I would personally go for an engine swap. I’ve a M40 myself and financing wise it isn’t the smartest to turbo it or go itb route love the content!

Seemed that turbo would be the most cost effective gains.. we’ve run this car now and the top end seems toast. So engine swap it is! Maybe M52 or K series Honda 🫣🤔

Oh very cool! We will take great care of Casablanca. Perhaps you could shed some light on the engine, it’s running rough and won’t produce any power/ won’t pull past 2500rpm outside of 1st and 2nd gear.. seems like the top end is tired

@@AutoAfflicted "These engines aren't powerful at all, but they're great on gas and will never break down. I drove this one to Boston and back from New York with zero issues. It's a cruiser with the engine. I sold it about two years ago, and it was running perfectly, so I can't tell you what the issues might be. Just buy an M54 3.0 engine and drop it in... end of story. It brought a smile to my face to see it. Cheers!"

We can put it all together for you - car is like $23k with bodywork and paint - currently we’re fitting an s52 motor with trans and LSD @ a cost of $15k & Maxload / air ride suspension @ $6k and custom BBS wheels @ $4k .. so somewhere between $23k and $48k - email us AutoAfflicted@gmail.com
