Absolutely none with the Euro motor. A move to Cali would mean either going back to stock or going S54.

A couple of the E9 from my first drive last weekend.
The car is not complete yet - but finished enough to drive it and start shaking the bugs out.

We are on hold for a few parts still (stuck in UPS somewhere) as well as just this time of year with folks being busy on other projects.

So far - am VERY happy with the way it is turning out.
It may be finished Feb/March timeframe... Hope so...

Oh - with the Megasquirt ECU on 'safety/limp home' mode for engine break in... It still even then has WAY more power than the original engine when it was doing it normal thing. LOL

Beautiful (even with the missing trim here and there!)

I've always loved E9s. The design has a strange mix of beautiful and quirky bits to it. While it shows some tendencies from its era, its much better looking than most of its contemporaries...
