the new jugs for my car

hey its been a while, i finally decided on rebuilding the m10 and on the rebuild going with the weber carb (keeping it oldschool). m20 swap maybe later. i got the maxsil hi performance jugs to use on my rebuild. there are .50mm oversize for nice compression.

i am back to m20 swap

i can get my hand on donor 320i car for the m20 baby six upgrade. thinking about it !!!!

take a look at the pic, this could be my 02!

kinda of got sidetrack with this

i had decided to rebuild the m10 with new e12 head. possible dual carbs. here is the inspiration motor.

motor choices

2 - drop in m20 baby 6
3 - e30 m3

BMW new 2doors sedan 2002 inspired

With the new 2008 BMW 135i, the German company explicitly promises a return to its compact sport sedan roots. This rear-drive two-door — in 230-horsepower 128i and 300-hp 135i form — "will reinvent the niche that the legendary BMW 2002 created," says the company. Meanwhile, it also frees up the 2002's lineal descendant, the current 3 Series, to move even further upmarket and grow even larger.
