Currently 104. After 21 years and 132k mileage it's lost quite a few horses. After I'm done with it however I'm expecting about 300 but I'll be happy with 270.How many horsies does that purty baby have?:

Engine is an m44b18 straight 4 cylinder block. They're stubby engines but it's getting something with an extra 2 cylinders lol
It houses the pistons yes. The more pistons, the more cylinders.What exactly is/does a cylinder do in an engine? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm not exactly 100% on it. From what I remember and what I've looked up before, it's what the piston is housed inside of correct? And 'the more pistons you add' the more power or force you can derive from the engine?

I'm into anything rear wheel drive that smashes the limiter going sideways hahaha
Thank you. These kind of builds can be expensive but this one is very budget. I'm looking at around 2.5 - 3k in total put into this project.Good luck with this project! I wish I could do something similar but it's an expensive hobby :glare:
What else have you got in mind for visual modifications? Are you changing those wheels?
Damn. I can't wait to see how it will look when it's finished. Be sure to take plenty of pictures as you're progressing!Thank you. These kind of builds can be expensive but this one is very budget. I'm looking at around 2.5 - 3k in total put into this project.
The car is gonna have clear indicators, an Alpina splitter for the front bumper, no rear bumper as the wheel-well (where the spare wheel is placed under the boot/trunk) is going to be cut out and have an aluminium plate welded over the big hole it'll leave. I may end up fitting bull bars just so I don't crumple my chassis if/when I out it into a wall. Definitely different wheels as I need some with a better offset. Thinking e30/e34 5x120 bbs wheels as they're the perfect offset for what the car is going to be used for. I'm hoping to speak to mental when the time comes and see if he's okay with me ordering a custom RaGEZONE sunstrip. I think the logo and dai would look cool on it. 50mm overfenders for the front, rolled arches on the rear, intake through the headlight (don't know which side yet) and that's about all I can think of for now.
Thanks. I haven't started buying yet I'm saving for a donor car at the moment. Once the time comes I'll be pricing everything up to total.From 100 to 300. Wow. Good luck to you and your mates.
And what is the total cost of the items that you bought?
