No way! Would much rather have more money to spend on a car. More money always = potential for more fast.

True. But I'm not interested in fast with this thing it's all gonna be show. One day when one of my bogan mates write off one of their SS's I'll drop a ls2 in her. She's already got extractors,zorst & a lsd, she goes alright.

What you guys reckon about two tone, red from the trim up with maybe a black stripe, and black from the trim down? I Can picture it...

Always had a soft spot for the old beemers. You're definitely getting through the rebuild pretty quickly, solid effort haha.

The two tone look does go well on these, and red/black should look good if its proportioned right.

Those motors absolutely haul ass as well haha, especially in the 3's. Dads got a 735iL and its no slouch for an old girl. Have just spent about 6 months on dads fixing up things from intake manifold gaskets to complete cooling system overhaul. rockauto.com is your friend for parts, trust me haha
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

I thought mine had an exhaust system but apparently it's all standard, beside the extractors. It's sounds tough.. Don't think mines a 3.5 though :/ they're all so confusing lol I know it's the m20b23, do you know if that's the carby model? I haven't even checked . But yeah, she screams!

Well, the "Old School" Logic that they applied... Hehehe... Which makes a lot of sense.. Don't know why they would change it...

Pretty sure the old 3.5 is an M30b35. Beautifully built motors, but pricks to work on haha. Those extractors would have cost a mint to get fitted haha
