Been on this forum for ages, since I was about 16? Never bothered getting a corsa just stuck around for the fact its a decent forum.

So about time I posted up a thread about what I drive!

Got this a week or two ago:







its a e36 318i, has a "2.5" conversion. Which after I ripped the engine apart to rebuild it after it blew its headgasket, turned out to be a 2.8

Was built on the cheap which is blatantly obvious, still running the 1.8 diff/box so its ratios are mental. Has no traction control and like I said has blown its headgasket. Will be off the road for winter getting some TLC and hopefully be out for spring next year

I used to be like that too, Mtec kit does look good. But you car looks clean and i reckon with a massive drop and some nice wheels it would look good and different.

swap that inlet manifold for the bigger one from a 2.5 m50, much better pull over 3k rpm

E36 328
