the chassis is designed to fit the m3 engine so it'll go straight in.
I'm going to use bmw 328 brakes as they're a little smaller so will heat up better. These are too big at 310mm
So front discs will be 286mm rear will be 280mm.
I'll need a new prop but they're not too expensive.
I'll be using the m3 LSD diff with bmw 328 drive shafts.

I think I attempted that with my Sierra donor.
I don't think it was possible!!! I'd have had to cut the car apart around the loom! Too many connectors put on after the loom has been fed
through bulkheads etc.

Got mine out complete from the sierra, all of it! I like a challenge (but this would have been simpler than the BMW)! It does help to have it as you
know it all will work, and things like the haynes manual tell porky's about the wiring; some times it's simpler to trace if you have the
whole loom (but label everything, be careful to keep the labels in good condition i.e. don't fall off in the X number of years before you need
it!)..
I guess with GTD you will use a new loom anyhow?

My car's a pre EWS which is the extra security part of it so its not such an issue and even for those with its a good way to meet IVA
requirements.
I'll be making up a new loom for lights etc but using the engine loom as it has a nice big plug to the main loom and keeps everything looking
tidy.
