took the e28 M535i with M5 engine for its first little test drive
around the block , just fitted new radiator etc
have to get the headers reshape to fit the exhaust system proper . just jammed 2 smaller pipes into to join the ends together , so still noisy , driving around the block at 10pm , also have to get the rhs engine mount modified to fit better etc .
and needs a bit of a tune etc . adjust clutch travel (too much travel with new modified clutch) had to muck around with some of the little coolant hoses etc , to suit the e28 system etc
seams to go ok , didn;t realy try it out properly realy starts to pull over 4000rpm , but couldn't do go much further to much noise ..
booked into exhaust place for monday ,, looking forward to driving it properly ..
