9-30-2021
250hp/620ft lbs stock engine, larger injectors, HX40W turbo, ats bigfoot manifold, 3" turbo back exhaust, 4" intercooler and 3" intercooler piping with dual hole inlet plate, fluidampr front pulley and arp bolts, timing bumped, rebuilt pump, still yet to fit AFC controller and bigger delivery vavles
i don't know if i will have it by then as i might look into selling it into the newyear after some more testing as I'm paying alot of money out on cars that I'm not even using
some pics
Was inside on trade stands at the japanese performance show in my local town
A picture circa 2009 of when the car was first imported to the UK
if leant on can make her roll coal
she also does tow pretty well
Lada updatees
whipped off all the front panels for inspection or what more i need to buy etc
front rad panel fits like rubbish but also need to buy new front wings, rad cowling, rear quarter panels and valance for a start
i have most of the awd parts now, i still need to get engine mounts and driveshafts (easy to get new), gearbox is now in a container on its way over from America but my biggest head scratch atm is a RHD awd steering rack, i have an X3 one that il proabably have to make new mounts on the subframe as a high shaft angle front bolt hole mounted rack unlike 98% of all bmw racks
also very tempted to do a 2 door conversion as ive got to repanel the whole car currently anyway

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
