The newest TCD project.

Post by T_C_D »

This car is a basket case. Money shifted engine, trashed interior, poorly repaired hood, etc. But it's a good starting point for a prototype car.

I purchased a 1998 m52b28 with 56k on it for $1000. That motor will serve as the basis for what will surely be a stout street car.

Still a good looking car. It looks like it may have some goodies on it...

Who put E46 wheels on an E36 M3? Tsk tsk...

Nice one Todd, you're using a great engine to start with. 95 or 96+?

That won't be decided until next year Andrew.Don't worry you and TCD will be the first to know and will try to coincide it with some drag day on a Friday night before Tedfest down in Cayuga or Toronto Motorsport Park.Then we can invite the Maxbimmer Boys out to see TCD's turbo kits tear up the competition. :shock: Yea Baby!

We'll be bringing a superior product to market at a competitive price. Plenty of junk already out there for peanuts for the "budget" minded.

Our commitment to quality and 100% USA content doesn't allow us to price our kits "cheaply" as you suggest they need to be.

Any reason it wouldn't bolt up to an E34 525i touring?

A ~300 (conservative) hp E34 wagon for just a few bones would be alright :)

It'll work. It's a car I would love to own as well.

Change of plans. Sold the M3 and bought a 1994 325is M-Tec. The lift is almost free so work can start on it. It's getting:

SPAX springs
Bilstein Sports
Big Adj Sways
Aluminum flywheel and HD clutch
SEM Standalone
TCD-s2

Car whould be done by the 3rd week in January.

The Buzz Bomb received a new motor today. It's a non vanos m50b25. It's n/a for now but we'll see how long that lasts.

Hmm, E36 kit in the works; 325is done mid- to late-January; I bet the Buzz Bomb gets a turbo early-February.

Nice car you got Todd.

IIRC you bought that from Zubin @ Inmotive in Miami, right? Good friend of mine.
