Ok folks, its been a while in the making, but here's what we've ended up with. Original car is a 1983 323i (euro). Motor has been replaced with an M50 (stripped and rebuilt) wearing EMS engine management and a Rotrex supercharger. Standard 5 speed box, 3.45 diff with 40% locking. M3 suspension and brakes front and rear (with Cool Willy pads). Turner Motorsport Jstock suspension, KMAC camber kits front and back plus full TMS reinforcement kit. Wheels are Racing Dynamics 16x7.5 which will be wearing 225/50/16 Kumho V700 Victoracers. Shakedown meet is 25th March - I'll post some pictures after that. FWIW dyno shows 175kW at the rear wheels - about the same as a euro E36 M3 and we are weighing in at about 1100kg - some 400kg lighter than the same M3!!!!!!
