DCR62's 1988 BMW M3

The car was imported from Japan to Australia and converted to Right Hand Drive. It has undergone a complete rebuild and now runs a Garrett GT30r turbocharger.  Currently around 330bhp @ 9psi. Eventually it will run at 14psi so around 400bhp should be achieved. The car is prodomantly a track car so I dont need to make any more power than 400bhp. It ha sbeen 4 yrs in the rebuild so best I get out there and have some fun.
