"Geared for a top speed of 150mph & predicted 0-60 of 3.6 seconds."

I'm surprised the owner wasn't *slightly* tempted to try it (or maybe it's so mental that timing 0-60 is not high enough up the list of priorities and the driver is otherwise occupied laughing insanely and/or trying not to die..)

I think it's smokin

I love the idea but hate the wheels and the front spoiler should be raised. Like the radiator intake shape though...
Think you'd struggle to get out of the seats!!

whs? They are nasty and not good - not allowed on UK circuits I think - they use them in Ro Hot Oval racing. No good - alloy and can fold round you in a crash.

This thing will never reach 60 in under 4 seconds...never ever...

I run a similar engine in a 3000M with much more grunt. 0-60mph in 3.6 sec. = impossible.

But still I think this car has potential especially the engine was the right choice...

we need to have some pics of your car posted old chum, it looks great in your profile pic. Nice to see some early bodied M's getting the treatment.

Also I think your second name is fab.

You mean it LOOKS STANDAR bar some nice rims. BUT IS MENTAL - it is what is underneath that counts (I always find) - no fan of flash me - better destroy someone when they think your car is a std 3000M!!!

340 BHP is quite easy to achive if you have a god supply of cool air and a decent exhaust system. It was a standard Rouse upgrade in the 90s and should provide quite impressive performance. Out of interest, what does the car weigh?
