new 300bhp donor
not bad for £1300
Forged wheels too. Hoping I can get back most of the cost by selling off what I don't need.

£1300 is cheap as chips for a pukka m3. was thinking alfa v6 but that would cost £500 just for the lump never mind making it RWD.
As above there's potential for it only costing me £300ish for a proven 300bhp engine. whats expensive about that?
some people will pay £6k for a 230bhp n/a duratec. thats expensive!

cheapest 3.0 24v v6 I could find was £500 and that was a bargin as it had everything on the front subframe too.
It was the cost of a RWD conversion to it too added to needing an extra manifold etc etc.

I could have bought you a 24V 2.9 cosworth engine for less than that, but then youd need to MS it.

Good motors but heavy compared to the alfa and still don't sound the same

Fibreglass panels, stripped interior, quick tidy up, all the heavy useless poo removed, roll cage, custom simplified dash and hey presto, a perfect
track day car.

Eh?
Why do you have to run MS? the EEC-IV works absolutly fine.
My last Cossy 24V owes me -£19
and the one before that about -£50

Beware the cost of fixing and tracking an M3!
They eat brakes, tyres and clutches.
BUT
they are bloo*y good trackers!
£1300 ! What is wrong with it?

What do you mean fix it? It's already been taped up perfectly well! Use it for a locost, but first flog the interior and track it at least
once first before you break it fully!!!
