I do anyway

Anyway, this headache just feels like there is a grizzly urinating inside my head...

You causing trouble again Dave?

Anyway, after doing research the 3.5 BMW I've got lined up weighs around the same as a Pinto according to your value...

Gonna find another site to check my value...

Cheese.

'fraid so Rich

The pinto weight is accurate, as we hauled one out of a Fraud Corblimey and dropped it some scales.

I'll have a look around to if you like, for a bit of independant adjudication

Fatboy Dave - 28/6/02 at 06:35 PM

Rich,

I take it you found this?

I assume you're also using the M30 M535i 12v engine?

_DAMN_that is a big motor........

Yep, rough measurement front to back while still in situe... 30"

Long I'm sure you'll all agree.

Good job we're daft enough to attempt a chassis redesign....

stephen_gusterson - 28/6/02 at 09:06 PM

its all the crap at the front that looks scary.....what an induction system!!!

That's on the right as you look from the front into the engine bay.

That adds to the width a fair bit....

Also the height with the bit labelled as 2.

Fatboy Dave - 29/6/02 at 12:16 PM

How about binning the injection and fitting throttle bodies? Or even crabs?

jcduroc - 29/6/02 at 09:09 PM

Hi Dave
"Crabs" are good...to eat.

I blame fat fingers, and a combination of giving my keyboard a good thumping, and never checking my spelling......

Metal Hippy™ - 30/6/02 at 06:43 PM

In a word, no.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Besides, I like injection.
