Stock.!
I hope it is just a good balanced car when it is done!
I'm undecided between going full OEM and just driving it or adding in uprated clutch etc. Yeah I think it will be
Edited: E36 4 pot, sort of low budget. Possible actual skids soon.

Thanks man - appreciate the feedback. It isn't as budget as I would like - it's tipped over the 1K mark but it should be pretty capable and a barrel of laughs.

UPDATE
So I have been run off my feet with work but finally made some progress. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Still a non start (No spark for some reason) but i'll get it running this week - got a drift day next Saturday so let's see what happens.
Bye bye single cam
Hello Twin cam
Slowly buttoning it up
and in - ignore the foil tape shit - was playing about with something.
And done.
So - bought a down pipe - await to see what the no star issue is. Fitted a EWS deleted ECU and bridged the 2 wires. I can only assume it is a crank sensor but need further investigation.
So yeah, all good thus far, it turns over and sounds healthy enough - I fitted the single mass flywheel and coupled that with a new OEM sach clutch. I have also refreshed some parts and things to make sure I won't really have to touch it all season.
Reliable, simple skids.
I hope.
Will update again when running and see how it works at Swaffham

UPDATE:
So it runs, had to chase a few issues and tidy some things up but it's 95% there.
Only issue I have is no Rev counter ? Still trying to work that one out (open google) I also have a feeling the temp gauge might not work - something to do with the pin out on the X20 plug and a EWS 3 vs EWS 2 issue. so yeah. Need to find some time to actually drive it but so far I would say it's a success. Is a lot more responsive with the single mass flywheel. Al I really want is a OEM air box so I can run the factory cold feed to my hideous pod filter.
Will update once the clutch is fully bedded in and I have driven it in anger !
Cheers all.

Holy Thread revival. Moved onto E46's now - for anyone interested - this little M44 was an absolute babe - Did a number of skid days without issue - then it got PG'9'd by Mr plod and the parts went onto a coupe chassis.
Might throw up a thread on the 46's - 36 prices have risen a lot last few years.
Been through a few chassis since this was built - but still it was my favourite car.
Now using a M52B28TU swapped E46 saloon in Alpine white
If people want a thread on that - let me know - there are plenty of pics/vids to accompany a thread.
