I'll do a burnout calm your tits  Here is a short video on the dyno. iPhones are shite when it's loud. You get the idea though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSyU1H983QQ Sadi posted:For real. If I was flush with cash I'd love to do to my 46M what you've done. Keep its rolling dude. Haha thanks man glad you like it. This is me.  I made 500hp and 575nm. That's on a stingy dyno on crap fuel with no miles. I'll run it again in the summer on 99ron and see where we're at. Exciting stuff!

I'm not going to ask you to talk about money directly, but I assume this conversion has stood you less than a new (or as-new rebuilt) 6-pot taken up to the same level?

I'm sure I saw a mental 450hp stroked S54 and it was £70k. In reality I looked at the supercharger kits that are around. I needed a whole new block. Break down was roughly the same as this once you've done a forged bottom end. And that's with a 100k block. I don't think I'd be able to trust a FI S54 either and it was much much heavier and more complicated.

Right then time for a little update. Last time I posted I was driving around bedding in the engine on a lumpy as hell base map. Also I was pretty overwhelmed by the car. Since then I've had it mapped by the mega talented Emerald crew.  It made just shy of 500hp on 95RON. We decided to map it this way because I'm going to be taking it on trips and it's better to be tuned for this and able to run on 95 in Scotland/France than blow it up just for the sake of a slight performance edge. We think in reality now it's run in and being run on 99 it's getting on for 530ish HP. Which is probably enough to be honest. So much torque it's unbelievable. The only slight issue is some shunting at around 1500rpm. This is because I've used such a ridiculously aggressive cam. But that slight irritation is made better by the scream at about 7k. Emerald also managed to implement some of my pretty tricky requests as well as TCS and SM. Even got the CSL shift lights for my gears! I absolutely cannot recommend the guys enough. This also happens in my track map haha:  Short video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRqyT1ADSdc/?taken-by=a5h_87 Sport button switchable maps here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSoztq3jUmi/?taken-by=a5h_87 Dave Walker wrote a little bit about my car in last month's PPC mag too. Which was nice.  Another magazine all the way from sunny JAPAN spotted my little M3 in the corner of a mate's workshop while she was parked up waiting for me to collect and decided that they needed to feature her. A quick wash and polish and then all ready to make me an international sensation (of probably 10 people who like good wheels and ruined cars!) I'm absolutely buzzing the see the pictures. I think they're due in July! Quite an honour that they were struck by it when it's parked among GT3s and stanced out Lambos tbh!  So since this has all been done, I'm just getting to grips with it. Lots of pointless drives and fuel wasted made me realise I needed to pickup a daily. I seem to get around 10mpg if I'm not on a big run haha!  I decided to grab a R27 Clio with a view of it being a perfect, but fun, runaround. Unfortunately for me, the bottom end went just 2 hours into ownership! There seems to be a theme in this thread! So we pulled that engine out and grabbed another which went back in without too much hassle. I also realised it was worth doing the clutch at the same time. Imagine my surprise when the little Clio's clutch cost more than the huge LS7 setup I run in the M! This dampened my love of cars for a couple of weeks but as the weather started improving, so did my mood. Couple of little blasts out and clean's with friends had me feeling like Dominic Toretto.   It was during one of these sunny, beered days we decided we should do a proper roadtrip, and just like that, hotels in the North of Scotland were booked for a NC500 trip. 3 M3s, a 911, a megane cup and a S2000. Next week we embark on this trip to see some of the absolute best scenery in the UK. Very excited! The sun also inspired me to get my TE37s refurbished and sold. While doing this I realised it would be incredibly rude not to try on the BBS wheels!   Perfect! Probably even room for another 15mm of dish. Also had a run down to Stuttgart Classica's Porsche open day in the Cotswolds. Beautiful day out and got to catch up with some people I've really missed.   Essentially, I'm over the moon. NC500 next week and then a plethora of track days to follow! A friend with a certain Nurburgring famous Golf is also very interested to get out in it. Hopefully this leads to us building 2x very, very silly cars and getting round the ring faster than most! Only gremlin I'm currently encountering is a fuse in my ignition system. Will hopefully have resolved pretty soon! Other than that, never skipped a beat. Lent it to a pal with the blue S54 circuit car above and he was absolutely blown away. Suppose I should think about fitting this cage, some intrax and the aero once I've booked some track days! Will Scotland be the perfect location for a burnout? Will I somehow get even more speeding tickets in the clio? Will I be mercilessly trolled in my own thread?! Stay tuned to find out!

Fake and gay. jk Whats the NC500 thing? Also is the nurburgring golf guy the one with the silver mkii with a turbo on PH? Also what trackdays are you doing? I've keep getting caught up with work and poo poo to sort out my car properly which is annoying as I feel like i've missed a bunch of days I wanted to do.

track day bro! posted:Fake and gay. An unbelievably sexy 5 day jaunt around the coasts of Scotland! We're staying in a bunch of castles and exploring distilleries etc. Can't wait!   Yeah my boy Nige is the one. You can read all about the golf here: http://pinderwagen.com If he does the same it's gonna be great. Such a clever bloke and we can fab just about anything you can think of betweeen us. I want to go to Bedford again and also do Caldwell once im slightly comfortable with the car. No run off! Let me know if you see anything cool tho!

Car sounds great! Some great roads on the NC500, particularly the west coast side. The Garve to Lochcarron is a brilliant fast road but be aware that it's probably the most policed part of the road aside from the a9. If you've got time on the way up and down I'd consider making a detour to cut down on the a9 monotony. The B9176 Bonar Bridge to Alness road is a good detour if you are sick of the a9 on the east side, and it's worth taking a quick drive along the A832 Glen Docherty road to Achnasheen when you are in a Kinlochewe. Both are great roads and with excellent views.

I'd def do bedford again but I feel like youd love donnington, bit more dicey but some lovely fast sweepers and nice amounts of elevation. Aren't you in the midlands? Shouldn't be too bad for you to get to either. I've got to go back to scotland, so many nice roads tho i'm well jell.

I think the very genesis of automotive insanity is some form of Scotland or "because Scotland" similarly to "because racecar".

Car was perfect on the NC500 trip other than I think the steering UJ overheating at times!
