I have a Quaife ATB sitting on the dining room table.

For which car?

Liking the wheels.

[Yazza54]

Wow the engine looks like it was made for it.

[MartynVRS]

That looks very nice! Really does look OEM

My 106 XSi OEM+ rebuild project... Nothing too exciting but I like them in FWD cars!

They seem a bit 'smoother' (for want of a better word) on the road compared to plate diffs.

Ok, they work differently and aren't ideal for track work but mine is a road car.

Seems to be quite lively! Definitely sounds like a Yank V8 too, does the exhaust have an H/X pipe in it?

[anonymous-user]

Not bad for money for what will be a proper rocket with a new engine, 'box etc.

[AshBurrows]

You can only have red, white or blue though

[Timbuktu]

Love it!

What I'll be doing when my engine goes bang!

How much did the engine cost roughly if you don't mind me asking?

Red please! I honestly think it's a great colour on the e46 and seems pretty rare!

I'd probably have a standard interior (maybe CSL buckets) for the semi-sleeper look (ok, I know it isn't).

If I was picking that car up I'd only manage photos of the dashboard and fuel filler for about 24 hours before stepping any further from it, give him time
