my bmw v8 phnaaaar!

[RacingDave]

my current money pit/tyre smoke generator! bought for £400 off t'ebay its a 3.0 manual v8 with a cracking collection of dents and filler but mint mechanicals mean its a very practical muscle car. currently running a screwfix cooker ducting/ebay crap/throw everything in the bin tuning package, no rear silencer and very little rest of exhaust (its loud!) can be seen terrorising pointless chav muppets in around the coventry area twice daily.

will keep updated with piccys as fun continues

you gonna join us in the £999 with this dave? if you are, watch out for bob. after his last comment he might start dry humping it!

i wouldn't know where to begin to be honest although i have thrown away plenty of weighty crap and its my daily driver too so not keen to blow it up. its being done up on a very budget theme so would fit the £999 easily. cost £400 for the car, approx £160 so far in bits (paint (£40), oil filter housing and filter (£35), spark plugs (£25), induction kit (£12), door rubbers (£25), door handle surround (£13), big tin of filler (£8), sandpaper (£3), shiny gearknob (£8), and thats about it.

just pricing up some citroen exhausts to chop up to build a proper dual single silencer system, hoping to do it for less than £40.

must get pics up i swear!

[rooskle]

looking at your rear door and quarter, they ripped you off with the paint. thats 50p's worth[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

[RacingDave]

it was going to be a terminator mural bit of pound shop guide coat for ya.

[RacingDave]

a little bit of progress, got 2 exhausts to chop up and mod to build a new system for a whopping £8. also threw some more filler at the doors and painted them but it still looks utterly trousered so going to a bmw breakers v.soon for 2 doors. cost approx £40.



apart from that i changed the fuel filter and popped a 200k ohm resistor in place of the intake temp sensor to fool it into running advanced timing for a little extra oomph. probably only worth 1 bhp got a set of £free 16" z3 5 spokes coming at the weekend as the mother-in-law has upgraded to some 18's
