    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    That does actually look quite cool but I'm 99% sure it'll be an S14a.

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Tbh it'll most likely be an S14a as an S13 would have to pretty special. Funnily enough most that do the 14.5 conversion put the S15 front end on. :lol: A Nissan badge certainly doesn't get women giving you that look you get when you say you have a BMW. But tbh it isn't the most...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    The only Skylines I like are out my price range. It would have to be a GTR. I don't like R33s, I don't have £25k for an R34 and mint R32s aren't easy to come by. I was offered an R32 GTT as a swap but turned it down. So that leaves me with the 200sx, and to be more specific either an S13...

    Boredom and power. You haven't spent the last 3 years in the BMW scene which unfortunately becomes boring when everyone does exactly the same thing. You get rewarded more for stance than performance which gets pretty annoying. It's time for a new project.

    The simple answer is mate that they're FWD. Imo RWD is far superior and I'm wanting a more powerful car. Both of those suggestions would be less power than I'm running now in a less capable car.

    Yeah it was mine PG. Have you been looking for one or did you check out my links via facebook? It ended around 10 minutes ago, with 93 watchers and over 4000 views over 10 days. Nobody has yet bought it although I've had a few messages about it and should find out tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

    Cheers mate. Just gotta hunt the right one down now.

    Hello mate! Almost got it, Japanese, turbo and RWD. ;)

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    It wasn't an easy decision but I've been thinking about it now since around December. Then it became more serious over the last couple of months. I discussed with the missus and various mates and it made sense that now was the right time to move on. The next car is likely to be Japanese and...

    The engines aren't the problem mate. It's more so that it doesn't excite me anymore. More so to look at it than anything else.

    Time to move on mate. It's become a little bit boring so I'm looking for another RWD car with more power.

    Hello mate. Only one update recently... The car is FOR SALE! Yes that's right I said for sale.

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Cheers dude. No not yet mate. Got a few little upgrades first, the steering rack pictured above and some M3 ARBs. But tbh most if my spare money is going into my savings atm as me and the missus are moving in together this year so unfortunately the car has to lose out a little bit.

    Cheers mate! Yeah it was just cheap body filler I had laying around. Nothing special, in fact I got it from halfords ages ago so decided to make some use out of it finally.

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Cheers pal! Haha! It's just so much easier (and a bit pikey) than swapping out the sun roof panel. They are very heavy and taking them out often stops them ever working properly again. I do like the wheels, but the summer set are so much better imo.

    Also guys, bare in mind that all those updates were done around October time. Since then all I've done is insure it. Next up will be the steering rack and possibly a new steering wheel. But the MOT comes first (which is in a few weeks)!

    Here is a picture of my coupe next to the missus' compact... What a lovely looking couple! :lol:

    Here are some quick pictures of the winter wheels. The centre caps I bought are here. Apologies for the dirty car, but I'm not going to clean it in the rain! Comments welcome. :thumbsup

    Right then, finally got round to taking some photos... Here's the black headlining. I'm sure you've all seen the grey headlining already so here's a few I took of the progress and the headlining installed (the sunroof section was sprayed with cosmos black). Tbh taking the old stuff out is easy...

    Quick update on the winter wheels. Finally a day it wasn't pissing it down so I managed to get them primered (front and back) before it got dark. Before. After.

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    I've been quietly making progress on the winter wheels. Tbh I've kinda enjoyed it. It's been more work than I originally planned and I've taught myself how to use filler which was interesting (also inhaled way too much fumes and dust!). 4 out of the 5 are now awaiting paint as I've picked up...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    I've got some new winter wheels and winter tyres. I wasn't actually looking for new rims, but I got an offer for my old winter wheels that was too good to turn down, then these came up at a good price. Here are the wheels. The eagle eyed among you will notice two things in particular. They...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Essentially it's a E46 Compact steering rack. As explained to me, the early compacts (as in the ones made for the first couple of years) used this rack and it is actually quicker than the Z3 rack (the Z3 rack also being way more expensive than I payed). They measure 51mm per turn vs stock rack...

    Hello mate! A fair few updates tbh. Won't be many for a while though as me and the missus are moving in at some point this yeah. Thanks dude!

    For my Z3

    Hi mate. I'm good thanks. Doing all my winter prep over the next few weeks so very busy. How have you been?
  30. Prince

    For my Z3

    Around 200bhp but I'm yet to have it dyno'd. If you need info on the 'charger and a look at it fitted then see my project thread.

    Power wise there is a still a lot to do but it'll get there progressively. Smaller pulley, more aggressive cams, BBTB, improved intake (i.e. smoother), different injectors (can't remember off the top of my head but Mustang and turbo Volvo ones have been mentioned), uprated fuel pump, water/meth...

    Thanks lads. :) Due to expenses things were cut down this year. Not too bad really as the missus was with me so it saved 'that conversation'!

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Today I got Steve (thanks mate! :thumbsup) to fit my rear brakes and sort my handbrake out for me (as only one side worked!). As they needed doing I took the chance to upgrade from the solid dics found on the 318is and to vented discs found on the 328. They are a straight swap but you will need...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Not a big update but definitely an important one. Today I took advantage of the sunshine and changed the oil. I didn't take many pictures as I took them step-by-step last time. The purpose of the pictures is to show everyone what I use and where I bought it from. The oil. Gulf Competition F/S...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    Updates have been quite quiet since the 'charger went on. I achieved 140mph now, which I'm quite happy with. I think it would have done a little bit more but I didn't want to keep pushing it. Apart from that it's running very well. I might need a new brake duct as well. :lol2 I've also got a...

    Prince's BMW E36 318is Coupe

    No update, just some picture whoring. Last Sunday was the Northampton meet (big thanks for Seb for organising it) so here are the pictures that were taken of my car (a big thanks for all of these as well). Also to confirm for anyone wanting to see the car properly (who...
