Very nice. Did you buy the sump already modified or did you have it done?

Bought it like it. Either that or find an rs2000 one so this was an easier option.

Crank and block now back from machining is first job was to get it mounted on my engine stand.

And give it a clean for paint

Then we gave it a couple of coats o paint.

In between all this I decided to sell my van as I barely use it and buy my self something I can use more day to day. Always liked them so wen I found this was well chuffed.

E46330d

Coilovers
19 inch bbs wheels
M3 front brakes
Remapped
Decat
Piper cross filter
M3 steering wheel

It's great fun to drive and surprisingly good on fuel.
