aren't they??? But I'm not open to selling anything separately until the car has sold. The buyer of the car gets first refusal on all of the 'extras' then anything left over will be re-advertised. I think this is fair because if I was buying the car I would want all of the extras.
Although it's a pet hate of mine when people quote random power figures out of the sky without actually having a rolling road print out I have had quite a few questions about the power output so feel I should give an estimate. Basically I haven't put it on a rolling road, I had it 'live mapped'. According to internet folklore all of the parts fitted and engine should be capable of 350bhp at a little over 1 bar of boost. However I wanted the car to be reliable so had it conservatively mapped, so my best guess is around 300ish bhp. Also I did used to own an E46 M3 and this certainly doesn't feel slow compared to that, although it does have a very different power delivery as it is turbo. I hope this helps
Ok so it turns out I got the summer internship I've applied for which means I'll be moving 250 miles away at the end of the month. It would be quite useful (but not essential) if this is gone by then........any offers?
