I got all excited about this...

Then the bombshell

Therefore I have decided to take the forged engine and broken gear box out of the Rover 800 Coupe and donate it towards the BRM trackday car (with a gearbox rebuild).

 


Fucking bastard

My word, the photo of the wires hanging under and lurking in the dashboard of that 480 turbo is the stuff of night-terrors.

Well I suppose at least the mod served a useful purpose, a means to an end and wasn't some daft project that never was going to happen.

 

 

Yeah, he's honest about what it is and hasn't gone for the "me and my kerrrazy mates made this for a show, no MOT but will go straight through and doesn't need a SVA" line

Its often the case I find that when a car has had a load of really shit mods done that tip it over a line such that there's no longer any realistic chance of finding anyone who would be able to tolerate driving it to work, it miraculously becomes a 'track car'. Can you imagine turning up at a track day in this risible shitheap. "yeah LED doorhandles you know"

Can I just say if there is a reward for finding and killing anyone who looks at this and thinks they have achieved motoring perfection, then I'm your hired killer.  Provided the killing is actually a legal thing to do. Like putting down a dog that bites. or flushing live gold fish down the bog because you hate cleaning out the bowl (whoops - slipped)

Hahahahahaha (times a million), that Mercedes pick-up/caravan combo is just unbeatable, 100% eBay find of the week that. If we had a special golden (showers) award you'd win that for sure, Anon User.

I know I know an E90 BMW on Autoshite.
But this isn't a normal e90. This is one of the 500 (in the UK) 320si's that BMW fitted with a hand built and pretty much completely different high compression 4 cylinder engine, built in part at the F1 BMW factory for touring car homologation. Not only that they moved the location of the engine further back in the car and fitted it with a barrytastic but genuine OMGOEM carbon fibre rocker cover,
The interesting bit is although the engine was hand built at BMW F1 they didn't say hand build by who.  Maybe the guy who cleans the septic tan?  The kid on work experience in the accounts section? The engines on the whole seem to be total dog shit.
They fitted aluminium liners instead of the normal steel ones, which crack causing massive engine failures. Half of them are on their 2-3rd engine. Apparently when they do work the engine modifications they made are completely unsuitable for a heavy saloon car so they feel slow and need the rev'd to get anywhere. This one is for sale near me as finance repo with no history and the fateful words "It was a non runner but after a battery charge it drove 50 miles with no problems or issues"
If it did go wrong god only know how you'd get parts for it.
