Thank you Matt.
Went to Qld Transport approval person to see what is required to get the correct mod plates. He was happy to sign off on the cage, turbo,seat and seat belts. He did the mod plate on the spot and will post the plate and paper work once I supply photos of some minor work to the cage (needs a 4mm plate under each legs to the cage in addition to a seat belt installed for the driver side. Too easy.
The safety certificate is another matter but easily do able. (smaller tyres, steering wheel, bull bar,shock mount and a few other things. So all in all looking good.
Cheers Gary
Gday Matt,
hey, it's been too long.
Your 40 is gone!
wow.
Best of luck to the new owner. Gary, you must be stoked!
I can't wait to see what you do with your company car.
Nice beemer,
it's been a while since we last spoke, I've still got my 42, but in that time.... I got myself a beemer too
I am handing in my thesis in about 2.5 weeks (I hope
), but after that sometime I'll have to come out for visit and catch up. I'll bring the two wheeler out.
Where are you going to build a house?

I am really pleased with the purchase it was too good a deal to pass up. I had a ball driving her home she went well. Good power ,good steer and brakes what more could you ask for in a forty. In the short term just going to get her registered on the road in Qld, change the oil do the valves and away I go.

Well,
best of luck with it Gary.
I've only had the pleasure of sitting in the passenger seat, but during such I was grinning and giggling like a school girl
One impressive machine.
My 42 is positively tractor like in comparison.
I hope you have a long and happy ownership.
Hans.

Cheers mate,
she's a nice old girl, and if you keep saying nice things about her like that, she might just let you take her for a spin
Speak to you soon.

I think I need to finish building my new house first, the rental I'm in has no room for projects. However the new house has an extra large garage.
Here is my latest creation in design and currently been made to order.
It will take my E34 3.4Ltr BMW 535i and stroke it out to 4.2Ltr. New custom Rods and Pistons too.
You know me no half measures. But no major work on the above project can start as yet. Just gathering the parts.
Nice, how did you go about designing that? what software do you use to draw and analyse it?

I worked from a stock crank and factory specs. The unit is perfectly balanced too as I can also check volume and weight in CAD

That is static balance, how's dynamic balance?

Will know the dynamic once its tested but should be very close been a 6 the only variation is from the cross drilling and the key way as well as the anomalies in material and machining.
This is the M3 variation I did for the 4 cylinder engine.

that is one tight fitted manifold, amazing.
i think i read later in the thread about the sizing being wrong but still, that is something to see...
sorry to see you sold it.
did you ever do a full list of the parts you used or are they scattered through out the thread?
the intercooler, what kind of $$$ are they?

Turbo is fitted and all the intercooler work is now complete apart from the coolant plumbing of the water, the straight fittings need swapping out now for either 45 or 90 degrees ones, they were only ever intended for testing.
Next up the stainless 3" exhaust system.
But for now the completed photos.

It's all scattered through the thread I'm afraid.
As for the exhaust manifold few minor issues with internal sizes going from larger to smaller, but fixed and in the thread somewhere.
As for the intercoolers, a kit is $400 you can get your cores on Ebay for $200 so if you can Weld all up $600. If we fabricate it then around $1100-$1300
Regards Matt

$1300 is a decent price considering the workmanship involved ...
so what is the next project? a 79 series with another kickin engine build?

Just a quick update, the 2F-ETI is still going strong, though the owner is thinking of swapping the motor out for a diesel
As for me I now have one of these
